DYNAMITE
PLACED UNDER
FREIGHT CAR
Discovered in Time to Pre-
vent Blowing Up Of
a Train
DETECTIVES ARE TRYING
TO DISCOVER MISCREANTS
By rho United Press.

BY The United Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 29-Contral
Office detectives today joined forces
with the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad sleuths to trace those re-
sponsible for the placing of nineteen
sticks of dynamite beneath the trucks
of a freight car loaded with paper
from Bellows Falls, Vt. consigned to
the Garrctf-Buchanan Company. The
best clue the detectives have is the
paper that was wrapped around the
explosive
The significance fact that there
were five cars in the same train con-
signed to the American Woolen Com
pany at Lawrence, Mass, against
whom there is a strike In progress
has led the detectives to the theory
that the dynamite was meant to de-
stroy that company's property.
Detectives at work on the case
agree that the dynamite was placed
under the wrong car. Had il been
set off the entire train of thirty cars
would have been blown to pieces.
Only bungling work in placing the
explosive prevented its going off The
sticks were wrapper in paper and so
placed that the friction of the wheels
would gradually wear off the paper,
exposing the dynamite. Either through
haste or ignorance the dynamite was
not placed near enough TO the wheels.
The train left Bellows Falls, Vt, a
week ago yesterday on the Boston &
Maine Railroad. From Boston the
cars we're shifted to the New York
New Haven & Hartford Railroad and
when the train reached New York,
the car consigned to the Garrett-Bu-
chanan firm here was sent via the
Reading Railroad. While on the way
the car, it is said, laid off at Law
renee, Mass.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29-To secure

Labor Commissioner Charles p. Neill,
the Strike expert" of The government.
will reach the Massachusetts mill city
today from Washington.
Confronted with the facts ~ the
long bitter struggle of the Lawrence
men, women and children workers
the Federal authorities have concmd-

costs. Neill's errand was the re-
suit.
Under the law Neill will have abso-
lutely no authority to interfere as be-
tween the strikers and the mill own
ers. though he has legal authority in
railroad strikes. He acted unofiicially
as arbitrator in the big anthracite
strike.
Neill started for Lawrence with
blank orders. Under the law there is
no way the Federal government can
intervene TO induce or force a settle
ment of the strike But they depend
on Neills ability and experience to
discover some Way, even if he finds
it necessary 20 act outside of his Off

PRESIDENT TAFT

Mr.. Henry Waterson, editor OF the

many good things that it is not sur
prising that this graceful compliment
fell from the Watterson pen:
"President Taft's swan song IS
that of a sane. sensible. temperate
man whose philosophy OF life is too
optimistic to be reversed by :eye~s-
es at the polls, and whose sincerity
of purpose was never questioned even
when the position he occupied is a
party leader forced him into unpopu-
lar attitudes"
Mr.. Watterson has accurately de-
scribed the attitude of the public to.
ward President Taft. 1t is indeed
gratifying that Americans generally
may entertain such a cheerful feellr 9
toward the man whom they have
just defeated for the presidency

In view of the warning sent out by
the Exchange it will be suicidal to
continue orange shipments, and it
will be money in the pockets of every
grower to let the fruit hang on the
trees.
If the advice of the Exchange is
followed the markets will be cleared
up and good prices will be obtained.
If not followed the markets will be-
come congested, and the shippers
will be fortunate if they realize
enough to pay freight charges.
The Fruit Exchange is the orange
growers friend, and its hands should
be held up by everyone who has a
box of oranges to ship.
Be wise; read what the officers

BRYAN AND WILSON

1t may be true, as is frequently
said, that If it had not been for Bry-
an, Wilson would NOT have been nom
mated at Baltimore" In a sense,
then, Wilson's nomination is due to
Bryan; but does Bryan deserve the
gratitude of the nominee for the re-
suit? Should Bryan be signally hon
ored for what he did by appointment
to the foremost position in the cabi-
net or to any other high position I'M
der the government?
To those who are fully acquaint-
ed with events at Baltimore and with
the motives that prompted them
there must be a negative answer to
both of these questions, in the opinion
of a writer in the New York Sun, who
claims to have been an eye witness OF
the dongs at the convention.
This writer asserts that at no
time did Bryan work for Wilson'S
nomination. He calls attention fur
Their to the fact that on the night Of
Sunday, June 80, Bryan issued a
statement suggesting the name OF
Senator Kern of Indiana for the nom
ination, and as additional compromise
candidates he mentioned Senators
James of Kentucky, Culserson Of
Texas, Rayner of Maryland and
O'Gorman of New York Wilson's
name was not included in the list,
nor at any time mentioned by Bryan
in connection with the nomination.
1t was the universal opinion among
those democrats who were on the
ground at the time OF the issuance Of
this statement that he objec of it
was to continue the wrangle and
confusion and bring about the forma-
ton of the idea in the minds of the
members of the convention that the
nomination of Bryan himself was the
only possible solution of the situa-
ton.
The writer in the Sun further as
serts that members of Bryan's own
family openly declared that he was
a candidate for the nomination, and
were bitterly disappointed at VIII
sons nomination"
In the intent lies the criterion by
which an action, good or bad. should
be judged, with reference TO either
reward or punishment. If Bryan did
not intend or desire to bring about
the nomination of Wilson. but that
event was brought to pass accidental
ly, as it might be said, by the inf1u-
ences that We're set in motion by him
for the purpose of accomplishing g
different result. then he deserves no
reward whatever. Tampa Times.
