As McCoy began turning the machine around to get back t<s a main traffic artery, according to his story as related by the officers, Dr. Moriarty suddeudly shouted: - "I'm going to kill you all.” McCoy said he stopped the car and attempted to quiet the professor. Dr. Moriarty then demanded that the car windows be rolled up. They complied with his request, McCoy said. The explosion followed. Previously, McCoy informed officers, he had noticed Moriarty bolding a small package in bis hand. He was unable to discern its size or shape because of darkness. The force of the blast blew off the top of the sedan, splintered the sides and sent out a shower of glass. Police found parts of the car 200 yards away from the scene of the explosion. McCoy and Miss Thonis were thrown from the automobile but the Moriartys caught the full force of the explosion. o COUNTY AGENT CjOONyiNUED FROM PAGE OXE£ activities, he made known the fact that while in the country as a whole horses are rapidly dwindling away, the report for the county shows that there is but a decrease of four horses from that of the last census.

Chief of Police Ray Shorlal said the boy* proudly admitted luring the youngster into a barn, clubbing him and tearing off his clothes. Then they submitted him to a half hour of torture, by burning him in 35 places with lighted majchces and a red hot wire. "They used a handkerchief to gag him. stuffing it in his mouth,” Shorta-1 said. "While one of them held him down the other heated a piece of wire and applied it to hie skin. The boy also told his parents the youths held a lighted match under the lobe of his car. The assault occurred Monday night.

The call to the boys on the 1915 ciass—many of whom never saw fathers who were killed in the world war —affected every corner of the country. No announcement was made of the number called. Foreign military attaches estimated the total at between 200,000 and 250.000. It was understood tliat they sufficiently outnumbered men who had been furloughed to do farm work, to bring the army to its greatest t0ta1—1,250.000 men of whom 350,000 are in East Africa.

EX-PRESIDENT GIVES PROGRAM Herbert Hoover Answers Roosevelt's First Campaign Speech Palo Alto, Cal., Apr. 15.—<U.R>— Lashing back at President Roosevelt's first campaign speech, former President Herbert Hoover advanced a governmental program i today as a medium of obtaining "a restoration of long term coufi deuce.” He directed a four-square attack I specifically at the president's Mon- : day night address in Baltimore and assailed new deal activities as de- ’ straying “confidence in the future.” Hoover charged that the president once again is urging an unemployment relief program that already has proved a failure as an i emergency measure in advocating shorter hours without pay reduc--1 tlons as a measure for reducing hunemployment, Mr. Roosevelt ■ "finds himself on the horns of a dilemna," he said. As an alternative to the DemoI cratic plan, Hoover suggested: “(A) Reduce government exi penses. (B) Balance the budget. (C) Establish a real currency. <D) Stop these movements and threats of inflation. "Then we would get a restoration of long term confidence,” he | said. “We would secured long time capital. We would create new enterprise, new employment, new jobs, it would start replacement of worn out plants. It would give the sinews and start the buildi ing of much needed and better I homes.” He said the administration's shorter-hours plan “as a long view development in American life, is j the most desirable end.” "But as an emergency measure ' it was tried and failed two years ago," he said. "In seeking this method of solution the president finds himself on the horns of a dilemna. As a sudden measure, if weekly wages are to be maintained with less ! work hours, then costs and prices are increased, thereby decreasing consumption and jobs are lost. "On the other hand, if hours be reduced and wages by reduced proportionately, then the buying power of the workers is diminished. and consumption and jobs are less.” I). C.
