Automobiles are playing a great part
IN both crimes. The driver Of one car
is sought because he visited a drug store

This clue is being followed on account
Of the bottle Of ether which was found in
Nine. Lantelmes tomb. This was prob
ably used as a disinfectant by soaking
in il cotton wool which the robbers placed

Five Anarchists are missing from their

EXPLOSION AT
DUPONT FACTORY
Nineteen Kegs Of Powder go up But
no One Was Killed by
Blow.

BELLENILLE, ILL.,, Jan 17.-An ex-
plosion of nineteen kegs OF powder in
a "wheelhouse' at the Dupont powder
mills on the bluffs, near Belleville, at
Ais p. m. yesterday, caused consid
cradle excitement in Belleyille, East
ST. Louis and the territory adjoining.
where the shock was felt and the re-
port heard For time rumors were
afoat that several men had been
killed, but these proved untrue.
According to Supt James Wilson,
no one was near the building when
the explosion occurred, and the entire
damage was less than 5000. There
are four Warehouses; at the plant,
being small structures of wood and
galvanized iron. where the powder
passes through a certain process IN
manufacture. All buildings OF the
plant are isolated, so that only one
building can blow up at time. There
have been several terrific explosions
at the Dupont mills within the years
IL has been in operation on the bluhs'
and these have killed twelve work
men. Since the last heavy explosion
three years ago. which occurred at
night. and was felt throughout south
ern Illinois. extra precautions have
been taken. One was to reduce the
output of the plant.

INSANE MAN DID IT

PARIS, Jan. 17.-Premier BRAND
narrowly escaped assassination today
in the chamber of deputies when ne
was fired at by an insane man.
Brands assailant is named Gisolme.
He was formerly a college professor.
He obtained admission to the second
gallery of the chamber by using the
ticket Of his brother. He used large
revolver and fired two shots, one of
which barely missed Brands head.
He was captured and rushed into
cloak room from where he was re-
moved by the officers. He was only
recently released from an insane
asylum.
ut was BRAND, was after, he
exclaimed. At the police station,
however, he declared that he only
shot for fun to see how much excite
ment he could create. - sae
Premier BRAND refused to make any
statement regarding the attack That
Gisolme was bent on murder, Is shown
by the fact that he struggled after
being seized and tried to continue
shooting

WORLD STRIKE
ON SHlPBOARD.
Sword Of Damocles Hangs over the
Shipping Interests by the Single
Horsehair Of
Fiction.
THE SHIPPING ACT
Universal Strike is said to be Agreed
Upon But the Date Of the
Outbreak is Kept
Secret.
THE SHIPPING ACT

LONDON, Jan. 17.-"Over the head
OF the shipping trade Of the United
Kingdom, and indeed, of International
shipping interests" says the London
Globe. "hangs the Damoclean sword
OF world strike
The aim Is to paralyze the COM
merce of the world by a general inter.
national strike, as agreed upon at the
Copenhagen Congress of the Interna.
ional Transportation Workers Asso-
citation, held in August. That resolu-
ton set forth the determination of the
mems leaders to conduct general
striks because OF the refusal Of the
owners to discuss the proposals OF the
seamen's unions in Europe for the
establishment of conciliation board
1t was. added that the time for the
strike should be kept secret.
Since the congress all the labor or
ganizations connected with the ship
ping interests have been discussing
the methods to be adopted. Quite re-.
Gently an ominous circular has been
issued by the executive committee of
the Dock, Wharf. Riverside and Cen
eral Workers Union OF Great Britain
The officials refuse to divulge tho ma
ture OF the document, which is believ-
ed to bear directly upon the date and
! time of the projected strike.
.Havelock Wilson, the Leader of the
Seame.ls S and Firen.cn's Union, has
been very active IN the business for
some months. The mems grievances
have been stated by Mr.. Wilson to be
connected with their present condition
OF employment. They object to the
practice OF paying off men at any
] port to suit the convenience of ship
] owners, asserting that the men should
be paid off at the port at which they
signed from. The practice, it is as
serted, leaves the men stranded in q
8 foreign port without means to gel
home and leaves them no means OIL
redress against their employers.
aThe men admit that the Shipping
J Act effected great improvement ir
i the state Of diet but complain thai
\ there are no provisions for enforcing
it's observance and that more depend:
upon the good will of the ships of
ficers than upon the act itself. They
: further state that complaints lead t.
the victimization of members of thu
, Seamens and Firemen's Union. WHIT
