GIRL KILLED BY A BOMB
EXPLOSIVE SENT TO EMPLOYER
CAUSES HER DEATH.
New York Detectives Trying to Dis
cover Who Sent Dynamite That
Blew Her to Pieces.

Ida Anusewitz, IS years old, en-
ployed as confidential bookkeeper Of
the o. K. Bottling company Of New
York, was killed Friday by bomt
sent to her employers. Thomas Nc,
Cabe, managing salesman, was cut in
the head by flying metal, and Michael
Ryan, an employee standing outside
the Office, was injured by shattered
glass. The desk on which the bomb
was placed as Miss Anusewitz opened
it was demolished and the office was
wrecked.
The bomb was delivered by ex-
press. Apparently it contained dyna-
mite, as the force Of the explosion
was downward. Who sent the bomb
and why were questions that sent
half a hundred or more detectives
at work on every possible clue. On
the wrapper they found written
address-23 State street, New York
city. The building at this address is
large Office building, occupied chief
ly by exporting firms who employ a
number Of foreigners.
The bureau Of combustibles, work
ing on the mystery with the few bits
Of metal found in the floor and walls,
announced that the missile was Of
similar construction to the bomb sent
to Judge Rosalsky about two years
ago. Tie package containing the
bomb was addressed to the bottling
company in stencil. 1t was received
by McCabe, who placed it on the
girls desk.
The force OF the explosion wrecked
the room, shattering plate glass win
dows and tearing a jagged hole in
the floor. Inasmuch as the force
seemed to be downward the police
believed dynamite had been used.
Employees Of the company connected
the explosion with the alleged dis
charge recently Of thirty workmen by
William H. Callahan, the proprietor.
Callahan, however, denied having
discharged the workmen and told the
police that they were working with
him still. "To the best Of my knowl-
edge, I have no enemies" Callahan
said. The affair is mystery to me-"
Within an hour several squads Of
detectives were working on the case.
The remnants Of the package were
sent to the bureau Of combustib!es
for investigation. Upon the corner
of the package was stencilled the re-
turn address, ostensibly, of the send
er. 1t was % State street, New York.

It was made plain at the White

EXTENDS FARMERS TINE
SMITH GETS AMENDMENT TO
CURRENCY BILL.
Caucus Approves South Carolinian's
Provision to Meet Planters Need
for Long Time Loans.

Following the line of thought de-
veloped in his recent speech upon the
floor Of the Senate on the pending
currency bill, Senator Smith of South
Carolina Wednesday night In the
Democratic caucus insisted that the
farmers should have six months
note upon which federal reserve
notes might be issued. He continued
the fight Thursday, and succeeded in
securing a majority OF the Demo
cratic senators to back him up in his
fight in behalf Of an amendment to
| the currency bill which he has pre-.
pared and which is as follows:
"Provided, That notes, drafts and
bills drawn or issued for agricultural
purposes having maturity not ex-
ceeding six months may be discount
ed in an amount to be limited to a
percentage of the capital of the fed
eral reserve bank to be ascertained
and fixed by the federal reserve
board"
This amendment, which was adopt
ed by the caucus Thursday night, will
be offered upon the floor Of the Sen
ate and will be incorporated in the
new banking law. Senator Smith, of
course, is very much gratifed at the
outcome of his labors. Thursday
night he said:
"This amendment puts the farm
ers where thier business is recogniz-
ed as Of equal importance in the
financial system of the country with
the prime commercial papers Of other
business, such as the notes, drafts
and bills Of merchants, miners and
those Of the so-called business world.
Under the terms Of this provision,
farmers notes, bills and drafts, is
sued for agricultural purposes, are
available at the reserve, bank for a
note issue on the same footing as pro-
vided for 90-day paper.
"In other words, in a case Of
money stringency or panic threaten
ed, this paper can be used for deposit
with the regional bank and upon it
federal reserve notes may be issued
for the purpose Of meeting the emer-
gency. Thus you will see, 1t puts the
farmers notes, bills and drafts upon
exactly the same footing, as an asset
upon which capital may be realized
by the farmers, as the prime CONNER
cial paper Of the other branches Of
business in the financial world, and
for period of six months"
After the caucus adjourned, Sen
ator Oven, in charge Of the bill, said
that in accordance with the resolu-
ton submitted by Senator Smith and
his plea for it in the caucus that the
committee has now reconsidered sec
ton 13 and Will accept the amend
ment quoted above.

