EXPLODING BOMB
KILLS3 MINERS
Missile Was Hurled Into Patter-
son Mine At Apollo, Pa,
Early Today
By The Associated Press,

APOLLO, PA, Apr. 2S-Three
miners were killed and one seriously
injured when a bomb was thrown
early today into a bunkhouse at the
Patterson mine of the Kiski Coal
Company here.
The men, who had been employed
on a non-union basis after the coal
strike was called April /, were asleep
in the bunkhouse at the time. Stan
ley Meilke, Andrew Borniak and
Frank Ridgaki were instantly killed,
and Frank Cogaski badly hurt by a
steel splinter from the bomb that hos
pital doctors said he might not re-
cover All of the dead men were
married and their deaths make IA
children fatherless.
The Patterson mine is in Westmore-
land county and is just across the Kis-
kimenetas river from Apollo. Before
the strike it employed 75 men, it's
products being sent to a steel COM
pany here.
Seven miners were asleep in the
bunkhouse. which had been erected a
few days ago after they had complain
ed to the management that they were
being annoyed by pickets on their way
to and from work
They were asleep when, just before
dawn, according to the authorities,
they were awakened by crashing glass
and in the darkness saw the sputter-
ing end of a fuse. Meilke, who was
the first out of bed, caught up the
bomb, and it exploded in his arms,
killing him and two others who had
rushed to his side.

APPELLATE COURT TO
HEAR RE-ARGUMENT IN
CASE OF WATERS HOWES

The case of Waters Howes, of An
napolis, under sentence of three
months confinement in the county
Jail, and to pay fine of $500, for con-
viction of violating the liquor laws OF
Annapolis, will be re-argued in the
Maryland Court of Appeals. That
tribunal today granted a motion for
re-argument, which had been filed by
counsel for Howes.
This case has been pending since
the last October term of the Circuit
Court, before which Howes was con-
victed, sentence being passed by
Judge Moss. Appeal to the States
highest tribunal was taken, and the
judgment of the lower court was af-
firmed by a divided court few weeks
ago. Then counsel for the defendant
petitioned for re-argument in order to
present further points in the case. and
this motion has just been granted.

RADIO STATION
ATTRACTS MANY
Receiving Plant Set Up BY Local
Business Firm Meets
Success

Annapolis radio enthusiasts will be
interested in the success of a station
installed by the Simpson Electrical
Company on Maryland avenue. prob
ably the most perfect receiving outfit
that has yet been set up in the city.
The Simpson Electrical Company
has spent sometime in Quitting their
receiving station and in erecting an
aerial of the most approved type
Last nights program of "WGY."
schenectady, New York; was almost
perfect and an audience of about a
dozen people heard the musical selec-
tions reproduced and amplified in the
Simpson store. Shortly after the
"WG.Y." program. the program of
"K.DK.A" pittsburgh came in.
The greatest difficulty so far en-
countered in local radio receiving sta
tions appears to be caused by the
high-power wireless station on Green
berry Point. This station creates
static condition that is rather difficult
TO overcome and a slight disturbance
is quite frequently audible when the
receiving station is tuned in on one Of
the numerous broadcasting centers.
The high-power wireless station in
use for government and commercial
messages in the early evening, un-
fortunately is operated at the same
time that the broadcasting stations
are sending out their programs.
The interference of the wirless with
the radio, however, is not sufficient to
spoil the enjoyment of the program,
as the Simpson Electrical Company's
outfit demonstrated last evening. 1t
is expected that some new develop
ment in the rapidly growing science
of radio telephone will, within a few
weeks, furnish an absolute cure for
this slight difficulty.
Frank G. Baker, of the Simpson
Electrical Company, has assisted
largely in the construction of this To-
cal outfit and entertains high hopes
of making it a thing of general in
terest in the community.

