SHOWS LOSS IN U. S. TRADE.
Marked Decrease in Imports of Man
ufactured Goods in May.

The May trade statement of the Blu
reau of Statistics in Washington, as
compared with that of the same month
last year, shows a marked increase
in the Importation of manufacturing
material and decline in the exporta.
ton list of foodstuffs. Fifty articles
are named in the import list, and
these, it is stated, form about two
thirds of the total value of the imports,
while a similar number of articles in
the export list form about three
fourths of the total value of the ex-
ports.
cit will be observed, says the bureau,
that in nearly all articles for use in
manufacturing, including raw silk,
hides and skins, India rubber, wool,
copper, lumber and chemicals, the
imports of the month and of the accu-
mulated months of the year are in ex-
cess of those of the corresponding
period of last year. In many of the
important manufactures the figures of
the present year exceed those of last
year, but in foodstuffs the exports of
1909 are, in most cases, less in value
than those of 1905"

BOMB EXPLOSION IN CHICAGO.
Seven Persons Are Injured and DAM
age Aggregating S15o,COO Done.

With an explosion which wrecked
the rear OF the Chicago Title and
Trust Building. 100 Washington street,
and damaged every structure in the
block bounded Ay Washington, Clark,
Madison and Der rborn streets, and the
Boston store. the series of gambling
bomb outrages Ia Chicago Sunday
night reached its climax. Seven per-
sons were injured and a loss of $780,
600 was caused. In the slries it was
bomb 81. In destruetiveness it ex-
ceeded the loss of all the other out
RACES combined. The explosion, which
occurred at 11:20 p. M, resounded
like thunderclap and was heard all
over the downtown district. The near
by streets were filed with pedestri-
ans, who were showered with the
glass which came pouring down from
windows for blocks around. Many were
hurled to the ground by the force of
the blast.
The dynamite, which the police Off
Gals are convinced was the explosive
used evidently was placed in the al
ley at Ill Madison street. The room
used by Mont Tennes, king of gam
blers," as the base of operation from
which all his syndicate business was
conducted and as his clearing house,
was on the second floor just above the
place where the fuse hau been set off.
At the opposite side of the alley is the
Title and Trust Building, which
houses the Central and Randolph ex-
changes of the Chicago Telephone
Company. The full force of the blast
struck the manhole of the main cable
vaults leading to the exchanges, and
twelve of the cables. each containing
hundreds of subscribers wires, were
snapped apart like thread. Thousands
of telephones in the loop district were
put out of service.
The wreck and ruin wrought by the
explosion were terrific. Heavy steel
gates at the rear of the Title and
Trust Building were twisted as il
made of straw. A heavy sheet iron
ventilator pipe five feet in diameter,
leading from the kitchen of Thomp-
sons restaurant, was crushed like an
eggshell. Many large plate glass win
dows on the west side of the Boston
store facing in Dearborn street were
blown out, while within straw hats
on their frames were undisturbed. AS
sistant Chief Schuettler laid the out
rage to labor troubles.

P1TTsBURG CAR STRIKE ENDS.
Mayor Brings Men and Officials
Together in His once.


The street railway strike, which
cost the city of Pittsburg over $780,
geo in two days, was officially declared
TO be at an end at 1890 o'clock Mon
day night. In the private Offices of
Mayor Magee articles were signed by
officials of the Pittsburg Railways
Company and an executive committee
from the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
which will for years to come prevent
another tie up of the 400 miles of
street railway tracks in and about
greater Pittsburg and Allegheny
County.
The strike, it developed, was the
outcome of only two points of differ
ence between the car company and the
motormen and conductors, one being
alleged neglect upon the part of the car
company to shorten Swing runs" and
the other the refusal of the railway
officials to reinstate discharged men
without proper hearing.
All during the day Mayor Magee
made vain efforts to bring the two
factions of the traffic tangle together.
Finally conference was arranged and
held in the Mayors Office. When the
warning factions assembled the Mayor
suggested that the temper of the peo-
pie seemed to indicate they would
neither tolerate rioting nor pro-
longed traffic disturbances. Then,
with slight notifications, an agree
ment allowing discharged men proper
hearing and giving the assur-
ance of the car company that the sec
rotary would shorten Swing runs"
was drawn up and signed. The union
executive committee instructed the
pickets at the car barns to call the
men for duty, beginning at a. m.

