BRIDGEPORT GETS
 PART OF FSTAMF0 ORD DYNAMITE BLOW-UP
Contractor Believes Prowler Was Blown to Atoms in Destruction of Mag
 azine.

Bridgeport in common with the country radiating from Stamford for many miles, received a shock a few minutes after o'clock last night when 250 pounds of dynamite exploded in a. storehouse in Stamford.
 Contractor John James, whose store house blew up believes that a thief was the unsnspecting cause of the dis aster, for only a few weeks ago he discovered traces of the work of providers about the magazine.
 If the theory Of James is correct, the man was reduced to atoms, for not a. trace of a human body was found in the debris. The hut-hke structure where the dynamite was lodged was shattered to bits. Not a piece Of board as large as a. shingle remained.
 So severe was the shock that large trees near the hut were blown out of the ground Not a splinter of the hut remained. Where it srood there is a deep hole.
 The James horne was badly dam aged, Not a window pane was left; the clustering on ceiling and walls was shaken down and one door was blown in.
 The home of Elon Weaver a. quar- ter mile away, was damaged even more. Not only windows and plaster ing were broken and doors blown in, but the rocking of the house caused a lamp to turn over in the kitchen and fire followed. The flames were put out, but five rooms in the house were so badly damaged they were made uninhabitable.
 Heavy damage was done also at the home of Mrs. M. A. Free. whose large hothouse was wrecked. Hardly one whole pane was left.
 The explosion occurred when the op- era house, one and a quarter miles away was crowded The building trenbIed and windows rattIed- Many of those in the theatre thought there was an earthquake.
 Persons living near the place of the explosion ran from their homes and remained on the streets until they learned the cause of the jar.
 MT. James thinks one man at least was killed in the explosion. He said:
 ssAnd that man was a thief! There is no doubt in my mind that fhe ex- lpIosion was caused by the same thief who tried a, week ago to steal dyna- mite from the house. On his hist trip the locks were to A|rong and he could not get i'm I believe he tried tSN Nget in again tonight and in some way tSuah- ed off the dynamite .''
 The police examined the hole and the immediate vicinity, but if a man was killed his body undoubtedly was blown to atoms.

DEATH
 SELF INFLICTED

The death of William A. Stedman wealthy New York cotton broker, who was found dying at his home on Sat uFday. was due to suicide. This is tn finding of Coroner John J. Phelan afs ter a rigid examination into the cir cumstances attending his last mo ments. Nine physicians who had at tended him during the past few months testified to his peculiar Inelan ehoIia-
 It was the belief of physicians tha' Stedman wal insane when he Strucl himself.
 q think it was positive case Q. suicide. satd Coroner Phelan las. night. and that MT. .Stedman,s mint was deranged. His family and biasi. ness relations were perfect and he ha no enemies so far as I could learn Mrs. Stedman was thoroughly COT vinced that her husband committed suicide
 Coroner Phelan today said that while the case of Stedman presented one of the most strange suicides which had been recorded here for some time, every scintilla. of evidence showed conclusivelg that the act had been dorfe with his own hand
 It was ascertained that while a, blow upon the head Of a mentally normal man ordinarily would drive him into such insensilbiIity that he would be unable to inflict further wounds. pfay- sicians had testified that in the cas- of man insane as, was Stedman pain would be du1led and consequent ly he could attempt further vioIencs upon himself
 The evidence showed that Stedma ' had struck himself fne first blew probably in the open space of the eel lar, and had temporarily stunned him self Later he had apparently re gained his feet and dragged hi1neel to partially sitting posture in tlss rear of the apartment, where hiding behind a. sleigh he had drivers smal silver penknife through the brain tjs- sue to it's hiIt and to such a deptf that 1t was hidden to view until h. was placed upon an operating table It was further ascerta1ned that wher found by a trained nurse Stedman wai still partly conscious.
 Exoneration Of the family retainer. from any complicity in the act result ed from the fact that there had never been any quar1.els between employers and employed and the short length o1 time e1apsing between the descent into the cellar of Stedman and the discov- cry by the butler.

 BE FINE AFFAIR

The general sentiment last year at Ihe close of the Knights of Columbus ball seemed to be that it had sur passed anything of similar nature ever given under the auspices of the local chapter However, the commit tee appointed to arrange for this years affair are not willing that that record should stand and they are bending every effort to make the com ing function to be held in the ballroom of the StratfieId on the evening Of
 Monday, February 23, one long to be remembered in the local annals of CoIunabianism
 As is the usual custom, an invita- tion has been extended to Mayor Cliff ford B. Wilson to enjoy the hospitality of the local Knights. The members Of
 Philip Sheridan Assembly, the local division Of the Fourth Degree. will also attend.
 The Strat1eld ballroom offers an ideal place for those attending who

MOTORMAN WAS NOT THE
 FIRST TO SEE JOTTREY

Further circumstances of the death of Fred Pottrey are coming to light today under the probe by Coroner John J. Phelan. It was ascertained this morning that the conductor upon the first car from Westport was not the man to first discover the injured man lying in the roadway.
 The discovery as far as can now be learned wass first made by Julius Mil Ter. an employe Of the Bridgeport Pub lie Market, who lives in the district adjoining Southport and who while waiting for the car to bring him to Bridgeport saw the inert form in the middle of the roadway.
 When the ear came along he dis closed his find to Daniel O'Brien, the conductor and together they tele- phoned for aid which finally resulted in the bringing of Jottrey to the hos pital in this city where he died.
 It is expected that the testimony of Miller before the coroner will be i'm teresting as it will disclose the exact position in which the body lay as the mist lifted in the early hours of the dawn.
