BRAVE NEGRO
HELD BOMB
Saved the Statue Of Freder-
ick the Great
WAS GIFT OF KAISER
Had II Not Been For Nesro's
Action Statue Would Have
Been Destroyed
WAS GIFT OF KAISER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE police
investigation of the alleged attempt TO
blow up the statue of Frederick the
Great tends to demonstrate that the
affair was in the nature of fake
caused with the view of creating
sensation rather than Of defacing or
damaging the statue The investga-
ton shows that the materials used
were incapable Of producing very seri-
Gus results.
An early account said that an unsuc
cessful attempt was made by one or
more civilians to blow up the statue Of
Frederick the Great, recently present
ed to this government by the emperor
of Germany and now standing in the
War college grounds.
A charge of explosive with lighted
fuse was attached to the fence sur
rounding the statue, but was removed
by an employee before it exploded.
No damage resulted to the statue or
to property or persons.
Prompt measures were taken to de
tain the perpetrators of the crime be
fore they left the grounds, but they
were not captured.
A stranger drove up to the statue in
carriage and arranged his plans care
fully for the explosion. He hung a
long fuse bomb on the fence surround
ing the statue while pretending to take
a photograph and then drove hastily
away.
A negro named Ellis saw the satchel
or suit case containing the bomb, and,
the handle, he raised the suit case off
the wire hook which held it to the
fence and with swing landed the
bomb" on the ground at the foot of
the steps. An instant later 1t explod-
ed. Soldiers and civilians all through
the reservation heard the report. Near
ly all force was taken from the explo-
sion because the substance was con-
fined by nothing heavier than the imi-
tation leather sides Of the small suit
case. 1t was variously estimated that
from one to FIVE pounds of the sub
stance were in the suit case, which
was blown to atoms.
The driver Of the carriage who con-
veyed the man to the statue was ar
rested and locked up and said that he
received his passenger at the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station; that he left the
carriage apparently to take a photo
graph of the statue; that he left the
carriage en- route back to the depot and
made his way toward the river front
The police are searching for the man.

NO PICTURES
TO BE TAKEN
Pertaining to the Execution
Of Mrs. Rogers.
CAMERA FlENDS PLENTY
But None OF Them Are to Be
Allowed Access to the
Prison.
CAMERA FlENDS PLENTY

Rutland, Jan l0.-John N. Woodfn
OF this city, chairman of the state
board Of prison commissioners, stated
today that not one OF the numerous
papers and magazines in this section
OF the country will be granted per-
mission to take photographs OF the
states prison at Windsor in connection
with the coming execution of Mrs
Mary Rogers, OF Bennington under
sentence of death for the murder Of
her husband, Marcus Rogers.
Applications for such permission
are now being made by the score, 1t APP
parently being the intention of the
papers in the larger cities to make a
great feature of this case.
A large number of camera fends
have appeared at Windsor within the
past few days for the purpose of TAX
ing photographs for publication, but
all of them have been denied access to
the prison by Warden Cakes. In each
case their next move has been to COM
municate with Chairman Woodin but
no better success has been obtained
here.
An artist from one of the big New
York dailies was very indignant yes
terday, when after journeying from
the metropolis to Windsor, he was
told by the superintendent that he
could make no pictures without the
permission of Chairman Woodfn.
When the latter was denied the artist
contented himself with taking photo
graph of the prison at distance and
limiting that he would draw upon his
Imagination for the interior views.
The prison commissioners will do
all they can in this case to hinder the
city papers and the magazines from
making the execution of Mrs Rogers
spectacular, as the latter doubtless in
tend to do.
The application OF a Boston news
paper for permission to take pictures
OF tn interior of the prison was de-
MED last night.

suit of banishing yellow fever through

grateful to this association, some of
whose members were Cuba's greatest
beneiactors, The Punishment of yellow
fever was largely due TO two commits
sions from Washington, the first a
quarter of century ago and the sec
ond twenty years later. The latter de-
cisiyely established the true etiology
of yellow fever Its members were
themselves Frustrated by the disease,
and one. Or. Jesse LaZear, died a mar
tyr to scientific zeal, permitting him
self to he infected and contaminated
by mosquitoes. DR. Finlay praised the
work of Major Gorgas, chief health
officer under General Wood, who,
adopting the commissions findings,
succeeded within seven months in rid
ding Havana of her inveterate enemy.
With reference to the two cases of
yellow fever last October in Santiago
province DR.. Finlay said it. was pre-
sumable that they were transmitted
by mosquitoes from a quarantine ship.
These were the only fever cases since
1901.

Mr. Wilson says that Peck is mag
