THREE MEN KILLED WHEN
BOMB IN MAIL EXPLODES

Grand Rapids.-Postal inspectors
from Chicago have arrived to aid in
Investigating the explosion which
wrecked the loading dock and receiv.
Ing of the main postoffice here,
killing three men and injuring II
others.
Herman Petersen, a clerk succumb-
ed after having both legs blown off,
and Ernest A. Roth, a truck driver,
died three hours after the blast.
Dale Newhouse, 10, died in a hospi-
tai Thursday.
The theory that the blast was caused
by the premature explosion of a bomb
being sent through the mails was adj
'anced by postal authorities, police and
firemen who secured the wreckage all
night for clues. No fragment Of a
bomb or other explosive was found,
however.
The explosion shattered windows for
several blocks, hurled fragments of the
platform 100 feet into the air;
threw a loading truck out of the feder-
al building o and buried five auto
in debris.

MONTANA,S VOTERS WIPE
PRIMARY LAW FROM BOOKS

The referendum measure for the re-
peal of the Montana preferential pri-
mary election law carried by a major
ty of more than 1900 votes, according
to a recheck of returns of last Tues
days balloting.
Numerous errors were found in the
scattered early returns on this measure
which on their face favored retention.
Sufficient official returns had been re-
ceived to indicate voters in a majority
of the IS counties favored repeal of
the law. Other issues remained un-
changed after the recheck of the early
unofficial figures.
The presidential preference primary
law was enacted as an initiative meas
ure in 1912. 1t provides for the nomin-
alton of party candidates for president
and vice president, the nomination Of
presidential electors and election Of
delegates to all national party conven-
tons. Lewis and Clark county, on a
recheck, gave 1000 majority for re-
peal.

Chinook.-Mr. Tiebot, manager OF
the experiment station tests in this
state, has written County Agent Gus
tafson to urge Blaine county potato
farmers to increase their acreage OF

JURY FINDS CONGRESSMAN NOT
GUILTY OF VIOLATING
LIQUOR LAW
HILL TO SEEK NEW DRY LIMIT
viii Also Ask Congress to Modify
Volstead Act in Favor
of 2.75 Beer

Baltimore, Md.-Representative Johl
Phillip Hill Of Baltimore was acquitted
by a jury in the United States court O.
violating the volstead law by manu-
featuring Intoxicating wine and cider
at his home.
The fifth and sixth counts of the in.
dfctment, which charged Colonel Hill
with maintaining a common nuisance
at his home, were dismissed under in
structions from Judge Morris A. Sop
er, who presided at the trial.
The trial was the result of a test
case forced by Colonel Hill, who main
tanned the Volstead law gave the farm
er a right to manufacture cider and
wine, but withheld from the city man
the right to manufacture beer.
The trial brought from Judge Soper
the opinion that the clause of the Vol
stead act defining beverages of more
than one-half of one per cent alcoholic
content as illegal did not apply to
homemade wines and cider, providing
the product is notwithstanding sin
fact"
Representative Hill declared after
the verdict that the finding gave him
an opportunity to go before congress
and demand modification of the Vol
stead act and the passage of his 2.75
per cent beer bill on the ground that
the Volstead act, in its present form,
discriminates and is unfair.
