B4 w» CHURCH 1S BONBED AFTER RADIO TALKS Los Angeles Pastor Long Ac- tive in Politics—Police Be- gin Investigation. FEREEE Y By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 27.—Rev. Robert P. Shuler, broadcasting pastor, and his Trinity Methodist Church South, were in public attention again!perstitious enough to believe the hawk today as police ln\'esusllzd the rster- fous bombing of the downtown church building early Sunday morning. Only slight damage was caused by the bomb and police believed the blast was set off as & prank or by some crank who wished to frighten worshippers from the church. Plate Glass Windows Broken. Several plate glass windows in the building and in nearby structures were broken. Police estimated the damage at $150. Explosives experts said the bomb apparently was a black powder affair, similar to those used in aerial fireworks displays, and apparently had been hurled from a moving automobile. Shuler said he believed the blast was intended to scare members of his con- tion and keep them from church rather than to damage the building or radio Station KGEF, over which he broadcasts. On January 14, 1928, bomb placed under the ner of the church shattered two win- dows and wrecked a small automobile. Pastor Active in Politics, eS;’u.\lel'.

By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, October 27.—An extraordi- nary tale of an Egyptian mummified hawk that drips “blood” during war time was told yesterday by Lord Robert | Baden-Powell, chief Scout. Lord Baden-Powell says he is not su- | really forecasts the coming of war, but | thinks its prophetic powers are “an| a coincidence.” Asked to amplify a brief reference he made to the bird at a recent ban- quet, he said: “The bird, which is in a mummified state, was discovered in 1887 by a friend of mipe during excavation work in Egypt. By comparing it with other | things discovered at the same time, he | concluded that the bird was at least 4,000 years old. Saw It at Museum. ] “I saw the thing for the first time the other day at a friend’s private mu- seum. It is in a wonderful state of | preservation, and, although the eyes are | gone, one can still clearly see the beak and the features. “On the shelf where the bird stands I noticed a dry brown stain: and when I questioned my friend about it, he told me that about a month before the out- break of the Boer War the hawk be- came damp and gently oozmed bubbles of this stuff. “All through the campaign this ‘sweating’ continued, until about a month before the war ended, when, as suddenly and mysteriously as it had be- gun, the dripping ceased. “But exactly a month before the out- break of the great war the bubbles again appeared, and the amazing fact is that they again stopped just a month before the armistice. Cannot Account for It. “How can one account for it? Is the liquid some preservative used in the mummifying process which is af- fected by the weather “A point which seems rather to up- set this theory is that there surely must have been weather conditions when the bird was dry similar to those when it was wet. And again, how is one to explain that on ecach occasion WasiniwudoN, D. G, Muivtia Y, the oozing coincides so exactly with the duration of the war? “Mind you, I am not superstitious enough to think that the hawk by some weird means forecasts war, but no doubt | [ many people would seize upon that tl Personally I think it is just an amazing coincidence.” WATER BOARD SEEKING FALLS CHURCH SESSION Special Town Committee Asks Con- ference on Connections With ¢ Arlington Mains. | Special Dispateh to The Star. | FALLS CHURCH, Va, October 27.— { The special committee of the Town | Council and representative citizens ap- on the water situation in Falls Church is endeavoring to arrange a meeting tonight with County Engineer Kinnier, Commonwealth Attorney Gloth and the | supervisors of Arlington County to see what arrangements can be made to ob- tain water for Falls Church from the Arlington County mains, The committee met Saturday night in the office of M.
