Omaha, March 10.-This morning
an unknown anarchist entered the
Merchants National Bank and de-
manded large sum of money, at the
same time displaying a bottle be-
lieved to contain nitro -glycerine. and
threatening to blow up the bank il
his request We're not complied with
The man entered the bank soon after
the doors were thrown open, and asked
to see Vice President Luther Drake
in his private office. Drake seated
himself opposite the man, who began
talking in rambling manner about
having had $4,000 in the National
Bank of Commerce, at Kansas City,
when that bank failed.
"And since all you fellows are in to-
gether, you had just better hand me
over my money, or I'll blow you and
this bank and all of US to hell" sud
denly said the fellow, producing a
three-ounce bottle containing a thick
yellow liquid.
Don't you make move. This is
filled with nitlo-glycerine, and if you
move you are dead man.
You don't want to die yourself, do
you?" coolly asked Drake.
"Oh, yes, came in here ready to
die responded the stranger, "but
when die n, take everybody in this
building with me-"
4 We'll I'll 81, and get you the mon
ey,'' said Drake, rising from his chair.
"Sit down." said the anarchist. 'Tf
you get UP again without my permis-
sion I'll just drop this bottle You
know what will happen.
Drake sat down. Drake then told
the man he would talk it over with
him, and the stranger accepted, all the
time keeping the bottle in sight. No
ticing that the man seemed thin and
pinched, Drake asked him If he
wasn't hungry.
Il have been studying over this mat
ter for several days, and have not
eaten thing for forty-eight hours" !"
answered the man.
"Well. let's go and have breakfast,
and talk this over" proposed Drake
"All right; but don't try any monkey
business, or you are q dead man." re-
piled the anarchist.
President Hamilton entered the next
room during the conversation and
heard enough Of it to enable him to
know what was going on AS Drake
and the stranger left the room to-
gether, Hamilton telephoned the po-
lice station for detective, and fol-
lowed the two men to nearby res
tanrant Drake and the man were on
opposite sides of the table, when
three detectives, accompanied by
Hamilton, entered the room. Slipping
up behind the stranger, the detectives
pinioned his arms, and relieved him of
his bottle. He was then taken to the
police station. There he refused to
talk The bottle has been sent to a
chemist for analysis Of its contents.
Later the man gave his name as L.
L. Fee, and said he had come from

NO NEW TRIAL FOR schMiTZ.
Former Frisco Mayor and Ruef May
Go Free,

San Francisco, March 10.-The state
supreme court refused a rehearing in
the case Of former Mayor Eugene E.
SchmitZ, convicted of eXtortion from
French restaurant proprietors and SEN
fenced to five years in the penitentiary.
The opinion was unanimous. This sus-
tains the decision of the district court
of appeals, which decreed that the
judgment and order of the lower court
here sustained the demurrer to the in
dictment and ordered the discharge of
the defendant on the ground that un-
der the law no offense had been COM
mitted.
Abraham Ruef who was Jointly in
dicted with Schmitz. pleaded guilty.
and his sentence is now pending. The
decision of the supreme court also APP
plies to him. 1t Is believed that
Schmitz will Immediately apply for re-
lease from the county jail, and Ruef
may do likewise.

no truth in the reports that detectives
employed by Mrs. William Thaw have
had the younger Mrs. Thaw under sur
veillance for months. Bartlett said that
no proceedings had yet been instituted
looking toward the separation of Thaw
and his wife. The matter is inchoate.
said Bartlett, when asked of possible
proceedings looking to the severance of
marital ties. ''fhere is every dispo-
sition on the part of my clients to be
absolutely fair and Just toward Evelyn,
and to make liberal provision for her
support, and even more than that.
Thaw has sought reconciliation and
has not desired that his wife should
leave him, but she desires a permanent
severance of the marital relations. Any
thought of espionage upon the young
Mrs. Thaw would be abhorrent to Mrs.
William Thaw, and has not at any
time been entertained by her"

EVEN BALANCE IN CONVENTION.
Close Division May Not Be Made On
Any Question to Be Considered.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 10.-When the
state convention meets in Des Moines
one week from tomorrow it is more
than likely that the strength of the
progressives and standpatters VIII be
SO evenly balanced that neither side
will relish a vote on any proposition
that will disclose the strength Of the
two forces. At the same time the
makeup of the convention is such that
there is not going to be any sharp di-
vision of the delegates into two fac
tions such as was characteristic of the
convention of August l., 1906.
There is only one thing that it can
be said now that the convention next
week will do. 1t will endorse the ad-
ministration of Theodore Roosevelt in
no uncertain terms. Further than that
no one can say. There will be many
standpatters in that convention whom
no amount of pressure can force to en-
dorse Senator Allison and there will be
standpatters there who never can be
induced to vote for any such anti-tar-
iff revision resolutions as Lafe Young
would like to see passed.
1t is more than probable that on all
subjects on which the factions are d1-
vided there will be no vote such as
would disclose the division, altho of
course there will be 1,1S4 delegates
there, everyone of whom will have the
right to be heard and everyone Of
whom will have the right to offer reso-
lutions and motions. Usually. how
ever, the leaders are pretty we'll able
to govern those things
There will be an opportunity for a
division when the question of select
ing the four delegates at-large and the
four alternate delegates at-large comes
up But this does not present an in
surmountable difficulty. There are
standpatters in the state whom the
progressives in the state convention
never would consent, without a fight,
being selected for delegates to the ma
tional convention. There are also pro-
gressives whom the standpatters would
fight with equal persistency.
1t is not considered likely that there
will be any compromise that will re-
suit in the selection as delegates-at-
large the radical men of the two fac
tions. 1t is more likely that men who
are recognized as belonging to one fac
ton or the other but classed as "fair,"
will be selected. The results In the
congressional districts seem to indi-
cate that division of the delegates
at-large may result in the entire dele
cation being evenly divided between
the two factions.
