ITALIANS TRY To
DYNAMITE POLICE
PatroIman Finds Lighted Bomb
on Porch of New York
District Station
[Associated Press1

NEW YORK, July 27.-The New
York police are searching diligently
today for a band of Italians who are
credited with having made an attempt
last night to blow up the Mercer street
police station. Four heavy cartridges
or bombs contained enough powder to
blow up the station and kill the sixty
men who were within at the time. The
cartridges were discovered before they
could do any damage, one on the step
in front of the door and the others
in an adjacent hallway, Three men
are under arrest under supicion but
they deny knowledge of the affair.
The attempt at wholesale revenge on
the police for recent activities against
black handlers, was frustrated by the
prompt action of Patrolman John
Baumbach He was entering the sta
ton from his post when he discovered
a metallic contrivance lying on the
front step, with a twelve-inch fuse
sticking out of the top OF it. He
pulled the fuse out of the bomb and
threw it into a bucket of water The
reserves who were called out arrested
three men lettering nearby. A search
of the hallway where they had been
concealed revealed three more of the
bomb like contrivances but the fuses
had not been lighted. An examination
of the bombs shows that they had con-
tained two ablespOonfuls of powder
each. According to experts of the bu-
reau of combustibles they were crudely
made.

N|CARAGUAN BOARD To
ASK ADVICE Of j. s.
Central American Republics Rep
resentattives to Request
Peace Suggestions 4

NEW YORK, July 27.-With instruc-
tions to ask the United States govern
ment for suggestions as to the best
methods of restoring peace in their
country, DIR. Modesto Barrios and Dr.
Sebastina Salinas, of Nicaragua are in
New York en- route to Washington
They are commission appointed by
President Madriz and as part OF
their work, they aim to restore friendly
relations between the two countries
The commissioners will do some pre-
liminary work in Washington before
trying to see President Taft.
Both are vehement in denunciation OF
stories circulated in this country to the
effect that Americans are being treated
harshly in their country, and that
Americans who are prisoners of wal
have been subjected to indignities.
They also deny that Zelaya, although
far from his native land, really is the
head of the Nicaraguan government
with Dr. Madriz and others carrying
out his orders. They declare that Ma
driz is not friendly to Zelaya and
will take no orders from him as to
the manner of conducting the govern
ment.
General Zelaya," said DIR. Barrios,
sis no favorite with the people of
the country and has no standing with
the government"
Regarding anti-American sentiment
in Nicaragua, DR.. Barrios said there
was none, but the revolutionists. he
thought, had tried to stir up demon
strations of this kind with the idea of
getting the Madriz government in bad
favor with the government of the
United States.

RESCUE CARS FOR MINES
Outfits to Be Rushed to Scene of
Accidents

WASHINGTON, July 27-To be
ready for immediate call for assistance
at mine disasters, two portable rescue
stations fitted up on specially con-
structed railroad cars have been or
dered by the federal bureau of mines
for use in the west.
The first of the new cars to be built
will be assigned to Billings, Mont, as
its general headquarters, and will
answer emergency calls anywhere in
Montana and northern Wyoming.
Headquarters for the second car have
not been assigned as yet but it's field
of operation will be the coal fields
of western Colorado and eastern Utah.
These cars will be fully equipped
with all modern mine rescue appara-
tus, including oxygen helmets, which
permit men TO enter mines filled with
poisonous gases, a supply of oxygen in
tanks, safety lamps, "A field telephone
outfit with 200 feet Of wire, automatic
resuscitating outfits and first aid to
the injured paraphernalia.
There will also be sleeping quarters
on the cars for the mine experts, each
crew to be in charge Of a foreman in
the employ Of the bureau of mines.
In addition to the location of branch
rescue stations several days ago at
Birmingham, Ala, Huntington w.
Va, and Wilkesbarre, Pa. the bureau
has decided TO establish stations at
Trinidad, Cole and at Rock Springs

Of COMING FIGHT
Colonel Feels He Might Be Ac-

Party Dictatorship
STANDS BY KNOWN POLICIES
Former President Is NonCommit-
tai as to Supporting Pro-
greSSive Republicans
STANDS BY KNOWN POLICIES
PressN

