BIG DYNAMITE PLOT.
INTERNAL MACHINE DESIGNED
TO SINK GREAT SHIP.
BsS Found with Explosive to BE Set
Free by Clock Motive Declared
10 BE 10 Drive Every Britisn steamer
from the Port.

Through the discovery at New York
If an internal machine set to explode 100
pounds of dynamite within thirty-six
hours, a plot eoucocted by the Malta
TO blow up the Atlantic liner Umbria in
midocean was frustrated. The machine
was in a box the size of a small trunk
and il consisted of three sets of clock
work and 100 pounds of dynamite. IL
was delivered at the pier by two Italians
and the machinery was in motion when
discovered forty-h minutes before the
Umbria sailed for Europe.
The attempt 10 blow up the Umbria
is said TO be part of a conspiracy TO
wreck all the English owend steamships
on the New York run.
The internal machine was discovered
through letter mailed at the general
postofiice with special deliver stamp
on il, addressed to Captain Piper, the
deputy police commissioner The letter
said the Malta was behind the plot.
Although the letter was signed, Cap
tain Piper thought the warning a hoax.
he decided TO take no chances, however,
and reported the matter to Inspector Nc
Clusky, who sent Detectives McCarthy
and Farley TO the Cunard pier. MeClns-

Captain Watson, the dock superinten-
dent. and Mr.. Floyd, the acting agent Of
the line. waiting when they arrived.
The detectives went On board and con-
suited Captain Dntton of the Umbria af-
ter they had failed to discover the box
on the pier Inquiry led to the belief
that box like that described in the let
ter had been taken on the vessel. Cap
tain button declared that he would not
sail until the box was found.
The box was found at the foot of the
first cabin gangway. 1t was of new
pine wood, forty inches long, ten inches
wide and twenty inches deep. The top
was fastened down by an ordinary iron
paddock.
The detectives placed their ears near
the box. They could hear the ticking
and buzzing distinctly. They carried it to
a less public place and broke the lock.
The lifted lid disclosed three sets of
clockw5rk. All the wheels were turning
and ticking and buzzing industriously.
Beneath the clockwork was a large
quantity of a brown powder. Il had the
appearance of dynamite and there were
at least 100 pounds of it.
The detectives and the officials of the
Cunard line decided to take no chances.
They carried the box to the end Of the
pier, handling it somewhat gingerly, and
attaching a rope to one of the handles,
tossed it overheard to render harmless
any explosive that it might contain.
The news of the finding of the box
spread swiftly among the 800 persons
on the pier who were there TO see friends
depart, and many of them fed. But few
of the passengers knew anything about
it, as the Umbria sailed soon after the
Internal machine was DESTROYED.

By decision Of the Circuit Court in
Kansas City the aristocrati, members of
a church have no legal right TO deny a
poor worshiper the occupancy OF seat

Cheese. Jewish synagogue congrega-
ton, was sued by Samuel Graves,
pawnbroker and jeweler. for SOS, the
value Of pew WATCH he had agreed to
sell To III. JagOta, shoemaker, and the
court rendered judgment against the
congregation. Before buying the pew
from Graves, Jagota. like all the poorer
members of the congregation. had occu-
pied a seat in the rear of the church.
When Jagota with his family attempted
10 enter the aristocratic section where
his new pew was located he was met
by the president of the congregation, who
told him that be could not sit in that
seat. Jagota pushed by. determined to
assert his rights, but when lie reached
his pew he found its entrance blocked
and barricaded with chairs. In the face
of this opposition Jagota abandoned his
claim to the pew and refused 10 pay for
il. ThereUpon Graves brought suit
against the congregation to recover the
amount he lost because he was unable
