Washington. July 2s.--Assaults on the wool schedule of the tariff bill were continued today from both sides Of the Senate with proponents strik- ing back vigorously and winning out on each of the three roll calls taken during the seven hour session.

 Senator Lenrott. republican, of Wis consin. created something of stir early in the day by inserting that there was unIntentionally concealed protection in the schedule for makers of wooden cloth. while late in the day Senator Nelson, republican, Minneso- ta, made a characteristicaliy vigorous attack on the wool rates in particular and the whole bill in general.

 First reports were that the explo- sion occurred in a restaurant. Many persons were said to have been eat- ing in the restaurant at the time. but it is not known whether all of these escaped, because the building was ie- molished by the explosion and took fire soon afterward.
