Atlanta, Ga., April 2!.-Mrs. Maude
P. Hardwick, wife of fo.mer United
States Senator Thomas W. Hardwick,
was painfully injured and her negro
maid suffcrd the loss of both hands in
the explosion here today of an infernal
machine sent through the mails to the
home of the former Georgia Senator.
He was at his law office at the time.
The package which came in a paper
wrapper, bore a New York City post
mark and had been mail d to Senator
HardwickV former home at Sandera
Tillo, Ga. Postofliee officials there had
forvarded it to his apartment ere. The
package was about aix inches long and
some three inches wide. Mrs. Hard
wick, the Senator said, decided it was a
sample of pencils and told the maid to
open it.
Contained Two Acids.
What the poliee believe to have been
nitric acid was exploded ' eontact
with soni' other acid as the maid, Ethel
Williams, unwrapped the parcel. - A

number of metal slugs added to the
which literally
blew the maid's hands off. Mrs. Hard
wick was burned about the face and
upper. pait of the body.
A 'ruin storm at the time caused
neighbors to surmise that lightning had
struck the building.
Both the former Senator and local
poliro and Federal officials expressed
the belief 'hat tic explosion was the
work of auarc! operating in New
York. The Sei- ' mild assign no par
ticular cause f' . the attempt on his
life.
The package bearing the typewritten
address "Senator Thomas W. Hardwick,
Sandersville, Ga.," was marked "Sam
ple" and had a wrapper bearing a re
turn address of "Gimbel Brothers, 32ad
and Broadway, New York." It was thw
word "sample" that caused Mrs. Hard
wick to think it was some merchandise
and to have it opened in 'her husband's
absence.
Police describe the infernal machine
as being composed of a piece of wood
about six Inches long, three inches wide
and probably one inch thick. A hole
had been made in the wood and the arid
container, which they believed was
glass, wan placed in this. It was so ar-
ranged, they said
wrapper loosened a
that untying the
coil spring which
allowed the larger quantity of acid to

Delegation at Paris Issues
Commentaries On League
Covenant
raria, April 89 (By The Aseorinted
Press.) The British delegation issued
today a series of commentaries on the
covenant of thu League of Nations, ex
pressing their definite views aad making
some changes from the official analysis
issued on Sunday. With regard to the
section dealing with the Monroe Doc
trine the commentaries say:
"Article 21 makes it ebvar that the
covenant it not Intended to al,ror-ito or
weaken aay other agreements, so long
as they are consistent with ita own
terms, into which members of the lea.-ue
may have entered or may hereafter
enter for the assurance of pesce. Such
agreemeata would iaclude special trea
ties for compulsory arbitration aad
military conventions that are genuinely
defensive.
Waa a Caaraatee ef Peace.
"The Monroe Doctrine and similar
understandings are put in the same rate
gory. They have shown themselves I
In story to be, not instruments ot na
tionnt ambition, but guarantees o
peace. The origin of the Monroe Doe
trine ia well hnewn. It was proclaimed
In 1823 to prevent America from be
coming a theatre for intrigues of t-uro
pean absolutism. At first a principle
of Americaa foreign policy, it has be
come aa international understanding
and it is not illegitimate for the people
of the United Statea to say that the
covenant should recognize thst fact
"In its essence it ia consistent with
the spirit of tha covenant and, indeed.
the principles of the league as expressed
in Art'cle 10, representing the eaten
sion to the wholo worm or the prin
ciples of this doctrine, while should any
dispute ss to the meaning of the lot
ter ever arise between the America
and European powers the league is there
to settle it.
It is particularly noted thst the com
mentaries state that the Monroe Doe
trine "has become an international an
derstanding."