also notably reduced in numbers, and
in liabilities the amount is SO per

All the comparisons with the great
business year of 1906 exhibit more
substantial gains except discounts at
the banks, which appreciated 1872 per

also includes recovery in values of va
rious commodities and remarkably
high quotations in breadstuffs, live

LONE BANDIT GETS BANK CASH.
Daylight Raid in Fort Worth Nets
$500 Plumber,

A lone highwayman, well dressed
and appearing like a man of affairs,
robbed the Waggoner Bank and Trust
Company in Fort Worth, Tex, of S.
100 in currency Tuesday afternoon.
The bank is in the central part of
Fort Worth's business district. The
robber escaped.
The robbery was the most daring in
Texas in some years. Cashier Walter
E. King was alone in the bank bal
ancing the business of the day, when
a well-dressed stranger walked in. AS
the man approached the window of the
cashiers desk King looked into the
muzzle of revolver. Next came the
demand for the money in sight. Make
a move or noise of any kind and I'll
kill you," was the greeting King re-
members.
The cashier handed over the money,
and, stuffing the roll of bills into his
pocket, the man backed out of the door
under cover of his pistol. AS King
ran to a telephone he saw the robber
walking down the street and mingling
with the crowds with an air of uncon-
Germ. The police reached the scene
five minutes later, but the stranger
had disappeared

MRS. GOULD WINS HER CASE.
Granted Divorce and $4,000 Year
Alimony,


Mrs. Howard Gould won sweeping
victory in her separation suit against
her millionaire husband in New York
when Justice Victor ]. Bowling from
the bench granted her a legal separa-
ton and alimony at the rate of $4,000
year, practically 500 day. In
voicing his decision Justice Bowling
gave Mrs. Gould a clean bill so far as
intoxication is concerned. He said
that no proof of excessive drinking
had been introduced by Howard
Gould's lawyers.
The court intimated that Mrs. Gould
under all the circumstances had been
indiscreet in her meetings with Dus-
tin Farnum, the actor, even though
there were business relations behind
them.
The decision of the court was that
Howard Goulds abandonment so far
as concerned the proof offered, was
not only without justification in any
degree, but without provocation. The
only question which puzzled the JUS
tice was the amount of the alimony.
He declared that the case was with.
out precedent so far as he knew, the
husbands admitted income being in
excess of S750,000 a year.
The fact that Mrs. Gould had ac-
quired $4,000 worth of jewelry at her
husbands expense since the actual
separation was taken into considera-
ton by Justice Bowling. He told How
ard Gould that if his wife returned to
the stage, an event that he did not
think likely, Gould could reopen the
case with an application to have the
alimony decreased.

Trapped just as the eliminating
point in scheme to extort $4,000 by
BLACK Hand" methods in Chicago, Ru-
dolph Berendt, only IA years old, fled
in an effort to escape the detectives
who were on watch for him and was
land low by bullet from the revolver
of Detective Philip Heinreich of the
Sheffield avenue station. He died at
the hospital an hour after he had been
shot and after making full confes-
sion, in which he implicated his cous-
in, Alfred Haase, a year older than

boyish plot took place at Grand avenue
and Desplaines street shortly after s
o'clock Wednesday night, just after Ru-
dolph had received from s. E. Gross
field, wholesale grocer at 185 West Ran

to contain the $4,000 which had been
demanded of him.

for the money on June IA in letter

would be murdered. He was also warn
ed that he would be tortured and
killed If he notified the police. The
letter was followed by several tele-
phone calls. the last two of them We'd
nesday, when Grossfeld was told to
bring the money that night and that
failure to do so would mean death to-.
him.
The police were informed and it
was arranged that Grossfeld was to be
at the appointed place with two dunn
N.Y. packages, apparently ready to
turn over the money. Several detect
ives were detailed to be in the vicin-
ity. Unconscious of the ruse, young
Berendt walked up to Grossfeld placed
a revolver against his side and told
him to hurry and hand over the money.
Accepting the two packages, he turned
and ran in the direction of Austin av-
enue, paying no heed to the shouts of
the officers to halt The second shot
inflicted the wound from which he
died
