Green Bay, Wis. Investigation was
started by police today to determine
the origin of bomb which was set off
in the Congregational church here
last night during a speech being de-
livered by Lewis R. Horton, Spokane,
Wash, prohibition worker.
The bomb, made from gunpowder
and loosely packed in a small box, ex-
ploded as it was being carried from
the building by E. C. Walker. Mr..
Walkers arm was severely burned to
the shoulder. About five hundred
people who had congregated to hear
an address by William E. (Pussyfoot)
johnson, internationally known pro-
hibition worker, remained seated al
though about ten persons ran from the
church and one woman tainted during
the excitement. Her companion car
ried her from the building before her
name could be learned.
According to eye witnesses, the ex-
plosion was not very loud. Abuse at
tached to the bomb is believed to have
set fire to Mr.. Walkers clothes, which
then set off the bomb. A red flag rose
from the bomb.
Following the explosion, Mr.. John
son delivered his address in which he
said that foreign cquntriefs. were look-
ING 70 1he omitted States as Naf1isg
star in the worldwide prohibition cam
paign. If the United States failed, he
continued, the world will be set back
100 years in the cause of prohibition.
Mr.. Johnson made no reference to
the mountaineering incident.

ANSWERS

ANSWERS:
G. Yonts, 658 Prairie ayenue-I have
never heard the old man talk on his
theory, but think that he would have
a mighty hard time convincing
me that the earth is anything but
round. He may have Convinced about
1900 people but they're lot different
than / am.
Thomas Kennedy, 61O Pearl street,
drug clerk-I don't think that the
earth is fiat and don't think that
Voliva can "stand up against all the
textbooks and all the scientists and
hold his argument against them. |
guess the only reason no one answers
Voliva's arguments is because there
isn't any use.
Carl Nelson, 623 Racine avenue, stu
dent-Voliva processes to have ex-
ploded good many theories in declar-
ing that the earth is only 80 miles
away and declaring lot of other
things. I'm afraid that he is hope
lessly in the minority and when others
line up to his way of thinking per-
haps it would deserve more thought
from the outside world.
Forest Dominick, 26S Maiden Lane,
mechanic I've read lot of Voliva
in the papers but no one. seems to take
him seriously except the people in his
own home town. don't think the
earth is fiat, in fact | believe it is
round. Columbus and believe the
same.

CONFERENCE TRIES
TO PACIFY IRELAND
Hope Held Out That Conference in

for Ireland.

London. - London today again be-
came the center of interest in the eff
forts to pacify Ireland with the open
ing of conference called by the i'm
perial government to consider the sit
uation growing out of the recent dis
orders.
The meeting was under the presi-
dency of the secretary for colonies,
Winston Spencer Churchill. Five
members of the Ulster government
and four southern ministers are at
tending.
At the conclusion Of this afternoons
session of the conference on the situa-
ton in Ireland, Arthur Griffith, presi-
dent of the Dali Eireann informed the
newspaper correspondents that the
southern delegates would meet Sir
James Craig, premier of Ulster, and
his colleagues at II o'clock tomorrow
morning.

