BOMB DROPPED
FROM L TRAIN
Six Union Plumbers Are Injured in
New York.
RIVAL UNION is ACCUSED.
Explosive Missiles Hurled From Third
Avenue Elevated Train Into Crowd OF
Men on the Street Beneath-Six Men
We're Injured. Though Not Seriously, but
None Were Killed.

New York (SpeciaD. - Two bombs
were dropped from the windows OF a
southbound Third Avenue elevated train
at $50 o'clock P. NJ, into crowd OF
about 200 members of Associated United
Plumbers, Local No. $50, in front OF
Teutonia Hall, 1873 Third Avenue. Six
union plumbers of Lodge 80 were LAGER
ated, though not seriously by the eX-
plosion of the bombs, and after having
been treated by Dr. Herrick at Bellevue
Hospital were able to go to their homes:
After the smoke of the explosion had
cleared away and police reserves from
the East Twenty-second Street Station
had arrived on the scene, President Will
liam Thompson, of Local 40, sought out
Police Captain Hussey, who was making
an investigation of the bombthrow1ng.
Il am convinced that member Of Lo-
cal No 2 of the Plumbers Union did the
trick" said President Thompson.
Shortly after s o'clock the members
of Local No. 4So began to gather III
front of Teutonia Hall, on Third
Avenue, near Sixth Street, in anticipa-
ton of an important meeting of the
uhion which was to be held there. Pres
ident Thompson had met President
Frank Garland, of Local No. 2, the
rival union with whom there had been
intermittent warfare for sometime, IN
the afternoon, and the two had come to
decision on the difference between the
two union lodges. 1t was upon this that
President Thompson was to report. The
members of Local No 40 were waiting
for the Silverworkers of America,
Branch No. I, to vaeate Teutonia Hall
before going into session.
As southbound elevated train passed
by overhead a black object was seen
to fall to the street near the curb
and right in the midst of one segment
OF the crowd of union men. There was
flash and heavy explosion. Out OF
the heavy white cloud of smoke three
men CROPPED their way to the saloon
door, three others lay prone on the
cobbles.
Policeman Perkins, who was standing
on the opposite corner, rushed to the
scene of the explosion and helped carry
the injured men into the saloon. Then
he Immediately rang in call for the
Bellevue Hospital ambulance and sent
in another for the reserves of the East
Twenty Street Station
Police Captain Hussey made search
of the vicinity for possible clue to the
perpetrator OF the attempted wholesale
assassination, but found none. Two men
said that they had seen an arm stretched
out of the window OF the elevated train
as it was going past, and had seen the
package of bombs dropped. There were
two explosions, one following the other
almost simultaneously.
Captain Hussey picked up some burnt
paper, such as that wrapped about giant
torpedoes, but no other fragments of the
bombs could be found He said that it
was his belief that corded bombs, stepped
in nitroglycerin such as Italian bomb
throwers favor, had been the instru-
ments used.
