dred persons who were going home
from theater shortly before mid
night had a narrow escape from death
when black hand" bomb exploded
before their eyes at the door Of an
Italian barber shop on One Hundred
and Twenty-ffth street They prob
ably owe their safety to the bravery
of Patrick Delaney, a teamster, who
was passing the doorway Of the little
barber shop, and heard the sizzling Of
the fuse. Delaney knew without
thinking twice that it was bomb. He
flung up his hands and yelled at those
passing to stand back. AS the crowd
retreated Delaney ran across the
street. The next moment there was
roar and the big window Of he
barber shop fell into the street. No
one was injured.
The police say that the barber has

M Rloht u Ask ArbitratIon


washington, Sept. S.-No less than
three separate and distinct Zines Of
action" are open to the British gov
ernment In dealing with the problem
raised by the passing of the Panama
canal tolls act. President Taft has
indicated that one method was to in
clude in the act paragraph giving
Jurisdiction to American courts to
pass upon whether the act constituted
a discrimination against British ship
ping, in violation Of the Hay -Paunce-
fote treaty Another way would be
to allow any British shipowner to
test under existing laws before any
United States court his right to use
the canal under the treaty on terms
OF equality with American ship own
ers
Chairman Adamson Of the house
committee on interstate and ofreign
commerce. and many senators have
declared that if British rights have
been infringed there already was a
remedy in the statutes. The last ave-
nue. is relief through arbitration, al
though many publicists have held
that owing to changes in sovereignty
over the canal zone and other events
developed since the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, Great Britain has no actual
right to demand arbitration.

IRRIGATION PLANT

D. a. Camfield appeared this morn
Ting before the board Of trustees o
the Las Vegas land grant ant
offered a proposition for the set
tlement OF the legal proceedings insti
ttued against him some time ago BY
that body. He suggested compro
mise. Mr. Camfeld admitted that the
Camfield Development company Of
Greeley, Colo, Of which he is the
head. had been unable to carry oui
the terms Of its contact fOt the
completion Of the gigantic irrigation
project upon the grant north Of this
city, He stated that this condition
existed because Of the fact that his
corporation was unable to dispose OF
it's bonds, thus being embarrassed in
the financing Of the project.
Mr.. Camfeld proposed to the board
that it drop the suit against his com
pany, himself and his bondsmen for
the collection Of the 100000 bond
which was posted for the faithful com
plet5on of the terms Of the contract
Inklreturn he agreed to reconvey to
the board deeds for he 10000 acres
Of land which were given to him sew
eral months ago as compensation for
his work. Mr.. Camfeld also agreed
to settle all financial obligations
leaving the board free from claims by
persons and corporations to whom In
debtedness had been incurred in car
rying the work to its present stage.
He stipulated that he should be paid
fair price for what has been ac-
complished and suggested that no
agreement be made with him until
after the board had decided definite
ly whether or not 1t would accept
the proposition Of Messrs. Thorpe
and Moore Of Denver for the compile
ton Of the irrigation system.
Mr.. Camfield said his firm is not con.
nected in any way with Messrs' Thorpe
and Moore. but that he knew them
to be reliable men and thought them
capable of fulfilling any contract in
to which they might enter with the
grant board. He declared those gen
tlemen had spent a large sum Of
money in investigating the project
and evolving means Of financing II

PARTY SPLIT

Des Moines, Sept. S.Senator AL
bert B. Cummins Of Iowa, in public
statement issued today, declares that
he expects to vote for Colonel Roose-
velt for president, but is opposed TO
the formation of third party. He
does not believe that President Taft
was the choice Of the republicans OF
the nation.
"The denomination of President
Taft" said Senator Cummins. "was
opposed by an overwhelming majority
of the republicans throughout the
country simply because in his admin
istration Of the office Of president he
had not done nor said the things
which the great body Of the people
believed he should have done and
said. A meager majority succeeded
in renominating him.

the power Of bad system and the
machinations of a committee.
There is but one way. however. to
make sure that the system of the
Chicago convention will be abolished
and its scenes never repeated. and
that is to make it plain that the cam

LEARNS WHERE HE CAN FIND
WITNESSES

New York, Sept. Son the appli-
cation Of States Attorney Whitman
the case of Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker, charged with the murder Of
Herman Rosenthal, was transferred
today from the court of general ses-
sions to the criminal branch of the
supreme lcourt before Justice John
w. Cor. sitting in extraordinary term.
Becker, when arraigned, still re-
fused to plead, acting on his coun-
sells advice that the indictment had
been improperly and illegally found"
BY direction of Justice Goff, tech
nical plea Of not guilty was entered
for the prisoner.
Counsel for Becker protested that
he was not ready to go to trial, but
Justice Goff quickly oyerruled four
motions for delay and set the trial for
September IL. TO the surprise Of
all, Becker's lawyer did not ask for
a change of venue. He requested,
however, that the trial be set for some
time about the middle Of October when
the present hysteria and clamor," I"
should have subsidized.
Aside from the arraignment Of
Becker, most interesting of the days
developments in the RosenthaI case
was the discovery by the district at
torneys office of two alleged hiding
places for possible state witnesses
conducted by the so-calIed vice
trust in Hoboken, N J., and Center
Vile, N. ", and the report that
much money belonging to Becker had
been traced to Port Jervis, N. 7.
