The whim of a bank presidents daughter

sengers were Joseph Q. Spnugh, president

BOMB IN TAxICAB STRIKE
strikers AI1eE Its Use Was for the
Purpose of DiscreditinE Cause
of the Men.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The bomb made its
first appearance today in the struggle be-
tween the New York Taxicab company and
ita striking chauffers. which has been in
progress for more than a week. The COM
pany declares that a deliberate attempt was
made by the strikers TO destroy the prop
erty Of the company and the strikers main
tain that the missile was hurled IN an
attempt to turn public sympathy against
them or by some misguided sympathiEer.
The bomb was thrown early today into
the big enclosure in Eighth avenue between
Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh streets,
where $50 taxicabs belonging to the com
pany were stored for the night. The explo-
sion shook the buildings for blocks and
hundreds OF persons In the neighborhood
were thrown into wild excitement. Police
details from many stations were rushed to
the scene and for a time all their efforts
were required To control the great crowd
which had gathered in the vicinity. The
explosion tore a great hole in the rgound.
One of the special policemen on guard de-
clares that he saw the bomb thrown over
a Ugh fence around the enclosure. II struck
near a big tank OF gasoline.
Some OF the strike leaders expressed a
belief that II was not a bomb at all, but a
gasoline explosion due to the inexperience
OF some OF the men who have taken the
places Of the strikers.

advice from learned counsel and the bank

commend itself to every shipper.
