Filipinos In some parts Of the

DYNAMITE IS FOUND

Charge ready For Explos-

New York, Aug. "A deadly
charge of dynamite-three whole 10
inch sticks and two halves with a
fuse and detonator-was discovered
this afternoon near Mayor Gaynors
office windows in the city hall. The
bureau of combustibles found that
the explosive was 40 per cent dyna-

The mayor was in his office when
the dynamite was discovered by a
citizen passing through the City Hall
Park. Mr.. Gaynor evinced little in

proximity. and remained apparently
undisturbed at his desk while police
officers hurriedly drew Gordon
about the dynamite to keep back an
excited crowd.
Mr.. Gaynor frequently receives
letters, but tonight he
would make no statement regarding
the possible connection between any
previous threat by mail and the dyna
mite OF today. 1t is just three years
ago this month that he was shot in
the neck by a so-called crank and
so a1ly wounded that for several
days it was feared he would die.
The dynamite found todASlkAays--ou
a basement door in the concrete moai
or areaway, within so feet OF the
mayors window.
The explosive was arranged in a
lattice formation with the two small
pieces on top. A partly burned four
inch fuse, made of guDpOwder, led
to a detOnating cap on one of the
hsa.f-sticks.
| Close to the explosive was piece
of Chinese punk and several partly
burned matches. The dynamite anC
fuse were wrapped in a piece of hea
cambric, secured by red and blue
twine. The cloth was blue with rec
and white figures. and resembles the
fillets worn by Italian women Of thu
working class.
