Bombs Tossed at
Cairo English
Unidentified Person S
Hurl Blasts Into Brit
ish Headquarters

Cairo, March 5-An Egyptian
was killed, three British soldiers
wounded and military intelligence
communications threatened with
disruption when two unidentified
persons, apparently natives, whirl-
ed through Cairo in a motor-car
driven at terrific speed and hurl-
ed bombs at British headquar-
ters.
One bomb which rolled into the
signal room at headquarters
would have disorganized communi-
cation for the whole district had
it exploded. The other fell into
q cafe adjoining headquarters,
burst, wrecking the cafe and
caused the four casualties.
A close guard is always kept
about the signal station, yet the
unknown assailants were able to
approach, throw the bombs ac-
eurately and escape in their car.
The outrage was the third in
three weeks.

State Delegate Smith
Says Many Favor
Compromise
GAS TAX IN SIGHT
If Gas Tax Goes Through
Greater Bond Issue Will
Come Later Before
People.

Discussing the proposed $12,-
100000 bond issue by the state
legislature, now in session in
Richmond, State Delegate Charles
Henry Smith, who represents this
city and Arlington county in the
State Legislature, said today that
while he is hopeful of the pas
sage of the bond issue, otherwise
a two or three cent gasoline tax
may be adopted as an emergency
measure in the interest of good
roads he thinks.
In the opinion of Mr.. Smith
is the $12,O00,000 bond issue does
not pass later there will be bond
issue probably for about S5O,OOO,-
900 which will be submitted to
the people. The proposed bond
issue for $12,0O0,000, however,
he stated would not be submitted.
However, Mr.. Smith is of the
opinion that probably two cent
gas tax will be the compromise
effected, as there are many mem
bers of the legislature he said
who are agreeable to such a COM
promise. Mr.. Smith spent the
week end here and expects to re-
turn to Richmond this evening.

Big Fair at Leipzig Opens

Berlin, March 5-Chancellor
Cuno may ask the special session
of the Reichstag tomorrow to
break diplomatic relations with
France, Die Welt Am Montag
declared today
A report is gaining credence
in diplomatic circles, the paper
said, that the chancellor will not
content himself with a mere note
of protest against the occupation
of Mannheim, Karlsruhe and
Darmstadt but will seek strong
er action.
The French advance into the in
dustrial cities of the Upper
Rhine appears to have had the
effect of arousing German peo-
pies everywhere to protest and
mild revolt. More trouble was
reported from the Ruhr than for
weeks; Berlin seethed with DEM
onstrations. Many of which took
on a nationalist character; other
mass meetings were against wa:.,
high rents and Jews; any form
of disturbance drew enthusiastic
crowds.
In the midst of all these dis
turbances, however, the famous
Leipzig fair opened this morning
with 100000 visitors attending
before the day was over. Twenty
percent of those who attended
the opening day were foreigners
The fair is one of the great events
of the year in central Europe.

President Signs Fifty
Bills in Last Forty
Five Minutes Before
Adjournment.
CBy United Press)

Washington, March 5.-Con-
gress today began a long vaca-
ton.
The country began a long rest
from Congress.
With the death of the Sixth
seventh Congress at noon yester-
day, President Harding emphati-
cally expressed to administration
leaders his determination not to
call the national legislature back
into session until the regular ses-
sion next December.
If he can carry out this plan,
the period from March to De-
cember will represent the longest
Congressional vacation since pre-
war days.
The death of the present Con-
gress was, marked by sharp con-
trasts in the two houses.
In the senate, there was Sab
bath solemnity, as members kept
debating minor legislation almost
up to the stroke of twelve. The
house forgot all about legislative
matters and indulged in noisy
farewell session, which despite
its merriment was not without
it's pathos.
There were tears in many eyes
as "Uncle Joe" Cannon, carrying
his old sloch hat, walked down
the aisles for the last time, amid
one of the greatest demonstra-
tions ever given a retiring mem
Der.
"Uncle Joe" sang no swan song
The expression of pent up emo
ton on his face indicated he
couldn't if he had tried.
Old songs were sung, leaders
of both parties said kind words
about each other, a tribute was
paid to Miss Alice Robertson and
Mrs. Winifired Huck, retiring
congresswomen and then the final
gavel fell.
Virtually no legislation was
enacted in either house yesterday.
President Harding spent the last
forty-vve minutes of the session
in his room off the senate, sign
ing about so bills.
The only important nomination
to fail of cnfirmation was that
James G. McNary of Ell Paso to
be comptroller of the currency.
The President expected to fill this
Office by a recess appointment.
