DYNAMITE

HUGE QUANTITY OF EXPLo-
DISAPPEARS IN PHILADEL-
PHIA, AND TROUBLE is
FEARED.
{By United Press Leased Wire. }

{By United Press Leased Wire.)
PHILADELPHIA, March s.
Director of Public Safety Henry
Clay today requisitioned every po-
lice officer and detective that can
be spared from patrol duty to
search for a carload of dynamite
that disappeared mysteriously
from the yards of Pennsylvania
railroad in West Philadelphia.
The car containing the dyna-
mite arrived here early yesterday.
1t was shunted into the West
Philadelphia yards, where it was
thought 1t would not be discov-
cred by the strike sympathizers.
Last evening the yard officials
telephoned to Clay the startling
news that the dynamite had dis
/ appeared. Immediately two scores
of officials and police detectives
were detailed on the case.
With the knowledge that hun
dreds of sticks of explosive may
be in the hands of the strikers,
the authorities are confronted to-
day with the actual situation they
have feared since the strike be-
gan.

MRS. CUDAHY
To LEAVE
HUSBAND
KANSAS CITY SCANDAL TO BE
HUSHED UP INJU r. ED
BANKER WILL NOT PROSE-
CUTE HIS ASSAILANT-WlFE
TO RETURN TO PARENTS.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 8.
.Jere F. Lillis will wear deep
scars from the knife of John p.
Cudahy all his life; Mrs. John P.
Cudahy probably will return to
the home of her parents in Oma-
ha; an action at law for separa-
tion and a legal struggle for pos
session of the Cudahy children are
expected today to be the only
publicly apparent results of the
sensational fight at the Cudahy
home Sunday morning.
1t is definitely known that Cud-
ahy will not be prosecuted for his
attack upon Lilfis, unless Lillis
should die of hrs wounds, which
is not considered probable. On all
sides the effects to "hush up
the affair are very apparent.
Cudahy is willing to let the
whole affair drop out of public no.
tice as quickly as it will. Lillis,
it appears, is more than willing.
General John c. Cowan, father of
Mrs. Cudahy, said today that
while he believed his daughter had
been grossly wronged by her hus-
band, that for the sake of the
children he considered it best TO
say as little as possible.
1t was thought that Lillis could
be removed to his home from st.
Mary's hospital today, but the
doctors decided that this will be
unwise.
After remaining in the hospital
until tomorrow, it is believed that
he will be able to stand the move.
The wounds on his face and about
his mouth make it very difficult
for him to speak, but he has in
formed his counsel that he does
not desire to push the case
against Cudahy.

Cowan that his daughter willnot
sue for divorce, but that she will

Local Stock Holder
Asks For Receiver
ALLEGES THAT COOPS AND HIS RELATIVES VOTED THEM
SELVES BIG SALARIES AND OPERATED FACTORY
WHEN PROSPECTIVE STOCK SHOWED UP
WANTS ROCKS

Alleging frenzied finance on the
part of the Coops family in the
organization and business of the
Coops Piano Manufacturing COM
pany, o. p. Anderson, a stockhold-
er, through Attorneys Stallcup &
Keys, today filed suit in the su-
perior court to force showing
of the books of the company and
requesting the appointment of a
receiver and payment of back
wages amounting to $50.
o. P. Anderson says he mort
gagged property in the East and in
vested $4,000 in stock of the COM
pany about eleven months ago,
and has since been employed at
the factory at Steilacoom lake.
Anderson's home is in Parkland
The coops Piano Manufacturing
company was organized July 13,
1908, with a capital stock of
100000. AT the time Rev. Her
bert Judson White received two
shares of stock for his influence,
DR.. F. r. Hill is said to have
bought two shares at par, $50
each, and Albert Tozier took one
share. Frederick Meyer sub
scribed $4,000 and the land on
which the factory now stands was
secured from him. An old barn
was rebuilt into the present fac
tory, according to the complaint
Keep Salaries In the Family.
Shortly after the company was
organized, Charles w. Coops, pro-
moter of the company, forced the
retirement of Rev. White, DR.. f.
r. Hill, Frederick Meyer and AL
bert Tozier, and had himself elect
ed president and treasurer of the
company at a salary of $3.50 a
month. His brother, j. d. Coops,
was made vice president at a
handsome salary. The attorneys
state in the complaint they were
not able to ascertain the amount.
Charles w. Coops' daughter, Myr-
tie. was made secretary of the
company, with salary of $50
a month.
Immediately after this reor-
lganization of the company Chas.
Nv. Coops was voted $4,000
worth of the 100000 capital
stock by his relatives for his
good will and patronage. Since
then, it is claimed by Anderson,
Coops has sold much of this stock
and pocketed the proceeds. The
lattorneys have only been able to
trace the sale of $4,000 worth
of stock. but believe that more
has been disposed of. The proper
ty and factory of the company
has cost less than $4,000, ac-
cording to Anderson's complaint,
and the bushes of the company
has never been properly carried
lon.
"It amounts to this" said At
ltorney Keys, after filing the
complaint. Whenever Coops haf
a stock customer on the string he
ltelephoned out to the factory and
had the machinery started up. The

PHILADELPHIA, March s.
There is no gang rule SO strong
that it cannot be shaken off;
there is no greedy trust so power
full that it cannot be controlled
if the people are sufficiently
aroused and unite in action
against their oppressors.
There is at present no promise
offered by Philadelphia that she
will crush out her evil city gov
ernment and reclaim her streets
from the corrupt trusts that use
and abuse them for private gain.
But the general strike of the
union men of the city is a protest
that may yield results bigger and
better than appeared on the sur
face.
This walkout seems like the
most revolutionary action that the

In my opinion, conditions would
be far worse under the operation OF
prohibition law than under the licens-
ing system If the people do not want
saloons they wipe them out under
the present law.
While was Deputy Sheriff on
Kauai during period Of absolute pro-
hibtion there were more arrests for
drunkenness than there have been under
the operation Of the existing statute.
The Hawaiians would club together
and serd for key Of wine, and when
they started in to drink they would not
be content until they had finished the
supply. 1t would be the same now
under prohibition law.
The Importation Of liquor cannot
be stopped, and the enactment of
prohibition law would practically
amount to class legislation
Kauai is satisfied with the present
law, and believe the voters will sup
port it.
