Cary, in a wire sent to A. B. Bielaski, chief of investigation, Department of Justice, at Washington. In his message, Mr. Cary says there is no doubt that the affair was per- petrated by Italian outlaws, who have terrorized Milwaukee in the past, and asks that a sufficient number of in- vestigators. be sent to Milwaukee to run down the person responsible for the calamity. Mr. Cary said he would introduce new legislation immediately when Congress convenes in December, to give the local police department powers to take drastic action in run- ning down the perpetrators of this crime. He also asks that the federal agents cooperate with the local au- thorities to clear the district of these men. Someone Blundered Somebody blundered if the Rev.

Speaking ‘of his rapid advancement along military lines, “Telephony,” the national journal , of telephone men, tor November, says: “The acting »dattalion commander, Capt. *. L. Shuman, has had an ex- tended experience in praotical teie phone work. Prior to engaging in telephone work, Captain Shuman was with the Western Union as telegraph: er and also in telegraph construction work. He has worked his way up in the telephone field from the bottom and has had experience as installer, wire chief and manager. “In 1908 Capt. Shuman became as- sociated with the North Dakota Inde- pendent Telephone Co., and later had charge of half of North Dakota as dis- trict manager, looking after plant, traffic and commercial matters, The rapid development of North Dakota made this position a heavy one. Last spring he purchased an interest in the Mandan Telephone Co. of Mandan, N. D., and became its president and later became president of tue Hazen Telephone Co. of Hazen, N. D. He still holds both of these offices. “Capt Shuman’s experience was not alone in telephone and telegraph work.

It was thought by the police and{: others that the death dealing ingtru: ment which was found against a wall of the Italian Evangelical Church, was timed to explode about eight o'clock Saturday night, when the pastor, it was expected, would be conducting services. The explosion, ii also is thought, was intended to dispose of Guiliana‘and a number of his follow- érs, making “it'impossible for them to appear at the trial of the eleven Ital- ians planned to start on Wednesday on a murder charge in connection with the Bayview riot of several weeks ago, when Guiliana was con- ducting a religious service. At that time, two detectives were killed, and others injured. Two, well-known Italians of Chicago unravelling the: mystery. of suspects were ‘grilled yesterday and most of them released. Some, it is said, are still held for further quiz- zing. r Eleven persons are krigwn to have been killed, 2 number inju¥ed and sev- eral are believed to be missing when a bomb exploded with great force in the central. police station early last night. * The bomb was taken to the station by an Italian, who said he discovered it in the basement of the Italian Evangelical church, in the third ward, an Italian settlement. The Italian was met near the sta- tion by Detective Bart Maloney, and Maloney, escorting him into the sta- tion, placed the bomb, which was en- closed in a black box, on a table in the waiting room, while he took the man into the office of Lieut. Flood. ‘Detectives were on the second floor of the building at the time, responding. to roll call. When they came down the stairway and noticed the black box, one picked it up and examined it. The bomb then exploded. The lower floor of the building was shattered and every window through- out the structure was broken by the shock. It is believed that many of the prisoners may have perished. Among the known dead are: Detective STEPHEN H. STECKER, Detective JOHN SEEHAWER, Detective FRED KAISER, Detective ALBERT TEMPLIN, Detective PAUL WEILER, Detective FRANK CASWIN, Detective DAVID O'BRIEN, Operator SPINDLER, HENRY DECKERT, desk sergeant, CATHERINE ‘WALKKER.