brown in complexion. Not one OF
them appears to be very much wor-
ried over his situation and as soon as
carried in to the Richmond county
Jail each went to sleep and was hard
to awaken for breakfast.
The Augusta Herald says the story
Of the crime for which the three ne
groes are held and the thrilling race
which the officers had across three
counties to get them out OF the reach
of mobs of outraged citizens is one OF
the most horrible and thrilling stories
ever heard in Augusta. The awful
crime was committed on a quiet Sun
day afternoon while the husband was
away and Mrs Irby was at her home
with her two little children. The
neighborhood had always been a
quiet and orderly one and the father
left his children and the husband his
wife without any thought OF impend-
ing danger. But the fends were
lurking near.
It was about 4 o'clock when the
black fends made their dastardly and
inexpressibly brutal attack on de.
fenceless woman who was in deli
cate condition and in no manner pre-
pared for a shock Of any kind. In
the horrible confession of George
Hart ne mentions nothing about Mr
Irhy owing them soc. Indeed, they
went to the house for an entirely
different purpose. They murdered
Mrs. Irby and assaulted her and left
and when the shades Of evening hac
fallen and the husband and father
came home he found that instead o.
the usual cheerful fire there were
only a few live Goals left and the
house was dark. The necks of such
iends should be cracked as soon a:
possible.
All Three Confess.
The Augusta Chronicle Of Wednes
day said martial law was declared of
in Waynesboro Tuesday morning
about 4 o'clock; the militia, by it
prompt action, kept the forming mol
away from the Burke county jai
even after the three negro prisoner
had been spirited away; one OF thu
most intensely exciting nights in th'
history Of Burke county had passed
and entire quietude followed. Tues
day the town was normal.
William and George Hart and Rob
ert Paschall, the three murderers o
young Mrs. Jefferson 1rby, nea
Wrens, are in the Richmond count,
Jail; have confessed the crime, AM
are beyond the possible reach of al
intensely impassioned public cover
ing more than the territory Of tw'
counties.
In most unthinkable details tn
negroes have told story of bestial
ity and blood-thirst; twice denyin
their confessions and later going int
the minute particulars of the trag
edy in the presence of witnesses.
Essentially. the details of the stor
as told Tuesday morning conform t
the confessions Of the negroes, eS
cept that the later word picture ad
horror to it all. Mrs. Irby's brain
were battered out by the three ne
sroes. each taking his turn with tn
axe. after which she was abused an
finally her throat was slashed with
butcher knife by one of the Hart NJ
groes.

Facts of the Case.

Editor RegiSter-In the SharpSburg
news items OF your valued issue OF Au-
gust 18th, statement was made that
Col. d. W. Graham was notified by
Harry Breckenridge, Acting Secretary OF
War, August |, 1913, that he Col. Ora
ham was discharged as superintendent
of the Antietam Battlefield, and his pay
ceased May 3, 1913"
Now, Col. Graham resigned TO date on
day before Uuly 81, 1913, and being a
lawyer OF forty years standing, having le-
gally resigned civil office held under
Special act of Congress, not under civil
service, unquestionably knows that an
ex post facto discharge, like an ex post
facto law, is imperative, null and void.
And the accounting officers OF the U. ).
Treasury adjust all pay accounts, where
any controversy arises, between an offl-
Ger ard any department. And no cabinet
officer can arbitrarily Tx any time or pay
contrary to law OF Congress. He is too
much OF warrior and loo good lawyer
to get nervous over the far-tetched state
mentS OF the alleged seer OF Cemetery
Hill, and is not in suspense as to final
settlement OF his pay. He kept the clean
est and incest battlefield OF any Superin-
tendent on duty there since it was COM
pleted.
The bunch OF six in Sharpsburg and one
in Washington fighting Col. Graham will
learn the truth OF Ophelia'S philosophy
ere long, that "Slts in the face cause more
trouble than Sits in the Dress" and that
they can learn from another axiom, don't
kick becuz you got a sore iow." The
mills grind slow, but fine. W.

WITHIN the past few weeks there have
been printed some interesting articles
concerning the approaching trial OF Gra-
ham Wilson, who is in jail in Charles
Town on the charge OF committing a ter
rible crime against respected lady OF
that place. Ii is asserted that an attempt
will be made 10 transfer the trial OF the
case to another county, on the ground
that Wilson will not be able TO get fair
trial in Jefferson. We have never heard
any iustiiiable grounds for this belief
on the contrary, we think that he is more
likely to receive justice here Than else
where. This, however, is matter Tor
the court to determine, and it will be de-
cided at the proper time in the proper
way. There is one feature OF the case,
however, that does need discussion, and
that is the charge that politics will play a
prominent part in the affair. 1t is no
secret that well-known politicians have
been making extraordinary efforts TO in
iluenCe prospective jurors and that press
ure will be used, if possible, to carry their
point. Public sentiment does resent this
alleged interference with the adminiStra-
ton OF Justice, and the people should be
on the alert TO prevent any attempt to do
wrong or thwart fair play. 1t is fortunate
that we have on this circuit just Judge,
who can be depended upon 10 be fair and
impartial and who will cheCkmate any at
tempt to defeat proper administration OF
the law.

Communicated.

Editor Register-One Of the many signs
OF advancing civilization is the elimination
OF unnecessary noises, such as the ring
ing OF church bells at unSeemly hours in
the morning and the blowing of locomo-
tive and factory whistles in cities and
towns. Judging by this standard, our
town is rather retrograding, for locomo-
tive whistles Screech necessarily from the
north end OF the railroad bridge TO the
water tank, when few short blasts while
approaching the town would give sutfi-
Gent warning. One would-be facetiouS
engine driver initiates the beating OF
kettle. drum in blowing his whistle.
Probably the worst and least eXcusable
offender is the whistle at the ice factory.
Four times in the "a hours it emits a
long drawn out Screech which might well
be likened TO the wall of lost soul, and
all without any reason, for at 7 a. m. and
o. m. the men are on hand ready for
work, and at II m. and 6 p. m. they
are we'll on their way home before the
wall ends and peaceful and long-Suffering
citizens can take their hands from their
ears. Can't something be done to stop
this noise ? Ii has long since grown to
be an intolerable nuisance to the public
and most prolific incentive to profanity.
