TRAGEDY GRUESOME SIGHT WAR ON AUSTRIA POSSIBLE BOMB IS MYSTERY Trial of Men Alleged to Have Been Connected With Bay View Riots Supposed to Be Mo tive for Destruction. MILWAUKEE, "Wis., Nov. 23. Twenty-four hours of vigorous investigation hae failed to disclo information as to the identity of the person who was re sponsible for the explosion of a bomb which killed 11 persons in police head quarters here last night. Twenty-five Italians are under ar rest including: Guiseppi Mazuinni, the Italian who carried the bomb from the basement of the Italian Evangelical Church to the police station, but no action has been taken by the police as the result of the questioning which the prisoners underwent today. i Bomb Timed to Explode. The - fact that the bomb had been placed in the basement of the church and timed to explode ' when the church would be crowded, and that consider able enmity existed between the Rev. August Guiliano, pastor of the church, and some unknown persons, has caused the police to look to that quarter for a key to the mystery. Captain of Detectives Sullivan de clared today that he believed the bomb was "planted" by persons whose desire it to break up the religious work which Rev. Mr. Guiliano is conducting among the Italians. The casualties which resulted from the explosion remained at 11 dead and two injured, no other bodies having been found when the demolished r5ai in police headquarters was searched thoroughly. Many gruesome sight) confronted the searchers, and great crowds of curious persons stood out side to glimpse the scene. Many Aid In Investigation. State, city and county officials, as well as police representatives from Chicago, are investigating the tragedy and it was intimated by eome that through the peculiar construction of the bomb the makers might be known to the authorities. The trial of 11 men who were said to te connected with the. Bay View riots several weeks ago. when a religious meeting . held by the priest was bro ken up, is set for Wednesday. Rev. Mr. Guiliano has stated his determina tion to appear as a prosecuting witness and there is some thought by police that the bomb may have been placed by persons who wished to prevent ni m and others of his congregation from testifying against them.

ORDEAL TO BE FMD Mrs. De Saulles Will Tell Story of Killing Husband. HEALTH SAID TO BE PQOR District Attorney Declares Cross-Ex- am lnatlon Will Be Rigorous Lit tle Jack Will Testify as to Stories Told Mother. MINEOLA, L. I.. Nov. 25. (Special.) Mrs. Bianca de Saulles, who, in her trial for the murder of her divorced husband, goes on the witness stand to morrow to tell a story lasting several hours, is in poor condition to stand such an ordeal, her physicians said to day, and there is some fear that she may break down and be unable to com plete her testimony. Henry A. Uterhart, her chief counsel, said that he considered it absolutely essential for his client to go through with the ordeal and he expected the courage and reserve force she had shown through the tr'al would sustain her in telling her story. Cross-Examination to Be Rigorous. Mr. Uterhart said that his client would have much to say in addition to the incidents which he told in his opening address to the jury, of her treatment by De Saulles, and that she would be on the witness stand a full day. District Attorney Weeks said he would cross-examine her rigorously. Gossip that was brought to the young woman concerning her husband cannot be proveij to be false by the District Attorney. The principle of this was illustrated in the Thaw case, where it was held to be unessential whether the story told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw to her husband was true, as its effect on his mine would be the same in either case. Little Jack Not to Testify. Some of the revelations regarding De Saulles are- alleged to have been made to the young woman by their child, who repeatedly told his mother stories of his father and other women. according to the opening statement for the defense. The boy, who is nearly five years old, could be put on the stand for the purpose either of cor roborating or denying -the fact that he told his mother these things, but the child will not be permitted to take the stand.

TRADEIS RESTRICTED Speculative Buying in Chicago Wheat Pit at Minirpum. LARGE ORDERS NOT TAKEN Supplies of Grain at Leading Ter minal Markets Are so Small There Is No Hedging Pressure. Crops Late This Year. BY CHARLES D. MICHAELS. CHICAGO, Nov. 25. (Special.) Speculative trading in grain is cur tailed by Governmental restrictions. Officials desire to have it continued as near a minimum as possible. That is. operations of the big traders who buy or sell 500.000 to l.OOOtOOO bushels within a short time are not regarded an essential for the good of the pres ent restricted market. All large operations, Jn fact, all trading in the markets Is being watched closely by Government officials, who have men unknown to the trade on the exchange all the time and promptly report all important operations. Officials of the exchange and all the large commission houses are co-operating with the Government and the Food Administration and are restrict ing trading. Large " orders are not taken and moderate-sized ones are not ser.t in to the trading pits in a bunch, but executed in a way so as to least excite the market. Large Operations Vnnecesiwry. The theory of the Government of. ficials is that large operations are un necessary at present and that they periorm no economic function in the market. Supplies of grain at leading terminal markets are so small that there is no hedging pressure in corn and it may be some time before there is. Until such a period exists the lighter volume of trade the better it will suit the officials of the Food Ad ministration and of the Department of Justice. The trade, on the whole, has largely lost sight of the fact that the crop season thii year was two to three weeks late, especially in corn. There were no stocks left over from last year and the trade started with empty bins Scarcity of all grains caused con sumption to take the new crops fully. It is always necessary to fill up the various holes throughout the country and it is seldom that it can be accom plished within the first three or four, and sometimes six months, after har vest. This is especially true this year in regard to wheat, corn and oats. Farmers have not sold their wheat, because the Government guaranteed $2.17 for No. 2 hard and No. 2 red at Chicago for the season. The wheat was not marketed freely early In the year and it has caused great incon venience and concern on the part of the Food Administration. To have a large movement from now on seems out of the question, as corn and oats have to be moved In com petition and only preference orders on the part of the Government can bring wheat marketing up to the normal. There is the greatest quantity of soft corn the trade has ever known to be marketed this year and orders are out for many more cars to be given Western roads, so that as much can be saved as possible. Toledo Man Installs Tie Mill. CENTRALIA. Wash.. Nov. 25. (Spe cial.) Bert Moore has purchased a tie mill and will install it on his SO-acre tract of timber east of Toledo.
