Rome. April 12. King Victor Em

grounds in Palazzo Giulio Cesare
iiH a fow minutes before 10
o'clock, just before the long parade
escorting the king reached the gate.
The bomb evidently was placed by
terrorists.
It showered iron splinters and mis
siles into the crowd packed in the
semicircular piazza, killing 14 people
outright, causing the death of an
other in a hospital and injurin
Among the dead were four,
more,
women.
two babies, one policeman
and one Alpine soldier.
The king owes his Jife probably
to the fact that he was delayed 10
minutes in getting to the fair, and
took another route, leaving the pro
cession, which was to follow him.,
to preceed alone.
Panicky scenes followed the crash.
Scores were blown for yards and
dazed into unconsciousness, while
many had their clothing almost blown
off.
The 40 Injured, who included six
women, were in pitable condition late
tonight. Besides the women, most of
the other injured were Alpine troops,
who were guarding the route, and
Balillas small fascist Boy Scouts.
Premier Mussoline mobilized po
lice and squads of special inspec
tors !were sent to Milan. At the
Ramc' timp the nolfce heeran makintr

The general opinion is that the
attempt was made rather against
the fascists than against the king.

CITIZENS BAND TOGETHER
Duluth, Minn., April 11. Armed
with a statement that their commun
ity has been terrorized "to a point"
where women and children "were
afraid for their lives, even in their
own homes," a committee of citizens
from Orr and Cusson, northwoods
towns, left here this afternoon for
St. Paul, where they intend to ask
the governor for protection from the
lawless element.
The lawless element has been in
control of their section of the coun
try for three years, the citizens said
in their statement, "almost without
interruption or interference." Point
ing to the alleged assault and mur
der of Mrs. Clara Brown, sixty-two
year old storekeeper near Orr, who
was found dead Sunday, and anoth
er death last Friday, which resulted
in a second murder charge the state
ment said the condition "can no
longer be tolerated."
Committee members asked news
paper men not to use their names
lor fear some one would "get them"
when they got back home. The two
towns are in the heart of the north
woods, not far from the Canadian
boundary.
