The election last November, which
swept the Democrats into control
of the national government, like
wise gave the party dominance over
an unprecedented number of state
governments.
Of the forty-eight Governors,
thirty-eight are Democrats, eight
are Republicans, one-Meier of Ore

Interest rate on petty loans is eX-
pected to start a battle in the house

sion ends.
Battle lines were drawn after the
house committee on banks and trust
funds reported out rewritten petty

ure in every respect except the en-
acting clause and giving the new
department of financial institutions
full power to fix rates.
In the meantime, the committee
is holding a senate bill setting a
fiat rate of 2 per cent against rates
in the other bill, which are set
optionaIly at 312 up to $3.50, and
215 on loans above that amount.
Representative Fred S. Galloway
Dem, Indianapolis), will demand
that the committee report out the
senate bill, and during the morning
session exhibited a copy of his mo-
ton signed by twenty-three house
members.
Galloway sought to offer the mo-
ton, but was halted by Speaker
Earl Crawford, who said he would
not entertain it until Representa-
tive Leo M. Gardner Dem, In

Foil Attempt.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - The
alertness of Washington postoffice
employees has foiled a second at
tempt on the life of President elect
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
A crudely-fashiond bomb, OBJ
viously the work Of an amateur, was
dug out of a package addressed to

On the plain, brown-paper wrap
ping was the postmark:
"Watertown, N. Y"
All the energy of the federal gov
ernment's crime fighting forces was
massed today in the attempt to run
down the person or persons who sent
the package.
Secret service officials and de-
partment of justice agents we're re-
luctant to discuss the case today,
and would not confirm reports that
large force of the governments
crack investigators were on the way
to Watertown.
The wrapping on the brown paper
parcel aroused suspicion in the post
office here, because it was loose.
The bomb was designed to ex-
plode when opened.
So crude was the bomb, experts
said, that they doubted whether it
would have done any harm even if
Mr.. Roosevelt had received and
opened it.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The RooSe-
welt administration swung into gear
today to advance the date of the
world economic conference, and to
speed agreements designed to stimu-
late foreign trade and enable the
nations of the world to help each
other out of the depression.
President Elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt's announcement of APP
pointments of his two chief cabinet
officers coming after a series of
with foreign ENJOYS,
was subject to no other interpreta-
ton than that the rev administra-
ton was assuming charge Of the
nations foreign affairs.
1t was made evident that Mr..
Roosevelt now hopes to make it pos
sible to hold the world economic
conference early in the spring.
This would make possible a COM
plete reconciliation of the Roosevelt
insistence that European nations
make economic concessions in eX-
change for war debt revision, and
the British viewpoint that though
debts may be considered individu-
ally, economic matters can only be
decided in joint international con-
ference.
Senator Cordell Hull of Tennes-
see, who will become secretary OF
state March 4, and william H
Woodin, president of the American
Car and Foundry Company, who
will become secretary of the treas
ury, were expected TO start almost
at once conferences with European
ambassadors and ministers looking
toward an early meeting of the eco
nomic conference.

Residents of a score Of homes

threatened by fire which destroyed
the Central States Bridge and

Singleton and Beecher streets,

Turned into a roaring mass of

minutes after the roof caught fire
from sparks from passing freight

plant was a smouldering heap of
ruins within half an hour.
Homes opposite the plant were
threatened with destruction as
flames and sparks we're carried by
a south wind. Many families fed
from the danger area carrying be-
longings. None of the homes was
damaged.
Three alarms we're sounded when
the roof blaze was discovered by Ed
Mays, stationary engineer at the
plant. When fire apparatus arrived,
the entire roof was afire and the
flames rapidly were spreading to the
walls and interior.
Firemen escaped injury when the
east wall crashed to the ground
carrying with it large iron Orders
supporting the roof.
Twenty employees carried office
records to safety, but most of the
machinery, used in casting and
making of structural steel, was
damaged extensively by heat.
Hundreds of persons, attracted by
huge smoke clouds, crowded near
the scene while firemen poured
eight water streams on the burning
structure from all angles.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Philip K.
- Wrigley, gum manufacturer,
completed today a plan for in
creasing the wages of his en-
ployes, shortening their working
hours, and providing them with
assurance of some income even if
they are laid of.
The plan entails.
l. Increase of minimum wage
scale.
2. Ten per cent reduction in
working hours and a correspond
ing increase in wage per hour.
3. Guarantee of 25 per cent of
salary to all employees laid off.
While emphasizing that he is
advancing his plan only for his
own business and not as a cure-all
for the depression, Wrigley also
made it plain that he believes the
logical road to business recovery
lies in increasing wages in the
lower brackets of industrial labor.
