"BANG, AND WE ALL DE-
SAID WILD-EYED MANIAC
Had Hand on Trigger of In
ferndI Machine but De-
tective SIugged Him
CBy Associated Press,

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Nov. 20.-A ma
MAC armed with an internal machine
containing enough dynamite to blow up
a city block, marched into police head
quarters here yesterday, and stood off
the entire force for an hour and a
half, until a detective tiptoed behind
him and laid him cold with a leather
billy"
When Detective James Hosick
knocked the man unconscious with a
leather billy" after slipping up be-
hind him. the fuse of the internal ma
chine was automatically ignited, but
Detective Samuel L. Browne grabbed
the box, with its fuse sharply splut-
tering, and hurled it into the street.
Sticks of high power dynamite scat
tered over the pavement, while hun
dreds of spectators stood apparently
paralyzed by fright. Through a freak
of chance, there was no explosion, and
Browne continued kicking the sticks
of dynamite and jumping on the fuse
until he had broken the connection and
extinguished the fire.
Manacled TO a cot in the receiving
hospital last night, the would-be dyna-
inter, who gave his name as Albert
Henry Davis, is suffering with several
severe scalp wounds, but the police
surgeons say his Injuries are not Sc
rious.
Davis entered the outer office OF
Chief of Police Sebastian this fore
noon. His face and head were com
pletely covered with a grotesque
mask and he carried in his arms a
large box covered with cloth. The box
was strapped around his shoulders
and resembled a small hand-organ.
First startled and then amused by
the strange spectacle Police Sergeant
r. c. Hilf, who suspected practical
joke, asked the man what he wanted.
i've got enough dynamite in here
to blow us all into eternity" he said
"and l want you to send for the high
est official of the Southern Pacific rail
road"
BANG! WE ALL DIET
The masked visitor rested the box
on a filing cabinet and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney r. o. Graham, who was
in the office, started joking with him.
This is no joke" said Davis 81
mean business and If you don't believ'
it try to take this away from me
My hand is fastened in this box and
| if / pull it out-bank!-we all die"
A hole had been cut in the box and
the occupants of the room saw for the
first time that the mans left hand was
hidden in the box.
In the meantime Chief Sebastian, who
had had a brief conversation with the
man and realized that he was in earn
est, ordered the street rOped off for q
block either way and took steps to have
the 100 prisoners in the city prison re-
moved. Upstairs in the building twt
| justice courts were in session and both
courtrooms were crowded.
A detective passed the word to bail
if in Judge Chambers court, where q
Japanese was having a preliminary ex-
lamination on murder charge before q
crowd of his countrymen. The bailin
whispered to the judge.

MORSE TELEGRAPH CODE
AN OLD IRISH INVENTION?

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-The Morse
code, by which messages are flashed over
the vast network OF wires throughout
the civilized world. was not the inven-
ton Of Samuel F. b. Morse, but was OF
Irish origin, being the old Gaelic dot and
dash alphabet in use as early as 1850.
This declaration by Professor James
Money before the Archaeological society
OF Washington has stirred up a heated
controversy.
Professor Money declared that the
Gaelic alphabet OF the Ogem system, as
f. is known. was actually the basis OF
the so-called Morse code. He insisted
his contention was fully carried out by
the records OF the ancient Irish people
as found IN. stone and wooden carvings.
There = seventeen letters in the
Gaelic alphabet" he declared. ''and they
began with one cash. went up to FIVE
dashes. then from FIVE dashes down to
one dash. and then began the dots. very
much the same as the Morse alphabet
used in telegraphy."

HUNGRY REPUBLICANS

Republicans, foreseeing a four years
political famine are flooding the White

The avalanche of petitions for pub

in the extreme. Many of the writers in
asking for political preferment before

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. 20.-Witn
the first big fight of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor convention, that
against the Sherman antitrust law
temporarily disposed of. the convention
today took up the subject of organiza-
ton of the federation by industries
rather than by trades. The debate is
expected to bring about a sharp division
between the radical and conservative
wings of the convention.
The federation has always been unal-
terably opposed to industrial unionism
but this year the radical faction has
forced a fight on the convention floor.
Conservatives headed by President
Gompers, say that the adoption of the
industrial plan would be only a step
toward changing the federation into an
other political party.

Watson Loses Fight
in Suit Over Acres

Thomas f. Watson. of Thomson, must
carry out the provisions of land sale
contract made by him in 1908 with viii
liam X Miller. This contract has been
in litigation for several years and on
Monday afternoon the supreme court
decided against Mr.. Watson.
II was a suit brought to compel Mr..
Watson to live. up to a contract for
the sale Of 1876 acres of land in Nc
Dufie county. for which Mr.. Miller was
TO pay $4.s12. After the contract was
executed it developed that several
months previous Mr.. Watson had decided
the property to his granddaughter.
Under the terms of the contract Mr..
Miller was to pay so much cash and
so much in three yearly installments.
Mr. Watson gave a bond for title and
agreed to convey the land by warranty
deed when it was paid for. He also
agreed to join Mr.. Miller in executing
deeds for the subsequent sale of the
property or any part thereof, and did
Join with him in executing deeds for the
sale OF two parcels. The purchasers
OF these parcels. in looking up the rec
ords. ascertained that the property had
been previously decided to Mr.. Watson's
granddaughter.
This previous deed left the title to
the property under a cloud, and Mr..
Watson agreed that Mr.. Miller should
institute proceedings to clear up the
title He explained that the deed Of
gift to the granddaughter had never
really been delivered and that it had
been recorded through an inadvertence.
Later Mr.. Miller attempted to sell two
other parcels OF the property upon con-
dition that valid titles could be secured
at the following term of court. but Mr..
Watson. having dismissed the validating
proceedings. Mr.. Miller was unable to
offer a clear title and the negotiations
were declared of.
According to the record in the case,
Mr.. Watson on February 1, 1911, took
| forcible possession of the land he had
sold 10 Miller, put a lock on the door
OF one Of the houses and notified the
two purchasers who had bought portions
of the property from Mr.. Miller to va
cate or to pay rent to him.
Mr.. Miller came back, alleging that
Mr. Watson's action was a breach of the
bond and an illegal trespass He al
legged that inasmuch as the land was
worth S35 TO $40 a month, Mr.. Watson
was indebted to him in the sum OF
| 81 600, and that Mr.. Watson had further
damaged him to the amount of $1,000.
Mr.. Miller insisted that he desired
/ the original agreement and contract car
ried out, declaring he was ready to pay
/ the remainder of the purchase price.
The supreme court in its decision held
/ that the lower court had erred in dis
missing the petition on the demurrer Of
Mr.. Watson.
