FOUND IN TIME
Dynamite With Fuse Burning Would Have Wrecked Astor Hotel
 and Theater.

New York, Feb "A quantity of dynamite to which was attached q fuse that had eben consumed to with in few feet of the explosives before it stopped burning, was found to-day at the bottom of derrick in the re'ir of the new Astor theater, at the northwest corner of 45th street and Broadway. Had the dynamite been exploded it would have wrecked the portion of the building already erect ed, and probably have seriously dam- aged surrounding buildings, including the Hotel Astor, at the southwest cor ner.
 There has been strike of the iron workers on the thea'ter since January 1, and non-union men were employed in their places. The work had pro gressed to the second story.
 The dynamite was placed i'll about dozen holes bored in the derrick post and boom. There were also loose sticks of it about the base of the der rick, which would have exploded and added to the wreck with the detona- tion of the main charge. There were several pounds of the explosive i'll all. It was discovered by foreman. The matter was reported to the police and an investigation was begun.

BILLY KEPT THE LID ON.
But the Bosom of His Trousers Suf- fered for His Truly He
 roic Act.

Miss Kathryn Finney is not only an accomplished and efficient schoolmarm of West Grove. teaching the young idea at Cedar Bluff how to shoot jack rabbits, pigeons and other brilliant flashes of silvery fowl on golden.xing. but, what is a more rare virtue, says the Mount Morris Qa.) Index. she is just as willing and efficient in the kitchen, where she assists her good but frail and slender mother with the homework in all her spare moments. The other day, like a duti- full daughter, she made 6 glorious batch of bread, and as she is an en- ergetic young woman, the dough must have taken after her--in fact, it rose until 1t covered the table, and for fear it would run her out of the house, Miss Finney hastily placed 1t in the oven. But alas, like the woes of Tantalus, who died of thirst amid a sea of waves. this only made mat ters worse. For that yeasty bread continued to rise, while Miss Kitty held up her hands in despair. But not so Billy. the noble Billy. Miss Kitty's father. who, fearing the top of the stove would fly through the ceiling, in a moment of forgetfulness sat down on it. Now, don't talk of Hannibal looking down on the plains of Italy, or Pompei dividing the world with Caesar. Here was far greater heroism. And lest the profane might laugh at the patch in Billy's trousers. I hasten to assure the public that the woes of truthful correspondent are beyond the power of language to oypracc

German Papers Take an Apprehensive
 View of Affairs.

Berlin. Feb While government circles maintain an Outwardly hope full attitude regarding the conference at Algeciras. the indications are that much concern is felt about the out come. Even a failure to reach an agreement on the police question is re- garded as probable. This inference is drawn from the fact that the in- spired press has begun discussing the probable results of a failure to reach an agreement. These papers assert that q failure would not involve the danger of war so far as Germany is concerned and they argue that France would never go to war on account of Morocco. These papers interpret the warning of the Havas agency against ''excessiye optimism" as proving the pacific intentions of the Paris govern ment. The result of a failure to reach an agreement would be. according to German inspired utterances. that Mor- ocean affairs would continue to be regulated under the arrangement of ISSl. But more critical observers point out that the controversy of 1fstl5 originated despite that arrangement and that the conference being due to German initiative its failure would involve serious damage to German prestige.
 The Hamburger Nachricten says a failure of the conference would inten- sify the friction between Gertany and France and compromise Ger many's position

BURGLAR ESCAPED
Young Woman Discovered Night Marauder Ransacking
 Her Room.

New York, Feb "A burglar broke into the home of Leopold Wormser, a retired banker, in West Seventy-tirst street, opposite the Hotel Majestic, early to-day, stole jewels valued at $3,0000, and escaped with the booty. Most of the gems belonged to MT Wormser's daughter and were taken in her room. Miss Wormser was aroused by q noise in her room about 3:30 this morning. Thinking it was mice, of which she is very much afraid, she screamed. Then she saw man standing before her bureau. She sprang from bed and faced the in- truder, who turned and ran down stairs with the young woman in pur- suit. She aroused her father and brother and search of the house showed that the parlor floor had been ransacked, but nothing except the jewelry was missing. Mir Wormser fired his revolver from the front stoop to attract the police, but the burglar had escaped.

RIGHT TO KILL Sentinel 0beyed But
 His Orders. THIEF WAS SHOT War Department Will Test Its Right to Protect the Soldier Who
 Executed His Law
 full Orders.

Washington, Feb 7.-The war de- partment is making ready to test to the utmost it's right to protect the sol dier who, in the execution of lawful orders, kills a civilian. To that end, preparations are in progress for q sturdy defense before the Oyer anu terminer court of Allegheny county, Pa, in the case of the sentinel, Dowd, who with his officer, Lieutenant Ralph W. Drury, was indicted for killing a young man named Crowley two years ago last September, while the latter was stealing copper from the Ale gheny arsenal.
 The supreme court of the United States recently rendered an opinion in this case, but this related only to the right of the state judiciary to deal with the prisoner, who was shot out side of the government reservation. Two women testified Crowley was fleeing and was shot in the back, but medical testimony will be produced at the next triad in April in an effort 10 demonstrate that this was impossible. The supreme court has remanded the prisoners to the custody of the state officials, and both Dowd and Drrlry have been bailed to appear when wanted. In this trial the war depart ment will seek to establish the right of soldier to pursue an escaping prisoner beyond the bounds of its re- servations and to shoot at him if nc cessary to secure the protection Of government Incidentally it will be contended that the killing of Crowley was not an act of malice. The war departments contention is that while it is anxious to surrender to the civil authorities soldiers who transgress the civil law, the Crowley case in wolves dangerous precedent.

