INTERNAL MACHINE FOR ROOSEVELT

But of the class of bombs which may be called
personal such as the recent Schif bomb of
the most deadly that which might have
ended the life of Theodore Roosevelt. In 1896,
while Mr.. Roosevelt was member OF the loca,
Board of Police Commissioners, he received in
his mail an internal machine which ranks the
most dangerous of the devices of the local eX-
plosive crank. This bomb consisted of a load OF
leaden slugs and high explosive powder packed
in cylindrical tube, resembling an ordinary
mailing tube in which photographs are posted.
The machine constructed that the opener.
following directions on the cover would tear the
outer wrapping. and in so doing scratch a match
attached to the wrapper on a piece of sand
paper and thus ignite the powder and fire the
charge.
AS the Schiff bomb opened by a clerk. so
this opened by policeman. who. following
professional ethics. ignored the directions and
opened the wrong end OF the box. When he saw
a stream of black powder trickling from the
tube he promptly dropped it into pail of water.
and its power for harm ended. Opened
the inventor had planned, it could not have
failed TO kill the person who held it. and the
author of the outrage clearly intended that Mr..
Roosevelt should open it When the affair
reported to Mr.. Roosevelt by the excited police
man, he said. with characteristic GOODNESS:
.'Whew. If Internal machines were all had
to trouble me as Police Commissioner. I'd have
an easy time of it,
But internal machines of potential or apparent
destructivenesS are too TO be regarded as
factor of local life. The class of Internal
chimes that keep policemen busy and experts
worried are those of imaginary character. Only
a few months ago, when the newspapers of the
world were flied with descriptions of the fate of
the Grand Duke Sergius and the bomb outrage
that numbered him among its of victims.
q local merchant, fresh from the perusal Of this
awful story. found his desk what he con-
| ceived to be deadly bomb In horror stricken
apprehension he summoned a police captain.
| who confirmed his worst suspicious on the spot
| With trembling hands they lowered the deadly
| machine into bucket of water and then trans
ported it to the Bureau of Combustibles. When
/ Inspector Murray, who has analysed the in
| fernal machines Of the metropolis for a decade,
looked at the engine of supposed fearful potenti
| alites he leaned back in his chair and laughed
| at the Mortified captain and apprehensive mer
| chant, and then, with difficulty, convinced hem
| that the bomb only a battery. ~. Il op-
| Grated the push button on the merch .nt's lesk,
I and had been carelessy left behind by slec-
| trician who was repairing the apparatus. One
| OF the comnonest varieties of imaginary bombs
