Philadelphia.-It was just 11:40
o'clock, 20 minutes before closing time
at the Fourth National bank on the
morning of January 5, when a tall,
dark, unkempt stranger entered the
bank corridor from the north corridor
Fof the Bullitt building. Patrons of
the bank-not many In number. for
itunately-were passing In and out to
make deposits or drafts before noon.
The clerks and tellers were busy to-
failing up their sheets for the day. The
officers were hurrying to wind up their
business. Scarcely anyone noticed
the newcomer.

Mr.. Rushton saw that the man was

Grabbing, cutting showers Of heavy
glass from the. slkylights and parti
tons some beneath the desks al
which they had been sitting second
before.
Not only from the banks quarters,
but from all over the building came
cries of terror and shouts of warning.
Men and women raced out through
both Of the big doorways into Fourth
street, some fleeing for blocks in their
fright. Pedestrians stopped in amaze
ment as they heard the great boom"
and saw fugitives with bloody faces
and hands pouring from the building.
In the terrific explosion both Nc
Lear and the bomb-thrower were In
stantly killed. A negro messenger
named William Crump. who was try
Ing to eject the stranger, had both his
eyes blown out and was fatally in
jured. A dozen or more employees and
patrons were severely hurt and the
entire first floor OF the bank was
wrecked.
The cashiers body was torn limb
from limb. Both legs were blown off,
one arm was blown from it's shoulder;
half the head was all that remained.
OF the bomb-thrower so little was
left that waste basket contained all
that was later taken to the morgue.
He was literally shattered to atoms.
The only thing that remained intact
about his body or his clothing was a
little brass name plate attached to a
bunch of keys, which was found near
strip of blue cloth that had been
part OF his trousers. The words 'R.
Steele, Garner, Ia" were inscribed
upon the plate. Through this clew 1t
was discovered that the man was Rob-
ert Steele. who had left the Iowa town
six years ago for the east, and had
presumably been living with a wife
and three children somewhere in this
city then. His identity would probably
never have been known for the little
brass plate.
President Rushton, whom the
stranger had left only half minute
before throwing the bomb, escaped
serious injuries, but had several small
cuts on his face and hands. First Vice
President Edward F. Shanbacker,
though only few feet away, was un-
scathed. Second Vice President B. M.
FARES, whose desk is mere step
from the cashiers, probably escaped
death only through having been i'll
and having stayed at home.
The explosions force swept through
every department OF the bank and
wrought havoc as 1t went In the col
lateral department, not far away from
where the bomb was thrown, $4,000
worth of valuable securities were
blown from the desks and trays and
were scattered in twisted, torn mass.

Is supposed that they were pictures
of his wife and daughter. The banker
would not take them In his hand and
scarcely more than glanced at them.
They could not be found later.

President Cowry Sends Out a Letter
to That Effect.

New York, Aug. 23.-Colonel Rob-
ert C. Clowry, president of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, re-
CARDS the strike as ended and has sent
a letter to his superintendents noti-
flying them officially that it is over
and congratulating them upon their
work in handling the situation. Com
menting upon this letter, Daniel l..
Russell chief of the unions board of
strategy, said:
1.-The more desperate the situation
becomes to the telegraph companies
the stronger will be the bluffs. We
know that the Postal and Western
Union are losing from 1000 to $780,
600 a day because of the strike, and
the officials of the companies are try
ing to bring about arbitration without
humiliation to themselves"

MEAT HAULING STOPS.
Drivers for New York Packing Houses
on Strike.

New York, Aug. 23.-Deliveries of
meat from the local packing houses
were completely halted today by the
four hundred wagon drivers who went
on strike last evening. Not a deliv-
cry wagon of the wholesale butchers
was moved during the early morning
hours. The strikers said that only
meat from the Chicago refrigerator
trains was being delivered and that
the drivers who handle that may be
called out on strike today
With stoppage of deliveries from
the meat trains the city would be
quickly affected by a meat famine.
Police reserves were stationed in the
packing house district on the west
side of the city but no disorders were
reported. Inside employees of the
slaughter houses were at work today
while the heads of the affected plants
were busy preparing to break the
strike, which was called without warm
ing by the drivers. The companies,
it was said, would import strike break
ers if necessary.
There has been no little i'll feeling
between the teamSters and the COM
panies for some time. The agreement

that time representatives of both sides
have been in conference endeavoring
to adjust their differences. The team
sters declined to accept the clause in

tion of the mooted questions

ROOSEVELT SIZED TT UP.
The President Looked Into the Wall
Street "Scare'' Before His Speech.

