Belle , She Had a Little Lamb Till Laddie Came Along Special to Indian a tl>ai!y Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, April 1L “Ohio Belle,’’ a prize sheep from President Harding's home State failed miserably to play her part In a White House ceremony by which the President was presented a bolt of virgin wool suiting made from Ohio Belle's own clip. Led by members of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, one of whom carried the bolt of suiting under his arm. Ohio Belle appropriately followed by a lamb, appeared at the White House executive offices. While aws.-tlng the audience with the President, the farm delegation made the mistake ol permitting their charge to nibble the White House lawn in emulation of the flock kept by the former Administration. It was nothing more than pastoral scene until Laddie Boy bounced out of the office building and made known his displeasure. The barking sent Ohio Belle and her lamb scampering and all efforts of George Wilber, chairman of the delegation, to round her up in time for the presentation proved futile. White House gardeners finally hemmed her In at a hedge corner and brought her back In time for the delegation to take her away, much to the satisfaction of members of the White House menage. Ever since the advent of the Republican Administration gardeners have been busy replacing shrubs and flowers eaten up by the Wilson sheep and there stands a ukase from Mrs. Harding against all sheep inside the White House grounds.— Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

TWO PLUMBERS’ HOMES BOMBED Reign of Terror Seen in Building Trades Controversy. CHICAGO, April 11.—A campaign of terrorism against contractors actively supporting the Landis wage award, was beiieved today to have been instigated with the bombing of the homes of two plumbing contractors. The men attacked are two of the five plumbing contractors who are members of the Citizens committee organized to enforce the Landis sward. The three other members, it is said, have received anonymous threats. Henry O'C'allaghan and H. P. Reger are the men whose homes were bombed. O’Callaghan was painfully injured. Homes of both Reger and O'Callaghan were badly damaged. No one was injured at the Reger home. The Landis wage award, which several unions in the building trades industryare fighting, is the decision handed down by former Judge K. M. Landis as arbitrator of a dispute between building contractors and the unions. Wages of almost all classes r,f building workmen ■were reduced by the decision.

J. W. Cnarge and the warehouse which was first to be bombarded by the ‘‘Ghostly Shower.”

CHICO. Cal., April 11.—The “Anttgonlsh ghost" has a rival la this little California city where almost dally rock showers have for several weeks mystified investigators. Before the very eyes of Investigators and spectators who have thronged here from every section of California, rocks of various sizes up to a small boulder appear “out of nowhere.” Vainly have the police of this and other cities attempted to ascertain the source of these “rock rains.” At first little attention was given the eerie roekfest. Small boys, using some sort of a hurling device, were blamed. But when alt efforts to locate any cata-pult-like machine and when countless searches witnessed the rocks falling even as they bunted—some being struck and injured—well, the matter ceased to be a practical Joke. ROOFS DAMAGED. The original showers fell ' upon the warehouse of J. W. Charge & Son. but later other roofs were visited. Much damage was done the Charge place, windows and shingles being broken. City Marshal J. A. Peck, who has had from three to five men on watch, admits

He has Just returned a report, from which the following is an extract: “Witnesses who have seen the missiles before they bit the building testify that they seemed to come perpendicularly from above, and were first discerned at a distance of some forty feet away. I am Informed by the city officials who kept watch that their Investigations have only led to deeper mystery. “Such a phenomena, it has been previously demonstrated by occulists, may be traceable to non-buman agencies attempting to attract human attention. “Occultists are agreed that there Is In existence a psychic force or energy that can be directed by humans who know the laws of nature. Known natural laws have frequently been laughed at and transcended by such manifestations. "It Is my hope that the phenomena will continue that w* may continue an Investigation In case no natural explana-

Thus far the various investigations point otherwise.’’ V Hearing Footfalls of Bootleggers on Roof, Arrest Cause A supposed bootlegger's cache was discovered on the roof of the Indiana Market, 24 South Illinois street, by police, where fifteen empty half pint bottles were found.

READER LIKES TIMES FEATURE Says Mrs. Lieber’s Views Should Bea Political Platform. To the Editor: Mrs. Richard Lieber’s article on the Juvenile court, appearing In tho Times of April 8, Is certainly the best thing we have had on the subject for some time. Far too short as most interesting reading matter it certainly was replete with information of great value to us, who know so little of that court. I am of the firm belief that her suggestions ought to be made the platform of the candidates that may be nominated by the parties In the coming primary and I hope you will fight for It.
