BOMB ON WESTERLY DOORSTEP Evident Attempt to Blow Up Home of Michael Rebecca — Local Elk Memorialized By Gold Star on Narragansett Pier Service Flag—Boy of Fourteen Cuts Leg and Dies From Lockjaw — Laurel Glen Line Company Leases Floor in Price Building. Ly CLEAN Up Ju For the fourth time in as many years, bombmen have done damage to property in the so-called I ierce street section of the town of Westerly. A loud explosion was heard at 1 o'clock on Monday morning that aroused many from their peaceful glumbers, and awakened all sorts of notions as to what might have oc- curred in these perilous war times. No report came to the police from any person in that section, but the loua report incident to the explosion was enough to start an investigation by the police. They soon located the cause of the unusual disturbance. Some person or persons, at present ta the police unknown, had ignited a dynamite bomb on the steps leading to the entrance of a small house owned by George Joseph Bookataub and lo- B cial events at Camp Meade, accord- ing to special news correspondence. Stephen Gawek a Providence boxer, has.been pickd by Tom Gibbons, box- ing instructor, to meet some of the best fighters in camp. Charles Mc- Guire, Jr., and Bertrand Hunt of Riverpoint are among the lawyers. Alfred Nelson, a real estate man, is making a record in conducting lively games. William M. Stevens, who con- iucted a lunch room in Newport, has been appointed a mess sergeant.
