The rear and side wallA of the

Rurgwall was in the basement at
tending to the furnace, when a flash
of flame burned him about the face
and body. There is not the least clue
as to the motive for the crime.
The explosion occurred at 7

it was premature. Had it occurred
two hours later the lives of Miss
Helbling and her forty pupils would
have been endangered.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF VENICE WILL
REOPEN SHORTLY
Citizens Confident That Dc
fenses Are Sufficient to
Insure Protection
By Associated Press
Venice, Monday, Jan. 7. Tha
public schools, which were ordered
closed when Venice was threatened
and the city evacuated, have been
ordered to reopen on January 15.
This Is an indication of the re-estab-.
ishment of partly normal condi
tions, as the school board In mak
ing the order declared its confidence
that the defenses were sufficient to
insure the protection of Venice froro
invasion.
The first air raid alarm In weeks
was sounded Sunday afternoon when
Austrian airplanes appeared over,
San Marco in broad daylight. Sirens
and antiaircraft guns announced the
approach and Italian aviators as
cended to give battle. Bu the enemy
threw no bombs and scurried west
ward when they saw that the de
fense preparations were complete.
Honor was paid to the United
States and the American Red Cross
to-day at a charity school for or
phan children of Italian soldiers.
The children sang American songs
and waved American flags. Their
sufferings have been greatly allevia
ted through the activities of Harvey
B. Carroll, Jr., the American con
sul and his wife,
Consul Carroll to-day visited the
Asiago plateau as the guest of the
Italian general staff. He carries a
l.uge supply of knitted hoods for
the soldiers in the trenches.
Venice is experiencing an unusual
cold snap. The canals are frozen
for the first time in years and the
gondolas lind it difficult in forcing
a way through the ice. A light snow
fell to-day.
