Dynamite Plot Frustrated.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-What is believed
to be an attempt to blow up the
residence of Mrs. Potter Palmer with
a bomb was frustrated by the police
last night, but not made public until
today.
Fred Wahlenmeyer, 26 years old, a
German, was arrested on the porch OF
the Palmer residence, where he had
crawled on his hands and knees from
the gate at the entrance. Near him IN
the grass was found gas pipe bomb,
filled with smokeless powder and fuse
attached. The police say Wahlenmeyer
admitted making the bomb, but would
give nothing tangible regarding his
intentions.
The story told by Wahlenmeyer, APP
parently marks him as insane. 1t is
full of contradictions, but the police
are not sure but that he has purposely
told such a story in an effort to estab-
lish insanity.
Wablenmeyer, after crawling to the
door OF the house, rang the bell. When
the butler answered, Wahlenmeyer said
he was i'll. The butler slammed the door
and called the police. When the police
arrived they found Wahlenmeyer still
in the yard. He had large butcher
knife in his hands, but was oyerpowered
before he could use it. AT the police
station he told rambling story. He
said he was passing the residence, when
he saw man crawling toward the
house and jumped on his back. He
declared the man fought him and cut
his clothing with knife. He showed
cuts on his clothing and one slight
scratch, but later admitted that he had
lied regarding the fight, and that he
had cut the holes in his clothing to
lear out his story.
In the house at the time were Mrs.
Potter Palmer, JudgeLockwood Honore,
her brother, and Honore Palmer her
son. Special guards were thrown around
the house after the arrest and a search
made for other bombs.
Wahlinger finally confessesed that
he had gone to the house with the bomb
but would not say for what purpose.
He admitted making the bomb.
Wahlinger's sister, Emily called at
the station house today and said her
brother had been suffering for some
time from circular insanity, caused by
an injury received while fireman on
the Northwestern Railroad. He will
be taken to the detention hospital and
examined as to his sanity.

The West Point Cadets.

West Point, N. Y, Sept. S0.-In-
stead OF participating in the opening OF
the football season at West Point to-
morrow, the entire cadet body, includ-
ing the football squad, will continue to
be confined in barracks as result OF
"silencing" Captain Longan.
The court OF inquiry which has been
investigating the silence" has now
completed the examination Of the first
class men, but with such unsuccessful
results that it has been decided to call
the under-class men. This means that
the court will continue in session over
next week No concession in the re-
strictions under which the cadets are
being held in the meantime has
been made yet, except to restore the
evening dress parade, which, from the
cadets point Of view, is regarded as
additional punishment.

RiOting in Naples.

Naples, Sept. 30.-The cholera
situation in Naples reached the riot
stage today. Several hundred carbineers.
called into service to assist the health
authorities in disinfecting houses in
the affected districts and in isolating
cholera patients, were compelled to
fight the ignorant populace.
Almost without exception the
people resisted the efforts of the car
bineers and fought with knives, clubs
and stones. The authorities, however,
we're unyielding and, as a result Of
their rigorous methods, the various
cholera spots of the city are today in
more hopeful condition than at any
time since the disease reached the
epidemic stage.
The government has ordered every
house in the infected districts to be
thoroughly disinfected.
There have been twelve cholera
deaths in the city since Thursday noon,
according to official figures.

tor Robert NJ. LaFollette, OF Wiscon-
sin. is believed to be in a critical condi-
ton. He arrived in Rochester late

MANUF ACTURERS
FEW IN SENATE
West Virginia Has the Honor to Claim
One Of the Two In That
August Body.

| Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 8.-Vith A
senatorial campaign on in West Yir-
ginia the statisticians will soon be
| busy digging up whatever is to be
found concerning the various candi-
dates. A glance at the roster OF
T, the senate Of the United States
shows that fifty members Of that aug
ust body classify themselves ais law
yers, though there are in reality fifty
five of>that profession, some OF them
having held various o4Ices and now
call themselves public officials.
Though only one man in 500 is a law
yer more than half of the members Of
the senate are lawyers, indicating that
an idea, perhaps erroneous. is pre-
valent that lawyers are more in place
there. Yet some of the leaders of
that body are of other professions,
among them some of the New Eng
land chiefs.
On the other hand, while one man
in four is either a farmer or manu-
facturer, there are only three farmers
and two manufacturers in the senate.
The farmers are Smith and Tillman.
of South Carolina, and Bankhead, OF
Alabama. West Virginia has the
honor to claim one of the two manu-
facturers in the senate, representing
that class who have billions Of dol
lars invested in the country, giving
employment to millions of people.
Senator Scott is manufacturer, as is
Senator Briggs, of New Jersey.
A little thought en- the question
leads to wonder that the manufacture
ing class is not better represented in
the law-naking body. They hold a
place of high rank among the capital
lists of the country and would seem
to be entitled to more representation
In fact in the future it is rather likely
that more manufacturers will be
found in the senate.

GOVERNMENT TO
DESTROY THE MOTH
AS the Result Of Visit Of Director
Stewart and Others to Secretary
Wilson.

Washington, d. c., Feb. S.-The
Secretary of Agriculture Farmer
James Wilson, has promised the in.
nuence of his Office to West Virginians
who are behind movement to ac-
conplish the destruction Of the brown
tail moth, whose ravages have nearly
destroyed many orchards and whose
introduction into the vast orchards of
West Virginia is feared unless it is
prevented by action requiring legisla-
ton.
The measures recommended BIZ
Secretary Wilson will be incorporated
in bill which Representative Stur-
giss OF the Second West Virginia dis
trict will introduce within a few DAYS
and which will have the hearty sup
port Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture. The bill will authorize the De-
partment of Agriculture to inspect
nursey stock and destroy infected
stock, containing either the brown
tail moth or any other insect injur-
ious to fruit trees.
The matter was brought to the at
tenion of he Department of Agricu,
ture on Saturday by delegation Of
West Virginians representing the
West Virginia Agricultural Expert
>ment Station, the State Board of Ag-
riculture and the Berkeley County
horticultural Society. In the party.
were Director J. H. Stewart and En-
tomologist w. e. Rumsey, of the Ex-
pertinent Station; Alex Clohan and
G. w. Thatcher, of Martinsburg; d. G.
Miller, of Inwood: and G.. P. Miller. of
Romney. The Millers are among the
largest orchard owners in the state
and have been instrumental in add
ing thousands of acres of orchards to
those of the state
The brown tail moth, which they
are preparing to fight, is said to have
been imported from France with nur-
sery stock from there and to be very
destructive to orchards. 1t has not
appeared in West Virginia yet but has
reached Maryland and it is to prevent
its reaching West Virginia that this
delegation was here. The entire mat
ter was gone over with the Secretary
OF Agriculture and it was at his sug-
gestion that the contemplated legisla-
ton will be asked for and supported
by his department
