BOMB IN AUDITORIUM
 THEATRE AT CHICAGO
Found by Bremen Who Were Called
 to Put Out Blaze.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-A bomb made of gaspipe and powder was picked up tonight on the main floor of the Audi torium theatre, where the opera ''DinoraIl'' was being sung after an incipient panic which followed an un- explained burst of flame had been stilIed by Director Campanini swing ing the orchestra into The Star Span gled Banner. The bomb was found by f1remen seeking the cause of the first flame. It consisted of a foot of gas pipe filled with powder and with a fuse attached.
 The fremen finally concluded that the flames which caused the first fright had been connected in some way with the bomb, which also 9nit- ted noxious odorss It was found near the close of the first act while Gal1i- curci was singing a Breton folk song. Nearly one-third of the patrons left their seats.
 Gallicurci led fin the singing of the national anthem, the patrons joining until repose was restored.
 Most of the uneasiness was felt on the first floor. The patrons of the boxes were too far away to be in cluded in the rush to the doors, but the excitement spread to the stage and it was some time before order was estab- Iished
 A woman who was sitting near where the bomb was found said she remembered stumbling against some object as she passed to her chair. It is believed the bomb contained some mechanism that caused 1t to burst into flames when moved slightly.

Vand,t ,t'Iip, New York banker and chairman of the governments war burg, vice governor of the federal re- serve board, called by the interstate commerce commission today as expert witnesses in the 15 per cent. advance case, testified that radical action was nece,Mary to remedy the railroad finanual situation.
 MT. VanderIip was of the opinion that the proposed rate increases only touched the surface of the situation, while MT. Warburg declared that should it be granted it's effect from psychological standpoint in restoring confidence among investors would be a greater advantage than the immeG- ate monetary gain it might mean to the roads.
 One of two things must be done to meet the situation, either the govern ment must acquire ownership or some action must be taken to restore conf dence in their securities, said MT. Vanderlip. Granting the increase the roads request. he insisted would act only as a pou1tice and not effect a real cure.
 In their arguments for the increase MT. sVanderlip said railroad men them selves failed to see below the surface and view what he believed to be force the two regulatory principles prevention of combination and fixir& of rates, to work smoothly together.
 Either one may be all right, but not both together" he declared. "As long as rates are regulated the railroads should have the right to form combi- nations."
