City Hall and Large Buildings
Shaken When Dynamite
ExpIOdes.

Fitchburg, Mass. Aug. II Up
Delegates to the state convention of
the American Legion and citizens
generally were given scare last
night when two deafening explo-
sione occurred which shook city hall
and neighboring buildings. A squad
of police under Chief Thomas J.
Cooley. rushed to city hall believing
that previoues threats made to
wreck the hall had been carried out,
but their fears proved groundless.
An investigation which stated I'M
mediatedy led the police to believe
that the two explosions took place
on the side of Rollstone Hill and
were apparently two sticks of dy-
Mantle. A guard was placed In the
vicinity of the hill for remainder Of
the night.
Chief Cooley, shortly after the
two explosions occurred. announced
that an armed guard hah been sta
toned at the buildings Of the Fitch
burg Gas and Electric company as a
result Of a telephone call received
late yesterday afternoon at the Of
fees of the company stating that
the company could expect trouble.

SAYS Coolidge To
Be REN0MINATED
Senator Predicts Deadlock in
Convention

Rapid City, s. D.. Aug. IL Up
Railroad consolidation, farm relief
and the Mississippi food situation
we're problems opened to discussion
by President Coolidge today with
Senator Fess, of Ohio, and Repre-
sentative W. E. Hull, OF Illinois, both
of whom have come into the Black
Hills for summer conferences at the
state game lodge.
The Ohio senator predicted that
the president would be nominated
by the republican convention next
year In spite of his determination to
leave office.
He brought with him, also, the
prediction that congress would insist
on a naval program which would
place the American navy upon an
equality with that of Great Britain
in the event President Coolidge was
unsuccessful in obtaining guarantees
for Limitation at another armament
conference.
President Coolidge does not de-
sire another term as his statement
FULLY explained" Senator Fess said.
But I think that he will be nomi-
rated as result of a deadlock IN
the next convention"
Senator Tess said his primary
purpose in coming to Rapid City was
70 discuss prospective railroad con-
solidation legislation with the pres
jdent.
Representative Hull. a member OF
the house rivers and harbors COM
mittee, was expected to discuss the
Mississippi river flood situation.
He was also interested last year IN
4 bill for the manufacture of me-
licinal whiskey by the government.

KANGAROO.BEARS
MUCH TOO SN00TY
Only Sneer-P Proof Dogs Enlisted
in Chase

Chappaqua, N. T., Aug. II (UP)-
The trouble with kangaroo bears,
they're so darn snooty.
Folks were divided bitterly today
over whether one of them-or both
Of them-sneered at Station Agent
Chester Drum.
The majority opinion was that
they did and a pack of the toughest
hounds in Weetchester county was
being organized today to resume the
hunt for the marauding hybrids.
Only hard boiled dogs who can re-
sist sheer will be enlisted in the
cause.
A travelling salesman from White
Plains was in town last night. After
hearing of the woodlands miscegen-
alton involving a circus lady kan
CARGO and a Westminster bear the
salesman recalled that there used to
be pack of sneer-proof hounds at
Winsted, Conn. He thought they
OF Police Romano that Winsted
probably would be able to supply
some dogs anyway.
Friends of W. F. Madison and
his police dog Rollo were skeptical.
Rollo disappeared about the time
the kangaroo bears were first seen
here and everyone in town except
those who don't like police dogs sus-
pect that the waits OF the forest
have eaten Rollo.
And, a good job done II they did
eat the snappy beast" say the anti
police dog faction of Chappaqua
which lives on the yonder side Of
the railroad tracks.
A composite description of the
two kangaroo bears has been OBJ
tanned by comparing the descrip-
tons of Drum. Chief Romano and
the several others who have seen the
beasts on their occasional visits to
town.
Everyone except Drum agreed
that the names of the kangaroo
bears were Margaret and Phyllis.
but Drum insisted that Margaret's
name was Charles.
"Who ever heard of a kangaroo
bear named Charles?" enquired the
village sceptic.
"Who ever heard OF a kangaroo
bear named Margaret?" countered
Drum, and got SO mad that Chief
Romano interviewed with a sugges-
ton that Margaret be called Spirit
Of st. Louis.
So Margaret is to be known
as *" The village cynic
said he would call her Madame X,
and Drum said he didn't care If he
did.
A flashlight photograph taken as
they hybrids galloped down the rail-
road track night before last was de-
veloped today, but the photographer
had forgotten to unmuzzle the
camera.

DRYS FEEL SURE
MEDICINE LIQUOR
PLAN SQUELCHED
Andrews Idea of Further
Whisky DistiIIery Thought
Checked.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 26 - Dry
forces today believed they had check
mated the plan of Gen. Lincoln c.
Andrews, prohibition chief, to start
several distilleries manufacturing
medicinal liquor to replenish dwin-
dlinS supplies.
Some drys contend the plan would
flood the country with whisky and
turn many corner drugstores into sa-
looms. Leaders of the dry forces de-
clare manufacture of medicinal
liquor unnecessary, as present sup
plies will last four to six years, and
when these are consumed liquor can
be imported for medical purposes.
During the last four years, more
than $4,000 gallons of liquor have
been stolen from Government ware
houses, according to Treasury esti-
mates, but no accurate count has
been made recently, and more may
have been lost
Four. Year Supply Left
About 100000 gallons, four
years supply, are left, the treasury
estimates.
Distillers, through a special COM
mittee here, said today they are
ready to go ahead with the manu-
facture of medicinal liquor if the
Government assures them their in
vestment will be protected.
In some sections physicians and
druggists have been "harassed' to
the point where many of them will
have nothing to do with medicinal
liquor, and as result many people
have turned to the bootleggers in
times of sickness. they said.
The first break in the prohibition
machine built up by Andrews is ex-
pected to come soon when five or
more of his chief field lieutenants re-
sign from the dry service.
Personnel Breaking
The organization, built up over
two-year period, today appeared
