PAGE EIGHT DEATH TOLL [a INCREASED IN BOMB TRAGEDY Silk Merchant of Hong Kong Dies; Governor General Safe. + KONG, June 20.—(By The Press.—The death list result! from the attempt of an unknown Chinese to assassinate Governor General Merlin of French Indo-China at nquet in Canton last night now stands at four. H.G. Gerin, a silk merchant, died today of injuries received when the bomb exploded. It has developed that.the governor general probably owes his life to the fact that the would-be assassin mis- took Gerin for him. : i Just as the soup was being served the banqueters, the Chinese, who ‘was armed, appeared and flung & black handbag containing the ex- plosive at the erid of the table where Gerin was seated. In a moment the dining room had been reduced to shambles, with bodies and wounded persons on the floor or, in the case of one of the dead, still seated at the table. Dr. Casablanca, acting French consul, had his left arm torn off. Two or three Chinese waiters were struck in the h ments of the bomb. Alarmed by the explosion and the eries of the survivors, American sailors from the gunboat Pampanga and British sailors and residents turned out immediately and hurried to the scene, the first contingents arriving in time to chase the bomber toward the river. He fired several shots at his pursuers before plunging into the stream, where all trace of him was lost. BONUS BLANKS ARE SENT OUT BYU. 5. BUREAU Veterans Posts and Red Cross to Aid in Distribution.

No bands are heard, no bantlers seen. And yet, it is the unpompous pass- ing of wealth. It is the symbol of our steady prosperity. It is the strength of this city and its main- stay. We are used to it now. From the immense refineries at the edge of town itebegins each day at the sare hour. It pours through the city and is scattered to homes along every street. Without comment we witness the massed showing of men !n overalls with their lunch boxes. We do not line Center and Second streets and press expectantly to the curls, wait- ing for the procession. We do not do these things, but we shall never have a parade in Casper—regardiess of how resplen- dent its uniforms and banners, how many its bandsy how long its line— that will mean half as much as this daily unpretentious stream of re- finery workers. at aint SUMMARY OF NIGHT NEWS CAMBRIDGE, Mass, — Harvard university at {ts 283rd commence- ment conferred 1,486 degrees, the largest number in its history.
