When ambition and talent clash, talent
most always comes out victorious. h

the tools go to her that can use them. Z
Women hould not grievc because others
go ahead of them in some particular d.

New York, Nov. 16.-A bomb, some
that wrecked the entrance to the Bronx
county court house. last Wednesday
night. was found today in the Tombs
court room just under the district at
torley's offices, occupied by Governor
Elect Whitman. The room was crowd
ed. The bomb contained gun powder,
slugs and bullets. It's fuse was partly
burned.
George L. O'Connor, a policeman
saw smoke from the burning fuse of
the bomb. ran to the spot. tore off the
fuse and carried the bomb from the
court room. The bomb contained ex-
plosives enough, it was estimated, to
have wrecked the building.
Approximately. so persons We're in
the room, awaiting the arrival of Mag
istrate Campbell. to open court. 1t is
believed his arrival was the signal to
fire the fuse.
The bomb was wrapped up In a Jew
ism daily newspaper. tightly bound with
wrapping cord.
Magistrate Campbell said that he
had no idea who would seek to take
his life. unless it We're the writer or
writer's of threatening letters he had
received during the recent trial of In
dustrial Workers of the World leaders,
at which he presided.
The police believed the bomb was
placed by the same band OF anarchists
that fired the bomb Wednesday night
at the Bronx county court house, and
last month exploded bombs in St. Pat
rick's cathedral and at the church OF
st. Aiphonsus. The police recalled that
Frank Tannenbaum and his Industrial
Workers OF the World entered st. Al
phonsus church during their demon
strations last year, as q result of which
.Tannenbaum was sen to jail.

Held Prisoners All Night and Have
Not Yet Reached Home.
With the windows in the coaches
smashed by a falling tree, the wind
blowing forty-ive miles an hour, and
with the fires under the engine drawn
to prevent a possible explosion, thirty
six passengers passed a night OF suf.
fering on a stalled train on the North
east Pennsylvania railroad between
Ivyland and townsville, Pa, on sun
day night.
They were rescued and taken to
Ivyland Monday. One passenger got
through" TO Hatboro on Tuesday by
bucking the drifts on foot. He says
the other passengers are still ma
rooned at Ivyland, about fifteen miles
from Philadelphia.
Thirty passengers on a northbound
train on the same division, stalled
near the same point, were rescued
from the train after being held prison
ers all of Sunday night. They are now
at two farm houses near Ivyland.
The southbound train, confronted by
steadily increasing drifts, bucked drift
after drift, with little success. The
fallen tree was encountered, and the
outsprung limbs smashed windows in
each car. After dark the train was
stalled between townsville and Ivy
land.
The snow swirled into the cars
through the broken windows. The
passengers tried to keep out the cold
by piling the plush seats against the
smashed windows. Then their suffer
ings weer increased because it was
necessary to draw the fires in the en-
CINE to prevent a possible explosion.
It was Monday morning before the
passengers were rescued and taken TO
Ivyland.
Gordon B. Anderson, Of the Univer
sity Of Pennsylvania, determined to
get through He battled over three
and one-half miles OF snOw-clogged
highways to HatbOrO. He reached
there almost exhausted, and told Chief
Burgess Penrose Robinson of the bad
plight of his party. After resting he
started on foot for the six miles yet
intervening between Hatboro and
Glenside. 1t was the only method left
to him, for both trolley and train ser.
vice were demoralized, although train
service from Glenside to Philadelphia
was possible.
The passengers on the northbound
train, stalled between Ivyland and
townsville, spent a terrifying night in
the cars, getting what sleep was pos
sible by lying on the seats. Some time
Monday morning they we're rescued
by trainmen and farmers of the sec
tion, who dug through the drifts. The
women and children were taken to
the farmhouse Of John Raab and the
men to the home Of Alfred Yerkes.
Hatboro, Ivyland, townsville, BOnaiI
and other communities along the line
of the Northeast Branch to points as
far distant as New Hope and even
Willow Grove and Crestmont, in the
Old York BROAD section, were removed
from outside affairs.
