POLICE FIND DYNAMITE.
Leader Ettor Claims That Mill Own
ers "Pianted" It.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 2i.-The dis
coyery, today, of three lots of dyna-
mite with fuses and caps and the re-
sulting arrest of number of persons
strengthens the belief of the police
that the destruction of some of the
mills against which the textile strike
is directed, was being plotted.
Inspector William Rooney of Bos-
ton, who is in charge of the squad
which is investigating the dynamite
situation, said. Saturday night, that
two bad men who would not hest
tate at anything, were known TO be
in Lawrence, and We're being CON
stantiy Swallowed. These men, he said,
arrived from New York, Friday, bur
had not done anything which LAID
them liable to arrest as yet.
Saturday night on a second visit TO
the cobbler shop of Urbano de Prato,
Inspector Rooney and his squad found
a bundle containing six sticks OF dy-
Mantle and seven caps. The bundle
was in the window along with similar
parcels containing old shoes The po-
lice are positive that ii was not there
when the shop was searched, early IN
the day.
The second lot was found in st. Mary $
cemetery. off Barker street about two
hours later, lying on top of the snow
and against tree trunk, without any
apparent attempt at hiding. Practically
the same squad of police officials MADE
the find In this lot were IS sticks OF
dynamite. with IS percussion caps, while
the first bundle contained only seven
sticks and about the same number oi
caps

Board Made in 1856 3. C. Is Found in
Egypt.

G. Fl. IimErey of London, the secre-
tary of the English Draughts Assoc

the Manchester Draughts club, traced
the game back to ancient Egypt, and
was of opinion that it was in that

He pointed out that Egyptologists
had discovered many references to
the game not only in old papyrus, but
bv actual boards and men which had
beel excavated from the ruins of the
old Egyptian cities.
Mr.. Limbrey illustrated his lecture
by means of water color sketches and
photographs of draught boards and
men which are to be found in the
British Museum, London, and includ-
ed enc which has lately been received
in the collection and was found by
Professor Finders Petrie.
This board, which belonged TO the
fourth dynasty, 1866 B. c., is the old
est draught board eXtant. The lee
turer also showed that the game was
popular in ancient Greece and Rome,
and expressed the opinion that the

means of spreading the game over the
