BOMB BURSTS IN HERRICK S PARIS HOUSE

Ambassador Reaches House Two Minutes After Explosion Attack Follows Threatening Letters. PERIL IN WPACKAGE (By Associated Press) PARIS, Oct. 19. A bomb exploded today in the house of .Myron T. Herrlck American ambassador, seriously injuring the valet who opened the package containing it. The room in which the explosion occurred was wrecked. Ambassador Herrick arrived at the house two minutes after the bomb blew up. The receipt of the bomb followed threatening letters which have been coming to the ambassador in the last few days in connection with the case of two Italians recently convicted of murder in Massachusetts. The bomb was contained in a carefully made package addressed personally to the ambassador who, it appears, might well have opened it himself as it seemed to be a gift designed for him. Detectives at Work The ambassador's valet, however, happened to see the package and opened it to save Mr. Herrick the trouble. It was during the afternoon that the package was delivered. Immediately after the explosion Ambassador Herrick went to the hotel Crillon where General Pershing is stopping. The prefect of police Joined the general and the ambassa dor there and this evening they were conferring on the case while the en tire detective service of Paris was at work in an attempt to trace the origin of the bomb. Considerable damage was done the ambassador's residence outside of the room where the explosion occurred as well as within It.

RICHMOND TUBERCULOSIS FATALITIES FIFTH HIGHEST AMONG 67 CITIES IN THREE STATES

PAI.I,DirM SEWS BVRtAU WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 Citizens of Wayne county, Indiana, who have been advocating the erection of a county hospital for tuberculosis victims will be interested in a report which has been issued by the United States Public Health Service on statistics compiled for 1920 showing that the number of deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis per 1,000 inhabitants in Richmond for that year was fifth highest among 67 Indiana, Ohio and Illi nois cities having populations of more than 10,000 and less than 100,000. The report does not include statistics for the entire county of Wayne. The 1920 death rate for the white plague in Richmond last year was 1.04. The four Ohio valley cities which had higher death rates were New Albany, Indiana, rate 1:30; Portsmouth, Ohio, rate 1.10; Jeffersonville, Indiana, rate 1.09; Waukegan, Illinois, rate 1.08.

Austri i and Hungary were ratified by the senate in a session last night, the vote being 66 to 20. or 8 more than the necessary two-thirds, while the opposition on the Hungarian treaty was reduced to 17. The action completed the administration's immediate peace program, but after the formal exchange of ratifications between the powers it is expected that diplomatic officers will be appointed and normal relations fully resumed through negotiation of trade agreements and in other ways which have not yet been announced. Both Germany and Austria already have accepted and ratified the treaties and parliamentary action is expected to be completed by Hungary at an early date. Unexpected Margin. Ratification by the United States senate had been accepted as a foregone conclusion but the final vote showed if anything, a larger margin for the treaties than had been anticipated by some. Fourteen Democrats supported ratification on the final roll call, while only two Republicans, Senators Borah and LaFollette cast their votes against the treaties. With the treaties disposed of, tho senate was expected to resume consideration today of the tax revision bill in the hope of disposing of It before the end of the month. Exchange of ratifications at Berlin of the ' treaty of Berlin" finally establishing peace between the United States and Germany is to be the next step in ending the nations legal war status. Following ratification last night by the senate of the German and also the Austrian and Hungarian peace treaties, the state? department today was in position to proceed with the last formalities. Appointment of diplomatic officer, however, was not anticipated for several weeks at least. FIRE CHIEF URGES WASTE EE GIVEN TO DAY NURSERY The following statement, has been issued by Fire-Chief Ed.

New York arose bright and early today to give a thunderous welcome to General Armando Diaz, Italy's "man of destiny." Destroyers and seaplanes journeyed down the harbor to greet the Guiseppe Verdi bringing to those shores the man who commanded the armies of Italy during the world war and who has come to join his American buddies at their legion's convention in Kansas City. Army and navy might pay their salute with roaring cannon, but New York's little Italy insisted on greeting its hero in its own way. Down to Battery Park tramped the swarthy sons of that boot-shaped peninsula that thrusts its toe into the Mediterranean. On the tip of Manhattan island they took their stand, facing the Statue of Liberty, to shout their "bracos!" where their idol stepped ashore. But while the bulk of the welcoming army held its position at the Battery, the vanguard embarked on a municipal ferry, to flounder down the bay in the wake of the swift destroyers to bear greetings to the general even before he set foot on the new world. Revealed Genius Italy's picturesque military leader received his opportunity to reveal his genius during his country's darkest

