SENA IOR AKIN GETS BOMB, BUI II PROVES HARMLESS; A FOUR IN OF JUL\ JOKE .Hot*. John \V. Akin, urrniim.pt the' senate, received an Infernal tnaChlne Thursday morning at his room. In the Piedmont. But the Glorious Fourth was not marred by a tragedy. It Is not neces sary to record any harrowing details. And the senate will not become de moralized by the necessity A>t going Into tbe_«It>ot)op_-»f another, preside^ as successor’ to fJJr. Akin. • - At last reports, President'JAkln and Mrs. Akjfl, who had tho thrilling expe rience of opening the machine, were alive anjt In good health and'.unliurt. For, Instonii of being the'victim of. some dastardly plo^or extermination; President Akin was merely the un harmed victim of a clever little Joke— just a little side Issue to enliven his Fourth of July gelebratlon. The machlne-,w4a;“lnfernar nil rtgbL to all appearances, hut In reality noth ing moro than a fnke. It served, however, to give Mrs. Akin, the senator's genial wife, a fright On opening the machine. It was shortly before 10 o'clock on Thursday morning that Mrs. Akin heard a knock on her (loor, In room 610 of the Piedmont. -Answering the knock, she found a bell boy at the door with a big boxJneatly wrapped, and addressed to "Hon. John W. Akin.” Thinking the box contained some purchase made by the senator, Mrs. Akin received It and opened 1L Un wrapping the paper, she found a large pasteboard box, thoroughly Innocent looking. Without suspicion, Mrs. Akin re moved the cover, and as she did so, there was a peculiar snap on the Inside. At-the same moment her gaze fell on a tgfgasbomb, with a fuse about five Inches long, and lying beside this a pistol, Mrs. Akin was horrified, and, wtfh a scream, let the box fall to the floor. Senator Akin, fearing something had happened, rushed Into the room and made an examination. The pistol was found to be a toy weapon and the sup posed bomb was a roll of wall paper, with a deep red covering. The toy pistol had been so arranged that the removal of the box cover caused It to snap. Inside of the box was the card of a wall paper company, bearing this inscription: "We will help you blow up the sen ate.” Thoroughly appreciating the Joke, Senator and Mrs. Akin breathed more freely and decided It was not necessary to notify the police.
