BIG BLAZE FROM TWO DROPS
Test of Contents of Internal Machine
Mailed in Philadelphia Reveals
Its Deadly Character.

Erie, Pa. Dec. 25.-Chief of Police
Wagner made test today of the con-
tents of the bottle found in the infer
nal machine nailed to Archie Carr, 220S
Cherry street, this city, at the South
Erie sub-postoffice yesterday. He pro-
cured two drops of white liquid on a
piece of wood and, taking it to the
open air, touched a match to the fluid.
When the blaze reached the stuff a
sheet of fame at least four feet high
shot into the air, proving the solution
to be a dangerous one. The bottle is
being carefully guarded, and will be
examined by a chemist tomorrow.
Postal authorities refused to make
any statement today, simply saying
that inspectors are at work on the
case
Carr is employed as deiiveryman in a
local department store, and is in poor
circumstances. He is married and has
three children Carr says he has not
the faintest idea as 70 who mailed the
package, and that so far as he knows
he has not an enemy in the world

MARINES GOT RIOTOUS.
Entire Police Reserve Called Out at
Norfolk, Va.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 25.-Boisterous
celebrating of Christmas by marines
from the navy yard and training sta
tons necessitated the calling out of the
entire police reserve tonight. The ma
rines. who were celebrating the holiday
in squads of from fifteen to thirty, had
frequent collisions with negroes, who
stood their ground at times, and rough
and tumble fights occurred. The wide
area the marines covered handicapped
the police until reinforced by the re-
serves.
Recently the recruits at the training
school have had tits with the negro
servants, and tOnight's demonstration is
attributed to this fact.

ished coaling, for work was suspended
today, but tomorrow ii will be resumed
