ATTACK ON SAGE RECALLED.
Similar Atte-fp: on New York MIL
Itonaire's Life Made Six Years Ago.


Honaire's Life Made Six Years Ago.
New York, Jan. 5.-There is a striking
similarity between the Philadelphia az
fair and the attempt of Henry l. Nor
cross to kill Russell Sage in this city
six years ago. Norcross threw a bomb
at Sage, the explosion seriously injuring
Sage and William Laidlaw, slightly
wounded other persons, and demolished
the Office
Norcross was a note broker, with an
Office in Pearl street, Boston. he con-
ceived the idea Of getting money from
Sage by threatening his life and in pur-
suance Of his. plan manufactured a de-
structive bomb in his office. The bomb
he placed in a satchel, and then started
Tor New York
On December 4. 1901. Norcross walked
into Sage's Office at u Broadway. carry
ing the satchel- Handing the clerk A
card Inscribed ~. D. Wilson. he asked
that Sage be notified Sage sent back
word that he had some important sp-
pOintments but would see Wilson later.
NorcrOss instructed the clerk to tell Sage
he had letter TO him from Rockefeller.
and would take but a moment Of his
time Upon receipt of this information
Sage stepped into the reception room,
where Norcross was waiting. Just at
that moment Laidlaw entered the re-
ception room and passed into the interior
Office. NorcrOss approached the old
financier and handed him a neatly folded
note. Sage opened it and read:
This bag / carry contains dynamite.
/ demand from you S1.6C0GJ0. If you re-
fuse I'll blow I'd the building and every
one in it. VIII YOU give me the money?
Yes or no?"
Sage did not lose his nerve. He read
the note again. and sought to move to-
ward the interior Office. NOrcross fol-
lowed and dropped the satchel. The re-
port was terrific. Norcross was blown
TO pieces Norton. a clerk. was blown
through a window into Rector street.
Sage. I.aidlaw. and the others in the Of
fee were thrown 20 the floor
There WAS nothing about NOrcrOss by
which the detectives could establish his
identity A reporter secured a piece Of
the mans clothing and d button with
shred Of cloth attached. The button bore
the name Brooks. Boston" Taking
these pieces Of evidence the reporter went
TO Boston and established beyond ques-
ton that NOrcross was the man who
threw the bomb.
La!dlaw soon after the explosion set
up a claim that Sage had used him as
a shield. and thus saved his own life
He brought suit that dragged through the
courts for several years, and was finally
defeated shortly before Sage's death.

Special Agent William Whittam. ir.. who
was sent to England last fall to investi-
gate the cotton trade. made his first re-
port TO the Department OF Commerce and

tensify competition in foreign markets.
and when all the new machinery is in op-
Grafton, American manufacturers will
have to fight more strenuously than ever
before If the American export trade is to
