There was church, two blocks down.
How many miles in the air the spire
Of that church would sail when the
explosion took place it was hard to
estimate.
Other things would happen. The
force of the explosion might even
reach Mr.. Bowser's residence and
throw Mrs. Bowser down and stand
the cook on her head. The box must
be removed at whatever cost.
AS Mr.. Bowser stopped over to pick
it up. he might have murmured: "Now
1 lay me down to Sleep" but, at any
rate, he got the box and appeared
carrying 1t with the greatest care. He
crossed over to Mr.. Jones and received
the praise he deserved. Both Of them
took long smell Of the box. It GER
tainly smelled Of sulphuric acid, or
the stuff which makes hair dye give
out such a beautiful odor.
"Now for the police station" said
Mr.. Bowser, and they walked on.
The box was being held at arms
length, when they entered the station
and walked up to the sergeant's desk.
Mr.. Bowser was, Of course, spokes-
man. He was breathing very hard
when he said:
Sergeant, have found a bomb or
an internal machine, and I wish to
leave it with you'll"
The sergeant looked up in a careless
way and pointed to the captains room.
Mr.. Bowser and Mr.. Jones entered and
told their story. The captain hadn't
any questions to ask. He carelessly
felt for his pocket knife and cut the
string and removed the paper. Then
he pried up the lid of the box and
looked in. An overpowering odor
gushed out and he had to turn away
his head as he said:
"Say, you boobs. you ought to be
locked up for week for playing such
a trick"
"What is IT." asked Mr.. Bowser, as
he advanced and took a look for him

RAILROAD FINANCES
ARE CONSIDERED

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Railroad
finances were discussed at the White
House today by President Harding,
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon,
Secretary of Commerce Hoover and
Senator Cummins, of Iowa.
1t was understood that the cabi-
net officers and the senator took up
a plan of paying THE government
debt to the railroads, at the same
time allow the railroads to fund
their debt to the government so
that it could be paid over a series
of years.
Leaving the conference. Mr.. Hoover
said it was the aim to find plan
roads without any extra expense to
Senator Cummins expressed the
belief that the government debt
could be pand to the railroads with
out further legislation.

nounced that he favors payment of

ern states, took no exception to this
argument and Mr.. Linney will be
confirmed. In fact, the protesting
negroes, for whom Henry Lincoln
Johnson, of Georgia, was volunteer
attorney, withdrew their charges
against Mr.. Linney, saying he had
satisfied them that as district at
torney he would fairly enforce the
election laws.
To Make Clean Sweep
SO from Texas to Virginia, the
Harding administration and the Re-
publican national committee intend
to make a clean sweep of disturbing
colored politicians who have ridden
the G. o. P. for 50 many years in
the south. They will accord the ne
gro his voting rights. and q share
of patronage. Although it is not
the intention of President Harding
to appoint any negroes to jobs in
the southern states, but they will
not accord to the colored man a die
tation IN party affairs that he does
not claim nor attempt up north.
This program is understood here
to have been definitely fixed. It's
execution is now in progress, with
Georgia as the next scene for opera
tions. South Carolina and Florida
probably will be next. Publication

Monday put long staple cotton on the

and affect ony imports of Egyptian
or other cotton not comparable to the
ordinary commodity produced in the
sbuth.
Members were in doubt is to what
compensatory rates on all cotton
goods would be considered necessary
by reason of the imposition of tax
ON the raw product. There was no
explanation of the committees action
in deciding at the last moment not to
take the ordinary variety of cotton
such as is raised in the south from
the free list.
Oil went on the free list by
house vote of more than 2 to l.
Long staple cotton was transferred
from the free to the dutiable list
by a vote of 105 to IA, both parties
again being split. The duty would
apply only to cotton of one and one
eighth inch staple, although several
attempts were made to increase the
length of the staple and thereby re-
duce the amount of the commodity
coming under the protection. All
were defeated, however, by small
