BOMB MEANT FOR POPE EXPLODED

It Goes Off Near High Altar Over Tomb of St. I'eter, In 8U Peter'* Church. Rome, Nov. 20. —A bomb, apparent* ly meant for the pope, exploded near the high altar, over the tomb of St. Peter, during high muss in St. Fetor's church at noon. Plus, though expected, was not present. No trace of the perpetrator of the crime has been found. Enormous crowds, gathered by the rumor that the pope was to pray at the shrine of St. Peter, lu whose honor special festival was held, thronged the basilica. Hardly lind the tremendous rending roar of the explosive died away when a wilder, louder noise arose, as these thousands, shrieking in terror, fought to escape. Women and children were trampled under foot; men strove to protect their families. Not one was seriously hurt, either by tlie bomb or In the crush. No part of the church •was damaged lu the slightest degree except a wooden scaffolding, slightly burnt. Conslderlnfg the power of the bomb, this is taken as a miracle. When the ix>pe was notified, he knelt and began to pray for the “misguided man" who had placed the bomb. Every church in Rome has been ordered to hold a three days’ service of prayer, In expiation of the Insult to religion. This explosion makes the third anarchist outrage In Italy during the past four days, The pope has received persona! letters containing threats that he will be assassinated in the apostolic palace as a protest against the present organization of society. The anarchists, it is added, are ready to employ every means to destroy all Institutions supported by religion or by military forces.

LIQUOR LAW SOUND

Court Decision on the Remonetrance Statute Hite the Booze Seller. IN TROUBLE ON A FRAUD ORDER Promoter of Colonies Is Charged with Sinuosity Edinburg’s Suburb Podges Edinburg’s Ordnances. Indianapolis, Nov. 23.—The supreme court holds that the Moore law, providing for “blanket remonstrances'' against granting saloon licenses to any and all applicants in a township or ward Is valid. The court also holds that such a remonstrance may be signed by an attorney holding separate powers of attorney from eadh of the voters he represents, which have been sent to him by letter or postal card; that after the remonstrance has once taken effect voters cannot afterward withdraw their names to favor an applicant for license at a future term, and that a sufficient remonstrance, once filed, cuts off all right of the commissioners to Issue a license to anybody for two years.

Denials Can Also lie Made. But it decides that each applicant lu turn may deny that the remonstrance bears the requisite number of names, or that It was really signed by the persons whose names it bears or by their attorney, or that such persons are’ legal voters or a majority of the legal voters of the township or ward. It holds that each applicant is entitled to his “day In court” to controvert the filing of a legal remonstrance, but If the fact that a legal remonstrance was duly filed is shown, he cannot obtain a license.