con-'hour after the Caporetto disaster on

the Izonso front in Oct. 1917 in which 200,000 Italian soldiers and 700 guns were captured by the Austro-Germans. While the world expected Italy's collapse after this staggering defeat General Diaz appointed the following month commander in chief to succeed General Cadorna, struck blow after blow and with British and French aid, drove the Invader back. RAIL HEADS ASSERT WAGES MUST BE CUT FOR SAKE OF PUBLIC (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Oct. 19. "The association of railway executives today announced that its members deplore the disturbance to the morale of their organization involved in threats of strike far more than they fear the; result of an attempt to carry out such threats." In a statement given out by its chairman, Thomas DeWitt Tyler, tho association declared that railroad managements "deprecate the necessity of reducing wages" and are not "seeking to place the whole burden of the present situation on labor." Railroad owners, too, the statement asserted, had made sacrifices and aro "not making high charges against the public on one hand, refusing on tha other to pay high wages to their men." "The public," the statement continued, 'is the real paymaster and the public simply cannot pay rates which are necessitated by present labor costs." The statement ended with a digest of statistics on 1921 earnings of the roads, tending to show that but for drastic reduction in expenditures foi maintenance the roads would have had an actual deficit of more than $70,000,000 for the first eight, months. Jenkins Vulcan to Hold Employes' Positions Open Relative to a possible suspension of operations at the Jenkins Vulcan Spring company, if a railroad strike becomes effective, T. B. Jenkins of the company said Wednesday that he wished to correct the impression that employes would be dismissed in that eventuality. "In case of a strike," he said, "we would be forced to suspend operations, but all positions of our employes would be held open until the resumption of railroad transportation! would enable us to re-employ them. We feel that our employes are loyal to us and we hoM. their loyalty in high esteem."

LAW OR CHAOS SEEN AS ISSUE IN RAIL STRIKE

Only Question Now Whether Bill n j rotherhOOdS Or UOVem-, ment Shall Be Master, Says Mark Sullivan. AUTHORITYBFLOUTED By MARK Sl"IXI VAN -WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 The crux of this railroad situation is so clear that one strong note should be sounded loud enough to be heard above all the clatter of controversy. There was never a situation easier to analyze. It all began last Friday. "Until that day," says the labor board, "there was little if any danger of a railroad strike. iow wnat was it mat nappenea De-; tween noon of Friday and the suddens wild alarm in the Sunday morning pa-J pers? As to this, too, there fortun ately is indisputable evidence. The union chiefs heard that the railroad owners were going to apply to the labor board to authorize a new 10 per cent reduction in wages.

The mere abruptness of the strike order , eviueuce or me rasn ana impetu-j ous state of mind of those who issued it. The violent haste was inconsistent with wisdom. And the thing goes deeper than that. The union chiefs had a clear alternative provided by law. They had a right to appeal to the labor board and proceed through the orderly processes of law to a judgment which would not have been handed down for many weeks, during which the public could have followed the rights and wrongs of the case. This alternative was not merely the right of the unions, but was their statutory duty. The labor board is a court set up by act of congress to hear and decide just such disputes. The union leaders not only ignored this court, but flouted it. This is the heart of their offending. That is the thing the public can not afford to tolerate. Board Loses Prestige. Unhappily at this point a certain amount of blame passed to the labor board itself.

Senator Nelson, complained about the supreme court decision, holding that bonds issued by state and subdivisions were tax-exempt, while Senator Watson said the decision of the court in the stock dividend case was j regarded by "all lawyers as a perfect- ; ly rotten decision."

STATE BANK ORDERED NOT TO TAKE DEPOSITS (By Associated Press) JAMESTOWN, N. D., Oct. 19 The state-controlled Bank of North Dakota, Governor Lynn J. Frazier and other officials of the state and the bank, today were under injunction not to receive deposits of public or private funds in the bank under the terms of a temporary order by Judge J. A. Coffey, in Stutsman county dis trict court, served on the governor 1 late last night. j The injunction was issued on a petition of a number of taxpayers in ! this vicinity, alleging that the bank is insolvent. Hearing on a permanent order was set for November 3. The injunction came on the heels of a statement by officials of the bank asserting that state bonds totalling $6,100,000 had been sold of which a large part would be available for farm loans and to take up advances to other state projects, the state flour mill and elevator and home building schemes. State officials affected by the injunction declared it was a political move by their opponents to affect the recall election directed against Governor Frazier and others, scheduled for Oct. 28. The recall is aimed at several officials elected with the in dorsement of the non-partisan league, j

HARDING PRONOUNCES ENDURING FRIENDSHIP WITH GREAT BRITAIN

Surrounded by high officials of his administration and standing within sight of the spot where Cornwallis laid down his sword in 1781 the president declared in deliberately chosen words a sentiment of peaceful relationship between the two great English speaking nations for all time to come. That either should ever again lift the sword against the other he said must be "unthinkable".

