Why Colds Are Dangerous y

You are often told to "beware of a
cold," but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for more
serious diseases. People who contract
pneumonia first take cold. The longer
a cold hangs on, the greater the dan
ger, especially from the germ diseases,
as a cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the germs
of consumption, diphtheria, scarlet
fever and whooping cough. The quick
er you get rid of your cold, the less the
danger of contracting one of these dis
eases. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has great reputation as cure for
colds and can be depended upon. 1t is
pleasant to take.

TOWER HILL SCHOOL
PLEASES HUNDREDS
ON INSPECTION DAY
Many Visited Building Yesterday
and Marveled at Its Com
pletenesS.
HIGH PRAISE GIVEN
THOSE RESPONSIBLE

Hundreds of persons, including promi-
nent business men and women and children
visited the new Tower Hill School. West
Seventeenth street nd Tower Road.
during the public inspection period from
5 o'clock until 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Each paid enthusiastic tribute TO
the modern and perfect educational
recreation for which progressive interests
are responsible. Visitors were received at
the door by trustees OF the institution and
DR.. Jonn ID. Skilton, heaelmaster. Bows
and girls acted rs ushers to show them
through the building.
1t is doubtful whether a greater en-
thusiasm In the perfections of the build
ing was revealed by the children or bv
their parents. Those responsible for the
work received sincere congratulations.
An impression that this new school is
q miracle of the builders and archi-
teetural art was confirmed to many
during the inspection.
The kindergarten proved a highly
interesting place for the younger children,
while the auditorium was also central
attraction, since its acoustic arrangements
are said to be almost perfect.

DR.. Charles II. Norris, chief medical es-

Amlner.
The authorities said that the finding a
these bits of evidence virtually dissipated
the theory held earlier by some officials
that the explosion might have been caused
by a collision with a wagon loaded with ex.
plosives. Examination of the wrecked
wagon revealed, according to the police,
that it was what is known as a rack
truck" and that it WAS unlikely that a
vehicle of this type would be used ia
transport powerful explosives. No permits
had been granted for carting explosives
yesterday.
These and other scattering reports
chiefly occupied the attention of William
J. Flynn, chief of the bureau Of invcstign-
ton of the Department of Justice, who
arrived early today from Washington To
take personal charge of the investigation
Work of repairing of the shattered
windows and twisted fixtures in the Stock

Company, the Subtreasury and various
nearby buildings began during the night
and close guard of police and soldiers
from Governors Island was kept through
out the district.
Mayor Hylan called n meeting of the
board Of estimate today to consider Q
proposal by him to offer a reward ol
$4,000 for the apprehension and CON
viction Of the person responsible Tor the
tragedy.
The various exchanges, which were
closed soon after the explosion announced
that they would reopen today.
Two reported warnings that the cx-
plosion was to occur figured IN the In
vestigation today.
One of these was letter received by
Lieutenant Arnaud Of the French High
Commission from man known TO have
boon former employe of the commission
who predicted, it WAS said, such an occur
renee and warned the commission to close
its office and send the employees home
yesterday.
The other was q letter received two days
ago by George ketchledge, an omplcye of
a brokerage house, from Edward Fischer
in Toronto, Canada, who warned against
remaining in Wall street after 3 O'Clock
on the fifteenth, and ended his missive
with good luck"
Efforts also were made today to ascer-
tain the approximate amount of bonds
and other negotiable securities said to
have been lost during yesterdays con-
fusion. Special detectives and officials Of
surety companies were eyortipg their ef-
forts to this end. il was reported the
amount of securities lost was expected TO
nun into several hundred thousand dollars.
Estimates of the property damage run
as high as 81, SOC, 900.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. IA man who
admits he is Edward Fischer and that he
recently was in Toronto, is detained at

RUMOR OF FRAUD N
RECENT REPUBLICAN
PRIMARY ELECTION
Investigation Being Made Of Re-
ported Irregularities in Some
Downtown Wards.
RESULT MAY BE MADE
KNOWN AT THE CANVASS

IT WAS learned today, on Republican
authority, that fraud is suspected of
having been committed at the Republi-
can primary election last SATURDAY.. II
WAS also learned that the report is being
investigated by sone Of the Republicans
interested
The runor has TO do with sorne of the
downtown districts. In one district. SC
cording to this rimor. the returns Indicate
more votes than are warranted by the
registration list. IL this is true, it is evident
that the names of shsentees and Dem
ocrats who had not voted at their pri-
maries were used by Others in the interest
of one or more candidates. In one down
town ward, it is said, the names of IS
registered Republicans have been secured
who declare that they did not participate
in the primaries, while the returns in
dicate that their names were voted ON.
The outcome of the investigation of this
report will probably determine whether
there are to be any contests.
The Republican County Committee
holds a meeting this afternoon for the
purpose of canvsssing the vote, and If
there is TO be a report on this investiga-
tion it is expected to be made then if the
parties interested have any thought of
following up the matter.
In view Of the closeness of the vote of
Walter S. Burris and Thomas s. Fouracre
tor county treasurer. in which the former
was returned as nominated, it was in
timated that Mr.. Fouracre might make a
contest if he believed there were ground.
for doing so. When he was last spoken to
on the subject by an Every Evening man
he had not decided what he would do. as
he was waiting ON some information.
