DIRECT APPEAL TO
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Leading Kentuckians Ask Federal
interference.

Lexington, Ky. Especially. - The
failure on the part of the state au-
thorities to run down perpetrators of
outrages committed by might rides"
eliminated in direct appeal to the
President OF the United States for
federal interference in Kentucky, in
the form of a petition prepared by
leading men of Lexington and Cen
tral Kentucky, which Is being put
into circulation throughout this sec
tion.
The petitioners are aware that the
President can take no action unless
the Governor so requests, but they
say it is their purpose by this means
to bring the two executives together
in the matter. The petition follows:
ITO the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States,
Washington. d. c.:
Your petitioners all of whom are
citizens and residents of fKentucky, re-
spectfully represent to you the turbu-
lent conditions of civil affairs in this
state.
1.-The conditions in this community
have been fully set out in the news
papers, and the fact that those farm
ers who desire to grow tobacco are
prevented from doing so on account
of force and violence and the de-
struction of plant beds and burning
of barns, has grown into the burning
of dwelling houses, to which crimes
has been added murder.
I'VE desire to further represent to
your Excellency the fact that the
state government is totally incapable
of handling the situation. which be-
comes graver every day. The grand
jury refuse to find indictments and
the courts are unable to punish those
guilty of crimes already committed,

THE BOMB THRoWER.

old and a native of Bialistok,
Russia.
He is a tailor and made wom-
ems cloaks.
He lived with an uncle at Will
liamsburg, N. Y, but they part
ed, owing to Silverstein's radical
ideas.
The police found letters indi-
eating that the bomb-thrower had
been in anarchistic conspiracies.

large orange and was made of
lead pipe, encased in a brass
jacket and filled with bits of iron,
nails and nitro-glycerine.

New York Especially A red flag
auttered in Union Square; bomb
fell; two men lay dying in the Peo-
pies Playground, and New York
awoke to the fact that it harbored
those prepared to give their lives in
armed resistance to constituted au-
thority.
The bomb was intended for the
police who, with rough firmness, had
broken up a meeting of 10000 un-
employed. 1t exploded prematurely
in the hands of the assassin, horribly
wounding him, killing his compan-
ion, injuring slightly four policemen
and throwing to the ground a score
of those who were massed in the vi
cinity.
Saturday night Union Square Park,
where the public demonstration had
been made, is roped off from pedes-
trians; hundred police patrol the
boundary streets, and at the station
house 1900 reserves, armed with re-
volvers and night sticks, await in
readiness to throw themselves into
any scene of rioting. No further dis
order has developed.