BURNING OF WAREROOM
ENTA|LED $4,000 LOSS
But c. L. Tate Says There Is
$4,000 Insurance On Wreck
ed Building
PRAISES FIRE LADDIES

Charles l.. Tate, of the firm of
Charles l.. Tate and Company. of
Arnolds Station, whose large ware
room building, together with much
machinery, equipment of his canning
factory, canned goods, etc, destroyed
in the fire of late Wednesday night,
stated today that the loss is S2S,000,
with insurance of 10000.
Mr.. Tate, who was in the city today,
was high in his praise of the prompt
response and splendid work done by
the volunteer firemen of Annapolis in
preventing further spread of the
flames. Mr. Tate said it was early
realized that the wareroom was DOOM
and valuable assistance rendered by
the city fire fighters, all nearby
buildings might have fallen prey to
the flames. The fire was first dis
covered by Mr. Tate between $50 and
10 o'clock. He said he had retired for
the night and before he could shift
clothing, which was less than five
minutes, practically the entire build
ing was in flames. There was much
infiamlrable material in the structure,
Mr.. Tate said. including $4,000 worth
of Labels for canned goods. The build
ing was so by 120 feet.
The fact that the building was en-
tirely of frame construction, coupled
with the quantity of materials stored
in it, made the blaze spectacular
one, aad the reflection could be seen
for miles around the countryside. 1t
was seen so plainly from the city, that
many residents thought the fire was
just across Severn river, instead of
four miles further north.

The announcement of the re-elec-
ton of Mrs. Maud Wood Park of

ser of Girard, o.. and treasurer. Miss

important items of business. all of
which were disposed of in order that
the convention might adjourn.
Sharp debate had arisen over pro-
posal by the Pennsylvania Delegation
that the league eliminate from
its program all the social problems
which have heretofore engaged its at
tention and concentrate its efforts on
political work. The idea had been ex-
rlained as actuated by desire to
"cut out the sob stuff" Two hours
of yesterday afternoons session had
been consumed in the debate and il
came up for final settlement last
night.
After invoking the aid of Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait. founder of the
League il was agreed to leave the mat
ter over for the next convention. Mrs,
Gait favored leaving out some of the
present activities of the league ulti-
mately. but accepted a full share oi
responsibility for the existing pro-
gram. After that the report of the
council on the coming years work
was approved, after an amendment
which made the effort for interna-
tional peace part of the program

VARIETY OF TOPICS
DISCUSSED BEFORE
UNIVERSITY CLUB

At the meeting of the University
Club, last evening, in Mcdowell Hall,
st. Johns College, four very inter
esting talks were given.
Instructor c. A. Shook of the Naval
Academy, gave very accurate ac-
count of the theory of the tides,
which is not very well understood in
detail by many people. Methods
used in predicting tides were outlin-
ed and special mention was made of
the tide-predicting machine used at
the Coast and Geodetic Survey in
Washington. which calculates with
great accuracy for years ahead.
Prof L. A. Doggett, of the Post
Graduate School. in treating the sub
ject, "Bomts VS. Battleships," read a
number of extracts from periodical
writings giving the opinions of var
ious men of note on the question whe-
ther the bomb had rendered the bat
tleship obsolete as a fighting unit
After some comment and explanation,
the speaker left the audience free to
draw their own conclusions.
Prof P. J. Kiefer of the Postcard
uate School. spoke on the methods OF
m a Assuring high temperatures.
Sketches were made of the thermo-
couple apparatus. the electric resis-
tance thermometer, and other devices.
Instructor +. B. Foster of the Ma
val Academy, gave very interest
ing account of life at Oxford Univer-
sity Mr. Foster was a Rhodes schol-
ar at Oxford and seemed to have a
great wealth of experiences to draw
upon. Many of these were very hui
morous. and his entire talk was ex-
tremely instructive and entertaining
He made it very clear that life at an
English University is very different
from what it is at an American col
/ lege.

Seven Women Arrested

UNION TOWN, PA, Apr 2S.-Seven
State policemen arrested seven wo-
men during a demonstration at Mine
No. of the Collery Hill Coal and
Coke Company, about ten miles from
here, today. The women were
brought to Union Town, charged with
disorderly conduct.
The women, according to the au-
thorities. were part of a large crowd
which assembled near the mine as the
day shift of safety workmen were
about TO enter. Many of the women
were incensed, it was stated, because
their husbands had not been detailed
for this work. Three of the women
arrested yesterday at another mine in
the county during similar demon
stration were fined $40 and costs each
