The lust for gold and the hunger
for power have ridden roughshod over

DYNAMITE PLOT
 WIPED IN THE BUD
Several Denver Bankers Nar-
 rowIy Miss Death
GOVERNOR IS ALSO IN IT
Internal Machines Reach Destination, But Through Warning They Are Prevented From Causing
 Destruction.

Denver Col October S.-Gov. Henry A. Buchtel, David H. Moffat, president of the National Bank of Denver, and Charles B. Kountze, president of the Col orado National bank, received through the mails today internal machines con tainng sufficient dynamite to have caused great destruction of life and property had they been exploded. Fortunately warn, ing had been received by Chief of Police Michael Delaney, who obtained confes- sion from Kemp V. Bigelow. by whom they were mailed
 Bigelow confessed also that he had sent internal machines to Lawrence c. Phipps and Edward Chase, but these were not delivered today. The machines received by Moffatt and kountze were turned over to the police department. One sent Gov ernor Buchtel was received by the gov ernor's private secretary, Alfred C. Mont gomery who removed the wrapper dis closing box with sliding cover. His suspicion was aroused and he reported the matter to Governor Buchtel, who then informed him that he had been warned by the police to be on the look out for an internal machine.
 Adjutant General Kelly and officers of the police department were called in and the box was carefully examined by them in such manner as to avoid an explo- sion. It was found to contain two sticks of dynamite to which were attached fuses and caps, and which were packed in black powder. The sliding top was lined with sand paper and matches had been placed with their heads in contact with the sand paper, so that they would have been. lighted If the box had been opened in the manner intended, thus caus- ing an explosion of the dynamite. Tho other internal machines were counter parts of this one.
 Bigelow gave no satisfactory explana- ton of his motive for sending the ma chimes and seemed to have no other purpose than to cause sensation. Bige- low, who is 21 years old, arrived in Den yer several weeks ago and secured a position as clerk in book and stationery store. He said he was the son of C. l.. Bigelow superintendent of schools in Bryan, o. On Sunday night Bigeiow noti- fled the police department that he had overheard two men talking about plot to kill Edward Chase, Governor Buehtel and other prominent citizens, and that Mr Chase's residence was to be blown up that night.
 A search in the vicinity of the Chase residence resulted in the discovery of package containing 51 sticks of dynamite. Bigelow's story was regarded with sus- picion and he was placed under arrest Monday night Today he confessed that he himself placed the dynamite near MT. Chase's house where it was found, and that he has sent several internal ma chimes by mail.

RAIN HAS FALLEN IN THE LOUIS LANA CANEBRAkES AND PRES DENT ROOSEVELT sPEN D s TIME READING.

Stamboul, La., October S.-Secretary Latta returned today from his visit to the President in the latters camp on the Tensss river. bringing with him a batch of newly dictated letters and recollections of a very wet night spent in camp. He says that yesterdays rain was even more than was bargained for. and that while the first effect was to put the woods in good condition they became so wet by ? o'clock that the party was compelled to return to camp. The rain. which had be- gun early in the day, continued through the night, and 1t was decided not to ven ture out today owing to the water in the canebrake in which they are hunting. No one has yet sighted a bear, but the dogs found trail yesterday and the profes- sional hunters expressed the belief from the sound the baying meant that they had located real bear. It was dark however, and 1t became necessary to call the hunt off. The President puts in much of his time when not engaged in the hunt in reading and In conversation with his associates and the guides and hunters who accompany them. Another deer was shot yesterday.

NEW NAME IS DISCUSSED

Richmond, Va, October S.-The Epis- copal convention held interesting ses- sions in both houses. the bishops dis cussing the question of dividing the church into eight provinces. each to hold synod yearly at which the Dish . ops and the laymen will sit. No action was taken.
 The house of deputies spent the fore noon in discussing rules of business. Later in the day Dr. Huntington of New York spoke in favor of his pre- attempt to change the title of the church from Protestant Episcopal church to American church. Judge Olds of Virginia spoke ns opposition, as did Mir Mcconnell of Louisiana, and several others. Judge Olds moved to strike out the word American, but his motion was defeated

 islands.

Sensation Is Caused B the
 Thiefs Confession
SYSTEMATIC PLAN WORKED
Antone Thomas Gives Himself Up to Authorities and Makes Remark able Statement to Clear Names
 of His Mother and Sister.

Paris, October S.-Considerable sen sation has been caused by the remark able confession of Antone Thomas of Clermond Ferand, who was arrested with his mother and brother, charged with complicity in the theft of the fa- nous cope of Orth, which belonged to the state and was valued at $12O000, from the Church of Anna Bazac, near Limoges.
 For months precious relics have been disappearing from churches creating the impression that gang of thieves were systematically at work. Thomas who gave himself up to clear his moth- CT and sister, now asserts that this theory is correct. He declares that aft CT the passage of the church and state separa tion law and the taking of tn church inventories began, antiquaries of Paris, some of whom are million aires, hired him and others to go through the country and bribe the parish priests to surrender the relics and substitute commercials which could be turned over to the state. He says this plan of opera tion continued for months. but as many of the most val uable church treasures could not be counterfeted he finally went boldly into the business of wholesale bur glary. Thomas estimated the amount of his robberies at $400,000.
 The cope of Orth belonged to the Or der of Grammont, or Grammontains, whose moriastery was situated at Mu- ret, near Limoges. It disapupared diir- ing the French revolution when the order was dissolved and later turned up in the Church of Anna Bezac from which it was stolen. Thomas says he sold it to an antiquary of London for $10,00O He further declares that the antiquaries of Paris get rid of their "plunder" in England and America and announced his intention to make clean breast of it.
 Thomas apparently was respectable cooper in Clermont Ferand, and the arrest of his mother and brother caused a furry of excitement in the old town. To the examining magistrate ThomaS said: T regret nothing. l came to save my innocent mother and brother and a married woman whom l love and who is compromised by the seizure Of certain correspondence"
 Thomas declares that on his travels he found other men engaged in similar work. and this indicates that the sys- tematic plundering of churches had been organized on an extensive scale.
