Thirty-six people handed in. or
 mailed identifications of the sil-
 houette that the Herald published
 last evening and. for the first time in
 bur contest. every interpretation of
 the profile was correct. Guess We
 went too fur in our description of
 the man. Also, for the first time,
 there were three correct guesscs in
 at the same time. 3:5l p. m.
 The silhouette was that of E. Mesh
 ken, Main street furrier. The winner
 we'll tell you how we selected him
 first. The slips of paper with the
 same time on them were simply thrown into the air with one hand and the slip of paper that hit the floor first was chosen. The winner of this aerial flight was R. Neri of 266 East Main street. who will be given the dollar. Those who tied with him. on time. were Roy Cederval and Isadore Kopiowitz. Both of the latter had simply MT. Meshken. The Furrier." written on the slips. while R. Neri had MT. Edward Meshken. The Fur rier." on his. Guess the extra amount Of lead pencil marking gave the add ed weight which hastened the Neri slip to the floor.
 Others who were correct in the contest were, Sadie Feingold, Flor ence Cooley. Mary Callahan. Hamil- ton Darrow. NJ. r. Leghorn. Mrs William Rickert, J. Finkelstein. May O'Deii, Thomas Duffy, Newton Tuck CT. Amos Jones. Leslie Hartung. Harry Turner. Bessie Horenstein. James Hewett, R. Risbard. Sylvia Clark, Raymond Hinchliffe. Walter Dres- sel John Cianci. M. E.. Kennedy. Clifton Andrews. William Began. Lester Kilduff. G. A. Porter. Matthias Rival. Harold 'Kolodney. Howard Carroll. R. l.. Clarke. Mrs. Farmer. Rita Crowley. l.. R. Harmon. Ger ald Niles and Maud 4. Colbrook.
 Tonight, as we announced ycster- day. is Ladies' Night. when the guesses of the ladies only will be unless there are none of them right. when mere man will get the dollar. We are presenting, again. the picture of a man who is represented by the ads on one of the Coupon Pages" In tonight's paper. We are not going to tell any more about him because we do not want to give 1t away. The guesses really came in too early last evening to suit us.
 Who Is the above? Know Him? Put your guess on paper and send it into the Herald. with your own name and address. dollar will be award cd for the first correct suss.

WOMEN LEAVE BOMB
 IN PAPER OFFICE
Spanish Fair Sex Have Such
 Queer Ideas

Lisbon. Feb. 16.-Two women who left handbag containing siE dyna- mite bombs in the office of the royal ist newspaper Monarchia just before that office was raided by the police the other day have been arrested. Their apprehension tends to clear up a mystery connected with the case.
 It is learned that the police raid was made because they had discov- cred the delivery of the bombs but the editor of the newspaper asserts that the women who brought tho bombs to the office in his absence were absolutely unknown to him. He declared that the whole affair was a trap to compromise the faction of royalists represented by the Mon archia, and denied that the party was preparing for any armed conspiracy at this moment, as such an act, he said, would only delay the suicide of the present regime"
 The police have discovered that one of the women who carried the bomb to the office of the Monarchia did so at the request of her husband, a man who was in prison for implication in some past royalist uprisings, and who died last week while still a prisoner. Just before his death, his wife said, he told her to take nanODaS WHICH had been for a long time in their house to the newspaper office and give it to one of the editors, Lieuten- ant Luiz Chaves. She declares that she obeyed her husbands request without any knowledge of the bags contents.
 The police followed her to the newspaper office, found the bombs. closed and sealed the office and made several arrests.
 Lieutenant Chaves could not be found.
 The hundreds of roya1ists who are loyal to the former King Manuel and who have been in prison for more than two years since the last royalist rising are in despair ovd r this affair, which they believe will postpone in definitely the amnesty to political prisoners which they have long been promised For several nights follow ing the raid on the Monarchia, san guinary conflicts took place in some of the principal Lisbon cafes between bands of armed defenders of the Portuguese republic and people ous- pected of being members of the In tegra1ista faction of royalists. This faction does not recognize former King Manuel as it's head but supports Don Nuno Duarte, boy of 12 years.

DECISION EXPECTED
 IN HOWAT'S TRIAL
Kansas Mine Union Officials, Charged With Contempt of Court, May Know Fate Soon.

Pittsburg, Kas.. Feb. 16.-Dist. Judge A. J. Curran today was expect ed to decide the guilt or innocence of Alexander Howat and five other Kansas mine workers officers accused of contempt of court in calling a strike of miners.
 In addition, Judge Curran will hear. the cases of three union officers from Croweburg, whose local union assessed a fine against two fire bosses, who when discharged took their case to the Kansas court of industrial relations. In an injunction issued last Septem- Der. Judge Curran prohibited the fining of union members for going before the industrial court.
 Howat attacked the court of indus trial relations and Governor Allen at a mass meeting of his followers in a park here last night.
 They can put me in jail," he said, but if l understand the purpose of the law it is to stop strikes not to put men in jail. The industrial court never will see the day in the history of Kansas when it can stop strikes. If the indus trial court can stop strikes, why the need of injunctions?'
