BARBER SHOP WRECKED
BY "BLACK HAND" BOMB
Shaving Mugs Fly through Air, and
IT'S Occupants Of Building
Flee in Terror.

NEW YORK, February "a bomb
placed on the doorstep Of tenement
at 4O1 East SD street exploded at
/ o'clock this morning and shook the
five-story building to its foundations,
sending It's panic-stricken tenants flying,
half-clothed, to the street. A barber shop
on the ground floor received the brunt OF
the explosion and was completely
wrecked, fragments of barber chairs,
shaving mugs and plate glass being
picked up later at points more than a
block away.
Two Italians who occupied an apart
ment directly over the barber shop were
thrown from their bed and carried bodily
through a four-inch partition. Both
were seriously injured.
The explosion. according, the the police,
was evidently the work of some BLACK
Hand" group, although no one could be
found in the building who would admit
having received threatening letters. Two
policemen were standing on SD street
within sight of the wrecked build
ing when the explosion occurred. The
fact that they saw no one running from
the place indicates that the bomb was
equipped with time fuse. which prob
ably was lighted fifteen or twenty min
utes before the explosion.
The presence of the officers aVerted
what otherwise would have proved dis
astrous panic in the mad rush OF the
tenants from the building. The two
plunged into the thronged Railways and
compelled the frightened men and women
to make their way out in orderly fashion

When the plastering in several of the

The office forces in downtown buildings
suffered severely from cold. though many

One woman living in Greenwich street

TO FUND LIBERIAN DEBT.
France Assents to Negotiations,
Treaty Having Been Arranged.


LONDON, January % 1911
The Liberian minister in London, VINO
Is also diplomatic agent in France. has
been authorized by his government to
sign the treaty with France of 1907, as
interpreted by the mixed frontier COM
mission. The way, therefore, is now
clear for the advancement of the loan
negotiations, the French government hay
ing insisted on the signature of the boun-
Diary treaty before consenting to the
American project for placing the republic
upon a new financial basis. Mr.. Falkner,
head of the recent American commission
to Liberia and now special financial agent
in the United States and Europe for Ii
IBERIA, is paying visit to Monrovia with
the object of Fastening the passage of
the legislation necessary for sanctionins
the loan. No difficulty is expected in
this regard. since the republic is known
to be anxious to make the new start for
which an opportunity is now offered her
by the powers.
The American scheme contemplates a
loan of about s2,UOO,OOO for the conversion
of the funded and floating debt. The
foreign debt consists of two loans held
almost entirely in Great Britain.

One of the biggest problems before the
subcommittee will he the adjustment of
the bin to meet the action of the House
prohibiting the location OF a District re-
formatory within ten miles of Mount Yer
non. The vote in the House was SO
strong it is believed that no effort will
be made in the Senate committee to
change the effect of the provision. But
there is the necessity to adjust the ap-
preparations so that the Commissioners

proceed with the establishment OF the
new penal institution.
The bill authorizing the acceptance as a
federal institution of the Straus milk
laboratory will probably come up for ac-
ton in the Senate District committee at

over the laboratory is to be vested in the

ice, under the Secretary of the Treasury,
the measure introduced by Senator Gal
linger was referred to the Treasury De
patment officials for report and recon-
mendations for changes, Those recon-
mendations reached John Walker. clerk
of the Senate committee, today and
are expected to be presented 10 the full
committee tomorrow.
One of the suggestions which Secretary
MacVeagh is known to have made is
that the bill be SO drafted as to insure the
sale Of milk to the poor at cost. They
are the chief beneficiaries of the plant, it
is contended. and they should get its out
put at a minimum of cost.

GENEVA, January 20, 1911.
In the Emmenthal valley and on the

few days ago to a depth of fifteen
inches, giving the whole country. which
was white with snow before. a funereal
and most depressing aspect over large
area. The first few inches OF the snow
was Of a grayish color. as if mixed with
ashes, but the gray became darker and
darker in hue until it was almost black.
Such a phenomenon has been witnessed
in the Alps In former years after vol
canic eruptions in different parts of the
world. and on this occasion Swiss scien-
fists are of opinion that the black snow
is due to ashes blown over the sea and
Alps after the recent eruption of Mount

ROME. January 20, 1911.
The rumor started by the anti-clerical
press that the Vatican intends closing its
museums and galleries during the period
of the exhibit in Rome is officially con-
tradicted by the Osservatore Romano.
The attitude of the holy see with regard
to the festivities of 1911 is, according TO
several prelates who have allowed them
selves to be interviewed on the subject,
one of absolute neutrality.
1t is obvious that the holy see can
have no part In rejoicings to celebrate
the loss of its temporal power. but. on
the other hand it does not contemplate
counter demonstrations of any kind what
ever For that matter, il is fairly GER
tain that the Vatican and the Italian
government win. as usual, depend on the
good understanding which almost in
variably influences their mutual action.
