The package bearing the typewrit-
| ten address Senator Thomas w.
Hardwick, Sandersvile. Ga" wrapped
bearing a return address of "Gimbel
Bros, Thirty-second and Broadway,
New York. 1t was the word sam
pie" that caused Mrs. Hardwick to
think it was some merchandise and
to have opened it in her husband
absence.
After leaving the United States SEN
ate NJ. Hardwick came to Atlanta and
engaged in law practice. On leaving
his home at Sandersville he did not
know what his office address would
be so gave the postmaster the number
of the apartment he had taken here.
For that reason the package was not
sent to his office, but to his home.
Untying ExplOdes.
Police described the Internal ma
chine as being composed of piece
of wood about six inches long, three
inches wide and probably an inch
thick A hole had been made in the
wood, and the acid container, which
they believe was glass, was placed in
this. 1t was so arranged, they said,
that untying the wrapper loosened a
soil spring, which allowed the larger
quantity of acid to come in contact
with some other acid and the explos-
ion followed. The piece of wood and
pieces of the wrapper were found.
The wood was burned black in places.
The small metal slugs appeared to
have been wrapped around wood
Attention was called to the fact that
an Internal machine received yester-
day through the mails at the Office Of
Mayor Ole Hanson in Seattle, Wash,
also came from New York and bore
the return address of Novelty De-
partment, Gimbel Brothers, New York
City"
The police were inclined to connect
the two attempts to destroy life and
said that the wrappers of New
York firm were used to avert any pos
sible suspicion before opening the
packages. The bomb sent to Seattle
did not explode.

Iron Starts Fire
in Hotel Laundry

What might have been a serious fire
in the Windsor Hotel was averted late
last night by the presence of mind of
city fireman who, sitting, in front Of
the fire station near midnight, saw a
blaze in the laundry room on the top
floor of the hotel building He tele-
phoned Manager Rogers, who made an
investigation and found that an cleo
trio iron had been left heated on the
ironing board by a careless employee,
had burned hole through the board
and dropped to the floor, where it had
started flame. A bucket of water
and the turn of an electric switch
ended the danger, without the fire

WAR POLICIES
ARESTILL GOOD,
SAYS OFFICIAL

| WASHINGTON, April 30.-New life
insurance policies, into which term in
surance carried by soldiers and sailors
may be converted will be ready for
issuance about June 1, Director Lind
sey of the war risk insurance bureau
announced Applications for CONVEX
sion are being received now, but no
intesive campaign to promote CONVEX
sions will be made in order not to
over tax the insurance bureau with
rush of conversion applications, and
to encourage discharged soldiers to
make the conversion in amounts and
at times when they are financially
able. Efforts will be made however, to
have soldiers keep in force their term
insurance.
In this connection it is announced
that the bureau will not consider in
surance policies carried by soldiers
during the war as lapsed, even though
after discharge a man may have ceas-
ed payment or even notified the bu
reau that he wished to cancel the in
surance, until ample time has been
given for explanation and reinstate-
ment. Every discharged soldier, who
has ceased to keep up payments, will
be notified that he may again put his
insurance in force by payment of back
installments within a certain time,
possibly six months.
Insurance awards by the war risk
bureau far exceed premiums paid in.
Death awards amounting to more

made and are being paid to the bene-
ficiaries in monthly instalments. The
bureau has made 139 awards, with a
committed value of $S04,500, for total
permanent disability of insured men.
Death awards for insurance have
been made on S7,744 claims, affecting
102,286 beneficiaries. In many instanc-
es the monthly insurance payments
are divided among several beneficiar-
les and in some instances single pay
monts are divided among as many as
ten beneficiaries.
Under the provisions of the War
Risk Insurance act. which provides
compensation for dependents in case
Of death exclusive of whether or not
the man service held insurance, there
have been made 1926 awards with
monthly payments of $458, 1000. Com
pensation for disability is paid to
more than 1875 beneficaries. These
awards carry monthly payments of
$411,O00.
There have been $500 claims for
insurance awards for death filed with
the bureau. Only 1904 claims have
been disallowed and in many cases the
disc llowance is not final.
