MUCH ACTIVITY
At AERO STATION

Plotted by Lieutenant McIlvaine, of
the marine corps, a flying boat from
the aeronautic station came over the
city yesterday afternoon at three
o'clock, flying hardly hundred feet
over the office buildings. The flight
attracted a great deal of attention
from the crowds on the streets and
caused much comment.
Earlier in the day, about 1920, a
free balloon in command of Captain
Geiger, of the marine corps, was re-
leased from the station, and under the
southerly wind took course due
north of the station, skirting the ex-
IRENE western limits of the city.

On Thursday night at the Shannon mine at ,Metcalf Mine Superintend- ent 9.cI oy, of the shannon Copper Company, and his wife and boy, had q narrow escape from death when a bomb, which had been placed by as sassins It the side of their house exploded, tearing away the side wall oi one of the living rooms and shattered every window pane in the house. The Mccoy family had been sleeping in the room where the, explosion took place until a few days ago when their sleeping quarters were changed to another room.

 Supt. Mccoy and family were asleep when the bomb was set off. A plank from the shattered wall struck the bed in the adjoining room where their little boy was sleeping: Mccoy was cut about the face by flying glass. Mrs. Mccoy was stun ned by the explosion and the shock shook the ground for a distance of 25G yards from the scene of the ex- plosion. Window panes were also broken in adjoining houses and books in the Mccoy home were blown through the shattered wind, ows and down the hill side,

WILSON WANTS GOETHALS ID BUILD 1000
 SHIPS
Will Give Canal Builder Un-
 limited Authority In Devis- ing Means To Keep Flow of Food To Allies Unbroken.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON. April H. Major General George Goethals, builder of the Panama Canal, was formally rec commended by President Wilson today to take charge of the building of 1000 wooden ships for foreign commerce.
 Increase of overseas tonnage is re- garded as an imperative need to de- feat the German submarine campaign and keep up the 1oyssof supplies to the entente. Consequently the great est importance is attached to the plans of the shipping board for build ing wooden ships. The entire re- sources of available. ship building yards are to be used for the purpose.
 The President earnestly hopes that General Goethals will undertake the work, and if he does so will be placed in general charge with unlimited au- thority to organize the building facil ities.
 The shipping board has S50,000.000 at it's disposal for the construction and purchase of vessels. and it is es- timated that beginning early in the autumn ships at the rate of 100000 tons a month can be turned out.
 In 1916 the United States had 500, 900 tons of shipping in the trans-At- lantic trade. During a meeting of railroad executives here today the question was taken up of arranging for ships of the Great Lakes and in the coastwise trade to be utilized for ocean-going commerce. Under such plan. to be put into effect when the railroads can provide facilities to take the places of the lake and coastwise shipping it is estimated the present transatlantic tonnage of the United States will be doubled and possibly trebled.
 The use of German merchant ships now in American harbors will add ap- proximately 600.000 tons to the SUD- ply of the United States.
 Chairman Wm. Denman of the ship ping board discussed the entire ship ping question with Pdesident Wilson today.
