The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1907-10-17

Four Internal machines, each con
tanning enough dynamite and powder
to kill fifty men, were received through
the mail by Charles B. Kountze, presi-
dent of the Colorado National Bank,
Lawrence Phipps. millionaire philan-
thropist; Gov. Henry A. Buchtel and
David H. Moffat, president of the First
National bank. Except for the lever
work of Chief of Police Michael
A. Delaney and Detectives Timothy
Conner, John Kenney. Daniel Delaney
and w. White and Pinkerton Superin-
tendent Frank Cary, in solving the
case, ell OF the aSove men, together
with Edward Chase, near whose resi-
dence a wholesale consignment of eX-
plosives was found Sunday night,
might have been blown to atoms.
Bigelow, who comes of good family
in Bryan, Ohio, where he has a sweet
heart, but who in Denver was a store
clerk earning IS a week, Sunday night
went to the police with fantastic tale
of two men who had plotted the whole
sale assassinations, yesterday, through
the efforts of Chief of Police Mi
chael A. Delaney and others, con-
fessed that he alone was respon-
sible for the attempt at wholesale
murder, and his recital of the details
showed that he hoped by exposing the
imaginary plots to murder to gain the
confidence and good will of wealthy
men, He asserts that he meant no
harm and believed that his story tod
to Policeman Sellers Sunday night
would warn the men whose lives were
threatened and preclude any possibility
of their opening the deadly internal
machines addressed to them. The fact
that the men addressed do not open
their own mail and that people un-
known to him would suffer never en-
tered the shallow brain of the young
man.
~ Need Money" Only Reason.
II needed the money" seemed to be
his only reason for the attempted muir
der.
BY choosing the mails as a means of
transporting his destructive agents,
Bigelow will be held for trial under the
federal statutes. and it is not probable
that he can hope for mercy.
In working on the case the detectives
gained evidence of n startling nature
and which serves to show beyond i
scintilla of a doubt that he is guilty. II
was this evidence, thrust in the face
of the prisoner, so to speak. that
caused him to confess. This evidence
also brought to light the fact that
Bigelow was a scapegoat in his fam
lily flock: that he was forced to leave
Bryan, Ohio, his birthplace, because of
trouble which he had mad with his
father A. l.. Bigelow. a school superin-
tendent, through vicious habits. and
that he had n sweetheart named Edith
in Bryan, to whom he had sent eXpen-
sive presents out of the kendrick sta
tionery store. where he worked, and for
which he never paid
Watched Him Mail Bombs.
The strongest piece of evidence
against Bigelow besides his confession
is the fact that through a clever trick
of the local and Pinkerton detectives
he was Swallowed and seen to mail the
bombs to the men whom he had warned
the police would be assassinated In
his confession Bigelow insists that he
mailed the bombs Sunday, and this
point was allowed to slide by the chief.

GOOD MOVE OF LABOR

Az the result of an elaborate and striking address on the ravages of tuberculosis which was made before the last convention of the American Federation of Labor by a repre- sentative of the national association for the prevention of that disease, the officers and directors of the Federation have decided to in augurate a movemant for the same purpose among the geearners.
 While the Federation takes the ground that unionism, in so far as it strives to improve the general conditions of the wageworkers, is itself potent foe of consumption. the plan" of the fedora tion is not limited to getting new recruits for the unions. While stress if laid on adequate pay, shorter work day, proper child labor laws, hygiene and sanitation in factories, mills, mines and bakeries, and so on, the Federation has many other recom- mendations to make to the organized and unorganized work men of the country with reference to avoidance of and resistance to tuberculosis.
 Among those may be mentioned formation of fresh air clubs, en- couragement of outdoor exercise by factory employees and other "con- fined" workmen, a diminution of the use of intoxicating drinks, ventilation of the living apartments open windows at night, careful washing of hands before mealtimes clean personal habits generally strict obedience 10 rules or ordi- nances against splitting in cars, on sidewalks, shop floors, rooms and railways, and prompt attention tc colds or any other symptoms oi disease.
 The Federation will circulate literature on the subject and en. courage all unions to discuss the problem in the various aspects and impress upon all members itt gravity and importance.
