Salisbury.—Senator Lee S. Over^
man witnessed the destruction of s
deadly bomb that had been sent him
through the malls from New York and
which has been held up in the Salis
bury poetoffice until Inspector H. T.
Gregory arrived and officiated at the
blowing up of the bomb.
For several days. Senator Overman's
two daughters, who were married,
have been receiving so many presents
through the mails that several deliv
eries were made at the Overman home
each day.. The local office planned to
make the last delivery of presents af
ter the early night trains had run, but
most fortunately not enough packages
arrived on the trains to justify a spe
cial trip. So the deadly bomb lay in
the office. In the morning a survey
of the parcels ready to he sent to the
senator’s home disclosed a small box
that answered in every particular the
description of the “Gimbel” bombs, in
tercepted in New York. It was with-
drawn from the mails-ca ref.ully. and
immediately became the center of in
terest for the entire city.
Senator Overman, Postmaster Boy«i
den. Assistant Rattz and several oth
ers accompanied Inspector Gregory
to the edge of town where the bomb
was buried and 10 dynamite caps ex
ploded under It tearing one side away
and disclosing the interior.
Senator Overman had no warning to
look out for the infernal machine. He
had been bnsy with the happy event
of the evening and was not informed
of the wholesale despatch of the in
struments of death from New York.
Had the bomb been sent to the Over
man home it would have arrived when
the house was full of townspeople and
visitors attending the wedding recep
tion and would doubtless have been
opened along with the wedding pres
ents.
MAYOR OLE HANSON WANTS
GOVERNMENT TO ACT QUICKLY
Topeka, Kan.—In a Victory loan ad
dress before the Topeka chamber of
commerce, Mayor Ole Hanson, of Se
attle. denounced the policy pursued
by the government towards anarchism
and the I. W. W. as “a skim milk,
weak, vacillating and changeable’ one,
and pronounced a warning of a "wide
spread, national effort to overthrow
the government and society by vio
lence.”
Revealing great emotion in his sub
ject, he added, "If the government
doesn’t clean them up, I will. • I’ll give
up my mayorship and start through
the country. We will hold meetings
and have hanging places.” He declared
he believed the I. W. W. was at the
bottom of the late bomb plot.
"The conspiracy to overthrow the
government is widespread. It perme
ates every state in the union. Ths
I. W. W. have followers everywhere.
Concerning the bending i. w. W. con
vention, Mayor Hanson said:
— A ‘Arry mayor that WiTT permit an X
W. W. meeting in his city should be
recalled and banished from America.

OPENING PRELIMINARIES
TO VERSAILLES CONFERENCE
Paris.—Ambassador Page telegraph
ed from Rome that he had gathered
from Premier Orlando in a long con
ference that the premier did not in
tend to return to Paris for the signing
of the peace treaty. The premier ex
pressed regret that the time was so
short before the arrival of the Ger
mans.
This was only one of the disturbing
complications presented by~lhe Italian
situation aa the time approaches for
the delivery of the peace treaty to
the Germans.
The Italian premier, the telegram
from Ambassador Page added, felt
that his action either way would have
serious consequences, but it was pref
erable to have trouble from without
Italy rather than from within Italy.
Ambassador Page said he had taken
steps to have the Italian authorities
suppress manifestations directed
against President Wilson. As a re
sult, one of the-, principal demonstra-
timiB Ja Btmm wAS-given-^up, —-
Should Premier Orlando not return
for the signing of the treaty, it wodTLl
give the situation a more serious as
pect than the departure of the Italian
delegation, as the allies would be re
quired to take final action without the
participation of Italy. While there is
every desire to avoid this result, the
indications are that the allies will
proceed with the signing if Italy de
cides to withhold participation.
DICKMAN WILL 8UPPRE88 ALL
HUN MAY DAY CELEBRATIONS
Coblenc.—There will be no May Day
celebrations in the way of demonstra
tions or mass meetings by Germans
throughout, the area occupied by the
Americans. General Dickman has is
sued an order to that effect and we
shall be saved the public exhibition
of a particularly fine piece of German
propaganda. The Americans were not
unwilling at first tolillow a demonstra
tion, but when they discovered the in
scriptions on banners to be carried in
the proposed procession, they prompt
ly decided May Day should pass with
out manifestations.
"We want just peace. We insist
on President Wilson’^ 14 points.”
These and similar demands were to
be waved as of benefit not only to the
Germans, hot particularly to the
Americans. It is said a banner which
Insisted the Haar valjey should re
main German earned intervention by
the American army command.
That all th^s was inspired by the
authorities in Berlin there is not the
slightest doubt.
INFERNAL MACHINE < SENT TO
EX-UNITED STATES SENATOR
The peace congress at Versailles
has formally begun its sessions. The
eventful day which the world had
awaited since the signing ofthe armla
tice on November 11 last year has at
last arrived.
The German peace delegates have
met the representatives of the allied
and associated powers and across the
green baise table have carried out the
first preliminary which probably will
mean a return to actual peace In the
not far distant future.
Atlanta, Ga.—Mrs. Maude P. Hard
wick, wife of former United States
Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, was
painfully injured and her negro maid
sufrered the loss of both hands in the
explosion here of an infernal machine
sent through the mails to the home of
the former - Georgia^ senator. He was
at his law office at the time.
The package, bearing the typewrit
ten address "Senator Thomas W.
Hardwick, Sandersville, Ga.,” was
marked “Sample” and had a wrapper
bearing a return address of "Gimbel
Brothers, 32nd and Broadway. New
York.” This caused Mrs. Hardwick
to.think it was some merchandise.
Attention was called to the fact that
an infernal machine received through
the mails at the office of Mayor Ole
Hanson, in Seattle, Washington, also
came from New York and bore the
return address of “Novelty Depart
ment, Gimbel Bros., New York city.”
GOVERNMENT FORCES ARE
CLOSING AROUND MUNICH
Berne.—Reports received from Ba
varia says the government forces are
steadily closing around Munich.
When Wurttemburg troops occupied
Starnburg the civil population was ia
an angry mood against the commun
ists and acts of violence were com
mitted upon them. The populace at
tacked prisoners in the hands of ths
government troops and thirteen of ths
communist leaders were s)iot.

Dear Amy:--*
My life was a burden to me,a long time. Baby
John just cried and cried. I didn’t know what was
the matter. He was also looking pale and his food
didn’t agree with him. I didn’t know it, but he
needed air and sunshine. So I went and bought him
a new go-cart. Now he smiles and is fat and rosy.
You just must come and see him.
