DOCTOR S
YARD BOMBED
AS HURLERS
MISS MARK

CLEVELAND, Sept. 7.(By
Clarence 1. Simmons for AMP -
An ear splitting explosion sharttcrea
the stiffness OF the night a. j mis-
directed bomb narrowly missed
bringing death to the family and
several friends Of Dr. 4. @. Baum
gardner, well known surgeon, at his
home in Wilmer road in CleveIand's
Heights, last Sunday night.
The bomb fell on the lawn of the
home near the front entrance. Had
II been hurled Il few fee; farther
would have possibly brought in
slant death To the two i3aumgardnef
children the Youngest is nint
months oldand to the wife Of the
doctor, her father, and the medical
man himself, Ten minutes before
II would have met ii party Of white
friends Of the doctor walking uut
Of the door after d visit.
The bombing was considered 10
be part Of plan that has been
unaer way to keep the doctor from
moving into the swanky Wilmer
Road section. Police have in theit
possession rough note that warnea
the Baumgardners that IF they
moved in the house would be blow
to bits.
DR. Baumgardner was upstairs
tucking the baby in bed and his wife
was III the kitchen at the rear when
the terrific shock was felt aud the
heavy reverberation Of the bomb
was heard Windows in the home
were shattered and damage that may
we'll run into the hundreds Of dollars
done to the porch and lawn. Several
nearby homes were rocked by the
shock.
No one could be found who had
seen the dynamiter. That the bomb
was crude and probably homemade,
however, seemed obvious from the
fact that the greatest harm came
from the detonation rather than
from parts Of the bomb itself.
The case was given to the police
department Of Cleveland Heights, in
which section the house is located,
and mayor Of this suburb has prom
ised thorough investigation. Dr..
Baumgardner is one Of the best
known local specialists, having a
large practice both in his office and
IN Mt. Sinai hospital where his pri-
vate surgery is done. He is also q
member Of the City hospital staff.

CATHARTICS
A BAD HABIT

If you have common con-
stipation, due to lack Of
bulk in the diet, the great
objection to pills and
purgatives is that they only
perpetuate the trouble.
Why not encourage
elimination with a natural
laxative food with Kel-
logg's All-Bran. It absorbs
moisture and softens like q
sponge. This water-sof.
tened mass aids elimina-
ton. At the same time it
improves intestinal tone
because Kellogg's All-Bran
contains the intestinal
tonic vitamin B..
Eat All-Bran as a cereal
or baked in mullins. And
drink plenty of water.

 T have been asked to comment on a news report published in the local press to the effect that I am to be opposed for reelection by an organization describing it. self as The Women's Rebellion Against the New Deal.

 "This organizations campaign is probbaly unnecessary, and if 1t is to cost the members any : money, they are probably making q mistake to spend it, because I think that those who share their emotional attitude toward the Presidents social and economic program will vote against those who supported the program with out any organized drive.
 Proposition of this nature to the Presidents program of public expenditures for relief and recov- cry necessitates a blind disregard of the plight of the unemployed and of the merchant whose exist ence depends on the peoples con- suming power. Such a campaign

 On the Democratic side, Rep. Herman P. Kopplemann, Hartford, seeking to replace Augustine Loner- gan as U. s. senator, continued bom- bardment of Lonergans record.
 Kopplemann, running as a New Dealer, charged "the man who is opposing me has shown his loyalty to the utility interest in opposition to the peoples interest by his vote against an amendment to permit REV to make loans for public power plants back in May, 1883; by his re- peated votes against the public util- ity holding company act in 1895, in- cluding his final vote against the measure which passed without his support"
 Furthermore, Kopplemann assert ed, Lonergan voted ito destroy the IVA" and supported interstate flood control compacts which the con- gressman said would favor private power companies.
