CANDIED BOMB
EXPLODED FEARS
Hysterical Woman Thought 1t
Real-POlice Head Ate
Part of Ii

NEW YORK. March GAN ex-
cited female voice called over the
telephone To Lieut. Atherson In the
West Sixty-eighth-st. station last
evening:
There's bomb in my house
Please send somebody to take il
away I'm afraid 10 touch IL for
fear ii will explode. and il something
isn't done it'll 40 of anyhow. This
Is Mrs. Clara Kellogg at No. 2O7
West Eighty-fifth-st. Please hurry"
Casting hts eyes about for daunt-
less bomb remover. the lieutenant's
gaze fell upon husky, fearless Patrol
man Neggerschmidt. who was taking
things easy in the back room.
Here's bomb job; go up and
look IL over" Atherson ordered
When Neggerschmidt got To the
address he was given. he found Mrs.
Kellogg and three other women gaz-
Ing awesomely at box about foot
long which reposed on the dining
room table. 1t was wrapped In
brown paper and tied with heavy
string.
"A messenger just handed II In
Mt the door and then went away"
said Mrs. Kellogg. please carry n
off-oh! I'm afraid it'll explode any
moment"
''Who-me?" said Neggerschmidt.
Me carry ii OF? No ma am. That's
I bomb. all right. There's exDerts up
at the bureau OF combustibles TO
handle bombs. and I'll call the lieu
tenant and have him get one"
But when he described the thing
over the phone. Lieut.. Atherson said:
'Oh. take chance. Bring 1t
down here and I'll open it,"
And down Neggerschmidt went.
He placed the box carefully m AriTer-
sons hands and then backed of. wip-
Ing his brow. and begging the lieu
tenant:
"Ple-ease don't open It. You mi ght
get killed"
After a little survey Atherson cut
the string. Nothing happened. Then
he tore of the paper. Still no deaf
aning defamation Then he lifted the
lid. Silence. While Neggersch midt
held his hands over his eyes. the lieu
tenant dug into the box. took out
two white tissue paper packages and
found that they contained pound
each OF the "veribest" marshmal-
lows the market affords.
He ate one: then another. Then
he said to Neggerschmidt:
Here. you better take this box
back or there won't be any OF these
bullets left"
Mrs. Kellogg was so sorry. What
Neeeerschmidt said violates the pure
| food law.

and is surrounded by soldiers and
machine guns" this same man declares
He is afraid of Huerta and Huerta is
afraid of him. OrozcO. CaraveO. Ter
