is 14.4 feet lower than has been re-
qulred in the past.

Major Ward, the bridge would be 49,

feet above the mean June high water
The chief of engineers is willing to re.
commend a minimum clearance Of
81 1-2 feet above the extreme high
water of the navigation season, or 35. 4
above the mean June high water, pro
vided that the needs Of navigation as
presented at the hearing do not show
a necessity for greater vertical clear.
ance.
This clearance is based on the
opinion Of the secretary Of war, dated

it is held that "boats suitable for use
on the Allegheny river need a clearance

Head of General Bomb Plot
The man held in connection
with the Palmer bomb plot is be-
lieved, it is said, to have been the
manufacturer of the 36 bombs
sent through the mails in boxes
wrapped in paper from the Gim-
bel Bros. department store in
New York and timed to: reach
their intended victims on May i.
The peculiar style Of manufac-
ture with the ingenious contriv-
ance Of the explosive has linked
them unmistakably with a base
ment radical factory raided at
Gary by the federal troops, it is
said. 5
Since the 1900 soldiers of the
Fourth and Sixth divisions took
control Of Gary, Investigations
have been shrouded in secrecy.
There have been many arrests
made and a strong stockade was
built to keep the prisoners.

legged bomb maker are held in
connection with the nationwide
plot has not been revealed by the
federal authorities, civil or mill
tary.
Revelations of the arrest Of

terrorists' plot followed the find
ing on a striker at Gary yester-
day of four copies of a handbill
purporting to be a proclamation
of the communist party Of Amer
lea advocating overthrow of the
