ATTEMPT MADE TO
DYNAMITE HOUSE
At MANHATTAN
CAMP OF EXPLOSIVES FOUND
ON FRONT STEPS WITH
FUSE PROTRUDING.

The following account of an at
tempt to dynamite a house in the
red light district of Manhattan is
taken from the Mail of that camp:
ITO find a box of powder lying
on the front steps of your resi-
dence, with a fuse protruding which
showed that it had been ignited, is
apt to make the cold shivers chase
up and down ones spinal column.
That was the experience of Mar
garet Werst yesterday morning.
THE box was one of those in
which Hills Brothers put up their
familiar brands of coffee, and stick
ing out from under the lid was
about a foot of fuse, the charred
end of which indicated that it
might at least have have been the
intention of the person placing the
package where it was found, to
have it explode.
'SummonIDg the services of some
one more familiar with internal
machines and their constituent
parts than herself, an investigation
Of the package was made, which
revealed that it was full of dyna
mite, the pieces being about hall
the usual length. Nicely coilec
around the inside were two pieces
of fuse, upon the end of each beins
primer. The appearance of thu
internal machine indicates that !
has been made some time. Con
stable Santos was notified, ant
took charge of the box, giving it t
Judge Haywood to be used as evi
deuce latar.
Suspicion was directed to Will
lam Olson who had been in tn
house at late hour the night pre-
yious and became incensed at tn
treatment accorded him by one 0
G,the inmates, stating that he woul
blow the establishment up Olso
has been heard to make the sam
threat upon previous occasions, bu
nothing was thought of 1t at tn
time, as he was in an intoxicate
condition and has been drinkin
pretty heavily of late.
''He was taken into custody late
in the day and will have a hearin
when he is sufficiently sober
realize the gravity of the offens
with which he is charged.
1T is little short of miraculor
that The powder was not explode

claim the championship Of some UNI
known country. Here in the United
States we know that Mahmout,
zbyszko and the better wrestlers
among the Americans are the class Of
the country. Those newcomers with
h heroic claims will have to show
us.
Just at the present time J. H. Her.
man, the shrewd and clever manager
Of Zbyszko. is trying to get on a re-
turn match with Gotch. The condi-
tions he names are fair and have not
been answered logically by the cham
says that he will wager $4,000 on
Zbyszko or as much money as the
champion will bet. Then Gotch re-
plies by telling him to meet Mahmout.
Zbyszko has already won two victories

If Gotch will agree to wager $1,000 on
Mahmout that there will be no trouble
in arranging a match.
What some of US would like to see
before the conclusion of the present
wrestling season Is a meeting between
Jess Petersen and Zbyszko and the

winner of this match could meet Gotch
in the last big contest that the cham.
