The festivities of St. Johns' Eve were interrupted by the explosion of three dynamite bombs of enormous dimensions, placed by unknown hands in different parts of the city, outside three printing offices of which the printers are on strike.

ing, of course for an estimated 11.-1 000,000 now hidden and to encourage! the deposit of such money in postal savings banks at a 3 per cent interest rate. As soon as legislation has been obtained from congress to increase the interest rate from 2 to 3 per cent he will begin on a nation-wide campaign to promote thrift and increase in postal savings deposits. He declared that only two savings banks in the country, except two in Indiana, have offered criticism to the proposal. Plana Furthered at Dinner His plan for important changes affecting postal savings was given big impetus at last night's dinner, Ht which Mr. Hays was host and cabinet members, senators, representatives, bankers and others were guests.

It took a forty-year campaign to give the nation the postal savings law.

The legislation was long fought by savings banks, which feared that postal savings would be destructive to their business. But experience ha3 shown that their fears were unfounded. Among those present at the Hays dinner was John J. Pullyn, president of the Immigrant Industrial - Savings bank of New York, the largest savings bank in the country. He readily gave

his full approval to the plan to increase the interest rate on postal savings deposits. He said every encour

agement to thrift is helpful to all savings banks. . Out to Deplete Stockings "We intend to conduct a campaign

CLAIM CIVIL SERVICE SLIGHTS REPUBLICANS

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 28. Because of complaints that only Democrats were receiving from the civil service commission, application blanks with which candidates for appointment to postmasterships in various localities may prepare themselves for examination and qualification. Postmaster General Hays announced today that an additional list of names now in preparation would be furnished the commission.

The lists now being used by the commission were built up largely from official sources created in the last eight years under the Wilson administration, Mr. Hays said, adding that some justification might exist for the complaints. The additional names however, will merely supplement the list already in use by the civil service commission.

good of business," said Mr. Hays at

his conference with newspaper men this afternoon. "Money hidden away is unsafe and does little good. Money deposited in postal banks is redeposited by the government in local banks and thus business gets the use of the money. The postal banks were neglected during the war, but we now propose to give every encouragement to the postal savings system." Seventy per cent of postal deposits are made by foreign-born citizens who first learned to use the postal banks when in Europe. A recent report on Indiana showed that postal deposits were larger in the smaller Lake county towns, where many foreign-born

live, than in the larger city of Indi

anapolis. -Postal savings now are received by

only 6,300 postoffices. Mr. Hays pro

poses to extend ' this to 50,000 post offices.

fBy Associated Press) BOSTON, July 28. Song and story are wrong. 'Captain Kidd was not a pirate and his fabled treasure does not exist. Privateersman he was, but of good repute. His hanging as a pirate and murderer on Execution Dock at1 London in 1701 was to satisfy the political exigencies of the time.

These are tne findings of John H. Edmonds, state archivist for Massachusetts, as announced in a lecture at

the Old South Meeting house. Archi

vist Edmonds was discussing "Lord

Bellomont and the Pirates."

Bellomont, he said, was appointed

governor of New England in 1695 with

a special mission to suppress piracy. Included High Officials. "Before leaving England," Mr. Edmonds contended, '"he agreed with Captain William Kidd, a privateersman of good repute from New York, to proceed against pirates in a ship called the Adventure Galley, on a 'no-capture-no-pay basis. The adventurers included Captain Kidd, Robert Livingston, Lord Chancellor Somers, the Earl of Oxford (First Lord of the Admiralty) the Earl of Romney and the Duke of Shrewsbury (Secretaries of State). Bellomont and the straw men, to whom the king's grant of treasure was later made, did not contribute a cent." "On September 6, 1696, with a 'crazy' vessel and a crazier crew, Cap

tain Kidd proceeded on his mission." the archivist said. He picked up several pirates Including "a Moorish ship

of 200 tons and a Bengal merchantman of 500 tons, both having French passes and being lawful prizes." He came to New York and then fo Boston "through the trickery of Bellomont, who promised him safe conduct. With the remnant of his crew he was arrested, sent to England, tried for murder and piracy, convicted and hung on Execution Dock, Friday, May 23, 1701, to satisfy the political exigencies of the times. It was either Lord Bellomont,- the Lord Chancellor, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Secretaries of State or Captain Kidd, and under this circumstance he had no chance. Victim of Frameup

Collusion and perjury are. plainly

evident in his trial; the French passes which would have cleared him of the

piracy charge, though produced in Parliament, were suppressed in the

Admiralty Court. The least said about Bellomont's action in the matter the better. He fooled Kidd, he fooled his council, and worst of it is, he allowed it in his letters to the lords of trade. "The Captain Kidd of today is a composite pirate made up of all who frequented our shores from 1637 to 1837. Propaganda of the worst kind blackened the reputation of a man of whom a recognized French authority says: 'It may be well doubted whether any man in equally trying circumstances has ever been truer to his trust. ' "And yet the great American public persists in calling Captain Kidd a pirate and in searching for his treasure, which does not exist."

VIEWS OF BUSINESS MEN CONFLICT ON IMPORT DUTY BASIS WASHINGTON. July 28. Views of business men on the American valuation provisions in the Fordney tariff bill were given to the senate finance committee Wednesday and support and condemnation of the plan came alternately. The day'3 testimony marked sharply the line between the domestic manufacturer and the importer, the

former supporting and the latter denouncing the proposal to change the basis of duties assessment. The committee was told by Jacob De Jong, New York manufacturer, that the claims of the plan's opponents that It would result disastrously to most lines of import was untenable. He declared that on the basis of last year's imports, less than $1,000,000,000 worth of the commodities brought in would be materially affected. Values Very Similar. Sugar, raw silks, hides, unmanufactured rubber and wool were cited as commodities whose American valuation is approximately the world valuation.

POSTOFFICE URGED

TO GUT EXPENDITURES

A notice has been received at the

urging the postoffice to cut expenditures to the minimum, and to practice, the greatest economy possible. .Postmaster Beck stated that this had always been the custom of the local office, but that even greater care would be practiced.

000.000,000; the interest alone on this

vast sum is nearly $1,000,000,000 annually. The annual budget is now
