examination, eleven persons were
killed and several injured. The bomb
nad been resigned to destroy the ltal-
AN Evangelical church in the heart OF
he Third ward, an Italian settlement.
Seven detectives, two policemen,
enc woman and an unidentified Italian
were killed. The bomb, which was of
scientific construction and evidently
with a time fuse attached, was found
IN the basement OF the church. Police
headquarters were called and Detec-
tive Mckinney was sent to get the
missile.
On his way he met an Italian
named Mazuinni, who was taking the
bomb to headquarters. Mckinney ac-
companied him back to the station.
While Mazuinni was taken into the
office of Lieutenant Flood for ques-
tioning, Desk Sergeant Henry Deck

about the missile. Without warning
it exploded.
The woman killed was Catherine
Walker She had gone to the police
station to report a robbery and was
standing in the hallway waiting to
get into the lieutenant's office when

church by anarchists friendly to the
Italians recently arrested for breaking
up a patriotic meeting being held by
a missionary from the church.
More than 25 Italians have been ar

Railroad War Board.
COMMODITIES ARE FIRST
Rail Pool to Give Priority to Essen.
tiaIs Of WSr-PubIic Requested
to Cut Travelling for
Pleasure.

Washington, Nov 27.-The commit
tee which will operate eastern rail-
roads as a unit will make several
suggestions, two of which are:
l. A practical embargo on the
transportation of luxuries.
2. A request to the public to re-
duce pleasure travel
The operating committee, composed
of operating vice presidents of the
eastern lines, will meet here with the
railroad war board. Many schemes al
ready are under discussion for the
maximum utilization OF facilities for
war BUSINESS.
Judge Lovett OF the priority board,
the only government agency through
which direct and positive control can
be exercised over shipments, denied
that he had decided on an embargo
against automobiles. He said:
The report that | am contemplating
an order shutting off cars from the
automobile industry is without founda.

sentials by transportation orders.
That statement still stands"
Reluctant to Step Luxuries.
II is believed that the administers
ton is reluctant to cut Oh the move
ment of luxuries until the Christmas
trade has been supplied. This may
take another week or 10 days.
1t was learned that many retail deal
ers in luxuries are already In financial
straits, due to the curtailment OF their
business due to the war, and the ad
ministration does not wish to precipi
tate any Wholesale crashes In the bust
ness world. Railroads will insist, nev
artheless that If they are to move
coal, sugar wheat and steel, the foul
great staples now held up, they must
be relieved of some of the burdens
which they consider non-essential.
Ask Reduction In Travel.
Reduction in pleasure travel or
railways will be urged by the railroad
war board through a campaign O
advertising There is no desire on
the part of the railroads to diminst
necessary travel. But through un
necessary travel huge demands ART
made upon rolling stock, train crew,
and trackage. Although the rail
roads have cut their passenger equip
ment and stopped many of theil
trains, passenger travel is still in
creasing.
II has been already announced tha

also is a member of the Senate finance

that in many respects the new wal

George reported FIVE sunk when he
thrilled the House of Commons last

Petrograd, Nov. 27.-The latest
revolutionary movement in Russia is
threatened with disruption by dissen-
sion in the ranks of the Bolsheviki
over the autocratic methods of the
council of national commissioners.
The conflict between the protesting
members of the faction and the conf
missioners has become so bitter that
the authority of the council to order
soldiers to open peace negotiations is
vigorously denied by opponents
The issuance of DEGREES relating to
an armistice without first consulting
the central executive committee of the
Workmens and Soldiers deputies,
which is the highest governing body
in Russia, precipitated the internecine
trouble. Nicholai Lenine, the Boil.
sheviki premier, is seeking to palliate
leaders of the wranglng factions.
Lenine Replies to Critics.
Lenine, replying to criticism direct
ed against the order that soldiers
open negotiations for a truce, which
order one of the wounded soldiers
termed a great blunder by the COM
missioners, explained that the order
| was issued for the purpose of combat
ting the counter revolutionary tactics
Of General Dukhonin and other high
| officers, t'us making 1t impossible for
them to prevent the opening of ne
sotiations.
This, he said, was in keeping with
the policy of the democratic govern
ment, that the masses themselves act,
since the Bureaucrats, civil and mill.
tary, were distrusted He pointed
out that the soldiers are not empow-
cred to sign treaty for an armistice,
but only to negotiate it.
No Separate Peace Contemplated.
Lenine declared that Russia did NOT
| contemplate a separate peace with
Germany, that the belief that an ar
mistice on the Russian front would
make it possible for Germany to
throw a large force on the French
front was groundless, as the Russian
government, before signing a treaty
for an armistice would communicate
with the Allies and make certain pro-
posals to "the imperialistic govern
nents of France and England, reiec-
lion of which would place them in
open opposition to the wishes of their
own peoples"

Winter Sports.

Old and young are enjoying the hill
placed in readiness for skis, tobog-

Briggs place, by the ,Out-of-Doors
Sports club. It is a fine thing for
Princeton.
Electric lights illuminate the hill
during evening so it can be used night
and day. ..<,. 49,. ssts
There is a special place for coasting
with sleds, place for ski riding, and
a toboggan track. Skiing is the most
popular pastime, although the other
sports have their devotees. Tobog-
gaming is growing in popularity-this
being the first year this famous winter
sport has been tried here. The track
has an ice surface and iced walls hold
the toboggan in place. The speed de-
vefoped during the downward trip is
simply great.
Hundreds have availed themselves
Of the opportunity here provided for
invigorating outdoor sports, and it is
doubtful if interest will wane so long
as winter endures. This is one Of the
best moves started in Princeton, and
those behind it are deserving of every
encouragement. -s.
