Police Connect Silverstein with

New York, April ]. - Efforts Oh

the Union square bomb thrower. Win
the groups of anarchists have oeen
successful but thus far they nave
been unable to prove that his sensa-
tional act of Saturday was prompted
in any way by these associates. These
DEVELOPMENTS occurred yesterday,
after the arrest of Alexander Berk-
man the anarchist leader and COM
nanion of Emma Goldman, who served
twelve and a half years in prison Tor
shooting Henry C. Frick, the Pitts
burg capitalist. The detectives snow

court that Silverstein held card or

treasurer, and this card was signed
by Berkman, but their attempt 10
show that Berkman knew Silversteln
or that he and his friends In any d.

was for the time futile.
Berknan Is Paroled.
The police asked Magistrate
Droege. before whom Berkman was
arraigned. to hold the anarchist for
forty-eight hours as a suspicious per-
son, but in the absence of any def
mite charge the magistrate refused
their request The magistrate pa
rolled Berkman on his own recogni-
ton, the latter promising to appear
whenever wanted.
Berkman was taken into custody
early yesterday on the strength of the
card and a couple of circular letters
found in Silverstein's apartments, all
of which bore Berkman's signature.
The letters were written in Hebrew
and were requests for contributions
for the defense of two anarchists re-

he expected to be arrested and had

In anticipation thereof. He willingly

IRISH HOME RULE ADVANCED.
House Of Commons Passes Resolution
Favoring Regulation by Irish.

TouSS OF commons Passes Resolution
Favoring Regulation by Irish.
London, April l. The house of
commons last night, after a lengthy
debate on the question of home rule
for Ireland, adopted by vote of 313
to 1877 a motion moved by John F..
Redmond. the Nationalist leader, that
In the opinion of this house solu
tion of this problem can only be at
tanned by giving the people legislative
and executive control of all purely
Irish affairs" after the resolution had
been amended by adding the words
"all subject to the supreme authority
of the imperial parliament"
1t was known before hand that the
debate could have but an academic
interest because the government had
already pledged that there would be
no delay in the matter of home rule
until 1t had been given a mandate at
the general election. But the debate
was made notable by the strong dec
laration Of Chancellor Asquith, which
was all the weightier because it was
made at the moment Mr.. Asquith is
actually assuming the premiership.

DEATH list MAytxCfED SEVENTY
f,reat Forces of Men at Work Removing
Wreckage Caused BY Mine
Disaster.

Hanna, Wyo., April 31.-An Official
list of the known victims of the mino
disaster here Saturday was given out
Yesterday by the Union Pacific Coal
company. 1t contains sixty-tw0 names
and 1t is believed that eight or ten
others also met death in the mine.
The entrance of the mine, where
the dead miners are entombed, has
been sealed, and until the fire is
smothered or some method is devised
for lifting the lethal gases which fill
the working and it becomes possible
to go down the slope and fight the
flames at close quarters, no effort to
enter the mine will be made Great
forces of men are laboring at both
slope entrances removing wreckage.
Awful Force Of Blasts.
So powerful were the blasts of burn
ing gas that the Innings of the slopes
were stripped and hurled forth, to fall
in fragments over a wide expanse of
prairie. Timbers as large as tele-
graph poles were broken 1000 feet
from the pit Yesterday the task of
restoring some semblance of organi-
cation to the permanent arrangements
were in progress for the opening of
70. mine. long idle, and for work
ing No. 2, which produces an inferior
quality Of coal. With the fate Of
their comrades SO fresh in their
minds the employees of No. Q are
somewhat reluctant to return to their
perilous occupation.
Probe by Coroner.
Coroner Bennett has viewed the
three bodies recovered before the Sec
ond explosion and the two blown out
by the second explosion. He will be-
gin an inquest when 1t is known
whether or not the remaining bodies
can be recovered and will attempt to
get at the cause of the explosion.
Men who came from the mines a
few moments before the first explo-
sion say there was much gas present.
The second explosion undoubtedly
was caused by gas.
The condition of the bodies recover
ed preclude the possibility that any
Of the men In the mine survived the
second explosion.

Explodes Prematurely as Red

Squad of Police.
10000 UNEMPLOYED IN RIOT
Meeting in New York Is Broken Up;
Socialists Charge Police With
Iaciting Riot.

