BOMB EXPLODES IN
ALL night SECTION
Of new YORK CITY
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Apr. Some one explod.
ed a heavy bomb in front of base.
ment door at 131 West 45th street be-
tween Sixth avenue and Broadway,
in the very center of the all night dis
trict, set thick with chop houses, lob
ster places, and hotels. The terrific
report Jared the whole neighborhood
for fifteen bluocks around and the
force Of the explosion blew in the
basement doors nf the chop houses
and shattered all the windows. Up
Der stories were tenantless and the
ground floor, occupied by a furrier,
was vacant at the time, SO nobody was
hurt, but the bomb was heard so far
fro mthe east side it quickly drew
a crowd of thousands. Police have a
theory that the case is one of spite
work against the owner of the house
and not an ordinary "blackhand"
bomb throwing.

Chicago, April THE defeat o

in the United States for the contro

York state by commission, but the
check will be only temporary in Chi
cago. 1t may prove to have gainet
impetus. The city has begun solving
problems concerning it's telephones

ency of the public service, by non-par
; tisan and non-political commissions ol
! which the Merriam commission is con
spicuous. The results have been sue
; cessful.
Several bills that enlarge the scope
and powers of such commissions are
now pending in the Illinois legislature
largely as the outcome of Chicago S
experiments. These bills are not ex-
pected to pass at this session, but they
will pave the way for probable fav'

as their way was paved by the work
of the special efficiency commission

The commission method of resulat.

cause. Mr.. Merriam insists that he
has "just begun to fight" He will
continue his efforts in behalf of pro-

defeat in this election.
Some Of the progressive" see en-

en- an advanced position on the ques-
ton of public control and regulation.
President Theodore N. Vail of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company in his recent annual report
took up that problem. A few other
notables among corporation officials
are rapidly coming around to similar
view.
"Public control or regulation" said
Mr.. Vail, has come and come to stay.
Control or regulation exercised thru
such "a body has many advantages
over that exercised through regular
legislative bodies or committees. The
permanent commission will be quasi

THROWN OUT
WHEN HORSES RUN AWAY.

Fireman Timothy O'Connor,' of Hose
Company No. 2, of West Orange, had
a narrow escape from serious injury
this morning when he was thrown from
the exercising wagon after the horses
took fright and ran away. O'Connor
was driving dow Eagle Rock avenue
when the animals suddenly darted at
a terrific gallop down the street. Near
ing the Orange and Passaic VALLEY
car barns in Washington street, he
horses swung suddenly into the car
tracks and O'Connor was tossed into
the street. He landed head-frst, but
only received slight bruises on the
forehead.
The animals continued their mad
dash through the street n were not
stopped until they arrived in front of
Ashland frehouse in Main street. East
Orange. Fireman William Riester. sta
toned at headquarters, was sitting in
front Of the house when he saw the
animals tearing down the street

COMPLIMENT BLUECOAT
FOR STOPPING RUNAWAY.

Scores of girls on their way to din
ner from the plant of the General
Electric Company, Harrison, where
they are employed, witnessed an excit-
ing runaway in Harrison shortly after
noon today. They also saw Policeman
James McManus, of Harrison, distin-
guish himself by stopping the animal
after he had been dragged a short dis
lance.
1t was probably due to McManus's
good work that some of the young
women crossing the street were not
injured. The horse, owned by Morris
Prince, of Z North Third street, Har-
rison. broke away rom a tie-post near
Princes store and ran away. The ant
NAL tore up Harrison ven at break
neck speed. McManus, handling traffic
at Harrison avenue and Fourth street,
saw it coming and ran toward 1t. The
b~luecoat seized the bride and managed
to stop the frightened animal with
considerable difficulty. A number OF
young who had darted into
nearby stores complimented McManus
on his good works Prince took the
runaway home.

kEARAY MAN Gets
FINE OFFER FOR
STEEL INVENTION
James K. Smith to Sail for Eng
land, Where Device Will
Be Tried Out.

James K. Smith. of 352 Kearny e
nue., Kearny, who was to have sailed
for Europe today with a prominent
British steel manufacturer, in order TO
Introduce into England a valuable in
vention for which he got a patent last
week, has postponed his trip until next
Tuesday.
Fer fourteen years Mr.. Smith has
been a steel melter and his father be-
fore him followed the same III OF
work. For six years he has been busy
devising a process and a machine which
will cast steel billets without a hollow
core, which necessitated an expensive
and troublesome hammering and roll
ing of the ingots in order to rid them
of the empty space in their centres.
Nearly all the money he earned was
used in perfecting his invention. and
frequently he had setbacks that were
almost disheartening, yet he stuck res
olutely to his task. and finally had the
satisfaction of producing something
that bids faip to reyolutionize h steel
trade. In some way manufacturers in
various parts of the country learned
about the invention and Mr.. Smith was
the recipient or various offers.
One Pittsburg magnate offered him a
life job at a good salary if he would
give up his invention. another would
pay a small sum down and a moderate
royalty on the tonnage produced and
others had different terms; but he
s&9s that the only decent offer came
from the British steel king, with whom
he will go abroad next Tuesday, and
who has been six weeks in the coun-
try looking into the matter.
Mr.. Smith a y that he would much
prefer to dispose of his invention in
America. but 1t does not seem to be
appreciated here. In this respect he is
he says. like the Wright Brothers
pioneers in aviation, who got no en-
couragement in this country and who
went abroad and found European gov
ernments enthusiastic about their fly
ing machines and willing to pay hand
somely for their products.

WOMAN PREFERS
CAY LIFE To HOME,
LAWYER ASSERTS
Mrs. Edward E. DonahOe, of
East Orange, Attacked by
Husbands Attorney.

THAT Mrs. Edward Il. Donahoe, II
claims she was deserted by her hus-
band and as a result was dependent on
East Orange for support, cared more
for life I'm New York than in her Tor
mer suburban home, was the claim ao-
yanced by Frederick Lehlbaeh, counsel
for the husband, wAen he and Actlns
city Counsel Edward 0. Stanley, j.,
argued on briefs before Recorder Mott
today. He said there seemed to be a
tendency to give more alimony than
what was actually needed for support
IF 1t should be decided by the court
to award Mrs. Donahoe an amount,
stated Mr.. Lehlbach. 1.-THE facts should
be kept in mind, so as to award the
smallest sum possible to a wilful ana
s~elf-indulgent woman possessed of "a
violent, ungovernable temper, scorning
the restraint which a modest woman
puts on her speech and preferring the
gilded life Of the great metropolis to
the quiet life of her parents suburban
home.
''She has threatened to kill her hus-
band, and in view of the utter lack
of control of herself. Il is not unlikely
lnaI Sle might 90 II III IL III VI i"6S'
however much she may regret it later.
Four times she struck him, once with
a missile HI y enough to draw blood
and raise a lump on his head, and an
other time scratching him in such a
manner as to leave d mark still visi-
ble.''
The attorney claimed Mrs. Donahoe
had no legal settlement except in
Woodbridge, where she was born, and
claimed the complaint should be made
there, as East Orange could not legal
ly give her support. 1t was shown
that Mr.. Donahoe had a legal settle
ment in this state. After hearing the
argument Recorder Mott said a de-
cision would be given later.
