WOULD CENSOR SHOWS
And Ask that Curfew Ordinance Be
Enforced

The absorbing question that for the
past month has been quietly agitated
in the women's club circles of the city
reached public expression at the
meeting of the city council last Friday
evening, when the following petition
was presented:
Realizing that the ideals and morals
of the young people of the city of Rocky
Ford are being lowered, and believing
that the vaudeville and moving pictures
are in a degree responsible for the con-
dition, we the undersigned, do hereby
petition the council to appoint board
to regulate or abolish the vaudeville
and censor the moving pictures.
We also request that the curfew or
dinance be enforced to the extent that
young people, unattended, be not al
lowed to loiter on the streets after the
curfew hour"
The petition was signed by 10
women and two men, and action upon
it was deferred until the next meeting,
as some of the aldermen were in doubt
whether they could abrogate to board
the right to abolish vaudeville in a
licensed theater

Henry Lawrence Bell. well known In

Boulevard. Baysde. l.. l., was yesterday
served with papers In suit for damages
Of $500 started by Mrs Mary T. Merchant
OF Lawrence Boulevard, Bayside, wife OF
Huntington w Merchant. a lawyer with
killing OF dog. In her complaint Mrs.
Merchant sets forth that the defendant
the plaintiffs neighbor. Intentionally, mali
ciously and wantonly did cause to be
injured the dog owned by the plaintiff
80 as to cause Its destruction"
II appears that Mr.. Bell had been com
planning for several weeks about dogs
interfering with his chickens Mrs. Mer-
chant was the owner of three collcs until
Ave days ago. when one of them a puppy
seven months old. came home so badly
wounded by a bullet as to make its killing
necessary for humanitarian reasons
That little baby collie Prince we called
him in the household, was as harmless a IS
a kitten" said Mrs. Merchant yesterday
land how anybody could have shot him
Is more than / can conceive. My children
are intensely grieved over poor Princes
death They have been in tears constantly
since his death. Besides Prince was a
very valuable dog"
Mr.. Bell will file his answer within few
days. 1t Is understood he will plead that
the dog was caught chasing fancy chickens
on his estate, and that, moreover, the sno,
was not fired on his property. The Mcr
chants say they will call the attention or
the S. I. c. A. to the matter.

sequel to The Bronx bomb out
rage came yesterday afternoon when
Miss Ethel Edwards. 49, of 31l East
1Ssth street brought a carefully wrapped
package the size Of a brick into the
Bronx Park police station. She carried It
eingerly and told Lieut. Carter that she
mad found 1t on her dresser, and as
she had recently rejected a sutor, she
believed II WAS a bomb
Lieut. Carter told her that he had
no jurisdiction over unexpoded bombs
and referred her 10 the Bronx detective
bureau I'm l5Sth street Miss Edwards
did not want to take the package in a
car and expose others 10 the danger, so
she walked down, holding it at arms
length in front of her,
Lieut. Monahan, hearing her story,
detailed two detectives to investigate
They cut tho string carefully, gave It
time to cool and then poked off the cover.
There was no explosion except from
Miss Edwards. The box contained candy

Emma Goldman. Publisher.

