ATTEMPT IS MADE TO

Fuse Is Found in Four Rooms, While Carpets and Rugs Are Sat-

urated With Coal Oil.

By Special Correspondent. CLINTON, Ind., Aug. 13.—It has been discovered that the laying of a fuse through Mike Drecht's home, at Centenary, Monday night, and which at that time was thought by the Clinton police to be a joke, has been found to be an attempt evidently to destroy the home. The floor had been saturated with coal oil and why the fire on the fuse did not set the oil afire remains a mystery. The first police report of the affair appeared to be a joke bu't when the oil was discovered in the rugs and on the floor a further investigation was conducted- The fuse had been strung in all four rooms of the house. Robbery and revenge both or robbery end a desire to cover it up are now believed to have been the motive for the deed. Drecht was in Clinton Tuesday night and stated that some clothing had been taken, and also intimated that that was not all. The damage done will amount to considerable.

LANDMARK IS MOVED.

Toll House Near Wagon Bridge Is Changed for Railroad Switch. By Special Correspondent.

CLINTON, Ind., Aug. 13—Nearly the last of the old landmarks of Clinton was removed Monday with the moving of the old toll house, which has stood at the west approach to the wagon bridge for years as a last reminder of the old toll system. Though the building was built about seventyfive years ago, it is still in excellent condition and as good as soq&e of the houses built in recent years, since the timber has become scarce and faulty. There are only two landmarks left now the "Old Ranger property," at the corner of Water and Blackman streets, which is used as a tenement house, and the old "Cabbage house," at the corner of Water and Elm streets. The block of Water street, between Vine and Mulberry, on the east side, has now b^en cleared for the new C. & E. I. switch which will be laid there.

May Enter Two Teams Here. By Special Correspondent. CLINTON, Ind., Aug. 13.—It is now likely that Clinton will have two first aid teams entered in the national tournament, which is to be held in Terre Haute next month. The teams are working hard every night under the direction of competent instructors and are whipping into good shape. Word was received here today that Mine Rescue Car No. 3 would arrive in the city on August 31 and help give the boys the finishing touches to the work.

UNITED STATES CONSULATE AT LIEGE EXPOSED TO FIRE

Should Germans Decide to Bombard City It Will Be Necessary to Change Location.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—Minister! Whitlock, at Brussels, reported to the state department today that the United States consulate at Liege was exposed to fire and if the Germans decide to bombard the city it will be necessary to move it. As yet no damage has been done.

Reports from Lisbon say all Americans in Portugal have been concentrated at 'the capital. Although no Portuguese or Spanish vessels are available for immediate transportation, Americans so far have not suffered any want and have lodged no requests forj assistance from the consul-

CABLE SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE.

Germany, Austria and Hungary Completely Cut Off. NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—The status of the Western Union Telegraph company's cable situation, resulting from the European war, was described by the company, in detail last night, and shows that the Western Union has no telegraphic connection with Germany, Austria and Hungary, while all the tables leading to other countries in the theater of war are subject to rigid censorship.

Unusual requirements regulating the sending of such messages as the company is willing to accept have been dictated by the British military authorities, it was stated, and messages which do not conform to the requirements will not be passed by the military censors who have been placed In all cable stations within British territory. Code language in cablegrams to the affected countries is barred altogether. and undoubtedly will be. the company believes, until the war is over.

RUSSIANS MINE HARBOR.

Big Fleet Engaged In Port of Vladivostok. SEUL Korea, Aug. 13.—Germans arriving here from Vladivostok leport that several Russian cruisers, ten torpedo boats and eight submarines are engaged in mining the harbor of Vladivostok. They say also that 150 German reservists and one hundred nnncombatants have left the city hut that 350 other Germans, mostly women and children, still remain there by permission of the authorities.

Bittler, Crittenberger and Cook Make the Rounds—Progressives Keep Busy.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 13.—Reports of a very optimistic nature regarding the outlook for the democratic ticket in Indiana this year were brought to headquarters of the state committee today by a number of men who have been touring Indiana for the purpose of attending organization conferences.

George Bittler, of Ft. Wayne, nominee for state treasurer Homer Cook, of Indianapolis, nominee for secretary of state, and Dale J. Crittenberger, of Anderson, nominee for auditor of state, have just completed a tour of some of the counties in the Fifth, Ninth and Tenth districts, and they report today to Chairman Korbly conditions which indicate that the democratic party is in much better shape than two years ago. Bittler, Cook and Crittenberger have been touring the districts mentioned, in an automobile, and have been talking politics with many people. They visited Warren county in the Tenth district, Fountain county in the Ninth district, Parke, Hendricks and Vermillion in the Fifth district. They attended organization meetings in all these counties.

Bittler said that all of the meetings were largely attended and that

a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested by the political workers. The reports showed that the democratic organization is in much better shape now than it was at this time two years ago. In two or three of the counties visited, the organization never has been better for the democratic party.

Bi(:tler said that the information received by the candidates was that the democratic party is holding together in fine shape and that there is nothing in the report of the republicans that hundreds of detnocrats are going to vote with that party.

Bittler said that such reports were about on a par with the reports that progressives are deserting their ranks and going back to the republican fold. He said that progressive leaders are confident that they will retain sscond place and said that the moosers are holding large meetings for organization in Vigo, Fountain, Parke and Hendricks counties this week.

Bittler said that in every county visited the democrats are pleased with the national and state administration, and are entering the campaign with the feeling that their party is not on the defensive in any sense of the word. Stories have been circulated to the effect that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction in the democratic ranks with both their state and national administrations, but the information gathered by Bittler, Cook and Crittenberger and others is Just to the contrary. The democratic candidates are planning a thorough tour of the state with the purpose of attending organization meetings prior to the opening of the campaign early In September.
