CRAM SETS BOMB

IN H. CAPITOL

Reception Room in' Senate Win; is

Damaged by Explosion Just

Before Midnight.

SENDS LETTER . TO NEWSPAPER

. a

WASHINGTON, July 3. Tha pub

lic reception room In the senate wins

of the United States capitol was

wrecked Just before last ' midnight

by an explosion, probably caused by

a bomb or an infernal machine. No

one was Injured and today there was

only one clue, a letter received by

the Washington Times, an evening

newspaper, announcing that it would

take place.

The letter was mailed nearly two hours

before the explosion. It waa signed "R.

PeareV, and Indicated that th writer

had been waiting for an opportunity t

carry out hla plan, which, he eald, would

be "tli exclamation point of his career.'.'

Only en man of that name is In th

Washington city directory. A search was

begun for him.

Officials at first believed th axplo

sion was cauaed by spontaneous combus

tion ' or escaping gas. They abandoned

that tin of investigation and proceeded

on th theory that tho explosive was

placed by a crank seeking to create a sen

sation or by some foreign sympathiser,

seeking to register his disapproval of tha

pollcica of the United States government.

Damage la 'Sllcht.

Part of tha celling and si da walla of th

room were shaken down. A huge mirror

and a crystal chandelier shattered, and

tha doors blown open., One of the doors

led into the office of the vice president

and is said not to have been opened for

forty years.

Tha building had been closed sine dark

and there was no one in it but the watch

man and th telephone switchboard

operators. Watchman Jones, on th floor

be'.ow at th east entrano. aald he vfaa

blown from, hla chair by th explosion.

Superintendent Woods said ha had ex

amined th structural features of tha

building and found that there was no

damage other than in tha immediate vi

cinity of th reception room.
