MAY DYNAMITE COURT HOUSE
Friends of St. Joseph Prisoners
Threaten to DemOIish
Structure.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July 1O.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-A large quantity Of dynamite was
stolen last night from one OF the rock quar-
ries near the city and the officers were told
early 10 the day that the court house, which
stands within a few feet Of the jail, where
the terrific explosion took place yesterday,
is to be blown to atoms today.
Friends of Leck AlleE and lin Blades,
who caused the oxplrs fFI n,t lfreek ri the
two buildings yesterday, n1Yade the threats.
They are known to be desperate and the po-
lice do not know the extent of their power.
The court house is almost deserted today
and a strong guard stands about the build
ing. Every man not personally known to
the officers is searched and then allowed to
enter. The circuit courts have adjourned
and the criminal court in the wing farthest
from the Jail is in session for the trial
of William Coates, who is alleged to have
killed his mother.
The dynamite stolen last night has not
been located, although all the police are
searching for It. Crowds have gathered at
a safe distance from the court house and
are awaiting the explosion that is expected
to take place. The alarm has spread all
over the city.
Judge Casteel of the criminal court has
made an order for Allen and Blades to be
taken to the penitentiary as quickly as
possible He thinks that will end the
trouble. Aliens friends says he shall
not 90.
A brother of Allen committed suicide In
the Jail three years ago while under sen
tence for highway robbery, after attempting
to dynamite the Jail.

ATTACK THE ADMINISTRATION
Irish NatIonaIists Cry Against Con-
stabuIRry and Alleged Jury
Packing by British.

LONDON, July 1O.-Thf 'e on the Irish
estimate in the House |-s.., 'ons today
furnished the nationalists Wl, oppor-
tunity for a stirring attack =. w 'sh
administration OF ireland and thu
GUS operation" OF the Irish constab>
which body OF men, John Dillon (nationA.
ist) declared was maintained, not to pro-
tect crime, but to create 1t. Mr.. Dillon
specified instances where, he alleged, force
was instrumental in obtaining the con-
viction and Imprisonment Of innocent per-
sons, and charged the government with
winking at these malpractices in order to
obtain justification for its policy OF coer-
cion.
T. p. OConnor (nationalist) declared
that politically speaking. the real GRIM
inal was the attorney general for Ireland
(the Rt. Hon. ]. Atkinson) because he
practiced jury packing.
Sir Robert T. Reid (liberaD said he con-
sidered the action Of the Irish police to be
dastardly. He further asserted that mat
ters would never be remedied until self
government for ireland put an end to jury
packing.
This brought Attorney General Atkinson
to his feet with hot retort that Sir Rob-
ert, who now professed such lofty and
noble sentiments, had remained for three
years a member of the administration and
had INDUCED in Jury packing to an extent
unknown to the present government"
The chief secretary for Ireland, George
Wyndham, admitted that there was much
truth in what Mr.. Dillon had said in re-
gard to specific cases. but the charges
were not applicable to the whole police
force.
After further debate Mr.. Dillons motion
to reduce the estimates was defeated by
195 to 1927 votes

TURNS DOWN CALL FOR HELP
Governor Stone Refuses to Send Mill
itary Aid TO Preserve order
in Carbon County.

HARRISBURG. Pa, July 1O.-In reply to
a request from Sheriff Gombert Of Carbon
county, asking that troops be sent to Lans-
ford and Summit Hill to preserve order.
Governor Stone this afternoon sent the
sheriff the following telegram:
Your telegram OF today stating that
strikers are gathering In large mobs at
Lhpgsford and Summit Hill. in Carbon
county. and citizens are attacked and beat
en-, and in danger OF their lives, and that
you find that you are unable to preserve
order and protect the citizens and there
fore must call on me for troops, received.
The law under which the national guard
Is called out does not justify action under
the circumstances Those conditions are
entirely within your own province and with
the aid at your hand you ought to over
come the difficulty without the use of state
troops.
If there is a condition of riot. mobs or in
surrection which the civil authorities are
unable to suppress, the governor will not
hesitate to secure troops, but under no cir
cumstances will troops go unless the civil
authority is exhausted after reasonable ef-
fort on the part of the sheriff and the pro-
lection of life and property demands It.

