DYNAMITERS SEEK
 TO BLOW UP DAM
Attempt Is Made To Destroy RcSer-
 voir In Town of Gov.

Providence, June 13.-Rushing of | National Guard troops from strike | duty in Pawtuxet valley to the Flat river reservoir in the town of Gov entry. revealed the fact that an at- tempt had been made to dynamite the south gate in the dam at the reservoir, which supplies many of the textile mills with water
 A full case of fifty sticks of the explosive was apparently used, ac- cording to state officials who hurried to the scene to conduct an investiga- tion. Had the attempt been success full the officials added. two billion gallons of water in the reservoir would have been loosed upon Wash ington. Anthony, Quidneck, Center vile. Arctic, Riverpoint and other villages along the Pawtuxet river valley.
 The dynamite was exploded back of the heavy cast iron casing of the gate. It tore out large part of the casing, ripped away several feet in cement facing, destroyed the timbers around it and broke the spindle that holds the gate in place. The gate, however, instead of blowing out as apparently had been intended, fell across the face of staunch set Of tubes just ahead of it, SO that no water could escape.
 Discovery of the attempt to wreck the gate was made last night by the keeper of the reservoir. State auth critics were at once notified but in an effort to apprehend those responsi- ble withheld all information until this noon. Eleven uneXpoded sticks of dynamite were found near the scene.
