PREM|ER'S OFFICE
YIELDS DYNAMITE
Quebec Prime Minister Doubts
Attempt on Life, However

Quebec. Feb. % R-Premier
Taschereau. who found a stick of
dynamite on the floor Of his office
in the legislature building TUESDAY
night, declares that he Is convinced
that no attempt was made on his
life, but that somebody wanted to
destroy his offi,e and its contents.
The premier said nothing bout
the affair until questioned by friends
last night. The fuse attached to
the explosive had been lighted but
in some way extinguished.
1t was suggested around the legis-
lature lobhies today that some legal
disposal of explosives, now easily
obtainable by those conducting
blasting operations.
The police said the dynamite was
OF the most powerful type and hal
it exploded would have wrecked
he portion of the building in which
the premier's office is located. Of
ficials we're unable to explain why
any attempt should have been made
on the prcmicr's life.
Freshly made footprints in the
snow On the steps leading to the
Ste. Julie street entrance caused the
police to believe entrance was made
in this manner. This door. they
said. usually was kept locked at
night. they also found that the key
opening the Ste. Julie street door
also opened that Of the prcmicr's
ante chamber.

greeted with laughter. lie added
that the auditorium was supposed 10
be built for dancing. but that there
was too much vibration for that pur-
pose.
Exchange OF Repartce
Here sarcasm was injected into
the controversy. MIR. Harding re-
piled. Yes, everything is probably

laughter.

He added that the board of finance
had made an inspection and was
satisfied with the job. Instead of

wrong with the school. but the situ-

he added.
Dozen Have Inspected School
Mr.. Howard asked for a show Of
hands of how many people had in
spected the school. About a dozen
people held up their hands. although
one woman objected to the showing
because the building officially is not
yet open to inspection. How many
of those who were down there are
satisfied that changes are needed?
insqnired Mr.. Howard. There was
no showing of hands this time.
,Ir. Russell. who is a members of
the building committee. charged that
the architect had not complied with
an agreement to place a copy Of the
plans and specifications in the hands
Of every member Of the committee.
i He sidesteppcd it," continued Mr.
Russell. who added that the roof of
the building was not according TO
specifications. He charged that
meetings were held without all the
members Of the committee being
notified. Mr.. Howard replied "Since
I've been cX officio member OF the
committee everyone has had no.
tice Of a meeting. I'm protesting
against unnecessary further delay.
Let's have cooperation and arbtra-
ton and let's do away with further