Emma Goldman, Publisher.
At the Office OF the Mother Earth Publ
cation Association, now at "a West 18th
street, IL was said that nothing was known
OF such "A pamphlet Emma Goldman is
publisher and Alexander Berkman Is
editor Of Mother Earth. Miss Goldman -
said to be IN Chicago and Berkman is in
Pittsburg. whittier he went with the an
nounced intention OF lecturlng on the an
niversary of his shooting OF Henry Frick
In spite OF their absence the meeting
in Forward Hall to celebrate the ami
versary of the execution OF the Hay
market rioters was a lively one and
Harry Kelly, who with Leonard Abbott
shoudered the burden of speechmaking,
waved rhetorical red flag as vigorously
as Berkman might have. At the office
OF Mother Earth it was said:
we do hold the church responsible
Tor tho execution OF Francisco Ferrer,
and We hold the courts responsible for
the Haymarket executions The one was
church murder; the other judicial muir
der"
Before the fragments OF the pamphlet
were found the police held the belief that
the explosion had been intended to in1ure
or intimidate County Judge Louis D.
Gibbs who was holding "A late session IN
the court at the time and whose severe
sentences OF men convicted OF being white
slavers have brought him many threat
ening letters. And even after the PAM
phlet had directed attention TO the anarch-
list colony of Paterson the detectives were
still inclined to follow up the first theory,
since one of the letters received by the
Judge last June during the trial OF Fran
cisco Nachalotti, known as leader OF
the white slaVers read:
IF you believe the evidence OF per-
1ured witnesses you will meet the same
fate as King Humbert OF Italy"
hlns Humbert met his death by an
anarchist bomb and the pamphlet con-
tained reference to his assassin.
Judge Gibbs, who sat in court as usual
yesterday. said that while he did not
like to think that the bomb had been in
tended for him he feared IL might have
been. But II will not stop me from
going right ahead with the white slave
cases" he added.
Men in Automobile.
The bomb twisted the heavy bronze
pillar at the left OF the main entrance
from its place, Clipped the pedestal above
the door upon which Is a figure OF Jus
tice and shattered the bronze grill work
at either side OF the entrance. The dam
age Is estimated at several thousand dol
lars. Catherine and Lillian Flynn of
3195 Third avenue who were knocked
down and slightly hurt by the explosion
told the detectives that just before the
bomb went of they saw an automobile
standing near the court house. As they
gained their feet after the explosion. the
girls said, they saw several men Jump
into the auto, which went at speed down
Third avenue.
Another witness or the explosion was
A Robinson, a real estate dealer, Of sS7
East 165th street, who was standing In
front OF cigar store across the street
from the court house when the bomb
let 60, At that moment, he said, he saw
small automobile pass the entrance to
the court house, and through tho cloud
OF smoke that followed the explosion he
saw man run and jump into the car.

WITNESSES TELL OF
MEN IN AUTOMOBILE

An anarchist and not white SLAYER
placed the bomb which on Wednesday
night damaged the portico OF the new
Bronx Court House and slightly injured
four persons. This is the theory of the
police. who after finding among the
debris fragments OF an anarchist publica-
tion isssed shortly after Czolgosz shot
President Mckinley. decided that the
bomb probably came from the same
source as those that were exploded in St.
Patricks Cathedral and at the rsctory of
St Alphonsuss Church on the anniversary
of the execution of Francisco Ferrer,
October ~. Inspector owen of the bureau
of combustbles said that the bomb that
damaged the court house was of similar
construction to those exploded at the
churches
After finding and piecinG together tho
fragments OF the pamphlet the detectives
recalled that Wednesday was the twenty
seventh anniversary of the execution OF
the Haymafket rioters at Chicago and
that there We're meetings at Forward
Hall Wednesday night in Commemoration
Of the death OF the Chicago Martyrs"
Thd: was the title OF the pamphlet.
which was printed in Spanish. When 1t
was pieccd together In the office of Capt
Wines Of The Bronx detective bureau the
pamphlet was found TO contain an appeal
for vengeance AGAINST those who brought
the Hdymarket leaders 70 the gallows.
Capt. Wines recalled that such a
pamphlet printed in spanish. German and
Italian, had been issued by LHuroco
Club OF Paterson and sent to the Mother
Edrth, the anarchist publication, then in
East Thirteenth street. for distribution.
The pamphlet was evidently brought out
or reprinted with additions much later
than the executions In Chicago, which
took place on November II, 1887, for 1t
contained a reference TO Czolgosz. 1t was
said by the detectives that the publication
was widely distributed at the very time
that the country was clamoring for the
wiping out OF the "Reds' following the
assassination of President Mckinley.
