New York, March 17-The F0me of
Judge Otto A. Rusalsl1y of tie court
of general sessions. where the justice
narrowly escaped deGth or injury by
bomb which was delivered to him
last night, was the scene today of re-
neWed excitement. A man appeared at
the Rosalsky apartment, wildly kicked
at the door and demanded admittance,
which the frightened maid denied him
Taken to Bellevue for Observation.
The stranger. who was shabbily
dressed, forced his way past the hall
attendants in the Hendrick Hudson
apartment building and climbed six
flights of stairs to see Judge Rosalsky
about fancied persecution by the To-

the man was taken to Bellevue for

the name of Wolf Berman, and his
business as cigarnaker.
Inspector Eqan Joins Manhunt
The police believe him insane but
harmless and in no wise connected
with the attempt made yesterday on
Judge Rosalsky's life with the bomb.
Inspector Owen Egan of the bureau Of
combustbles, who was badly injured
while examining the bomb in the
judges library last night, insisted on
leaving the hospital, although he suf-
fered pain from a nangled hand and
torn face. With his face and hands
swathed in heavy bandages he Joined

police department who were investi-

was intimated that the detectives were
working on important clues suggested
by further talks with Judge R0salsky
regarding his suspicious as to the
sender.
Tsyior Bomb Mystery Not Cleared Up
Postal inspectors have joined delsc-
tIves in~the search for the letter car
rier who delivered the bomb in yes
terday's mail Another feature Of the
investigation was comparison of the
Rosalsky bomb with one which killed
Helen Taylor on nth street, on Feb
ruary last The police never cleared
up that mystery.
Dirt May have Saved Judges Life.
Similarity in the construction of the
two bombs IS said to be remarkabl
in some particulars. Both bombs bore
typewriter addresses on white paper,
pasted on to a manila paper wrapper.
The boxes were about of the same size
and each cortained two tiny electric
batteries and a spring arrangement
designed to produce an electric spark
when the cover of the box was re-
moved. That this did NOT work when
Judge Rosalsszy opened the box last
night is believed TO have been due TO
small particles of dirt which had ac-
cumulaEed about the spring.

New ork, March 17-Grover Cleve-

meeting in the City College, this pc

or Harmon OF OHIO and other men OF

hall with Mrs. John h Finley, Mrs.
Daniel =, Lamont, widow OF Mr. CleVe-
lands secretary OF war, ana Mrs. JOS
eph u. Bryant, waite of MF. Cleveland S
physician.
Grover Cleveland earned the sin
cerest gratitude of his cOuntrymen and
justified recurring memorial occasions
like the one in which we are taking
part" President Taft wrote. He was
a great president, not because he was
a great lawyer, not because he was a
brilliant orator, not because he was a
statesman Of profound learning but
because ne was a patriot with the
highest sense of public duty, because
he was a statesman OF clear percep-
tions, of the utmost courage of his
convictions, and of great plainness Of
speech; because he was man of the
highest character; father and husband
of the best type and because through
out his political life he showed those
rugged virtues of the public servant
and citizen, the emulation of which
by those who follow him will render
progress of our political life toward
beLter things a Certainty."
