DYNAMITE FOUND
 IN NEGRO SCHOOL

w C. Davis, a teacher in the Thom- as school, colored, at Thirty fourth street and Second avenue, yesterday evening made his appearance at police headquarters to report that an attempt had been made to dynamite that build ing early yesterday morning. The jan itor, on entering the school yesterday morning, stumbled against four sticks of dynamite lying on the doorstep and. according to the teacher, is now at home in bed as the result of the scare he received.
 The police promised to investigate the matter. though the general opinion is that it was the joke of some pupil, as the sticks had not been unwrapped and we're in plain view of anyone en- tering the schoolhouse. thus making 1t improbable that they would have been discharged by contact with the foot of anyone going on the door.

Carlisle Explains Testimony.

Spartanburg, July 16.-Senator II.
b. Carlisle. chairman Of the inyesti-
eating committee, has returned to
the city. He would not express an
opinion as to the guilt or innocence
OF those accused by the witnesses or
IN the documentary evidence taken
at Augusta. Ife said the committee
had not decided whether to hold an
other hearing In Augusta or whe-
ther to take any more testimony
from Thos. B. Fielder and the Burns
detectives.
When asked why the committee
had admitted evidence not bearing
directly on the dispensary situation
for the investigation of which the
committee was specifically appoint
ed, Mr. Carlisle said that in such
cases 1T was permissible under the
law to investigate collateral mat
ters which might tend to show the
character of the persons under in
vestlgation. This rule was laid
down IN the impeachment Of Warren
Hastings, Governor Of Indiana, more
than lO0 years ago. Such evidence
was admissible, Mr. Carlisle pointed
out because 1t was difficult to get
either the giver Of a bribe or the re-
l
was sometimes necessary, therefore,
TO prove guilt to show that the at
mosphere enveloping a man was such
as to make 1t probable that he would
accept a bribe.
If a man Is accused OF a specific
murder 1t Is not permitted to intro
duce testimony that he committed
another murder, but if he is accused
of receiving stolen goods it Is allow
ed under the law to show that on
some previous occasion he received
stolen goods. On the same principle,
since Governor Blease has been ac-
cused Of accepting bribes in connec
ton with the affairs Of the dispen-
sary, evidence that he accented
bribes for pardons was admissible.
Mr.. Carlisle further pointed out
that the Governor himself had invit-
ed the closest scrutiny Of all his acts.
Mr.. Carlisle drew attention, how
ever, to the fact that the committee
had barred all the evidence which
Mr.. Fielder sought to introduce in
regard to the Governors private life.
