THE EMPIRE TO HAVE VERY LATEST
 LINOTYPE MODEL

The Empire Printing Company last week placed an order for a latest No. 19 model Merganthaler Linotype machine. It is the latest product Of this old company of type-casting ma chine makers. and is designed par ticularly for newspaper offices. The model has been on the market for only a few weeks, but found an in- stantaneous demand. Arrangements made through use Of the cable insured the shipment to The Empire one of the first carload of the machines to come to the Pacific Coast.
 The new Empire machine will con tain three magazines and have five different faces of type. including head letters. on it at the same time. It will enable The Empire to appear in a new dress. and the selections of type will give 1t the same headlines and styles that are used on the Chicago Herald, which carries the motto on its first page, Easy to Read and Worth Reading"
 Speaking of the Mergenthaler mod el 19, The Empire will receive, and Models 16, IT. and IS, which came out at about the same time, the Boston News Bureau, one of the greatest financial papers of the coun- try says:
 Domestic sales of Mergenthaler Linotype Go. are running at or above previous records Demand for new model machines. three of the most up.to.date of which were plac- ed on the market only about two months ago, is particularly strong.
 Newspapers throughout the coun- try have recovered from the effect of depressed conditions brought about by the war. and are in the market for printing equipment on a larger scale than in peace times"
 The Empires machine will be shipped from San Francisco this week.
 This very latest linotype will be installed in the new Empire building and will be in addition to the Mer- genthaler machine now in use in The Empire composing room. In ad- dition to 1t, some new type faces will be received which may be used on the present machine or the new one, giving The Empire the best linotype equipment of any newspaper on the Pacific coast north of Van couver. All told, with the addition of this new machine and the new magazines, The Empire office will have 18 different type faces ranging from 6 point to 90 point.

NATION WIDE PLOT
 REVEALED IN BRASS
 TUBE NOW IN RIVER

BALTIMORE. Md. May l4.-(Spec- iaD This week there will be taken from the bottom of Lake Clifton a piece of brass uoing, filled with high explosives and which filled, weighs about three pounds. This little piece of tubing may furnish the United States Secret Service authorities with the key to one of the most important cases they have worked on for years--a case which concerns plot Of countrywide scope to wreck intuition plants.
 The bomb was sent to Baltimore with the evident intention of wreck ing a Baltimore plant-the McShane Bell Foundry-op opposite Clifton park It was found in a shipment of sup plies for the manufacture of war munitions sent to the plant.
 It was two weeks ago that the bomb was discovered in the ship ment It was given to a young workman in the shop to take 1t to field back of the plant and bury It. Instead. he threw it in the lake. Now. the lake will have to be drain ed to find it.
 There are various reasons why the government authorities attach so much importance to the tubing, which they are convinced is a dangerous bomb.
 From the description of 1t given to the Secret Service sleuths by the young man who threw it into the water, the detectives gather that 1t resembles in many respects the bombs alleged to have been made for a similar purpose by accused munitions plotters in other sections. The government authorities, work Ing on plot that is national in its scope, but which centers in a Mid dle Western city, the name Of which they will not divulge. have in their possession other bombs. made from similar brass tubing.
 The detectives already have traced the shipment in which the supposed bomb was found. It is not believed that the bomb was placed in the shipment at its source. On the con. trary, actual evidence has been se- cured to prove that the bomb was placed in the shipment while in transit.
