SIDE OF CAPITOL IS
WRECKED BY BOMB
TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION At
WASHINGTON is BELIEVED
WORK OF CRANK.
WATCHMAN BLOWN OFF CHAIR
Part of Ceiling and Side Walls of Pub
lie Reception Room are Shaken
pown-No One is Injured
BY Blast.

Washington, July Ga tremendous
explosion, believed to have been caus-
ed by some kind of bomb or Internal
machine, wrecked the public reception
room on the east side of the capital
building shortly before midnight. No
one was injured.
Officials believe that the explosive
was placed by a crank who desired to
create a sensation. Visitors were al
lowed in the room during the day and
a timed machine might have been left
without attracting attention.
Superintendent Woods of the capitol
building, summoned by panic-stricken
watchmen, made a hurried investiga-
ton and then telephoned for an expert
on explosives. Until the expert has
made his report 10 official statement
concerning the incident will be made
public.
Doors Blown Open.
Part of the ceiling and side walls OF
the room were shaken down, a huge
mirror and a crystal chandelier shat
tered, and the doors blown open. One
of the doors led into the office of the
vice president and is said not to have
been opened in 40 years.
The building had been closed since
dark and there was no one in it but
the watchmen and telephone switch
board operators. Waterman Jones on
the floor below at the east entrance
said ne was blown from his chair by
the explosion.
The report could be heard for a
great distance and in a few minutes q
crowd of excited people had gathered
on the east plaza. In the meantime
lights had been switched on and ex-
cited officials were rushing back and
forth on two floors of the great build
ing.
Believed Work of Crank.
While some officials thought the ex-
plosion was the work of an irresponsi-
bic crank with no other end in view
than a sensation, others seriously sug.
gested that it might have been per-
petrated by a person desiring to dem
onstrate his disapproval of some Of the
policies of the American government
1t was apparent that there was no in
tent to destroy life as it is generally
known that the roc is empty at night.
Some idea of the force of the bias,
was gained by the discovery of a chan
delier crystal into the connection links
Of which a splinter of wood had been
driven.

SINKING OF VESSEL
IS HELD JUSTIFIED
ARMENIAN REFUSED TO HALT AT
SUBMARINES WARNING, SAY
DISPATCHES.
LITTLE TENSION AT CAPITAL
No Likelihood That Any New Cause Of
Complaint Will Be Added to Is
sues Between United States
and Germany.

Washington, July 3.-Ohcial infor-
nation on which to base an accurate
judgment of circumstances under
which the British merchantmen Ar
menian was destroyed with the loss of
a number OF American lives is lacking
and until all details are available, Sec
rotary Lansing states hat the position
Of the American government cannot be
determined.
Hold Sinking Justified.
From news dispatches, however, and
a closer reading of official reports. of
inasmuch as the Armenian apparently
refused to submit to the warning COM
mand OF the German submarine to halt
and made repeated attempts to escape,
according to international law the
sinking OF the vessel was justified,
even though noncombatants were on
board. This was the rule laid down
in the ease OF blockade runners in the
American Civil war and is the princi-
pie applicable also to neutral ves-
sells which refuse to submit to visit
and search.
No New Cause for Complaint.
There was little tension over the III
cident in official quarters here after 1t
became known that the Armenian had
sought to avoid capture. 1t was ad-
mitted that If official reports bore out
the press dispatches. there was M
likelihood that any new cause of com
plant would be added to the issues
pending between the United States and
Germany.
One or two officials suggested that
inasmuch MS Germany had in effect
given warning that enemy ships would
be t~orpedoed without warning, a mer-
chairman carrying contraband might
be justified In attempting to escape,
since to halt would lei certain de-
struotion, with no assurances OF an
opportunity for the crew to escape. 1t
was pointed put that the last Amer
lean note to Germany on the Lusitania
and Falaba cases said:
Passengers Lives Forfeited.
Nothing but actual forcible resist
ance or continued efforts to escape by
flight when ordered to stop for pur,
pose Of visit on the part of the meT-
chairman has ever been held to for
felt the lives Of her passengers and
crew"
These officials were inclised to ar
que that the German submarines
might not order vessels to stop merely
for the purpose OF visit" Others,
however, declared that the rules OF
warfare do not require the commander
of a warship to state his purpose when
directing a merchantmen to halt.

AUDUBO. q WILL
SOON RETURN HOME

With but few days remaining
before the closing of the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition at San Francisco, the
Iowa Panama-Pacific commission,
which was given an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the proper exhibition OF
Iowa resources at the fair, is far
from being broke.
The commission drew $4,000
from the state treasury a few days
ago and still has $4,000 to its
credit.
/. The exposition will close Dec. 4.
The property of the Iowa historical
department which has been on dis
play at San Francisco will be boxed
and returned to Des Moines early in
December. Although there has bsen
some talk of preserving the Horn of
Plenty which won the first prize in
the agricultural department for Iowa
at the exposition, it is probable that
no attempt will be made to bring 1t
back to Iowa, it is said.
The horn is forty-five feet high
and sixty feet wide at the base. At
the present time it is said that Des
Moines has no building which could
conveniently house the big corn ex-
hibit.
The many people from Audubon
county who have been at the exposi-
ton and remained for the closing
days, will soon be making tracks for
home. However only last week no
less than 10 persons went from here
to see the exposition which is now
about to become only matter of
history.

VERY LITTLE WINTER YET

The past three weeks has been a
remarkable period for weather var
iations in this section of Iowa. The
first six days of the month were ex-
ceptionally mild, better than any
consecutive period of equal duration
in either July or August and ending
with the remarkable high tempera-
ture of Sunday, Nov. z, when the
mercury registered 70 in the shade
the warmest November day in Iowa
since the weather bureau was estab-
lished in 1878. The week following
the high mark was regular Nov
ember crazy quilt of fair and foul,
ending with the first snow blizzard
on the early morning of Sunday the
14th. Snow remained on the roofs
and ground short time, the mercury
Monday morning being down to 16,
or slide of SO degrees as compared
with Sunday the 7th. In many or
the sheltered gardens of Audubon
verbenas, phlox, castor bean plants
and late tomato flowers fiourished
right up to the beginning of the late
freeze, or till Saturday, November
10, which is an exceptional record
for this latitude. The last week has
been very pleasant with slight freez-
ing nights. AS we go to press there
is every indication that Thanksgiving
will be as pleasant as II was last year.
Cheer up, 1t is only sixteen weeks till
the vernal equinox and then spring
begins.