STATUE OF FRANKLIN
Which i, to be Given to the Municipality of
 Paris.

Washington, Feb 7.-Religious coll ditions in the Philippine islands were discussed by Secretary of War Tart last night at the opening session or the Joseph Priestley conference at All Souls church.
 The evening was devoted to the suD- feet Religion and the Modern Mind. Robert s. Woodward, president or the Carnegie institution, declared that Tn comparison with the works of Joseph Priestley the deeds of Napoleon were insignificant.
 Secretary Taft referred to his con nection with the Unitarian church. He stated that the disappearance of religious intolerance, which was manifest in the time Of Jo- seph Priestley, was due in a great measure to the liberal stand taken by the Unitarians..
 Tt has been three hundred years since the Roman Catholics establlsnea themselves in the Philippine islands said MT Taft, ''and the work of thelr friars for the cause of civilization IS to he praised. But the exercise or their political as well as their relig- ious power in the islands created Il strong prejudice against the members of the order and at the beginning or the insiIrrection about sixty of them were killed, while nearly 500 were inl' prisoneu. .,..ss-. -,,
 "These unfortunate frfars were the owners of much property and it was a question with the United States gov. ernment as to whether peace should be established with their reinstate- ment or whether they should be dis placed and their lands purchased py the government.
 The secretary said he was selected as n messenger to Rome. the matter was amicably settled and religious peace reigns on the islands. Catholics and Protestants uniting in many ot the ceremonies of the country.
 '.I give this as demonstration or the improvement of the present condi- tions over those of Joseph Priestley's time" said Mir Taft, "and we, as Uni tarians, may feel that the world IS coming our way.
 An address also was delivered ny Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the United States senate.

ONE MORE ARREST
Dr. James A. Grady Served With a Warrant But is Quickly
 Released on Bail.

The lateSt development in the al legged insurance frauds was the arrest of Dr James A. Grady, which took place at Il o'clock to-day. He is charged with conspiring to defraud the Woodmen of the World and the A. O. U. w. The arrest was made by Detec- tive DOdds at the doctors office. He was taken to the detective bureau and was asked by Prosecutor A.eigs to make a statement. The indignity of the lookup was not put on him. Miss Mary C. O,Neill. stenographer for At torney M. J. Byrne, was on hand to take whatever the doctor might wish to say, but her services were not need ed, the doctor declining to say any thing.
 Attorney Kennedy, counsel for Me Kiernan in the same matter. was sent for at the doctors request. and to him he referred the officers and the prose- cutor Upon the advice of Mir Ken nedy the doctor declined to say any thing except that he had already made one statement and he did not wish to make another. Almost immediately he was released on bail of $2.O00. fur nished by Chris Strobel.
 Dr Grady did not seem the least dis concerted. He was smoking a cigar ette and seemed to enjoy it. The state ment he had already made was to the effect that the man he examined for insurance in Camp Yates. Woodmen of the World, and who was purported to be Frank Reynolds, was light complex toned and had blue eyes. The man he found to be In good physical condition. Later in the statement he said he could not always remember the physical ap- pearance of those who called to his office on professional business. There was a man with Reynolds. but wheth- CT he was Martin Brophy he could not say. He did not remember asking the nan if he was Frank Reynolds. though it was his impression that he did. He did not know Frank Reynolds or Louis Strauss.
 The case will be called in the city court tomorrow morning. but will he postponed till next Monday. when the other cases will be heard, provided Mir McKiernan is strong enough to be in court.
 Louis Strauss. who has been in New York the past couple of days. re- turned to town last evening. He did not care to make any statements for the paper. but seemed to think That he was getting lot of nOtoriety that his actions did not warrant.

X man who is doing some detective work regarding the alleged conspiracy cases said today that 1t is q miracle how easily women folks take strangers into their confidence and tell them all they know, and probably more. He said he talked with a woman at her home last night and found out more about the Reynolds insurance mixup than he supposed anybody outside those directly concerned knew. He said he got the whole thing except what pertained to one man. and tia; was somebody quite close tO the per son who did the talking. and who may or may not have had very much to dc with the case. This is in line with what a detective who was operating on another case said some time ago. He claimed that there k no trouble in getting onto things from the women provided you strike the house while the men are out He didn't believe they meant to harm anybody. but many of them can't brook the idea of admitting that anything could have happened without their knowledge. Once in A while. he admitted. you en- counter a woman who knows how to keep her mind to herself. and when you meet such person yoH might just as well try tO put down stone wall with your bead as pick anything out of her.
