ACCUSE ANARCHISTS OF TRYING TO WRECK BIG POLICE STATION ' NEW YORK. July 6. With only one
prisoner as a result of many hours of
investigation of the bomb explosion
that damaged police headquarters last
night, the police declared today that the outrage was committed by the same band of anarchists who attempt
ed to blow up St Patrick's cathedral
and the home of Andrew Carnegie.
' The solitary prisoner is John Koas,
a young Austrian. He was held on a
charge of vagrancy and the police ad
mitted today they had no evidence to connect him with the explosion. The man who actually set off the
bomb Is believed to have been accompanied by two young women. Two nolice women who were fifty .feet
from the scene of the explosion, recalled that after the blast they saw the trio walking toward the corner of Grand and Center streets. The young man kept peering back anxiously toward the basement in which the explosion occurred. The policemen who saw him said he wore a grey suit and that his women companions were stylishly dressed. The police believe that the women, also members of the anarchists' band acted as lookouts for the man who placed the bomb. Their descriptions were sent to all stations today. CARRANZA RESENTS WILSON'S OVERTURES VERA CRUZ, July 6 Qen. Venustlano Carranza, leader of the Constitutionalists, "will not life a finger to unite the warring factions in Mexico" and furthermore he recents the attitude of the United States toward his government. He questions the right of President Wilson to "meddle in Mexican affairs." These were the sentiments expressed by the first chief of the Constitutionalists to John R. SiUlman, the special representative of President Wilson at a recent conference held here. Mr. SiUlman urged on Carranza to take the first step in a movement toward the arbitration of Mexican differences. The conference is said to have led to heated words during which Carranza showed the American emissary to the door with little ceremony. Mr. Silliman's visit was made on orders from the state department. Carranza was informed that the Constitutionalists would be expected to take the initiative in a peace movement.

But in the light of what he saw, the honeyed words froze on his lips and the honeyed gifts Love's ammunition for the bombardment of sweet maidens' hearts fell from his nerveless hands. Her kisses then are not for him and he has loved in vain !

titMlTCHELU PALME
According to the belief in offical clrstate department to succeed Robert Lansing lies between John' W. Davis, of West Virginia, now solictor general of the United States, and A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, who was appointed a Judge of the Court of Claims, but has not taken the oath of office. It is the impression here that if Mr. Davis is made counsellor Mr. Palmer will have a chance to become solicitor general.
BY EDGAR ILIFF. As a boy it was my good fortune to ride over Indiana turnpikes and mud roads with a lightning rod agent. He bad a warm heart and a broad mind. As we drove along it seemed that everybody knew him and he knew everybody. Not a man, woman or child passed us by but he had a cheerful saluation for each. The very sheep on the road and the cows and horses in the pastures appeared to recognize him and say "good morning." It is this broad gractousness of our Hoosier life, this right royal bonhomie of the road, that is so admirable. The law of the road to keep to the right, respect your fellowman and speali neighborly to every passerby is founded upon that common sense of justice underlying all orderly government,
for government Is nothing more than j two men, or three men, or a hundred '
men, talking over their affairs. Government is not an abstract thing locked up in vaults in the capital cities. It is Tom and Bill and Jake and Abner that's all there is to it. Drinks Morning Air. My lightning rod friend sniffed the fresh morning air like a healthy animal and took in big drafts of it as though It were nectar of the gods. Indeed it was olympian nectar, this pure east breeze blowing from Aurora's realms and gathering as it came the fragrance of new mown hay, clovertops and yellow grain. Not a house did we pass but he knew its inmates and history, and he seemed to know only good things about people. He greeted every farmer by his first name. Being so well known I wondered why he didn't "run for office;" that malady which stings so many to madness had never touched him. He said the highest office' to him was that of a free citizen. He said it was greater than kingship or thrones. Ho said it was the duty of every American citizen to make his personality felt in politics without itching for office. He spurned office, yet had a deep and abiding interest in public affairs. The ancient Greeks voted with beans. When a certain respectable and cultured class arose and despised politics the proverb came In, "Abstain from beans." It means today, "Don't vote. Cut out politics." Refrain From Voting.
Such a class has arisen among us. We call them "stay-at-homes." They denounce political corruption, yet never come out to vote. On Fifth
avenue. New York, there are three solid miles of brown stone fronts, and at a recent election this district cast only twenty-eight votes, but - in the long miles of saloons and tenements every man voted. When "resftectability" holds aloof and evil organizes something must happen. But the evil is not the "saloon in politics," "the foreign vote," nor the , "ward boss" alone. 'It begins higher up. The political broker and jobber hides himself in the church, adorns himself inj the cloak of respectability and se-1
cretly organizes the forces
him money. The foreianer is
not the festering sore of our political life.' Philadelphia has the smallest foreign-born population of any large city In the United States. Yet it is the most corrupt. The most dangerous and corrupt factors In our scheme of government are the eminently respectable American citizens who are the men behind the guns of public venality. These things exist not because the low and vicious are In the majority. Evil is always a minority. Evil is bold and organizes for business. It threatens the stability of municipal government everywhere, and it feeds, fattens and, despoils by the sufferance of public apathy. An American with no conception of his political responsibilities is the monstrosity of the age. He is a perversity of nature than those old hermits who thought they served God best by shunning men and going to caves and deserts to live on roots and grass. The stay-at-home citizen is as bad as the man who made every kind of trivial excuse against enlisting when the war for the Union was fought. An old New England farmer once asked the parson to bless his barren land. The preacher looked over the fence across the field and said: "This land doesn't need prayer. It needs manure." Real Worth Counts. The growling of the common people over the crookedness of parties and leaders is always a good sign. Your beefy, stout hearted neighbor, who perhaps can read and write but poorly, knows justice from injustice, corruption from clean ways and his big voice is worth a thousand puny citizens who are so respectable that they droop and fade away before every yawp of organized wrong, every yell of organized venality and every shriek of organized vice. Book learning is a good thing If there is a man behind it, but there had to be strong men before histories could be written. It is a bad thing for us politically and socially when wrong has all the backbone and right can muster nothing but puerile book learning and timid theorists, and any system of education which adds only dry knowledge and indoor pipe dreams and weakens out-door, on-the-street manly courage and public spirit is a delusion. The world does not demand that you be mayor, councilman or con
gressman, or that you .shove yourself
forward as a shining deacon in a sleek church, but it does demand that you blow a blast upon whatever trumpet
God has given you, and to blow it lustily and honestly though heaven's arch breaks. To bury the trumpet and sneak behind a rampart, and then smile angelically upon a struggling world, is a cowardice which entitles you to be shot.

RUSSIANS DENY LINE BROKEN BY GERMANS
PETROGRAD, July 6. Austrian claims that the Russian army had been pierced were officially denied at the war office today, though it was admitted that the Austro-German forces had made further gains on the Kras-nic-River-Vietrz front. The Russian military authorities assert that Duke Nicholas still holds an unbroken front and that his retreat under the continual attacks of the Teutonic troops has been successfully conducted. It is believed here that the decisive battle in Poland soon will be fought for Warsaw. The evacuation of Ivangorod as a strategic necessity is considered possible.
RENDERS JUDGMENT AGAINST COMPANY

In issuing the decree, Justice Strayer said the check was not negotiable before the law and that it could not have been cashed by another man if found. The suit was instituted Saturday.
