DYNAMITE UNDER TRACK
Quantity Found in Outskirts Of
Lawrence.

Lawrence, Mass, May ia quan
tity of dynamite buried in the dirt
with fuses laid across the street car
tracks, was found by the police near
Cooks Corner, Methuen, early today
Cars from Haverhill with workers for
the textile mills here, where a strike
has been in progress for more than
three months, pass over the Cooks
Corner route and the first car was
due short time after the discovery
OF the explosive
A few hours previously work car,
carrying only the motorman and con-
ductor, was wrecked by an explosion
in another section of Methuen. This
led the police to examine the tracks
throughout the city, with the result
that dynamite was found near Cook
Corner. The work car was running
extra and It is thought that the ex-
plosive, which is set off, had been
placed in position after the last regu-
lar car had passed for the purpose of
blowing up an early car loaded with
operatives on the way to the mills.

Helen Hewitt of Granville, N. Y.
both sophomores at Vassar College
and Lucy Hale of Martinez, Cal, a
junior, were injured today in a labora
tory explosion, which occurred during
an experiment in devaporizing ether
Ten other girls suffered flesh wounds
which we're not serious. No cause
was known for the explosion other
than a possible imperfection in the
glass, for the same test had been
made before, with no bad results
No blame attaches to the physics de
partment nor was there any careless
ness among the students.
The three injured girls were taker
at once to Vassar Brothers hospita
where special treatment is being civ
en- them in an effort to save theil

WOMEN VOTERS GO TO SCHOOL
Members Of Local League Listen to
Lectures on Political Parties.

Lectures on Political Parties.
The Political PARTIES" was the sub
ject OF the programme at the Won
en- Voters League meeting Frida,
evening.
The members Of the League wan,
to be able to vote with an intelligenl
understanding rather than from the
precedent established by their
fathers.
The principles of the G. O. p. were
presented by Robert Il. Healy. Mr.
Healy not only spoke OF Republican
history but of the future, especially
as related TO the 1920 campaign.
Irving Cobb spoke for the Demo.
cratic Party Perhaps because Mr.
Cobb is an Independent voter. he
could see the good points of the ad.
ministration. in a clearer and more
unbiased fashion, than IL he were real
ly Democrat
Mrs. Arthur Elliot read the plat
form of the Socialists as set forth In
"The Woman Citizen. They seem
to embody all the good of all the par
ties and then some.
Rev. George S. Nils spoke from the
Independent voters standpoint; the
one who votes for principle rather
than for a party
More and more this seems to be
the trend OF both National and State
politics.
AS a people, We Americans have an
ideal, and we are working toward the
realization of that ideal.

AUSTRIAN TREATY
1t viii Provide for Trial OF Military
Offenders.

Paris, May 13.--In the Austrian
peace treaty, now well toward compile
tion, the responsibility clause has
been inserted identical with that in
the German treaty, except the omis-
sion first clause providing for the
trial of the former German Emperor
The remaining clause makes provis
ion for the trial by international court
martial of military offenders.
Frontier delimitation of new Aus
tria presents one serious question
somewhat similar to that of the Sarre
Valley in German treaty. This is as
regards lower Tyrol, a section of
which is detached from Austria and
placed within the boundaries of Italy.
It includes the cities of Bozen and
Meran and the estimated German
population is a quarter million.
The reason for attaching this Ger
man-speaking population to Italy Is
the establishment of strategic from
tier giving Italy adequate protection
against invasion from the north.

sage that the machine had settled on

was heading for 1t. Four hours later
the steamer sent word that she was
much off her course and regretted she
