BOMB UNDER

sisted the police in their investigation.
II am grateful that the affair was 0
more serious" he said. The reason
for the crime Is a complete mystery
to me. as / have received no threaten
ing letters OF any kind. Personally l
believe the bomb was thrown from the
alley-way at the rear OF the house,
after the Waterman had passed the
point of explosion on his rounds"
Police, however, do not agree with
this theory. They believe the bomb
was of clock work variety and was
timed to explode shortly after mid
night. They believe more than a doz-
en- sticks Of dynamite were in the
bomb.
Tho explosion shattered windows In
the house and in residences for several
blocks around, breaking bric-a-Dac
and dishes. but did no other general
damage.
Had the force Of the explosion gone
toward the front OF the mansion, n
governor and his wife would undo1lpt-
eddy have been killed and the build
ing completely wrecked. AS 1t
however, the main force went across
the alley at the rear Of the building.
The windows Of the governors bed
room were entirely blown out.
c. Q. c. Gang Suspected.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Dec. Is
That members OF the so-called 20. Q.
c." gang were responsible for the at
tempt to dynamite the governors
mansion at Sacramento. was the opin-
ion, expressed by postofnce officials
here today. Members OF the same
gang are believed to have sent Sena-
tor johnson, while he was governor,
letters threatening his life in a man
ner similar to the attempt on Cover
nor Stephens early today. These let
ters are now in the bonds OF hand
writing experts and they " said TO
contain finger prints.
Persons interested IN the defense OF
Thomas Mooney end other defendants
in the Sam FranodRco preparedness

belief today that the Sacramento dyna-,
miters may have been responsible for
the San francisco crime. The effect

Experts for some time have been ex-
amining the handwriting in myster-
GUS threatening notes and cards cir
culated in San Francisco a few days
before the preparedness parade explo-
sion in an effort to get a ciew to the
identity OF the writers. These sam
pies Of handwriting have been com
pared with those contained in the
threatening letters Governor Johnson
received and there is said to be a
similarity.

FARTHEST NORTH BY RAIL

"a railroad farthest north, tapping
the polar seas beyond Archangel, its
whole length running through a re-
gion of intense winter cold, is one Of
the most important constructive re-
suits of this destructive worldwar"
says statement just prepared by the
National Geographic Society at Wash
ington. Stimulated by an impera-
tive war necessity for a port nearer
the West and the long battle lines
than Vladivostock, this new railway
has been driven north with the same
fierce energy as that called forth by
the dash for enemy positions.
"Finns, Lapps, Russians, alike,
have labored unremittingly to fasten
permanent way of steel beyond Pc
trograd and Semenowa, the latter
city far beyond the arctic circle, on
the northern shore of Finland, near
Norwegian Nord Kap. Work upon the
new line began a few months after
the outbreak of the war, and it has
been pushed feverishly as a means
of over-reaching the blockade by land
and sea that isolates Russia in the
West.
"The undertaking required the
building of more than $50 miles or
railroad through an unfavorable coun-
try, in many places water-soaked,
crossed by low-banked rivers, filled
with countless lakes, large and small,
and, through great part of the. year.
frozen numb and buried under feet of
snow. Construction has gone for
ward from the North and South, but
there still remains a considerable
middle section to be laid before the
completion of the project.
"The arctic railroad runs East from
Petrograd around Lake Ladoga, where
it turns poleward and whence it holds
a northern course until it reaches the
harbor at its terminus upon the polar
sea. Here on the bleak Murman
coast, deadened by months of cold
and cheered by a Driefest summer,
an up-to-date harbor city is being
built and the works of great north
ernmost naval base are rapidly being
carried forward. Semenowa, Kola and |
Alexandrowsk--places that the world
has never thought to remember before
are now enjoying an arctic war
boom.
"Seemnowa was a small collection
Of fishermen's huts before the war
too far out of the world
even to form part of it. Today,
arge docks, harbor improvements,
and splendidly improvised future
las surprised the place. Semenowa
.omorrow seems in the way of be-
,oming thriving, much-mentioned
)ort city.

DIED OF DIABETES

S. L. Moore, better known as "Boz''
by his many friends throughout this
section of Missouri, died at his home
in st. Louis last Friday, March 30th,
of diabetes. His wife and two sons
survive him. His remains were laid
to rest at Perryville Sunday, where
the last sad rites were attended by a
large number of sorrowing friends.
Perhaps no one had larger num-
ber of friends throughout this south
east land than did BOZ" Moore. His
friends were numbered by his ac-
quaintances, and practically everyone
knew him. Pennington was his home
for several years, and particularly in
this section of the country was he
best known-and loved. He had
winning personality that made friends
for him wherever ne went, and his
beaming countenance will be missed
by the many whom he has for so
many years been in the habit of greet
ing in such whole-hcarted manner.
May eternal peace be with him.

night for, everybody who wants to
hear a program that is interesting

School tonight and share the treat.
An interesting and instructive pro-
gram is being made up for the next

nounced from the, platform tonight if
possible. This will probably be some
thing quite different from any of the
programs given so far this year.
