LEGION may s
MEETING AT AVALON TUESDAY
NIGHT oFIMEN WHO WERE
IN THE SERVICE,
DELEGATE is TO BE CHOSEN
Christian County To Furnish One
And Davies. County Has
Elected One.
DELEGATE IS TO BE CHOSEN

The meeting of the American Le-
gion will be held in st. Louis May 8
$40. This bare announcement in
itself would mean nothing to the peo-
pie at large, for very few know what
the American Legion is, what its
purpose is or who composes it. But
when these questions are answered,
it becomes a living chain, which binds
every American home into closer un-
ion and greater brotherhood.
Its prime object in having an ex-
istence is to maintain the national
honor and to combat that under
ground encroachment against our
very national life--to combat the
great unrest which is spreading over
our country from across the seas.
At present the American Legion has
no definite being-it is but giant
propaganda. A propaganda by Amer
canism and uprightness.
Under the leadership of high Off
cials, some of whom are members of
the cabinet, and with the aid and ad-
vice Of the commanding officers of
the Army, Navy and the Marine
Corps, the idea of forming national
League of all the men and boys who
served our country in the world war
was inaugurated The name Gamer
lean Legion" was adopted and active
steps were taken to organize national
ly.
The crowning feature of the united
efforts of these men will be the great
convention held at st. Louis on May
g., 9 and 10, when an organization
will be perfected which shall have au
/ thority to act.
( Every district in every State il
( the Union is organizing. Delegate
are being chosen from among the re
turned fighters to represent their peo
pie in the Convention. Accordingly
meeting of every man in Christian
couty, who served in the Army, Ma
wy, Marine Corps and Aviation Corps
is called for Tuesday night at 7:3(
o'clock. Every soldier, sailor ant
airman in our county should be pres
ent to select one delegate to the Ma
tional Convention, which is to create
I union which shall bind all thos'
who followed the flag in our creates
crisis, more Ely together for tn
welfare of our Atate and Country.

DEFEAT OF BOMB PLOT WAS
BLOW TO MAY day CONSPIRACY
RIOTING IN CLEVELAND, CHICAGO AND
NEW YORK WAS MARKED WITH COM
PARATIVE LITTLE BLOODSHED

New York, May 2.-Comparatively
little bloodshed marked radical cele-
brations of international Labor Day
in the United Staes.
The most serious rioting occurred
in Cleveland where one man was
killed and more than 100 persons,
including II policemen, were injur-
ed.
Next in. Importance was battle
between the police and paraders in
Boston during which four persons
were shot and many arrests made.
A riot call was sounded in Chica-
go when radicals attempted to hold
a parade which had been forbidden.

TRENTON TO
BUILD SCHOOL
Costing $4,000 By Private and Vol
uh+Srt spb.eription. 5000
Already Paid.

The people of Trenton started out
a few days ago to raise $25,00O for
new public school building by pri-
vate subscriptions and up to yester-
day had raised $4,000. Judge M. M.
Graves, who was in the city yester-
day, said there was no doubt that
the full amount would be subscribed,
as the people of Trenton were deter
mined to have a modern and up-to-
date school building.
The method of building is without
bonds or taxation is without pre-
cedent among the small towns of the
state, but Trenton is only small in
population.

WHOLESALE MAILING OF
INTERNAL MACHINES

Washington, May 2.-Belief was
expressed by postmaster officials
that most, if not all of the bombs
mailed from New York as part of
an anarchist May-day, plot against
the lives of public men had, been
found.
Checking of reports from the pos
tai inspectors in various parts of the
country, showed only one internal
machine, addressed--te Senator Lee
S. Overman of South Carolina, got
through the past "a hours although
press dispatches said two bombs, ad-.
dressed to Senator William H. King,
of Utah and Frank X. Nebeker, an
attorney, had been intercepted in Salt
Lake City postoffice. The Depart
ment had received no report from
Salt Lake City. Two more of the in
fernal machines had been sent to the
Gimbel Brothers store, New York,
for lack of postage.
The alertness. of postal clerks at
Salisbury, N c., Senator Overman's
home town, prevented the delivery
of the machine to the senator. The
motive was thought to be the fact
that as chairman of the senate com
mittee investigating anti-American
activities and disloyal propaganda,
Senator Overman had won the enmity
of the radical element,
AS acting chairman of the judici-
airy committee of the senate Senator
Overman had charge of Espionage
act and many other measures dealing
with law enforcement during the war.
He also is chairman of special SEN
ate committee investigating prO-Ger-
man and other radical propaganda.
Unusual precautions were taken in
Washington to protect cabinet mem
bers and court officials from bomb
attacks. There were similar pre-
cautions in other cities and mean
while the entire postal service was
working and watching to pick up
stray internal machines, lying about
like so many floating mines, but ap-
parently dangerous only to those per-
sons with curiosity enough to break
the seals.
Reports from inspectors at New
York and Atlanta gave no informa-
ton not already revealed in press
dispatches.
All divisional inspectors, it was
stated, had been instructed to for
ward prompt reports of bomb finds
and while some may have been delay
ed, there was a more hopeful feel
ing that the danger was over and
that any bombs still in the mails
would be intercepted.
One of the first things Postmaster
General Burleson did was to write.
Postmaster Patten of New York,
suggesting that suitable action be
taken to reward Charles Kaplan, a
postoffice clerk, whose quick judg-
ment and good sense resulted in the
discovery of sixteen bombs.
The police today received infOr-
nation from the naval intelligence
office that the bombs sent in the
mails to prominent persons, showed
a startling resemblance in operation
and principle to the type of german
mines found by the navy off the
coast.
! Agents of the department of JUS
tice expressed their belief that the
internal machines were of German
origin and possibly imported from
Germany. They said the anarchists
in this country could not obtain the
illuminate of mercury used in the
bombs.
