.DYNAM|TERS TRIED
TO KILL |NFORMER
Davis, Whose Confession I'm
plicates Many in Mcnamara
Plot, Says So.

NEW YORK, Oct. S-what use
will be made of the startling con-
fession of George e. Davis, union
ironworker and dynamiter depends
largely upon the outcome of the cases
of Frank M. Ryan and other officers
of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Ironworkers
now on appeal in the Federal courts.
Walter Drew, counsel for the Ma
tional Erectors Association. whose
pursuit resulted in the arrest of
Davis here, said today that if Ryan
and his associates gained a new trial
Davis's revelations would be the gov
ernment's most formidable weapon.
Drew intimated that the arrest of
Davis and of Harry Jones, secretary
treasurer of the Ironworkers' Union,
did not end the task of the Electors
Association. Jones, according to
Davis, did much of the office work
in connection with the dynamiting of
dozen bridges and steel frame build
ings in the East. Davis was the man
in the field Drew insisted that his
association had no desire ruthlessly
to persecute the union.

BUNNY BROMLEY
REPORTED MARRIED
Rumored She Became Wife of
Allison MacFariand at
Niagara Falls.

Miss Florence ("Bunny"l Bromley
was married on Wednesday at
Niagara Falls to Allison NJ MacFar-
land. acquitted in October. 1912, of
the murder of his wife. in this city.
That is the report that reached this
city today, being made public by
Frank NJ. McDermit, who was coun-
sci for MacFarland at his two trials
for murder. The story reached Mr..
McDermit today from Philadelphia,
which is the home city of Miss
Bromley.
The announcement of the marriage
came as surprise. for it was not
generally known that MacFarland
had been released from the Federal
prison at Atlanta, where he was sent
to serve a term of eighteen months
a year ago next month from New
York city Ten days after MacFar-
land had been acquitted on his second
trial for the murder of his wife he
was arrested in New York city on a
charge OF counterfeiting, and after
being found guilty was sent to the
Atlanta prison.
1t was known that he was making
efforts to obtain a parole, TO which he
would be eligible six months after he
had entered the prison. but so far as
can be learned no word had reached
this city that it had been granted
Mr.. McDermit refuses to say whether
he knew MacFarland was out of
prison or not, but intimates that
MacFarland obtained his release
about ten days ago.
After leaving the prison MacFarland
went TO Buffalo, where it is known
position awaited him as an advertis-
ing agent, and once in that city he
communicated with Miss Bromley
who at once Joined him and the we'd
ding resulted.
That Miss Bromley should marry
MacFarland occa sions 10 surprise to
those who followed MacFarland's ar
rest and subsequent trials for muir
der. Miss Bromley, or Bunny" as
she was more generally known, was
completely infatuated with MacFar-
land and repeatedly stated during the
time he was in prison that she would
marry him when he was free
On the day of the acquittal last Oc-
tober Miss Bromley was waiting for
MacFarland in Mr.. McDermit's office
and when he reached there from the
Court House the next move was to
go TO the marriage license bureau in
the City Hall, where an attempt was
made to obtain marriage license.
This failed. owing to the fact that
Miss Bromley was divorce and did
not have the divorce decree papers
with her.
For some time that night efforts
were made to find a justice of the
peace who would perform the =. ...e-
mony, but later after Miss bromley
had a telephone tai kwith her father

MAY retire TWO
POLICE CAPTAINS
Pres. Baader lntimates That
Conditions in Certain Pre-
cincts Are Not All Right.

The possible retirement of two or
more captains at the next meeting
OF the police commission was inti-
mated by President John Baader in
an interview today. He would not
say positively if such action would
be taken, but practically admitted
that the advisability of such move
is in the mind of more than one
member of the commission.
This insinuation was brought out
by questions having to do with the
naming of captain to fill the place
made vacant by the promotion of
Captain Michael Long to the office Of
chief, final action on which will prob
ably be taken at the. meeting of the
Common Council tonight.
The report went out yesterday that
Lieutenant Frank Tuite, who was
first on the civil service eligible list,
would not be the selection of the
commissioners for the captaincy, dis
regarding the custom in the past.
Concerning this President Baader
said:
IT can't say that Tuite will be
selected; neither can / say he will not
be selected OF course, the board can
pick any one of the first three on the
list. Each one of the eligible candi-
dates has been hard at work rounding
up his friends and bringing as much
influence to bear as possible.
1T takes three votes of the board
for a man to receive the appoint
ment, and, naturally, the man who
can get the three votes is the one who
will be selected.
Then, too, there may be other
changes" continued President
Baader. Things are not exactly as
they should be in some precincts.
There are things that have come to
the attention of the commissioners
that should be remedied by the re-
tirement of certain police captains.
OF course, that's what the pension
fund is for; but whether or not that
will be done l cannot say" he con-
cluded

CURRENCY BILL
WORRIES WILSON
! He and Senators Favorable to
/ Measure Seek Plan to Whip
1t Through.

WASHINGTON. Oct 3.-The situ-
alton confronting the administration
currency bill in the Senate has be-
come a matter of deep concern to
President Wilson and members OF
the Senate who favor early action
upon the bill.
Four members of the Senate bank
ing and currency committee nave
been in conference during the last
week in an effort to devise plan
for Fastening action on the bill, but
they have not decided finally what
course will be followed IL the full
committee should refuse to report
the bill back TO the Senate.
Chairman owen and Senators
Pomerene, Hollis and Shafroth have
participated in the conference which
began soon after the visit of Sena-
tors Owen and Shofroth to The White
House early in the week. 1t is un-
dersteod that Senators Hitchcock
O'Gorman and Reed, the three other
Democratic members of the Senate
committee. have thus far refused to
agres to any plan of immediate ac-
ton on the bill.
Several tentative plans FOR forcing
the measure upon the attention of the
full Senate have been considered by
administration leaders. These include
a proposal to have the Senate COM
mittee discharged from further con-
sideration of the BILL thus bringing
II before the full Senate, and the
alternate possibility of having a
Democratic caucus take up the prob
lens and determine what course shall
be followed.
In both cases. however, the friends
of the administration bill recognize
that sentiment is divided on the
Democratic side over many provi-
sions of the measure. 1t is believed
that an exodus of senators from
Washington will follow the signing
of the tariff bill, and that any cons
templated action involving the full
Democratic strength of the Senate
will be withheld for several weeks.

MADE RULES FOR COMPOSERS
Frederick the Great, Talented Musl

Frederick the Great was the most
distinguished musical amateur of his
age. and his position gave him the
power to regulate the style Of com
position employed by the musicians
Of his period. For instance. he made
the following rules to be followed by
operate composers: "All the prin.
cipal singers must have big arias and
different In character, as an adagio
aria. which must be very cantabile
to show OF to good advantage the
voice and delivery of the singer: in
de capo the artist can then display
her art in embelIlshing variations !:
then there must be an allegro aria
with brilliant passages. gallant aria.
a duet for the first male singer and
the prima donna. In these pieces the
big forms Of measure must be used
30 as to give pathos to the tragedy;
the smaller forms of time. such as
two-four and three-eight, are for the
secondary roles, and for these tenn
pa minuetto can be written. There
must be the necessary changes of
time. but minor keys must be avoided
in the theater. because they are too
mournful."
