Rome A bomb was exploded in
St Peters Sunday The edifice was
crowded and an indescribable scene of
confusion followed There was no
atalities
As soon as the echoes of the tre
mendous roar had ceased canon
sought by reassuring words to quiet
the people but in vain They fled in
all directions and a number of women
fainted Women and children scream
ed and tried to protect their families
in the crush The church is so large
however that there was ample room
for the crowd to scatter and no one
was injured No trace of the perpe
trator of the deed has been found
Since Saint Anacletus who was or
dained by Peter himself erected an
oratory in 90 A Df on the site of the
basilica to marl the spot where the re
mains of St Peter are buried no such
dastardly occurrence is noted in the
annals of the church
St Peters is the greatest basilica
in Christendom It took U50 years
in the building and stands as a result
of the efforts of forty three popes and
the genius of Michael Angelo Braman
te and Rafael- The commission of
such an outrage in such a place has
called forth unlimited condemnation
and is characterized as proving that
the perpetrators of the crime were ac
tuated by feelings morse than those
which moved the vandals and the Sar
acens
The theory- is held that this at
tempt was -not directed against the
papacy but rather a challenge to so
ciety in general by attacking religion
the most sacred institution of the

St Louis Mo The United States
government Thursday made the ini

seven defendants induing John D

asking that the combination be de
clared unlawful and in the future en
joined from entering into any con
tract or combination in restraint of
trade The suit is brought under the
Sherman anti trust act which the
Standard and its constitutent compa
nies and the seven individuals defend
ants are charged with violating In
a formal statement by Attorney Gen
eral Moody he says that criminal pros
ecution is reserved for future ccn
sideration
The investigation into methods pur
sued by the Standard Oil company be

laid before congress last May by Pros-
ident Roosevelt who accompanied the
report by a special message denounc
ing the apparent methods pursued
The president asserted at the time
that suits would be instituted in the
United States courts to abolish the
combination and the filing of the
suit marks the initial step
