Detectives Of Two Concerns and the
Local Police at Work On Bridge
Matter --CIues Being Followed.
SUSPICIOUS MAN SEEN ON TRAIN
South Amboy Passengers Hear Him
Mutter Something About We'll
Fix Them To Rush Repairs.

Detectives in the employ of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company and the
New York 6 Long Branch Railroad
are gathering evidence which tends
to show that the attempt to blow up
the draw of the new railroad bridge
will dynamite Tuesday night was
the tan of some people who wanted
revenge. While the detectives are
not giving out any information as to
what they have learned it is said
that they received some valuable tips
last night which may lead to arrests.
The local police are working with
the detectives.
1t was learned this morning by a
NEWS reporter that the Pennsylva-
MIA Steel Company has been the OBJ
5ect of several attacks similar to the
one at the railroad bridge here Tues
day night. A short time ago an
attempt was made to blow up q rail-
road bridge at Hackensack on which
they were at work, and several weeks
ago part of bridge in Brooklyn,
which they were building, was dam
aged. The men who did the jobs in
all cases managed to escape. AS the
company has refused to recognize
any union since It's strike several
years ago and employs both union
and non-union iron workers, the sus-
picion is growing that labor agitators
are hiring men to make all the
trouble.
A clue comes from South Amboy
to the effect that yesterday morning
several residents of that place no.
ticed suspicious looking character
board train in this city. The fellow
was a medium sized man. His ap-
pearance was that of a mechanic.
He had scar of cut that at some
time had been made across his right
cheek extending from his nose nearly
to his ear. He seemed very nervous,
and was heard as II talking to him
self in this manner: Damn them,
we'll fix them yet" When the train
reached Jersey City he hurried to
the ferry.
While examining the damaged
draw yesterday afternoon Detective
Sergeant Huff found a piece of un-
used fuse, about half foot long. It
was about the same thickness as an
inside telephone wire. The fuse is
now at police headquarters. Wheth-
er or not an attempt was made to
blow up another part of the bridge
at the same time Is not known. EN-
ployes on the structure still stick to
the theory that the men who made
the attempt to blow up the draw
came up the Raritan river in a
launch.
1t is the belief of the detectives
that the work was that of men who
were used to handling dynamite, and
that they had intended to place the
charge more iE the middle Of the
draw, than coward the northern end,
as was the case, SO that it would in
jure the entire iorn work.
Repairs will be started at once and
the work will be rushed so as to get
the bridge in use in time for the
summer travel to the shore.
