 ON MABEN'S PORCH
Burning Fuse ExtinguiShed by
 a PasSer-By
DETECTIVES HAVE NO CLUE
Citizen Who Gave the Alarm Said He Saw a Tall White Man Run
 Past Him--Mr. Maben's Statement.

At an early hour yesterday morning an improvised internal machine with a light ed fuse attached was found on the porch of the residence of J. c. Maben. presi- dent of the Sloss-Sheffeld Steel and Iron company, corner Twenty street and Avenue G, by passer-by who succeed ed in cutting the fuse and preventing an explosion.
 The machine consisted of a pint milk bottle containing powdered dynamite, and the fuse which lead to the can was light ed and was burning rapidly when discov- cred. It required two strokes of knife to prevent the fuse from igniting the cap.
 The man who discovered the machine walked MT. Maben and notified him of his narrow escape. He stated that he was passing by and saw a small light on the porch. He told MT. Maben that just as he was within few feet of the steps the fuse sputtered, and he ran up a small flight of stone steps to the yard; that as he reached the yard white man, evidently about six feet tall and wearing a heavy mustache, ran past him and dis

Value of a Plays Title.

AL H. Wilson, the golden voiced sing CT" and German dialect comedian who will appear at the Jefferson theatre to- night tomorrow matinee and tomorrow night in his romantic comedy, The Watch on the Rhine" relates the follow ing good story
 During his engagement in Minneapolis a short time ago his managers, Messrs. Yale x Ellis, were the recipients of communication from a new laundryman's association, lately organized in that city. They desired a benefit and wanted POO tickets at q reduced rate, for as they had been informed by an active member that the title of the play was '"rhe Wash on the Line" it would they thought. att association of that character.
 Messrs. Yale & Ellis replied that the aforesaid active member was much in need of spectacles for the title of the play was ''The Watch on the Rhine" and not srhe Wash on the Line" but never for the POO tickets.
 To this the laundrymen stated that they had concluded to drop the matter. as the word Rhine" in the title savored too much of an antagonistic butchers union that held their meetings in the hall above.
 Messrs. Yale & Fills have come to the conclusion that there is much value In the title of play.

 MT. Maben was then aroused, and his entire household was badly frightened. There was sufficient dynamite in the Jar to have wrecked the entire house, and probably killed every occupant. Police man Perkerson was summoned, and made an investigation, which the police are following up. Mr. Maben said last night
 T was awakened about 130 o'clock by this gentleman, who requests that his name be withheld from the public. He pounded on the door and 1 came down. Then he showed me the dynamite and the half burnt fuse. I do not see what motive there could have been for any one to attempt my life. do not believe tha. have an enemy m the city. It is true that the mine workers are on a strike and that sometimes leads to deeds of violence, but l am still on friendly terms with them. It may have been a crank, or it may have been someone with a fancied grievance"
 The police are at work on the case but thus far have found no practical clue.
 The house of MT. Maben was carefully guarded last night so as to prevent a repetition of the danger.
 Scores of citizens called at MT. Maben's office in the Woodward building yester- day to express their feelings and extend their congratulations at his escape from harm

Capital and Labor.

"I believe that both capital and labor should be organized for their own pro- tection. But gaze upon MT. Roosevelt He stood motionless while the Cripple Creek, Colo, troubles were going on. Out there they were putting white men in bull pens, were then placing them in box cars and deporting them to adjoining states, while our President stood notion less because any move that he might have made would possibly have hurt his polit- ical aspirations. That Is the man the re- publican party is trying to force upon 'the people of the United States"
 Captain Hobson then proceeded to dis cuss the race question. He declared in the beginning that human life is the most precious thing on this planet. He said that his belief was that the day would come when the three races-white, black and yellow-will live together mutually, in peace, working out a salvation for all. He said that the white race has been chosen among the others to push forward and to lead on. This, he said heaven had left with the white race to work out. He declared that the white race should help the black man, but that administration of government must remain for all times to come In the hands of the white man. he said that the white man would make a mile In progress while the negro is turning a hundred yards.
 'It is intimated in the platform of the republican party" said the speaker, that the new constitutions of southern states f,,. .rf1 of stitution but this Is of no significance It is only political scheme. There are 5000 negro voters in the doubtful states and these are being played for by the President. The President forced the Chi cago convention to have his nomination seconded by negro, which action was without parallel.
 '"The President invited the negro Wash ington to dine with him. and you will recall the general wave of lawlessness that followed all over the United States. This breaking of the law comes right to our own dear state. Look at your sis ter city of Huntsville. I do not charge the republican party with these crimes but I do charge the delegates to the republican convention with having acted under the lash of the whip of their emperor. Down at my home In Greens boro had some friends to call on me and as it was growing late I invited them to spend the night at my home. They de- clined my invitation saying that just at this time the white men did not feel disposed to leave their wives and fam flies at home over night"
 Captain Hobson closed his address by making an appeal for a stronger and better navy He reviewed the situation in the orient, giving his ideas of the possible results. His address lasted about one hour and forty minutes. Luring the meeting the following tele- gram was received:
