The men who lost their lives had
arrived at the plant for the days
work and were repairing one of the
packing machines when the explo-
sion occurred. The dynamite was
loose in 1O0-pound lots on the pack
ing trays, and but for this the dam
age would have been much more Sc

A South Shore interurban train
was within a few hundred yards of
the slant when the explosion oc-
Cured, but no M on the train was
injured, although the force of the
blast broke windows in the town of

ground, only the skylight being
above the surface. All other build
inae composing the plant are SINH
lariy constructed and are widely

dress to the jury, and four witnesses
had taken the stand. Among these
/ was DR.. Otto Schultze, the coroner's
physician, who performed the autopsy.
DIR. Schultze produced the bullets
now shapeless bits of lead, which he
had taken from Rosenthals brain,
and held them for the inspection OF
the court, where the defendants could
see them.
"Dago Frank" cirofci was grinn.ne
as Mr.. Moss concluded his scathinR
arrangement; Whitley" Lewis was
restless and belligerent, and appar-
emily took the prosecutors words al
their full meaning, while Lefty
Louie and "Gyp the Blood leaned
back in their chairs, looked around
and appeared stolidly Indifferent TO
what was going on.
In beginning his address Mr.. Moss

GOVERNOR WILSON
RECEIVES CALLERS
ISpeakership Discussed by Dem
ocratic Assemblymen in
Trenton.
tFrom a STAFF Correspondent

TRENTON, Nov. Ex-Governor Will
son received callers at the State
House today. Among his first callers
was Nathan Hirsch, a member OF the
Democratic State Committee, a cotton
manufacturer and one of the men
chosen as presidential electors in New
York State.
Mr.. Hirsch had some views to ex-
press to the Governor on cotton tariff
rates, but the Governor said he was
not ready to take up the subject and
asked Mr.. Hirsch to commit his views
in writing and he would give them
proper consideration later on.
Another caller was Assemblyman
Thomas Martin, of Hudson county,
who was Democratic floor leader In
the Assembly last year and who is a
candidate for speaker. 1t is under
stood that the Governor expressed
the intention of not taking any part
in the s~peakership contest.
Many Candidates in Field.
The talk about the corridors
seemed to favor Assemblyman Hen
Messy, of Bergen county; but. on the
other bend there were whispers that
Mr.. Hennessey has too strong local
option leanings to make him desir-
able for speaker. Another favorite
seems to be Assemblyman Taylor, OF
Monmouth county. Assemblymen
Egan, of Hudson, and Holcombe, OF
Hunterdon, are among the candi-
dates. Most of the assemblymen-elect
here were non-committal, and at the
present time it may be said to be any
body's fight. The Essex assembly
men were nearly all here, but they
are not expressing themselves as to
the speakership.
Senators and Congressmen Present.
United States Senator James e.
MARITIME, with Senator-to-be William
Hughes and a number of the New
Jersey Democratic congressman ano
congressmen-elect, called upon Gov
ernor Wilson to pay their respects
and afterward the party was enter
tanned at lunch at the Stirling by Mr..
MARITIME. Among the congressman
present were Messrs. Scully and
Tnttle. Among the congressman
elect were Messrs. Baker, Walsh.
Martin. Hart, Bremner and Eagan.
Senator James F. Fielder, of Hud-
son. was here, and had a clear field
to himself for the presidency of the
Senate, which will make him acting
governor.

ner-WouId-Be Slayer of Bull Moose Leader Little Con-
cerned at Outcome of Case.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Nov. "a
John schrank pleaded guilty today
Of attempting ta murder Theodore
Roosevelt and in his plea he sought
to distinguish between an assault on
Roosevelt as a menace and an at
tack on Roosevelt as a citizen.
Municipal Judge A. c. Backus an
nounced, upon reading a petition of
District Attorney Winfred c. label,
that he would later today name a
commission to examine Schrank S
mental condition.
Fewer than $50 persons listened to
the proceedings and watched the
small, compact form of Schrank as
he stepped slowly to the bar and
entered his plea. OF this number,
twenty detectives and half a score
Of deputy sheriffs kept unnecessary
but vigilant watch on all persons in
the room not known to them.
The district attorney read the COM
plant in which Schrank vas ac-
cused Of having made an assault
upon the person of zone Theodore
Roosevelt with a deadly weapon and
with intent then and there to kill
and slay the said Theodore Roose-
Welt"
How do you plead to this
charger" the prosecutor asked, the
prisoner standing at his elbow.
why, guilty, Mr.. label" replied
the prisoner in a confused way. as
though not sure he was following the
proper procedure.
"You have heard the complaint
~interposed Judge Backus in a loud
voice. You understand that in il
you are charged with having at
tempted to murder Theodore Roose-
welt. DO you plead guilty or not
guilty"
II did not mean to kill a citizen,

victiOn of Accused
Concern.
GIRL, COMPANY'S ALLEGED
"BRAINS," NOT AT HEARING
Miss Hyland Said to Have In
structed Lawyer to Fight
to a Finish.

Loan-shark methods and the part
that women play in feecing borrow
ers will be fully exposed, ACCORDING
to the police, when the members Oh
the State Brokerage Company, Oh eo'
Broad street. are examined in the
First Criminal Court.
The arrest of Mss Frances Hyland.
Of 1883 Broad street. as the allegeo
brains of hat concern, has struck
terror into other loan companies OF
the city.
Fearing that a strenuous crusade
against extortion and usury is about
to be begun by the police, they have
combined, 1t is said, to defend the
State Brokerage Company. Should
Miss Hyland and her alleged asso-
ciate, ]. E. Crater, be found guilty
and punished by a Jail sentence OF
even a fine, the loan brokers tear
that thousands of their patrons may
be encouraged to make complaints.
The police believe hat Mss Hyland
was assisted by a man in the employ
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. who furnished her with lists
of names and had the salaries of de-
unouant debtors attached. De-
t~ectives are seeking him today.
In their search they learned further
details of the methods the State
Brokerage Company is alleged to
have used. When a note was not
paid in full upon expiration 1t IL
said that a new note was often drawn
UP for double the amount.
Miss Hyland did not appear In the
First Criminal Court today when her
ease was called.
She sent her lawyer, Frank W
Long, of . Clinton street. to repre-
sent her and her associates. He
asked Judge Hahn for a weeks adj

Wholesale complaints of usury
have been made against the State

These patrons, the police learned
today. have been approached since
the court hearing yesterday with
offers of fun restitution. Who is re-
sponsible for these offers the detec-
tives have been unable to discover.
AS it is, the police believe hat
those who have already complained
are but a small representation OF the
men who borrowed money from the
firm.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE deadlock
in the International political sitna-
ton brought about by the Balkan
war continues. Neither Austria-Bun-
gary nor Servia has given way on a
single essential point in regard to the
future Of Albania, and the proposed
occupation by the Servians of a port
on the Adriatic Sea.
Despite this and the further fact
that the Russian press is daily inten-
styling the warlike tone of its sup
port of the Servian cause, some of
the European c~hanceileries take a
more optimistic view of the condition
of affairs. assuming hat yesterdays
conferences between the Austrian
and Servian statesmen at Budapest
have tended to relieve the crisis.
So far as is known, however, DIR. S.
Daneff, the president of the Bulgar-
ian Chamber of Deputies, simply in
formed Emperor Francis Joseph and
his ministers of the position of the
Balkan nations in the matter and in
return had explained to him for the
benefit of Servia and Bulgaria the
policy of Austria Hungary.
The great powers not directly in
terested in the outcome, but more
particularly Germany. are making
strong efforts to reconcile the two
antagonists, and it is believed that
Germany has at least induced Aus
tria-Hungary not to press her OBJ
~jections to Servia's aims until the
end of the campaign. Germany has
pointed out that the whole question
of the Balkans can then be settled
by a European conference in which
the Balkan nations will have a voice.
When Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
the heir to the Austrian throne. meets
the German emperor shortly, the
plans for this conference will be
drawn up in outline.

In the meantime, it is said that the
European powers, at the request OF

ing an armistice.
Bulgaria is not likely to accede to
an armistice until the conclusion of
the battle along the lines of Tchatalja

now being fought, the principal move
in which only awaits the arrival of
