Pretty Kentucky Gnl's HoneymoonIs
Rudely Interrupted by Receipt of Bomb

To have their honeymoon rudely
interrupted by finding bomb con-
cealed in their mail was the thrill
ing experience of DR.. Charles Miles
McKinlay, Leoona, n. j., and his bride
of few weeks, who was Miss Mar
that Hume Ferguson, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Volney Ferguson, of Bour-
bon county, Kentucky.
The wedding of Miss Ferguson and
DR.. McKinlay was Solemnized in
Arcadia" the handsome country
home of the brides parents. 1t was
the most brilliant affair of the sea-
son, the bride being recognized as
one of the most beautiful young So
ciety girls in the Bluegrass, and the
groom a young physician of New
York, who had just returned from
France, where he won distinction and
promotion to captain.
After a honeymoon tour lasting
two weeks the young couple went to
their country home at Leona, N. Y.
guson, mother of the bride, sent
her daughter a birthday present con-
sisting of a fancy sweet grass"
basket. She mailed 1t at the Paris,
KY, postoffice and wrote her daugh-
ter of sending it.
Failing to receive it, Mrs. Mcin-
lay wrote her mother, who an
age contained. that it had cents
in postage on It, was light, and pos
sibly might have been crushed in
transportation.
A few days later Mrs. Mcinlay
received package at her home, but
instead of being light, it weighed
several pounds and had rs cents in
postage on it.
1t being sent about the time the

lay became suspicious, and notified
authorities, who took the package,
had it opened by, an expert and
found that it contained bomb, in
addition to the present. Governme

office since the attack upon Mr..
Hull.
Just before a second and unsuc-

rallied somewhat for the first time
since he was found lying beside his
desk, and it was. obvious to his fam

unteer hospital that he was seeking
to say something; but he lapsed
into a coma after a few minutes and
al operation, a few minutes after
one o'clock, without having been
able to tell who his assailants were.
1t was generally known in the
office that Mr.. Hull drew money for
the payroll on Friday afternoons,
Saturdays. The money was kept in
strong box which was found. un-
locked and empty, beside the ham
mer and lead bar with which Mr..
Hull was beaten. The police were
convinced at the outset that more

The finding of clearly impressed

in the attack proved of especial in

Mr.. Stacke induced Mr.. Hull to
make a place for him in the COM

criminal had to work before the por-

The fact that Mr.. Hulls scarfpin,

was left upon his person was eX-
planned by the police as the result
of interruption by the firms por-

door of the offices he saw the bat

and became so excited that he made
no effort to enter the doorway, but
ran down the halls to notify the
building superintendent. A window
leading to a fire escape was found
open after the crime and it is as
sumed that the slayers made their
escape either over the roofs or
across the yards while the. alarm
was being given.

Ambassador Fletcher. who is on tenn

judgment on Mexican affairs in the
absence of the president, but now
that Mr.. Wilson is back, it is natur-
al for them to seek guidance as to
the immediate future.
The house rules committee, in
cidentally, has summoned the Ameri-

about the whole Mexican situation

Repeatedly during the last month

change of policy on the part Of
WatchfuI waiting was said to have
given way to watchful preparedness.
This assumption grew out of the
prompt steps taken by the war de-
partment to prevent firing by villa
troops into American territory at III
Paso. The Mexican government
largely for domestic reasons made
representations concerning the pas
sage of American troops across the
line, but inasmuch as there was am
pie precedent for the action the pro-
test was not followed up or re-
newed.
New Border Policy
So far as raids on the border are
concerned. it is true that a new pol

matters to a head. The Washington
