There is quite a discrepancy between the national census bureau estimate of the number of young men registered under the selective service Jaw and the number who actually registered in Rhode Island The state delegation in congress does not believe there is any consideraif@ nun per of delinauents in the state. According to the census department the registration in the state was 12 ier cent. below the official esti- mate. However, the department does not take the position that the report indicates wilful neglect of duty. On the contrary, the department officials state that the census bureau figures are only estimates based on the popu- ]ation of 1910. Some states have reg istered considerably above the census bureaus advance estimate.

During the first hour of Tuesday the residents of Oak street, near Merriam street, were disturbed, and Pasduale Shannieo and family, who occupied the building at the corner of the streets named, were very much Frightened by a loud explosion. followed by the shat tering of glass and the falling of plas- tering in the house, a front room Of which is utilized as notion store. The .connnotion was due to the explosion of a bomb which had been placed on the veranda and which tore hole into the side of the house, smashed the windows and broke away portion of the yeranda. No one was injured. It is evident that the bomb was fired by someone seeking revenge against Pas auale Shannico or Joseph Gabrielle, the owner of the building
 Several hours after the explosion the fact was reported to Chief of Police Brown The bomb, or whatever it was, must have had a light casing, as no fragments could be found, and the slight damage indicates that the ex- piosive was not closely confined. As the explosive spread, rather than pene- trating downward, there is doubt whether a stick of dynamite was used. so the nature of the explosive used is not definitely known. This is the fourth exp osion of this character in Westerly in the past two years.
