NO CLUESTO BOMB
THROWING PLOT
SUSPECTED
Silverstein Alive But Refuses to
Talk
VICTIMS BODY IS CLAIMED
His Wife Says She Did Not Know
OF His Being an Anarchist
or Socialist

New York. March 29.--This proved a
busy Sunday for the police and the So.
cialists who were responsible for yes
terday's demonstrations. There was
no act of violence or disturbance of
any sort, but the police were busy
looking up the record of the bomb ma.
ker and others under arrest while the
Socialists were as active in repudia-
Ting knowledge of the perpetrator.
Silverstein, the youth in whose hand
the bomb exploded as he was about
to hurl 1t at Captain Miles O'Reilly and
his squad of twenty men, is still alive
at Bellevue hospital tonight. Though
the explosion tore off his right hand.
temporarily blinded him and caused
frightful bodily injuries, he may sur
viye. AS yet he cannot see, but the
sight OF one eye may be restored.
Seven men arrested after the bomb
exploded. were arraigned In court to-
day or that number six called them
selves Russians. One of them was an
American. The foreigners were held
in $4,000 bail each for further exami-
nation while the American was held
without bail. They are charged with
taking part In riot.
The police did not make much pro.
gress today with Silverstein who
though able to talk would not discuss
his act, and WIN asked II he would see
his two sisters who had called at the
hospital, replied only, Il don't want to
see them, and couldn't II / wanted to.
They can see me If they wish" He
exchanged few words with one of the
girls. From the sisters, Selia. aged 81
and Sarah, aged Is, the police learned
that Silverstein is but 10 years Of age.
The brother and sisters came to this
country, they said, five years ago,
adopting their mothers maiden name.
Silverstein got employment with tail
or but had been In poor health for
| years.
The body of Ignatz Hildebrand, the
only person killed by the bomb explo
sion was given to his wife today, and
taken to Orange, N. j., for burial. Mrs
Hildebrand said that her husband own,
ed several tailor shops here, but more
recently he had been interested In a
grocery store in Roseville, N. J. He
had been in this country thirty years,
was a Republican and so far as she
knew always voted that ticket.
The committee of the Socialist party
met before daylight today, and named
a subcommittee of seven to learn II
possible the motive of Silverstein
None had before heard of the bomt
thrower and all regretted his act.

SURELY AN "oRioINAL" NAME.
Curious Error the Result Of Mistaken
Pronunciation.

AnEngllsh country clergyman vouches
for the truth of this story. Having ar
rived at that point in the baptismal
service where the infants name is
conferred, he said: Name this child"
Original Story" said the sponsor
nurse. what do you say" he asked
in surprise Original Story" she re
peated In clear. deliberate tones. IT'S
very odd name, isn't it? Are you
sure you want him called by the name
of Original Story?" Original Story
that's right" rs 1t family name?"
the minister persisted. Named after
his uncle, sir" explained the nurse.
And so as Original Story the little fell
low was christened Some weeks after
this event the minister made the &C.
quaintance Of the said uncle--a farm
laborer in another village-whOse
name was Reginald Story.

Peculiar "Cure Stones.

Occupying an isolated position on
the moors about five or six miles
above Penzance, in Cornwall, England,
a peculiar trio of stones Is to be seen.
They are arranged in a straight line.
the two outside ones being about four
feet high and upright, while the CEN
ter one Is little lower. but much
wider. In the Aforementioned there is
round hole large enough to admit OF
man passing through. This pile Is
known as the "Men-an-tol," Or "Holed
stone" Popular tradition states that
anyone crawling through the hole In
the center stone will be fore ever i'm
mune from rheumatism and allied
complaints. In times gone by the
country people used to bring theiI
children to the "Holed stone" and
pass them through.

of this city, won the worlds champion
ship at 1872 balkine billiards by defeat
ing George Sutton of Chicago by a

being brilliant at open table work,
while Sutton failed to get the worries
into position for his fayOrite balkine
nurse. The game was witnessed by
one of the largest and most represen-

Plaque and EIeas.

The part played by fleas In the
spread of plague Is dealt with in an
able manner by -. w. w. s." in Ma
ture." A Latin writer, Avicenna, 10
quoted to show that about the year
1900 1t was known that there was some
definite connection between rats and
plague. In more recent years 1t has
been matter of common observation
in India that in times Of plague large
number of dead rats are found. And
these are found to contain the plague
bacilli in abundance. In 1898 81
mond expressed the view that In the
majority of cases the plague was con-
veyed from the rat to man through
the agency of the flea. Experiments
which he tried with fieas from rats
dead of the plague showed how this is
possible. Other experimenters have
obtained similar results, while others
have been led to doubt Simond's gen
eralization.

FOUND DEAD IN ROOM
Mrs. Pryor Died Instantly, Traynor
Lived Only a Short Time.

st. Paul March 29.--William NJ
Traynor. 80 years of age, a vaudeville
actor. and Mrs. William Pryor. an
actress. 80 years OF age, were found
shot to death In their apartments at
the Clarendon hotel. The night clerk
heard two shots, and rushing upstairs
found Mrs. Pryor lying dead shot
through the temple. TraynOr had a
wound In the back OF his head. He
died soon afterwards.
A letter full OF promises that had
been sent by Traynor to Mrs. Pryor
before she left her husband was
found In the room. 1t Is believed by
the police that the actress was re-
minding Traynor that he had not
lived up to these promises, and was
threatening to leave him. This
quarrel and business reverses, the
police believe, caused Traynor to shoot
Mrs. Pryor and himself.
Traynor and Mrs. Pryor appeared
on the stage as "Traynor and Tray
nor" They had an engagement al
Minneapolis three weeks hence, but
no work was In sight for the inter
vening time. Only SO was found in
Traynor's pocket.

How to Be Happy.

The record of happiness in every
life is to be doing what you feel you
can do best. and to have your own
inglenook. To do what you can do
best includes the entire gamut from
housekeeper to social queen. though
I should like to turn the gamut up
side down by putting .he homemaker
at the top instead of the bottom Of
the scale. Your own inglenook you
must have, married or single, IL you
would take into your life all the hap
piness it offers, and give out OF
your life all the happiness it owes the
community.-London Pail Mall Ga

REAL ESTATE MAN
 LEAVES SUDDENLY
J, c. PhiIIipson Quits Town Leaving Consolidated Real
 ty Co, in the Hole.

J. c. Phillipson, who, for over year has been in the insurance and real estate business in Globe and whe for the past few months had been manager of the Consolidated Realty company, the largest concern of it's kind in the city, left Globe on Friday mornings train, never to return, unless he is brought back here to answer to alleged crooked dealing with which he is charged. His destination is not known, but it is thought that he went either to Mexico or California. Phillipson is alleged to have defrauded certain business houses, individuals and even the insurance com panes which he represented.
 Thursday at a meeting of the direct ors of the Consolidated Realty com. pany, Ph;llipson was given his walking papers. His conduct of the company 's affairs had been far from satisfactory, but it will be some time before it can be learned how much in the hole he left the company. Yesterday several of the directors of the company were forced to raise $l 400 cash to pay urgent bills which Ph'llipson had contracted for the company. No one has as yet heen appointed to succeed him as gen. eral manager of the company.
 Phillipson is said to have had very shady past, but nothing is known of him previous to his coming to Arizona about four years ago.