New York, March 81. - A red flag
| fiuttered in Union square Saturday; a
bomb fell; two men lay dying in the
peoples playground and New York
awoke to the fact that it harbored
those prepared to give their lives in
armed resistance OF constituted au-
thority.
The bomb was intended for police
men, who. with rough firmness, had
broken up a meeting of 10000 unem-
ployed. 1t exploded prematurely in
the hands of the assassin, horribly
wounding him, killing his companion
and slightly injuring four policemen.
Hunter Intended to Speak.
Robert Hunter, the noted sociolo-
gist, last night declared that he was
not only present at Saturdays demon
stration, but that had opportunity Of
fered he would have addressed the
rowd in defiance of police prohibition
and so brought 4 test in the courts of
the right of free speech. Mr. Hunters
position in the whole matter was set
forth In a statement over his sigma
ture given to the Associated Press.
The writer deplores the outrage" of
the bomb and refers to its author as
fanatic, who has injured the cause of
the unemployed.
Police Were Brutal.
Mr.. Hunter says until he arrived at
the square he was ignorant of the fact
that speechmaking had been forbid
den. He learned this of the police
and then he determined to speak in
order that the right Of peaceful assem-
bly, and free speech might be tested
In the courts. He adds that he had
no chance to be heard, for presently
the police charged the crowd with in
credible brutality" Mr.. Hunter de-
scribes his own escape from under
horses hoofs. tells how he was drag
ged by officers from the steps of
building from which he had hoped to
speak, and how what was intended as
q peaceful assembly In furtherance of
aid for the unemployed was broken up

not be duplicated outside of Russia"

PRESIDENT PUTS
HUP TO CONGRESS
Special Message Calls Attention
to Measures Which De-
mand Attention.
IAkfs the PART Of LABOR
New Employers Liability Act; Modifi.
cati0n Of lajunction Power;
Tariff Revision.

Washington. March 81. - A special
message from the president was read
In both houses OF congress yesterday
The president calls attention to GER
tain measures upon which he thinks
action should be taken by congress
before the close Of the present SEES
sion. As regards most IL not all Of
the matters, bills have been intro
duced into one or the other Of the
two houses, and the president thinks
It Is not too much to hope that action
will be taken one way or the other on
these bills ut the present session. The
president says that he has repeatedly
suggested action on most Of these
measures.
The message was closely followed
IA the house. The declaration that
the time had come for a revision OF
the tariff was applauded by the Demo
Gratis. The Republicans confined their
applause to the message as a whole.
Briefly stated the measures upon
which action Is urged are:
Prohibition OF child labor through
out the nation.
An immediate re-enactment of an
employers liability law conforming to
the recent decision Of the United
States supreme court.
A law giving compensation to gov
eminent employees for injury or death
incurred In Its service.
Action in regard to injunctions in
labor disputes.
Amend the interstate commerce law
20 20 to give the railroads the right
to make trafic agreements subject to
the approval Of the interstate COM
merce commission.
Encouragement Of trade agreements
between employer and employee.
Nothing should be done to legalize
either blacklist or boycott that
would be Illegal at common law.
Prompt action on financial lsgisla-
ton and postal savings bank.
The time has come when We should
prepare for q revision Of the tariff.
Provision should be made ct this ses-
sion for collecting full material which
will enable the congress elected next
fail to act Immediately after II comes
into existence.
Our forests need protection and one
method Of protecting them would be
to put upon the free list wood pulp,
with . corresponding reduction upon
paper made from wood pulp. The
president expresses the opinion that
this change In the tariff could be
made with advantage forthwith.

Twisted All Four Masts Of Schooner
James o. Drake.

The four-masted schooner James B.
Drake Is at McPhee's shipyard In Bos'
ton undergoing repairs for one Of the
most peculiar accidents in the history
Of navigation.
While cruising in southern waters
the schooner was caught in a cyclonic
storm which revolved around the YES
sci In such a manner that all four OF
her masts were twisted in their steps.
When the ship carpenters investigat-
ed the schooner preparatory to begin.
ming their work they could scarcely
believe their eyes. Plainly some ro-
tary motion Of wind and storm had
caught the poles in . leverage. fore
ing them just half way around. No
explanation Is offered for the masts
not coming out Of the vessel. All four
are standing and have been carrying
sail ali the way TO port No other dam
ago vas received during the storm.
