LabOrers Plow Up Box
Filled with Pound
Sticks Of Explosives.
AN INCH MORE AND THEY
WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED
Letters in Strange Code Lead
Police to Suspect Black
Hand. =

What the police believe to be daring
BLACK Hand" plot, involving an at
tempt to dynamite, was revealed to-
day when two laborers, while plowing
for new street at 834 South Orange
avenue, Vailsburg section. unearthed a
box containing fifteen pound sticks OF
dynamite and two letters written in a
mysterious CODE
According to the police the men who
found the box had a miraculous es-
cape from death. Had their pillow
struck even so much as an inch lower,
it was said, the dynamite must have
exploded, and they would surely have
been blown to pieces.
John Thomas. of II Speedway ave-
nue.. Irvington. and John Lynch. of So
Oak avenue. oIrvington, are the men
who made the discovery.
The dynamite was found on what is
known as the Louis Borcher estate,
which is now being developed into a
building tract by the Bloenecke broth
ers. Up to within few weeks age
this land was occupied by Joseph and
Frank Pedone. who were arrested with
Salvatore Musumesce last March on
the suspicion of being implicated in
planting bomb under the residence
of Edward Annille. In Bedford street.
An anonymous communication wa.
received by Captain Carroll, of police
headquarters, on June 20, stating that
q quantity of dynamite had been con-
cealed on the land occupied by the
Pedones. The exact location of the
spot was not given, however. and,
although search was made. the box
remained undiscovered. IN this same
communication reference was made to
the assassination of Petrosino. the New
York detective, in Italy, and an italian
resident of this city was accused of
having participated in that crime Cap
tain Carroll is in possession of clues
that may result in unravelling the
mystery that surrounds the finding of
the dynamite.
The box was a tin affair, evidently
at one time used for bread The dyna-
mite sticks were turned over to Cap
tain C. Albert Gasser of the bureau of
combustibles. He said that the ex-
plosive was fresh and that the slightest
contact would have set it Off Captain
Gasser took the dynamite to the
meadows and destroyed it with quick
lime.
Only Clue in Letters.
The letters found in the box were
addressed to Guiseppi Cappello. There
was also torn piece of a New York
evening paper dated March Is. The
letters were written in what is known
as the "numeral cipher" and were
stamped May II and %. They were
sent through the general delivery at
Newark. On the back of one of them
was a map, on which were seven dots
and the word seven" probably cor
responding to the seventh tree, under
which the explosive was found.
The men called officers Burger and

satisfaction that at Nantucket where
they have their country place, mo-
toring has been practically abolished
by a speed limit of six miles an hour!
That night, my last at the Canyon,
after the thirty mile jaunt to Grand
view I walked over to Hopi point to
see the sunset once more. They say
it is a six mile drive, but I took some
short cuts through the pines, and it
didn't seem half that long. Anyway,
at the Canyon one has energy for any
thing and vitality plus. The air is like
wine, you eat ravenously, sleep the
dead sleep of utter exhaustion and
awaken completely restored and re-
freshed.

amethyst shadows, sky of rose and
gold, the flare of the sunset melting
into the sublime silence of the Can

plagiarizing from the Bromide Book!
What I started to tell was that when
I returned to the hotel, still feverish
with the dreams and fancfes of the
unreal world of beauty and mystery
in which one so readily loses oneself
at Sunset Point, reveling in luxurious
sensations of loneliness and melan-
choly and misunderstanding beatifi-
cally resigned to the fact that nobody
loved me and that there was nothing
to do but go into the garden and eat
worms-there, on the hotel veranda
was the party from Williamstown-or
was it Amherst waiting to say good
bye before they left on the evening

time in my life. (The first time is an

says: 81 realize that the wet forces
gained a great deal of ground dur
ing the past week and account for
it on the ground that they scared
the taxpayers and laborers vote by
the affirmations made to the effect
that injury would surely result to
the city and county if probition
were secured"
The Times has contended dur.
ing this campaign that saloons
were unnecessary and a menace tc
the community. Meridian people
have by their votes taken the same
position, and three to one have
declared for prohibition. With
such an expression it is hardly
probable that saloon will be
started here, SO the situation re-
mains practically as it was before
election.

EPHRAfM CLAIMS VICTORY.

In last Wednesdays Herald appeared an
account Of d game played between Nun
roe and Ephraim. which the MunrOe team
claimed TO have won. This is disputed i'm
an article sent The Herald and signed by
Umpire a. johnson Of ElsinOre and ScOr-
eTs Logan and Loring. The article says:
THE beet-eaters Of Sewer must be in
possession Of some peculiar dope, to carry
the idea that they won an eleven-inniug
game. when they were defeated. The Of
fetal details of the game are as follows;
Tn the eighth inning the score stood 8 TO
s. In the ninth no runs were scored on
either side. In the tenth one score was
added to each side making the score 9 to
2. In the eleventh Monroe was first To
the bat. and before they were retired they
had scored two runs. Ephraim came up
and started the fireworks, scoring two
runs, making the score even. and also had
a runner on second base. and no one out.
II was here the celebrated beet-eaters
baked as TO one of the runners scoring
for Ephraim. The umpire made his de-
cision in favor of Ephraim. and Monroe
again baked. They were given five min
utes III which to play bali. which they
failed to do, and the game was then and
there forfeited to the Ephraim team, 9
to o."
