EXPLODE DYNAMITE
UNDER NEW BRIDGE
Valuable Steel Railroad Struc-
ture Is Shattered by Dar-
ing Miscreants

NEW YORK, MAY 2l-An attempt
was made early today to destroy a
new s750.Go0 steel bridge belonging to
the New York. New Haven and Hartford
railroad at Baychester, New York. At
least 30 pounds of dynamite was ex-
ptoded under one of the end posts of
the middle span, shattering the post
and section of one of the lower
chords.
The explosion was heard for three
miles around and few buildings es-
capped being shaken up. One person
was injured. A laborer was thrown
from his bed and cut by flying glass
The bridge was finished Wednesday
evening and turned over to the railroad
company.
The crime is attributed to certain
groups of labor organizations because
OF the adoption OF an open shop policy
by the important bridge building con-
Germs. Two months ago q new steel
bridge on the New Haven road cross
ing Pelham bay. and half a mile east
of the scene Of today's crime. was de-
stroyed on the eve of completion. A
week later II sticks of dynamite were
found under the island pier of the
Blackwells island bridge. Last April

that the go would be nothing more
than a warm Up for the Dane. Bat

Cans realizes that he is going up
against the toughest proposition Of
ms long career in the ring. He still
remembers those 42 stirring rounds
with Nelson in that Goldfield ring
nearly two years ago. Nobody knows
better than Cans himself that he viii
require all the vitality and steam that
he can collect within the next month
or so. From his every act il would
appear that Cans firmly believes that
the coming match with the Dane is
going 10 be a long one, and that il
viii be full Of fight all the time.
Already public interest seems to
have been started. All along the line
last night the big match was the main
topic of conversation. The Goldfield
battle was fought over many times
again by fans who witnessed il, and
the opinions of the experts were as
hghtweights stepped into the ring be-
fore From present indications the
fight is going TO be one Of the heaviest
betting affairs ever known here.
Now that the signing up of Cans
and Nelson has left him high and dry
without match to fill in his June per-
hotfoot in a frantic effort to bring Abe
Atten and "Packey" Mcfarland. to-
gether "Packey is willing TO come
out here, and practically name his own
terms. but when the matter was put to
Abe he baked and ran out.
Mcfarland insists that if he goes oS
with AtteH he must be permitted 10
weigh in at 1872 pounds at o'clock
When Berger tried to convince Attell
10 agree TO this thu little champion
made an awful roar He said that he
was q feather weight, and that he did
not propose to takF on welters. He is
ready 10 meet Mcfarland at 1873 ring
side but he says that there is no
chance TO get him into the ring with
the pride of the stockyards with that
l32 pounds at o'clock talk.
II Berger is willing TO stick Boer
Unholz in against Mcfarland he can
have him for the asking. The Boer
was right on the job when he learned
what was stirring. and expressed his
usual Willingness to fight. 1t may be
that Sam viii be compelled TO take
Unholz, for the grass is getting rather
short and Sam simply will have to
show q fash Of speed If he is going to
make good.
Unholz evidently does not intend
overlooking any bets. He got his last
$4,000 pretty easy, and he still believes
that there is more OF this soft coin
hanging around.
