GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.
Because There Is to be no Game To-
morrow With Demins.

That mistakes will happen was reali-
zad last night when the HERALD an
noupced that the game with Deming
had been postponed for week. The
team has not been supported In the
local games as it deserved and for that
reason many thought that there would
not be much of crowd to attend the
game with Deming. But when it was
learned last night that the game was
off many were the expressions of re-
gret by the hundreds of lovers of the
n ational game. IL was also great
disappoin tmert to Deming as there
was to have been large crowd to ae-
company the team to Ell Paso.
The HERALD received message from
the Headlight asking about the game,
for 1t seemed that they had not received
the letter that Manager Jacoby had
written them informing them of the
fact that the game must be postponed.
No one Is more disappointed than Park
Pitman, one of the directors of the as
socistion.
But there will be q game at the
Santa Fe grounds free to all on Sunday (,
when the public will have a chance TO
get line up of the team that Is to
represent Ell Paso in the great
HERALD pennant race.

BOMB EXPLODES IN THEATER

ENCE At HARVARD.

Lives ThreatcMed-A Student Believed
to Have Perpetrated the Outrage "A
Detective Quickly Set at Work.

| Cambridge Mass, Jan. 1.-THE ex-
plosion of bomb in Sanders tf7eater
at Harvard tonight, while five, or six
hundred people We're quietly listening
to Beethoven's Pastoral" by the Bos-
ton Symphony orchestra, not only put
sudden end to the concert, but for a
few minutes, by reason of the panic
which followed threatened the lives of
many in the rush for the doors. For
tunately through the efficient efforts of
number of cool-headed men, the tur-
moil was Gained and the audience left
quietly, although considerably excited.
AS an alarm clock was found attached
TO the remnants of the bomb, the col
lege authorities tonight believe the
whole affair was intended as joke on
the history class, but that it exploded
twelve hours ahead of time.
The janitor offers the very tangible
theory as to the intention of the authors
of the internal machine" He stated
that during the afternoon he found the
satchel beneath one of the seats and
thinking that it belonged to one Of the
students he put it in the closet. The
hands of the alarm clock had stopped
at 9:20 and it is thought by the college
authorities that some one put the bomb
in the theater with the idea of throwing
the history class which would meet
there in the morning into confusion. A
detective however, was Immediately en-
gagged and will investigate the affair.

Of a young lady and coming to New

who is believed to have. been duped,
informed Chief Bill of Hartford that
Newbury induced him to subscribe $25
to the business. He said that he also
paid $25 for office furniture.
Newbury told Flynn that he was
working on a book which would soon
be issued for the benefit of local and
state merchants. The book would con-
tain the names of those not considered
good pay" Further than that Flynn
said he did not know what the money
would be used for. 1t is thought that
