HOUSE DYNAMHED
ON THE EAST SIDE
Front Wrecked But Not
One of Thirteen Persons
Inside Injured.

Thirteen persons might have been
killed in the dynamite explosion at the
home of John Feorene at ITO Market
street early this morning had THE
person who planted the explosive been
a little more thoughtful in determine
ing where he was to place the bomb.
The following were in the house
when the explosion occurred. Mr.. and
Mrs. John Feroene, Mr.. and Mrs. Am
brose Brandimarte. Miss Mary Zero.
rene, Miss Emily Ferorene Lena Fer
orene, Leoneld Brandemarte, Domi.
nick Brandimarte, Arcangelo Brandt
| marte, Paul Brandimarte, Pitro Le-
peck.
AS it was the thirteen persons who
were in the house at the time all es.
capped unframed The explosion oc-
cured about 1880 O'Clock this morn
ing when all Of the occupants OF the
house were in bed. Mrs. Feorene was
the only one of the thirteen who was
not sound asleep when the explosion
occurred.
The dynamite was thrown on the
porch Of the Feorene residence, blew
hole in the wall of the house, shat
tered the porch and damaged the cell
lar. The room nearest the porch is
the parlor and fortunately all OF the
! occupants of the house were either
! sleeping in the back of the house or
upstairs.
The explosion was heard almost all
over the city. Many East side citizens
as we'll as firemen from the East Side
fire station and Chief Watkins of the
Central station were soon on the!
scene. Every effort was made to get
some clue as to who had planted the
bomb. but an overshoe near the house
was the only thing which .coud be
found that looked anyway suspicious.
Mrs. Feorene stated today that
neither she nor her husband had any
idea as to who could have planted
the explosives. Mr.. Feorene has been
a prominent Italian merchant Of the
East Side for many years and is very
we'll known in and about Fairmont.

CIVIL PENSIONS
BILL APPROVED
House Gets Favorable Re,
port Today, and Early
Adoption Is Predicted.

Shake hands with Representative
Lehlbachl
The House committee on reform in
The Civil Service yesterday ordered
favorable report on the Lehlbach bill
for the retirement OF Federal en-
ployes fer age and disability.
The message carries the proposals
and amendments urged by the differ
snt associations of government en-
ployes and received the hearty in
1orsement of practically all officials
d Federal departments. from Cabi-
net officers to chiefs of divisions.
The report to accompany the bill
was drawn by Chairman Lehlbach
ast night. and will be presented to
The House today.
At recent hearings and sittings of
he committee. the scope of the bill
was broadened so 1t now includes
within its benefits superintendents of
national cemeteries. employees OF the
Panama Canal Zone and others.
Interviews had with numerous
members Of Congress indicate that
the measure will be passed some
time in the near future. Repre-
sentatives of both political parties
are impressed by the absolute
equity OF the bill. besides its fea-
ture as an efficiency measure in re-
firing from the public service those
who have become incapacitated by
reason OF age, illness or injury.
Many of this class Of faithful
employees have long been kept on
the pay rolls as pensioners. rather
than efficient workers The retire.
ment pay will be in the nature of a
reward for long and faithful serv-
Ice to the government.
Some of those who will become
beneficiaries Of the Lehlbach law.
and others who urged favorable
action on the bill, called at the Cap
itol yesterday afternoon to shake
hands with Representative Jehl-
bach and the other members of the
committee and thank them for
their service in the interest of good
government and humanity.

Advocates Of the repeal stated they
will urge the Senate to pass the sepa-
rate House bill providing for the re-
peal. This is the measure which pass
ed the House originally. In view OF
the Senate's overwhelming vote for
the repeal rider. 1t is believed the
separate bill could be passed with
ease II brought up.,
In making this further effort the
repeal advocates realize that the
President would veto the separate
measure. but they contend that in view
Of the difference between the rider and
the separate bill they would have a
better opportunity to pass 1t over the
Presidents veto.
The separate repeal bill which pass
ed the House merely repeals the third
section Of the original law which has
to do with the moving Of the clock
back and forward an hour. 1t leaves
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the power to regulate the time
zones.
