STICKS OF DYNAMITE
EQuMDIN CITY HALL

New York. Aug. PA deadly charge of
dynamite-three whole 10-inch sticks and
two halves with a fuse and ~detonator-
was discovered yesterday near Mayor
Gas-nor's office windows in the city hall.
The bureau of c~oInbustibles found that
the explosive was 40 per cent dynamite,
the regulation blasting proportion, and
the amount found would, il exploded, have
wrecked the city hall.
The mayor was in his ofica-when the
dynamite was discovered by citizens pass
ing through City Hall park. Mr.. Gaynor
evinced little interest when told Of the
explosives proximity and remained app
parently undisturbed at his desk while
police officers hurriedly drew a Gordon
about the dynamite to keep pack an ex-
cited crowd.
Mr.. Gaynor frequently receives threat
ening letters, but tonight he would make
no statement regarding the possible con-
nection between any previous threat by
mail and the dynamite today. 1t is just
three years ago this month that he was
shot in the neck by a so-ca!led crank and
SO badly wounded that for several days
it was feared he would die.
The police authorities say that laborers
sometimes carelesslS crop dynamite sticks
near their blasting operations. There is
an excavation shaft on the Broadway side
of City Hall park, leading to the new SUBJ
way construction. Detectives are making
a close investigation tonight of this loca-
ton. although the contractors declare that
tfley do not use 40 per cent dynamite in
their operations.

AMERICAN MURDER
Story That DR.. Holbrook, of

Mistake Is Secuted.

Lynn
Constantinople, Aug. 26.-The United
States embassy here has dispatched
Lewis Heck, acting vice consul, to
open an inquiry into the circumstances
attending the murder last week of DR..

rounding the house of an Armenian,
who had been paying attentions to
some Turkish women. Two Turks. de-
termined to punish the Armenian,
forced their way into the garden and
shot the sleeping Dr.. Holbrook in mis-
take for the owner of the house.

was a deliberate one.

Washington, Aug. pa remarkable
bii., intended to enable the Milwaukee

a low figure of 2,OS9 acres of coal land
to the Republic Coal company, a SUBJ
sidiary of the Milwaukee, road. The
land contains 10, 000, 600 tons Of high
grade bituminous coal. AS Meyers in
troduced the bill 1t would have been
sold at 11-5 cents a ton. The language
has been modified to have the secre-

1t has not been received by the war
department, but copies are in the

Filipinos in parts of the island COM
monty capture children and sell them
into slavery for profit. Some are sent
ito China, where they are dressed in
the native fashion. Some children
have been enticed from their homes
by slave agents on promises of schol-
arships in schools and some of those.
in an instance which Mr.. Worcester
reports In detail, were sold and others
case Of a 1~3-year-old girl bought for
some pigs and a cloak The supreme
court Of the islands released h slave
trader on the ground that no crime had
been committed, because no physical
force had been used. This n case,
Mr.. Worcester say a blocked other
slavery prosecutions. The Philippine
assembly has blocked laws for the
suppression of the traffic, he says, be-
cause many Of the members come from
provinces where slavery flourishes.
One of his reports on the traffic, he
says, lies tabled in the Philippine as
: sembly.
Mr.. Worcester declares he had great
difficulty in getting facts of slave
cases M intimates that reports were
withheld by the officers Of the Philip
pine constabulary. He cites the case
of a Philippine a~ssemblyman caught
