DYNAMITERS CAPTURED.
They Intended to Blow I'D n Penn
syIvanfa Plant


The first attempt to introduce dynamite
In behalf of the coke strikers was frus-
trated at Mt. Pleasant. Pa, Wednesday,
thanks to the vigilance of Gen. Superin-
terdent Ramsay of the Southwest Con-
nellsville Coke Company, and the prompt
action of Sheriff Mccain.
a week ago Mr.. Ramsay got reliable in
formation that the strikers intended blow
ing up his company's "A" plant at More
wood Mr.. Ramsay at once consulted with
the sheriff. and as result suspected
parties were put under the closest sur
yeillance which ended in locating them
while putting the finishing touches on the
bomb, in the woods on Sand Hill, q half
mile north of town, and less than a mile
from the shaft which the Internal machine
was intended to destroy that night. The
sheriff took six of his most trusted depu-
ties on duty at Norwood shortly before
o'clock and drove to the woods. The lit
tie party quickly surrounded the suspected
point, closed in, and the astounded quartet
of plotters were prisoners the next minute.
The bomb, a metal ball. wire-covered and
filed with dynamite, was found hidden in
pile of rails and was taken along with
the prisoners TO the Greensburg Jail. Its
weight is given at twenty pounds. The
prisoners are Edward Davis. a young
brother of the imprisoned United Mine
Worker president: William McCracken,
10th of Mt Pleasant, the latter not yet of
age, and two foreigners. Davis and Nc
Cracker claim they had no hand in, maxi
ing the bomb and were present by accident.

BECK'S POKER LOSSES.
A Note for S3,35O About Which He
Knows Nothing Presented.

George Beck,son of the late Senator Beck,
was served with summons to answer a
$3.50 assumpsit suit in Chicago the other
night. Nearly two years ago he got into
game of poker with Jack Haverly. Matt
Hogan and men named Fisher, Shaw and
Bean in Hogan's resort in that city. For
five nights and days that game of poker
went on. with only brief internissions for
sleep. Where he played or with whom
after the first night Beck couldn't tell.
He knows. however, that fresh recruits
were not lacking, and that they allowed
him to win about $500 the first night.
The next night he lost nine times the
amount he had won. On the morning after
the fifth evening Beck awoke at the hotel
with no money. He had ticket to his
ranch. He took the train for Wyoming.
The next time he returned he was con-
fronted with $3.50 note he had given Ho-
gan. Beck took legal advice and refused
TO honor the note. Then Hogan assigned
the paper to Mike Mcdonald and suit was
begun. McDOnald's attorney says the other
side told him that Beck had been feeced
out of $1,000, but Becks attorney main
tains that the amount was not so large

THEY WANT THAT BOUNTY.
Sentiments of the New Orleans Sugar
Exchange Members.


If the sentiments expressed at a confer
ence Of members Of the sugar exchange
held at New Orleans yesterday represent
the views of the sugar planters of Lo,isi-
ana. there is going to be lively fight made
to retain the sugar bounty. even at the
sacrifice Of party principles, and the two
Louisiana Senators, Gallery and Blanchard.
Unless they fall in line with these views,
will find considerable opposition to their
election to their present positions, which
they now hold by the grace of the governor.
Some time ago the members Of the sugar
exchange issued call for a convention to
consider the sugar situation in Washington.
AT That time a delegation of planters. head
ed by John Dymond, was in Washington,
trying to lobby for their interests They
heard Of the call being issued and, fearing
that the action of the convention would
Jeopardlze the effects Of their work. tele-
graphed President James c. Murphy to re-
tract the call. This was done, and the pro-
moters Of the movement awaited the return
OF the delegation for an explanation of the
situation.
Mr.. Dymond and the others returned
Wednesday night from Washington, but
what they reported did not seem to please
the other sugar men, and they determined
TO push the move for convention of plant
ers and all interested in sugar. About fifty
members of the sugar exchange met yester-
day in executive session, Mr.. Murphy pre-
siding. 1t was learned last night that they
were in session for two hours and half,
and there was some lively wrangling, judg-
Ing from the loud talk that occasionally
reached the ears of the reporters outside.
Gov. Warmoth made a forty-minute
speech in denunciation of the tactics Of the
democrats, and his words evidently had
some effect. for 1t was decided to call a con-
vention to meet in the Sugar Exchange on
May IL.
The proposition to be submitted, and
which was adopted by a two-thirds vote. is
practically this: A demand is to be made
on the two Louisiana Senators that they
make a combine with Senator Hill and one
or two other democrats and demand that
the Senate put Il duty of at least 2 cents a
pound on sugar; Or If this is not feasible,
that they combine with the republicans and
defeat the bill altogether, leaving the Nc
klnley bill still on the statute books
II the Louisiana Senators refuse to pledge
themselves to this program. then the plant
ers and others interested In the industry
will fight them in their aspirations before
the legislature for election to their present
positions. Two men will be put up whose
fidelity to the sugar interests will supersede
all other considerations. and every influence
VIII be brought to bear to secure their cleo
ton. Duncan Cage of West Feliciana and
w. S. Parkerson of New Orleans (of Malta
fame) were spoken of as the possible bear
ers OF the sugar standard.