Washington. Aug 23.-Oficials of
the administration assert that when
the president said in his Provincetown
speech that the slump in Wall street
was manufactured for purpose, he
did not speak without information
upon which to base his allegation.
These officials say the president took
pains to have the recent financial con-
ditions in New York carefully investi-
gated and that reports convinced him
tn ere was no genuine scare among
financiers and absolutely no reason for
such a scare.
The men sent by the president to
look into the Wall street situation are
said to have been the secretary of the
treasury, Mr.. Cortelyou, the comptrol-
ler of the currency. Mr.. Ridgely, and
the assistant secretary of the treasury,
Mr.. Edwards Mr.. Cortelyou, it is
said, been in New York week con-
ferring with the magnates of the
financial district and with business
men generally. Comptroller Ridgely
and Mr.. Edwards had been there as
sisting him for three or four days.
These officials. it is asserted, found the
financial and business condition in the
metropolis sound and prosperous and
were told by many substantial bank
ers who are not tied up by the big
Wall street speculatorss that the pres
ent liquidation in stocks was not
forced, but was part of a scheme de-
liberately to depress prices and scare
the public for reasons that were not
difficult to surmise. 1t was on the
strength of these statements that the
president made the declaration in his
PrOvincetOwn speech which has anger
ed some Of the Wall street traders.

ONE MORE CHANCE.
Youthful seHorse Thieves Permitted
to Go Home by Judge Hayden.

Leniency was extended today by R.
F. Hayden, judge of the Juvenile court,
to the youthful gang of horse thieves,
who were taken into custody at Te-
cumseh on Wednesday. which point
they had reached with horse and rig
belonging to S. J. Henry of North To-
peka, and which they had taken ear
lier in the day from in front of the
Auditorium.
These horse thieves consisted of
youngsters ranging in age from eight
to ten years. They were Marshall
Flansburg, Julian Alba, a son of the
proprietor who runs chilli restaurant
at $40 Kansas avenue. and Roy and
Elmer Ragan, a couple of mischievous
youngsters, who have been before the
Juvenile court for variety of pranks
ever since they got out of dresses.
1t was only a few days before this
that young Flansburg, who is eight
years old. was before the juvenile
court on a charge of stealing a BIZ
cycle, and had been allowed to go by
Judge Hayden on his promise to i'm
prove his ways. So when the horse
thieves" had been brought back to
town all of them We're allowed to go
with the understanding that they
would appear at the hearing of the
case today except Flansburg. He was
put in Jail. His mother, who among
other things, breaches sermons on
release yesterday afternoon that she
was allowed to take him home.
He had not been out of Jail long be-
fore he was back there again He and
the Ragan lads went around to the
chilli restaurant last night and asked
for Julian, who had been with them in
the horse stealing prank Mr.. Alba
would not let the boy go with them
So they picked up Augustus, his young
er brother on the street and took him
with them to the roof of a building
where they could watch the show at
the Air Dome. Augustus is but six
years old and when his father missed
him he notified the police. Officer
Keller found the boy with the ban
dts on the roof and restored him to
his father, placing the Flansburg and
Ragan boys under arrest on charge
of kidnapping or some other heinous
offense. The Ragan boys were again
permitted to go home but Marshall
F'lansburg was put in Jail again be-
cause he was only out from there un-
der a promise of good behavior.
When the "horse stealing" case
came up for a hearing in the juvenile
court today, Judge Hayden took the
lads implicated into his private cham
bers and read several kinds of riot
acts to them for their misbehavior
Their parents were given similar talk
ings to and then all of them were al
lowed to go home, even to the FlanS-
burg lad. One of this boys bids to
fame. according to his mother. is that
he could repeat the ten command
ments when he was three years old.
Mrs Flansburg, who is a voluble
talker to say the least. insists that her
son is being prosecuted by the police
officers. and is absolutely innocent of
any of the wrongdoings which has been
charged against him. Mrs. Flansburg
was told by Judge Hayden this morn
ing that the very next time her boy
got in any trouble that resulted in his
arrest, he would be sent to the re-
form school
