BLAST HELD.
WARNING
To GIRL
Aged Couples Lives and That
of Threatened Young Woman
lmperiIIed at Luray

LURAY, Va, Aug. 21.-Three
might riders" who early today
bombed a home here, endangering
three lives in their attempt to
force a young woman to leave
town, are being sought by police.
The first clue to the perpetrators
of the outrage, the second bomb
ing in week, was given to police
by neighbor who saw car with
three men drive away few mo-
ments after the bomb exploded
with a force that rocked houses
in all parts of the town.
Girl Gets Warnings
The bomb was placed close to
the home of Silas Rossiter, "a,
who was in the house at the time
with his blind wife, Fanny, 80,
and her companion, Miss May
Smith, "a.
The might riders" have been
warning Miss Smith to leave town,
police were notified, and they be-
lieve the explosion was another
Wal I1lI1S.
She had been sent two threaten
ing letters saying her life was in
danger unless she left town.
Warning Note Found
The first blast, almost at the
same hour last Monday night,
was followed by the finding of a
note which told Miss Smith:
"You are in danger. The
town of Luray is in danger,
too, if you don't leave town.
No. 2 will red hot the town."
The missive was unsigned, and
the mo. 2" was tal-en to mean
the second blast.
Mr.. and Mrs. RosSer were
thrown from their beds by the
explosion this morning, as was
Miss Smith, who narrowly escaped
injury when the door of her room
was blown across her bed. Win
dows throughout the house were
shattered, and the fence around
the home was virtually wrecked.
Police believe the explosives were
planted along the fence.
Mystery To Smith Girl
A second blast that followed the
first by a few minutes was be-
lieved to have been caused by a
stick of dynamite that failed to
explode at the first conclusion.
Miss Smith told police she could
give no reason for the threats, and
could not recognize the handWrit-
ing in the two notes she has re-
ceived. Miss Smith has lived in the
Rosser home for one month, car
ing for the aged couple in eX'
change for her board.

kind in this city since the exploits
of the late Gerald Chapman, no.

the number of men in the gang.
Estimates at first ranged as high
as IL men, but later were reduced
to from to 10.
Used Three Cars
Ehe men escaped in three auto

routes, indicating the Well-planned
nature of the crime.
According to stories told by the
guards-John Allen, John Wilson,
and William Lillienthal-the lat
ter two had gone into the office
of the ice plant to deliver a cash
pay roll.
AS they emerged, they saw
several men, apparently uncon-

which had been wheeled close to
the curb.
Machine Gun In Cart
AS the two guards reached the
street, the curb elders" suddenly
whipped aside the dingy cloth over
the pushcart, revealing a machine
gun which they snapped up and
pointed at the astonished guards
Two other men stepped up
quickly, frisking the guards and
taking their weapons. The guards
then were hustled into their own
armored truck where Allen, the
driver, already had been covered"
by two other members Of the gang.
Scooping up currency from the
armored truck, the thugs carried
it into the three automobiles and
sped away.
AS they left, the robbers aban.

armored car. Lilienthal snapped
up the machine-gun and Allen

The real fight will be over the
succession to the job now held by

For that position there will be
at least a score of active candi.

seems to be no way to prevent

ing a successor to Mr.. Byrns.
South Has High Posts
Because of the habit of the
people of the Southern States of
keeping a man in the House
when he gets there, the South,
erners, by virtue of seniority, have
managed to capture almost all
the important committee chair
manships. It is a Craftsmanship
that brings out the qualities of
leadership in a man, and the
SouthernerS have demonstrated
that they have that quality. At
least, they have demonstrated it
to their own satisfaction.
Consequently there are at least
a dozen chairmen of committees
who believe that their sterling
abilities should be recognized by
their colleagues and that they
should be given the choice job of
presiding over the House.
On the other hand, Democratic
districts in the North and West
frequently over-turn their Repre-
sentatives and make it hard for
them to win committee chairman
ships. Despite this fact the North
and West, by uniting, are able
to force occasional concessions