CLAIMS TO BE A ROUGH RIDER
UnIdentiaed Man Seeks Interview
with President Under
False Pretense.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 10.-President
Roosevelt passed a comparatively quiet day
at Sycamore Hill today. After the rain OF
the morning, the president and Mrs. Roose-
welt took a brisk gallop Of several miles
over the fine roads in the vicinity Of their
home, returning in time for luncheon. Miss
Ethel and Master Archibald Roosevelt, ac-
companied by a daughter Of ]. West Roose-
welt, who resides near the presidents
country home, also went horseback riding
during the morning At point near Saga
more Hill the saddle girth on Miss Ethers
horse loosened and she was thrown. For
tunately the horse was not going at
rapid pace and Miss Ethel, quite unin-
jured. readily stopped the horse. Archie
dismounted, readiusted the girth. and the
party proceeded. The most extravagant ru-
mors we're afoat regarding the in
cident but as Miss Ethel herself said: "It
amounted to little"
man who said he had served in the
Rough Riders when the president was
colonel Of the regiment arrived here from
New York early in the afternoon. As he
announced his intention of calling upon the
president the secret service officers were
soon on his trail. A few minutes exami-
nation Of the man by one Of the officers
Rough Rider with the president, convinced
them he was not what he represented him
self to be. He then admitted that he had
not seen service in Cuba, and that he had
posed as a rough rider merely as a means
Of getting an audience with the president.
The officers saw to II that he left the viii
lage on the next train.
Judge Spencer B. Adams Of Greenville,
S. G., had by appointment an interview
with the president tonight. Judge Adams
recently was appointed chief justice OF the
Choctaw and Chickasaw citizenship court
Of the Indian Territory and came here to-
discuss with Mr. Roosevelt the frauds on
the citizenship of the two tribes.
1t is thought likely that Secretary Root
may be here the last of the week. One
Of the subjects he will take up with the
president is the record in the court martial
case Of General Jacob Smith. The record
has been briefed for the president, and
as he is the final reviewing officer he will
go over the case carefully before render
ing his decision. The endorsement which
the president will make on the report will
probably be given to the public soon after
it is made. because Of the interest in and
Importance Of the case.

Forces Man to Purchase RevOlvers
and Ammunition and Then
Disappears.

KENT, Wash, July 10.--Harry Tracy,
the oregan convict, was at the home Of E
M Johnson, two miles southeast OF this
place Wednesday night. When he left the
house he was armed with a new revolver
and his 30-3O Winchester, and had a plenti-
full supply of both ammunition and provis-
ions. Tracy sent johnson to Tacoma to pur-
chase the revolver and ammunition. He
threatened to exterminate Johnson's family
on the least sign OF treachery. The MUIR
derer seemed tagged out and talked very
little about himself or his plans. While at
the house he spent nearly all the time
watching for his pursuers. He left the house
after dark, taking Johnson's horse. headed
either for Seattle or the Palmer cutoff.
Not only did Tracy force Johnson to buy
the revolver, but he made him borrow the
necessary money in Kent. Johnson went to
Tacoma and secured the weapon without
sounding any kind Of warning to the au-
thorities. He was badly frightened.
Tracy arrived at the home of johnson at
6 o'clock Wednesday morning and at the
point of a revolver forced Johnson to cook
him breakfast. After finishing the meal he
told Johnson to go to Tacoma and purchase
two 45-caliber Colts revolyers and 100
rounds of cartridges, with the threat that If
he gave information TO the authorities of
that place he would murder the entire fam
lily. johnson left Kent on the o'clock
train, returning at 4 o'clock. While he was
absent from Kent Tracy remained in the
vicinity of the home and appeared to be un-
easy, as II expecting visit from the on
GERS. Several times he went to the top of
small hill in the rear Of the johnson home
and viewed the surrounding country.
Upon the return OF Johnson from Tacoma
Tracy ordered Mrs, johnson to cook him
enough provisions to last a week. She
boiled two dozen eggs, fried bacon and gave
him large supply Of sugar and flour.
Tracy compelled the members OF the fam
lily to remain on the premises until the re-
turn of Iohnson frnun Tacoma
