CRAM SETS BOMB
IN H. CAPITOL
Reception Room in' Senate Win; is
Damaged by Explosion Just
Before Midnight.
SENDS LETTER . TO NEWSPAPER
. a
WASHINGTON, July 3. Tha pub
lic reception room In the senate wins
of the United States capitol was
wrecked Just before last ' midnight
by an explosion, probably caused by
a bomb or an infernal machine. No
one was Injured and today there was
only one clue, a letter received by
the Washington Times, an evening
newspaper, announcing that it would
take place.
The letter was mailed nearly two hours
before the explosion. It waa signed "R.
PeareV, and Indicated that th writer
had been waiting for an opportunity t
carry out hla plan, which, he eald, would
be "tli exclamation point of his career.'.'
Only en man of that name is In th
Washington city directory. A search was
begun for him.
Officials at first believed th axplo
sion was cauaed by spontaneous combus
tion ' or escaping gas. They abandoned
that tin of investigation and proceeded
on th theory that tho explosive was
placed by a crank seeking to create a sen
sation or by some foreign sympathiser,
seeking to register his disapproval of tha
pollcica of the United States government.
Damage la 'Sllcht.
Part of tha celling and si da walla of th
room were shaken down. A huge mirror
and a crystal chandelier shattered, and
tha doors blown open., One of the doors
led into the office of the vice president
and is said not to have been opened for
forty years.
Tha building had been closed sine dark
and there was no one in it but the watch
man and th telephone switchboard
operators. Watchman Jones, on th floor
be'.ow at th east entrano. aald he vfaa
blown from, hla chair by th explosion.
Superintendent Woods said ha had ex
amined th structural features of tha
building and found that there was no
damage other than in tha immediate vi
cinity of th reception room.
