TRY TO Kill
FORTY MEN.
HOTEL WRECKED. BY DYNAMITE
IN EFFORT TO BLOW UP
NON-UNIoN WORkMEN.
CBy Publishers Press.)

McKEESPORT, Pa, Oct. ia
dastardly attempt was made at 4:3o
this morning to blow with dynamite
the Glassport Hotel, on Allegheny
avenue, Glassport which harbored
forty non-union men, employed at the
Pittsbufg Steel Foundry Works.
The building was partially wrecked
and the sleeping inmates thrown from
their beds. Every window in the
house was broken, and the west side
of the building was pushed out with
the force of the explosion. I. N.
Blessed, until two weeks ago a special
officer at the foundry, and who re-
signed to take charge of the hotel at
which the non-union men were stop
ping, believes the attempt at whole
sale murder was the work of men for
merly employed at the plant, or some
person in sympathy with their cause.
Chief of Police Thomas Burns inves-
tigated the premises and found a.
large hole in the floor, and is of the
opinion that stick of dynamite was
placed under the building.
Only the ineXperience of the per-
son who handled the dynamite saved
the forty worlSmen who were sleep
ing in the building, as the charge was
not sufficient to completely wreck the
building. There was a panic in the
building following the explosion, and
scantily clad men rushed from it with
faces and sought shelter
in the mill yards, a block away.
Burgess II. c. Griffin is investigat-
ing the affair, and wholesale arrests
are expected.

a VERY PL LEAS-
ANT MEETING.
WAS THE GATHERING OF THE
SUFFRAGiSTS AT THE MAN
LEY HOTEL PARLoRS.

The Political Equality Club met
last night in the Manley hotel par
1ors. There was large attendance,
and seven additional names were
presented for membership. This
shows that the sentiment in favor OF
this movement is rapidly spreading
and those interested are very much
encouEaged over the outlook Miss
Kate NJ Gordon was again present
and in response to a number of ques
tions talked for some length upon the
suffrage problem. The outlook in
the South is very encouraging for those
who would emancipate women, be
cause the new enfranchisement of wo-
men is the only logical solution to
the great race question. In the North:
ern and Western States, because of
the bitter fight of the politicians their
only hope lies in the recognition and
support of the labor union. The fed
GRAFTON of labor all over the country
has recognized the justice of their de-
mand and has openly declared in fa-
vor of the movement.
Whenever one or the other of the |
dominant parties insert this suffrage
plank in their platform, they are &C.
ing to receive mighty Reinforcement |
Of votes. Miss Gordon declares and |
within the next four years very large
is going to force from
he leaders tribute to the power and
strength of those who ask that Iheir
light be given to them.

Carroll D. WRIGHT MAKES TALK
ON UNIVERSITY PREsl-
DENTS SIDE.

Iowa City, June 15 (Special)-
At the alumni banquet last night Re
gent Carol D. Wright of Des Moines
sounded the key note Of the reception
which the board of regents has accord
ed the attack on President MacLean
of yesterday afternoon. He said:
Iowa has great university and
she is going to have greater one. If
one half of the alumni would spend one
half Of the energy in upbuilding the
university that some of them have
used in trying to injure it, and if the
papers at Iowa City and in the state
at large would use one tenth of the
space in advertising the university that
they have devoted during the past
two weeks in tearing it down, tying
the hands of the president and attack
ing the governing board, we would
have $500 students here within the
next five years
Alumni Accuse MacLean.
The entire session of the board of
regents yesterday was taken up in
hearing representative alumni testify
against President MacLean. The board
appears to be divided.
Charles Clarke and +. w. Beckman
OF DeS MONIES, gf1oI.l MlliOIl fefIlley
of Iowa City and Ephriam Leach, OF
Independence, and ]. Arthur Cox, OF
Iowa City, appeared before. the board
for the alumni and made charges
against MacLean. They accused him
of general incapability, lack of SINGER
ity, lack of tact in, dealing with fac
ulty and students and lack of influence
with the legislature. President Mac
Lean did not appear before the board
| to repy
