ONE KIND OF "DYNAMITE,"
But Capt. Megrew Declares It Is En-
tirely Harmless.

Capt. ]. p. Megrew of the police force
Of the Capitol. in referring to stories that
appeared in local papers this morning
alleging that suit case containing
dynamite" had been found last night
in the shrubbery OF the Capitol grounds.
laughed little and said:
1T is true that pedestrian who was
strolling through the grounds last night
in the vicinity OF the Library of Con-
called it to the attention Of two officers.
r. c. Smith and NJ ]. Jones Of the Capt.
toll force. and that these two officers took
1t to the guard room. But here the
stories begin to go wrong"
Capt Megrew had the contents Of the
satchel spread out In his Office this morn
ing There were several frayed garments
or q very small man. and there was an
old powder can, which contained the
"dynamite.'
AS matter of fact the dynamite
consisted of about a teaspoonful Of resin
in a two-inch wooden vial. There were
also several steel drills. a bottle-opener
a piece of iron about six inches long, an
other odds and ends of no particular
significance.
Instead of being on the lookout for an
anarchist who may have had an idea OF
blowing up the Capitol. Capt. Megrew
is looking for some poor boy or man who
may have been engaged In the umbrella
business or some other harmless pursuit
so that the satchel and its contents may
be returned.
The only thing that Is puzzling the
captain is why this satchel was left under
the bushes. He wonders whether some
fellow did not put 1t there for safe
keeping. expecting to return for it later