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 27.-Those
who heard Theodore Roosevelt talk at
Sycamore Hill this afternoon came
away with a sharply etched shadow
picture of what his attitude will be in
state and national politics. Primarily,
he wishes to keep in the background
in the approaching campaign, for he
feels that by taking too prominent a
part in it he may be accused of as
suming a dictatorship.
Broadly speaking, he will, as he has
said ON several occasions, do all in his
power to help the men who stood by
him and his policies, but was noncom-
initial as to whether he expects to
carry this to the point of coming out
openly in favor of the Republicans all
over the country whom he considers
to be standing for his ideas. He does
say. however that h. nust forget fac
tional differences and even party lines
and support the men and the things
he believes stand for the best interests
of the country as a whole. The Re-
publican situation in this state is shift
ing so rapidly, the colonel said, he was
having trouble keeping pace with it. In
todays interview there were mentioned
to him the names of Representative
Hamilton Fish and William H. HOtch-
kiss, state superintendent of insurance
as having been spoken of recently in
connection with the gubernatorial
nomination. He replied by naming
over the whole list of men who have
been mentioned, adding that he had no
idea whatever as to who the best man
would be.
Col. Roosevelt said he had not been
reading up on Nebraska politics lately
and had not heard how William j. Bry-
an had Jared in the Democratic conven-
ton in that state.
The interviewers broke the news of
the setback to the Nebraskan, and the
colonel asked whether the difference of
opinion had arisen because Mr.. Bryan
went too far or not far enough in his
proposed temperance legislation. Af-
ter he was told that the former seemed
to fit the. case, there was nothing which
he cared to add in comment on Mr..
Bryan. A letter caused great amuse-
ment to Mr. Roosevelt today. When
Mr. Roosevelt was in New York last
Friday he told interviewers after a
conference with several politicians he
had had an interesting discussion on
literature. The newspapers printed his
little joke, which brought forth the let
ter received today. The writer accused
the former president of trying to make
people believe he had been discussing
literature instead of politics. and wound
up by saying:
i''Naybe you can fool the feeble-mind-
ed reporters, but you can't fool the
public like that. 1 knew all the time"

CASHIER AND MISSING
BONDS FAIL To RETURN
GentIeman's Agreement Proves
VaIueIeSS to Russo
Chinese Bank

NEW YORK, July 2.-The gentle
mans agreement" between the Russo
Chinese bank and its missing cashier
Erwin Wider who is accused of embez-
zling 100000 worth of stocks and
bonds, expired today, when the district
attorneys office was requested to take
action and a private detective agency
was put on the case.
The bank is now pretty we'll con-
vinced that all the huge sum stolen
has passed beyond recovery, A story
that Wider had a power of attorney
from the bank finds full credence in
Wall street, and it was also asserted
today that many of the certificates he
disposed of were still in blank when
they vanished.
If this can be proved it will make
the task of recovery from brokers ad-
ditionally difficult. Thus far there is
nothing to indicate that any OF the
certificates were filed in with forged
signatures. No suits against broker
age houses have been begun.

TELLS STORY OF GRAFT
ON ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Witness Says R. R. Did Work for
Which 1t Paid Huge Sum

CHICAGO, July 27.-Harold A. Sims
told a striking story of wholesale graft
before Master in Chancery Roswell b.
Mason here today in connection with
the investigation being made into the
alleged S15O0,0O0 car repair frauds in
the Illinois Central railroad.
Sims, former car inspector for the
railroad, and later in the employ Of
one of the five car repair companies
charged with fraud, declared that the
Illinois Central was made to furnish
not only materials, but also labor for
repairs and then was charged from one
to three prices for the work through
an elaborate system of padded bills.
Sims said that the greater part Of the
wood work supposed to have been done
in the Independent shops and for which
the railroad company paid a round
figure, was really done at the Illinois
shops at Memphis. He said the COM
pany was practically paying handsome
ly for doing work for itself. The wit
ness also testified that Illinois Central
cars were dismantled to procure ma
terial to he used in the plant of the
Memphis Car company.

US. ATTY. CEN. DECIDES
MAINE FUND AVAILABLE
Asserts Congressional Appropria-
ton to Raise BattIeShip Pro-
videS Preliminary Survey

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Attorney
General Wickersham has decided that
the 100000 appropriation made by the
last congress to raise the battleship
Maine was available for any work that
may be necessary in that connection.
There was a question as to whether
any of the money could be used for
preliminary work as a survey. Mr.
Wickersham decided it was the intent
of congress that the money be used for
all purposes connected with raising the
ship even to the burial of the dead in
Arlington National cemetery.
This decision removes the snag which
threatened to stall the work on the
next session Of congress. Brig. Gen.
Bixby, chief of engineers, will recon-
mend a survey board of engineers to
Gen. Oliver, acting secretary of war,
some time this week.
This board will make a preliminary
survey of the work and decide on the
best means to raise it, The various
proposals from private persons and
civilian engineers will then be consid-
cred.