fact that Kenosha was never as bailv
hit as some of the other cities but that
despite this he was agreeably surprised
by the almost complete recovery which
has been made by the local industries.
Other inspectors bear out his state
ments.
Praise for Nash Plant.
In the course Of my visits / inspect
great number of automobile fac
tories" declared one inspector who
has not confined his work to the Bad
ger state. 81 can frankly say have
found none as busy as the Nash Mo-
tors Company of Kenosha."
Reports from other cities, however.
indicate that the improvement is be-
coming more general and although in
some cases the gain is small, it is suf-
ficient to give an encouraging aspect to
the general situation.
March Is Banner Month.
From the standpoint of improved
conditions in industry, March has thus
fer heeu the hanne7 fnoa til for Keno
sltassiifce the peaE d is of var times.
declares the bulletin further. "On all
sides gains in the number of employed
have been noted" declared Secretary
Conrad Shearer, "and in place Of the
sign so common the past year "No Help
Wanted" the bulletin boards arc cal
ing for various classes of help
Marked improvement in this fine has
been noted particularly at the plants
of the Nash Motors, Hall Lamp, Amer
lean Brass, Frost Mfg. Co. and some
others. Farm hands are still greatly
in demand and the supply of this class
of help is insufficient.
Employment statistics covering a doz-
en- leading industries of the city show
that during the month of February the
increase in operatives hired amounted
to 80. All reports for the present
month are not available, but indica-
tons point to an exceptional increase,
approximately double that of Febru-
airy.
Good Prospects for April
April promises to furnish the usual
number of spring jobs, such as the re-
moving of storm doors and windows,
cleaning up of yards, preparing gar
dens. Outside labor should be in con-
siderable demand for road building,
street paving and all such lines of
construction work as has been wait
ing for the frost to leave the ground.
Regardless of the Improvement noted
the past fortnight, it should be clearly
understood that conditions are yet far
from what we would wish to see them.
No Room for Imported Labor.
There is absolutely no room for out
of-town help, as there is sufficient la
Dor on the local market to take up
all the openings that will come for
some time. It may be necessary from
time to time to bring in few mechan-
les, skilled along special lines, but
care should be exercised not to induce
people without trades to come to the
city.
Such persons are doomed to disap-
pointment, for the reason that for
some time to come local help will be
found ample to supply all the needs Of
the home town.

JOINS in PROTEST
Kenosha Post Commander
Wires Governor to Stop
O'Hare Address.
BLAINE ISSUES PERMIT
Despite Protests Gov. Blame
Issues Permit to Allow Mrs.
X. R. O'Hare to Speak.

Kenosha took new interest in the
controversy which has been staged in
Madison over the question as to wheth-
er Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare would
be allowed to speak at the state cap
itol building when Gilbert S. Lance,
commander of the Kenosha post of the
American Legion, in answer to an ap-
peal from State Commander Edward
]. Barrett of Sheboygan, wired Gov
ernor Blaine at 2 o'clock this after
noon filing the protest of the Kenosha
service men against opening the doors
of the capitol building to this speak
err.
At noon today Commander Lance
received telegram from his state
commander, urging that every pres
sure possible be brought to bear on
the governor to show that the Ameri-
can Legion of the state was united
in its protest against the former es-
pionage prisoner.
Not Official Action.
81 did not have time to call meet
ing of the post, declared Post Com
mander Lance. 81 have, however, TAX
en- up the matter with some of the
members Of the executive committee
and we are willing to back the state
commander in his protest. The wire
sent to the governor made it clear that
was acting as the commander of the.
post in urging that he rescind his &C.
tion today in opening the capitol to
Mrs. O'Hare. !"

assembly chamber of the Wisconsin
capitol building to deliver an address
on "Crime and Criminals" Thursday
night under the auspices of the Social
Science club Of the University of Wis
consin, Governor j, j. Blaine let it be
known in statement issued today.
Neither the superintendent of pub
lie property nor the governor can sit
as board of censorship or deny the
use of the capitol to recognized or
CARNATIONS" the governor declared.
1T is expected that any organization
NoAAAS IAiC NS%pAOOA WILL use IL 1OI a pIOp-
er purpose, will refrain from any vio-
lation of law, and conduct the meet
ing in manner compatible with good
order, and when they do, official CEN
sorship is unjustifable."
Legion Led Protest.
Representatives of the Madison Am
erican Legion post and of the Gun
and Blade organization of wounded
soldiers at the University of Wiscon-
sin, met with Governor ]. j. Blaine
last night to protest the use of the
assembly chamber by Kate Richards
O'Hare, who. is scheduled to speak on
Thursday evening.
Those present at the meeting say
that Governor Blaine expressed the.
opinion that Mrs. O'Hare, who served
II months in prison during the war
for violation of the espionage laws,
should be allowed to speak in the cap
itol building.
The University recently denied her
the privilege Of addressing students on
the campus. The Legion has taken the
stand that the state capitol building
should not be opened to her. 1t was
said today that no move had been
made by state officials to have the
meeting cancelled.
