MIEHLKE, ELLA, 19 years old, 3820 South Albany avenue sister injured. The l. VV. "W. are bkunod for the outrage.

who spread in their automobiles over all parts of the city. That the I. W. W. were responsible for the placing of the bomb was flatly stated by Phillip J. Barry, acting head of the department of justice, in the absence of Hinton G. Clabaugll.

Mr. P»arry said "This outrage. In my opinion, was inevitable as an act of reprisal on the part of the I. "VV. W., following the sentencing of ninety-three of their members. "We are certain that the W. W. committed this deed. "In all there are about 1,500 operatives working on the case. Many of these will be from the American Protective league. All persons known to be radical will be brought In and questioned. Visits will al«o be made to the haunts of persons who are known to have sentiments against the war. Several arrests have been made, and we are questioning the prisoners as fast as we can. I believe that the bomb was composed of nitroglycerin."

JUDGE COX'S POSITION.

Says Wish for His Retirement ProbI .ably Farther of Thought. .Tttflge John R. Cox said Thursday that he had authorized no one to say that he exported to retire from the race for Superior judge and declared that the wish for his retirement "was probably father of the thought." An anonymous campaign through the mails has bpen going on for the past two weeks, business and professional men and voters generally being mailed cards from some unknown source, all attacking Judge Cox personally. The-.-^mpaign has been generally dendunced by all citizens who have been gratuitously placed on the mailing list.

Judge Cox said: "I did not expect to exert myself in a political campaign, considering the interest of every citizen in the war. but this attack in the dark has determined me to do all I can to he elected to office. So you can say that I have not retired, but am very much in the campaign from this time forward."

TO BEFOEM SCHOOL.

Young Girl Shows Herself to Be Bad Actor. T^elia Crews, 14 years old, of West Terre Haute, was taken 'to the girls' reform school Wednesday afternoon after causing the police of this city much worry and trouble for the last two months. Recently the girl started on a unping trip down the river and instead of going to the place where she informed her parents she had started, she went to another place, and for several days the police were k*ept busy searching for her.

Later the girl secured employment in a local poultry house and then went to the home of Mrs. P. H. Jett, on North Ninth street. After working there for a few days she departed with a few personal belongings and was later found in a roftm at 229 North Ninth street. The mother and father of the girl told the officers that she was incorrigible and that they ha.d no control over her.

DENOUNCES THE PRESIDENT.

Says President Is Playing Politics in War Work. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 5 Lawrence Y. Sherman, senator from Illinois, who imagines he looks like Abraham Lincoln, made an attack on President Wilson today for "playing politics." In a speech on the senate floor which interrupted regular business he said: "Sam Compers is virtually president of this nation with Burleson and McAdoo. controlling the mails and the railroads to elect a president in 1900. Worse, more rampant, rancorous partisan politics never abused the patriotism and generous confidence of a great nation. Against the clandestine partisan politics of this administration, hidden under the thick clouds of war, I raise my voice seasonably in remonstrance."

With T^aon and La Fere in French hands and the general allied lines extending north at St. Quentin, Cambrai and IJlle, the German plan of occupation in northern France would be severely tested if not completely upset.