The organization of the national advisory committee on limitation of armaments called by President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor was completed today and a decision reached to set up a permament organization in Washington during the period of the peace conference. A declaration of purpose was adopted by the delegates to the session declaring it was not the purpose to suggest definite proposals to end war. "The United States alone and single handed cannot best serve the great cause of peace by disarming," the declaration said. "Great armies and navies are not the chief causes of war. The limitation of armament is a good thing it itself. It is a long step toward but it is not peace. The causes of war lie far deeper. "The agenda of the coming international conference gives us reasons to believe that together with the limitation of armaments some of the causes of war will be considered." The committee discussed a proposal to establish In Washington a $25,000 exhibit for gravic presentation of arguments for armaments reduction.

SEE CHANCE OF STRIKE BY OTHER ORDERS Speculate on Assembly Call for Committee of Railway Employes' Department of Federation of Labor. HAS WALKOUT POWER

(Ry Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 19. Developments in the possibilities of a strike order by others of the 16 standard labor organizations besides the five train ger. . . . mJvl ies were seen today in a call for assembly tomorrow of the confer ence committee of 100 of the railway employes department of the federation of labor. This committee has full power to order a strike of the six shop crafts. No final action was expected, however, before Friday, according to B. M. Jewell, president of the department. The first of a series of conferences at which representatives of all factions in the railroad strike situation may decide the outcome of the strike call issued by the big four brotherhoods for Oct. 30. began here today, to continue over the week end. Three group meetings are scheduled: 1. Executives of the shopmen, maintenance of way workers, clerks, telegraphers and others meet today, tomorrow, Friday and Sunday to decide their attitude toward the announced strike of the train service employes, with indications of a final decision at a joint conference Sunday. 2. Brotherhood leaders are on their way here to hear the government's attitude through the railroad labor board tomorrow. 3. Railroad executives of the central division meet Friday in Chicago to discuss all phases of the strike situation, while executives of other divisions meet simultaneously in their own regions. ...... Freight rate reductions approximately equivalent to the 12 per cent wage reduction ordered last July 1, by the railroad labor board were indii cated as the probable basis suggestion the labor board will propose, with the backing of the administration to avert the strike. "I understand," said Commissioner Ben W. Hooper, a member of the public" group of the labor board, "that the interstate commerce commission has a number of important rate reduction cases on hand, on which it will act immediately. That will give us something to work on." The board's policy, as outlined by Commissioner Hooper, would propose to the brotherhood chiefs immediate suspension of the strike order on their part and their influence in preventing other walkouts, while the executives would be asked to concede the withdrawal of the proposed request for further wage cuts and grant an immediate reduction of freight rates. Petitions Freight Cut. President J. R. Howard, of the Farm Bureau federation, today had on file before the interstate commerce commission here a petition for a 10 to 28 percent freight rate reduction on necessities of life, and at the same time he telegraphed union leaders and railroad executives urging them to join him in a conference here. Failure of the brotherhood chiefs to join a strike agreement with the 11 other railroad unions' at a conference here last week has made uncertain the outcome of their strike conferences here beginning today. Referendum votes have authorized the leaders of the maintenance of way men and shop men, who meet here today and tomorrow to call a strike at their discretion but shop crafts leaders have summoned their executive council and executives of the maintenance of way union have called gen eral chairmen of their 12 divisions. Membership of these two and others of the 11, organizations which have not issued 6trlke notices number 1,500,000 as compared with half a million in the train service group now under instructions for sectional walkout6 beginning Oct. 30. No Decision Yet. Officials of the telegraphers have scheduled a meeting here Friday, and the clerks, Sunday. No definite decision, leaders of these 11 unions Indicated, will be made before the end of the week. While prospects for settlement of the strike were growing brighter, army officials, it is understood, wero making preparations for operating trains with federal troops. Dispatches from San Antonio saM officers of the Eighth corps area, in the southwest, had been instructed to compile and forward to Washington, lists of all officers and enlisted men with experience in 26 lines of railroad work. Southwestern roads largely comprise the group under instructions to walk out the first day of the strike, and it was understood that it was thu preponderance of votes favoring a strike by the brotherhoods, came from this section. Evenly Divided. Sentiment among employes of eastern roads, it is understood was much more evenly divided on the strike question, so much so that the proposed strike on the Pennsylvania and the Erie were deferred from the first day until the fourth day, because of doubt, among the union leaders as . to the response of the men to the strike order. . ' ; Army officers at Fort Sheridan, headquarters of the Sixth corps aroa said today they had received no Instructions from Washington to pre pare lists or men with ranroaa experience, but that 1 000 men were available there for any duty.
