Man Blown to Atoms.

Washington, June 3.-American radi-
Gals have launched another bomb plot

who have been active in their prose-
cution %G4tH&
A bomb explosion which damaged
the residence of Attorney General
Mitchell Palmer in the fashionable
northwest section of Washington, but
which apparently resulted only In the
death of the bomb planter, was fol-
lowed at brief intervals by similar
explosions in seven other cities in 4
belt extending from Cleveland to Bos-
ton 4 - ~. A.a"st' ~
The bombs intended by anarchists
for men who had directed the force OF
law against them, pronounced sentence
against radicals, or introduced legtsla-
ton intended to check their mach1nat
tions, failed in every case to claim
their victims. In several cases, how
ever, families Of public officials and
the public officials themselves expert
enced narrow escapes.

sions reached by the police. In some
instances innocent pedestrians were
injured more. or less seriously. ,.s
: Department of Justice agents and
police of the various cities began ct

prits. One man thought to be the
person who planted the bomb at the
Palmer home was blown to bits by the
force Of the explosion. Police believe
the bomb exploded prematurely before
it could be placed under the house.
The bomb, the police said. was con-
tanned in q suit case filled with cloth

Chancellor Says Country Reeog-
mixes Its Responsibilities.

St. German, June 3.-The Austrian
delegation received the peace treaty
at 1879 p. M, with the Adriatic claims
problem of Italy unsolved.
The meeting did not convene until
1925 p. m. owing to the late arrival
Of President Wilson. He was. the last
of the delegates to reach the chateau,
entering the hall at 12:14; punctured
tire on his automobile had held him
upon the way.
Fifteen-0ay Leeway Allowed.
Premier Clemenceau, in his instruc.
tions to the Austrian delegates, in
formed them that no oral discussions
would be allowed and that all written
observations must be submitted within
a maximum period Of Is days. Il"
The document was reported to be a
mere skeleton of the treaty, with finan-
cial economic PREPARATIONS. military
and boundary clauses, either wholly
or partially lacking. The complete
sections consist principally of political
and territorial clauses, together with
the league of nations covenant, which
is identical with that in the German
treaty, according to advance informa-
ton.
Boundaries to Be Fixed Later.
While the treaty indicates generally
the territory which Austria loses, the
precise boundaries will be fixed later
either by the Allies or a mixed COM
mission. It provides that Austria shall
retain the northern boundary she had
in 1914, with the Czecho-slovak boun-
daries in the northwest, while on the
south she will be assigned the boun-
daries fixed under the treaties of 1916.
except the regions of Marburg and
Klagenfurt, the allegiance of which
will be determined by plebiscites. The
treaty holds that the recent plebiscite
in Voralberg, where the population
voted to join Switzerland, is invalid
and provides that Voralberg shall re-
main with Austria and pay her portion
Of the Austrian war debts and indem'
nifty. - &
Clemenceau finished speaking at
1929. CHS speech was then trans.
lated into English, Italian and German
and the treaty was presented to the
Austrains at 12:39.)
Chancellor Renner arose and replied
in French. While he was speaking a
glass case containing relics Of the
Stone Age (the chateau is used as q
national museum) burst and interrupt.
ed him momentarily.
Recognize Own Responsibilities.
1--WE trust in your sense Of justice
and practical spirit not to demand that
we be crushed" said Renner. 1--WE
are disposed to recognize our own re-
sponslbilities and accept our share in
proportion with the other great powers.
"Our revolution was pacific and with.
out military action. 1t was simply a
social revolution, as peaceable and
reasonable as possible, and We will
not depart \from that line of conduct
and policy il you give US the peace Of
justice and democracy necessary for
our economic existence"
The Austrian delegates appeared in
morning dress, while most of the Al.
lied representatives wore business
suits. Mrs. Diaz, wife Of the Italian
general, was the only woman present.

Each OF the ten states included in
the Southwestern States division has
introduced gardening as a required
subject in the curriculum Of the
schools Of the state. This has been
done by the formal action of the
State Department Of Education. Most
of the larger cities and many Of the
smaller ones have introduced garden
ing In the fourth, fifth and sixth
grades and are giving credits for the
work, just as is done In other. subjects,

larger cities have paid supervisors,
and assistants, and In instances where
the finances Of the city boards Of edu-
cation has not permitted of an apro-
priation, many teachers have volun-
teered to supervise the work.
A large percentage Of the popuia-

Arkansas has an enrolment OF 12,
1896 students in the army today and

the work. Kansas has 1871 enrolled
with 344 supervisors. Louisiana, which
IS a distinctly agricultural state has
an enrolment of 40,512 garden work

Tennessee and Kentucky are the
most eastern states in this section
and they have been a little slow in
getting garden work started but at
present Kentucky has some $4,000
young gardeners, Tennessee about
$4,000 and both OF these states will
be making larger 4eturns within the
next few weeks.
Oklahoma reports approximately
10000 young gardeners, with 1888 cit
les actively engaged In school super

ports 100000 with 1873 cities doing this
