Dynamite Can Traced.

Reading a description of the mys-
FERROUS letters on the can containing
nitroglycerine, picked up in the
Peoria railroad yards, M. j. Merchant,
agent for the Independent Torpedo
Company, at Portland, Ind, 200 miles
from Peoria, went to Peoria and iden.
tilted the can as one that had come
from his factory.
This furnished Burns with his first
definite clew on which to work. He.
next learned that in August a man,
giving the name of J. w. McGraw,
had obtained from Morehart, at Port
land, his wholesale prices on nitro.
glycerine, arranged for the purchase
of 100 quarts to be used in a quarry
belonging to G. w. Clark and which
was too hard for dynamite" Nine
days later, McGraw telepnoned to
Merchant from Muncie, Ind, and or
dered 100 quarts of the explosive for
delivery on the highway outside Of
Albany, Ind. McGraw met Morenart
and accepted the ten ten-quart tins of
nitroglycerine, for which he paid the
agreed purchase price of $3.50 At
the time McGraw told Morehart that
it was his intention to drive the light
express wagon into which the explo-
sive was loaded.
Burns then sent his operatives 20
Indianapolis to seek trace of G. w.
Clark, for whom McGraw had repre-
scented to Merchant the purchase OF
nitroglycerine was made. But Clark
was not to be found. However, trace
was found of two men, one of whom
answered the description of McGraw.
These men had been heard to talk ia
military of John J. Mcnamara.
Mcnamara Is Swallowed.
1t was then the detectives turned
their attention to Mcnamara, who, be-
fore the Peoria explosion, in company
with H. S. Hocllin, a member Of the
executive committee of the IGterna
tional Association of Bridge and
Structural Ironw rkers, had called on
a railroad official in Peoria and made
the threat that unless certain work
being done was unionized trouble
would result. A number of operatives
of the Burns agency were Immediately
assigned to shadow John J. McNa-
mara.
The next link in the chain being
forged against the McNamaras came
when, following the explosion at Los
Angeles, an uneXploded clockwork
bomb, an exact duplicate of the one
found at Peoria, was found beside the
house of the secretary Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
in Los Angeles. This association had
been assisting in the fight for an open
shop" being waged between the EN-
ployers and the ironworkers in that
city The dynamite in the bomb was a
high explosive-SO per cent-gelatin.
This grade of dynamite is little used
and generally is made to order.

At the time of the Los Angeles ex'

did was to telegraph his operative, De

BURNS WAS TRAILING DYNAMITERS
BEFORE Los ANGELES OUTRAGE

Investigation by William j. Burns,
the sleuth, which resulted in the ar
rest of John J. and James b. Nc
Namara and Ortie McManigal for
dynamiting the Los Angeles Times
building the morning of October I :,
1910 was actually begun nearly one
month before the Los Angeles out
rage. Three mysterious explosions
took place in Peoria, ILL.,, Sunday
night, September d. 1910. Although
no lives were lost, a foundry belong
ing to Lucas & Sons was wrecked, a
hosting crane in the adjoining yard
was damaged, and bridge Orders in
the yards of the Peoria & Pekin
Union railway yards in East Peoria,
four miles away, were blown up, evil
IDENTIFY by notroglycerine. Singularly
the three explosions happened at the
same minute. The following day
Burns was notified and employed to
make an investigation. He immedi-
ately sent an operative from his Chi
cago office to the scene of the Peoria
dynamitings.
Explosions Began in 1905.
The explosions at Peoria followed
numerous other similar dynamitings
which dated from August, 1905, when
the International Association or Struc-
tural Iron Workers called a National
strike against the American Bridge
Company because sub-contractor
was employing non-union help. In
the following May the large struc-
tural iron companies of the country
organized the National Erectors' Asso-
citation and declared for the open
shop" a fight which extended all over
the country. In 1896 several explo-
sions took place on work some OF the
open shop" firms were doing, result
ing in the killing of one policeman
and two employees.
In the following year the troubles
apparently were transferred to Ohio,
where number of mysterious eXplo-
sions, resulting in damage to prop
erty and loss of several lives followed.
in one Of these cases the Cleveland,
Ohio, local was suspected, Dynamit-
tings continued to increase in the diff
ferent states in 1908, 1909 and 1910
until the Peoria explosion, when the
services of Burns were engaged
sawdust Is Clew.
Following the explosion In the rail
road yards in East Peoria, Septem-
Der 4, 1870 workman picked up an
unexploded clockwork bomb. At the
time a wooden box in which the
glycerine can had been packed in
sawdust was picked up in a field adj
joining the railroad yards A handful
of the sawdust was preserved and it
proved material for purposes of iden-
tifcation later. Stamped on the in
side of the can were several letters,
but neither this nor the wooden box
in which the bomb had been PACKED
proved valuable in the efforts of the
sleuth and his assistants to implicate
any citizen of Peoria in the dynamit-
ing.
About the same time important
facts were ascertained concerning
nitroglycerine, principal of which
we're that it could not be transported
by the railroads and must have been
brought into Peoria by private con
veyance, direct from the factory, and
secondly, there was no standard can
for supplying glycerine to the trade,
each manufacturer making his own
cans.

tunate developments that has ever
taken place as far as the shipping in
terests are concerned. Under the old
conditions 1000 or 1900 Chinese pas
sengers were the easiest order in
the world for the captain and officers
of the ordinary well-managed ship to
handle. The great, docile crowd of
Asiatics went quietly to the quarters
prepared for them i'm the tween decks,
or wherever else they might be, took
their food and curled up placidly in
long rows for a soothing Whit of the
pipe. They gave n trouble to any
body, obeyed orders with cheerfulness
and alacrity, and as long as watch
man or two kept them under unob-
trusive observation, neither captains
nor officers were often troubled with
anxiety on the Chinese passengers
account.
Now, however, the experience of
those in charge of southern ships is
something very different and much
less pleasant. The pipe is no longer
available, but the bottle of cheap
brandy is at the disposal of whoever
is able and willing to pay 80 or 40
cents for it, and it is resorted to with
a celebrity and freedom which are the
despair Of every ship master and Of
ficer engaged in the trade today.
