able tailor. He had many patrons
who gave him good orders and he
was recognized as an expert in his

clothes. This month a fire was dis
covered at his tailoring place.

, Address on Packages.
The addresses on the 16 packages
seized here were all tvDewritten.
The style and a couple of minor
errors led officials to believe that
the addressing was dqne by a for
eigner. The addresses were:

' Clerk Foils Conspirators.
A slio on the Dart of the senders
of the infernal machines, coupled
with the sharp wits of a postoffice
clerk, were all that prevented the
bombs from being delivered. The
16 packages were mailed Saturday
night in a box somewhere in the
neighborhood of Thirtieth street and
Broadway. They had the correct
postage for the parcel post but were
sealed with red waters and therefore
could be accepted only as first-class
matter. Accordingly, they were
sent to the general postoffice to be
referred back to the sender.
Each parcel had the name of Gim-
bel Brothers printed on it and the
department store was notified but
failed to answer. Early this morn
ing Lharles Kaplan, a oostoffice
clerk, while on his way home from
work, read in a morning paper of
the bomb sent to Senator Hardwick.
of Georgia. The description of the
package containing the bomb struck
him and he hurried back to the post-
office and examined the detained
parcels. He then notified the super
intendent ot his suspicions and the
packages were sent to -Chief Post
otflce Inspector W. E. Cochran.
Machines Skillfully Constructed.
Explosives experts were called in
by Inspector Cochran and ohe of the
parcels was opened. t contained a
small phial fastened to the top of a
polished basswood cy'.. ider in such
a manner that the cylinder could not
be opened without breaking the bot
tle. The breaking of the bottle
would 'release a chemical which in
turn would ignite three fulminate of
mercury caps resting on a stick of
dynamite. The whole bomb showed
evidences of skilled workmanship.
Later in . the day a representative
of Gimble Brothers called on In
spector Cochran and after examin
ing the parcels declared the wrap
pings had never originated in the
department store. He pointed out
that the outside covering was' of
highly glazed, expensive type of pa
per, such as would not be used by
any department store for mere wrap
ping purposes. The inner box con
taining the wooden cylinder was also
made of a very fine grade of green
card board, unlike any in ordinary,
use. Each of the parcels measured
eight inches in length, two in depth
and two in wdth.
The back of each parcel was stamp
ed in red ink, 'Novelties a sam
ple." Inspector Cochran expressed
the belief that this was an mgeuious
effort on the part of the senders to
nduce the secretary of an intended
victim to hand the parcel unopened
to his chief. The officials who are
in charge of the investigation believe
that the very elaborateness of the
would-be assassins' preparations
may prove their undoing as afford-
ng certain clues to their identity.
Telephone Companies
Granted Extension of
Emergency War Rates
Lincoln. April 30. The applica
tion of the Nebraska Telephone
company to the State Railway com
mission for an indefinite extension
of time of the emergency war rate
on exchange and tolls service was
today partially allowed in that the
application was granted to Decem
ber 31, 1V19. The application .: . a
raise in the exchange rate was also
granted which will be an increase of
about 50 cents per phone.
The Lincoln company waj also
granted its application for extension
of time to the same date. The j.m
pany asked for a six months' exten
sion, but did not ask for a raise in
rates. In the case of both comp.nies
the time for the emergency rate was
about to expire and if the applica
tion had not been granted the rate
before the war would have gone into
effect

Washington, D. C. April 30. De
cisions affecting every phase of the
nation's interstate and export com
merce were handed down today by
the Interstate' Commerce commis
sion in the first section of a report
on its bills of lading investigation.
With respect to traffic, the com
mission held that numerous com
plaints alleging unfair and varying
practices ot carriers in the applica
tion of regulations contained in their
present bills of lading and the great
importance of such bills in commer
cial transactions made it imperative
that the commission take appropri
ate action to prescribe uniform bills
of lading. -
Require Uniform Regulations.
The commission ruled that it has
authority to require carriers to com
ply with the law respecting the is
suance of bills of lading to file with
the commission the regulations
which they write into their bills; to
require that uniform regulations be
adopted and to determine what are
reasonable and nondiscriminatory
rules.
With respect to the application of
the Cummins amendment to the act
to regulate commerce, the commis
sion declared that property trans
ported by carriers could be divided
into three classes: ordinary live
stock, as to which no limitation of
liability whatsoever is lawful; prop
erty, other than ordinary live stock,
concerning which the carrier may.
upon authorization by the commis
sion, be permitted to contract for a
limitation of its liability; and prop
erty, other than ordinary live stock,
as to which, therefore, no limitation
is lawful.

How High Will
H
Meat Prices Go?
Swift & Company does not know
whether prices will go higher or lower.
It depends upon country-wide and
world conditions that Swift & Company
cannot control and cannot foresee.
All the world needs meat, and only
a small part of the world is raising live
stock So live stock is dear now, and
meat prices must keep pace.
Competition will continue to keep
the "spread" low so that the price you
pay for meat will be as close as possible
to what must be paid fpr live stock.
Our profit of only a fraction of a
cent a pound, is no greater when prices
are high than when they are low.
