BOMB OUTRAGE
FO|LED By POLICE
Anarchists Had Planned 10 Kill
Many Wealthy Men.
REIGN OF TERROR FOR CITY
Assassination OF Andrew Carnegie,
John D. Rockefeller and His Son
and Cornelius Vanderbilt
Part OF Plot.

New York.-An era OF bloodshed and
lawlessness which the police say,
anticipated the assassination of John
d. Rockefeller and his son, Andrew
Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt and
other rich New Workers, and the raid.
ing of numerous banks, was sti1ed at
its birth by the Detective Bureau
when about o'clock a lighted bomb
was extinguished in ST. Patrick's Cath
edral at Fiftieth street and Fifth
avenue.
Seven hundred people were attend
ing at early mass at the time. Another
bomb, unlighted, was discovered i'm
Immediately afterwarG on the nort-l
side of the church, ready to blow to
pieces any one who unwitingly
touched it with his foot.
Arrests Dramatic.
There were intensely dramatic
scenes when the detective, who had
been shadowing a gang of anarchists
for three weeks, arrested three men,
one Of them a detective in the con
fidence OF the bomb-makers, charged
with the plot to devastate the Cath
edral and kill its occupants.
The nipping Of this anarchist plot
was accomplished by detective work
along the old-time melodramatic lines.
Captain Tunney of the Detective Bu-
reau directed the plot and a dozen de-
tectives worked on 1t for months.
So carefully had the police worked
out their plans that the anarchist was
even allowed to light the fuse OF one
of the bombs which he carried into the
cathedral despite the fact that the ex-
plosives were powerful enough to have
badly damaged the edifice and possibly
killed many in it, Scarcely had the
bomb carrier ignited the fuse when
one of half a hundred disguised de-
tectives, who we're stationed in and
about the church, crushed the sputter.
ing thread under his heel and in an
other moment the plotter was taken
into custody just as he was about to
light the fuse of the other destructive
instrument.
Organized For outlawry.
1t was part of the plot, the police
assert, for gangs of men armed wit
rifles and revolvers to appear stimuli
taneously in various parts of the city
to shoot and pillage the biggest banks
of New York city were to be blown
up and many wealthy men were to be
slain.
The wrecking Of the Cathedral was
to be the signal for the opening Of the
elaborate campaign Of murder and
looting. The next move, according tc
the police. was to place bombs in the
homes of Andrew Carnegie, the Rocke
fellers and Cornelius Vanderbilt. SC
far had the plot progressed toward this
end that the manufacture of the
bombs, the police say, had already
been started.
With these and other capitalists dis
posed OF, the anarchists planned, ac
cording to the police, to invade the
financial district and lay their bombs
in the city's biggest banks. Genera
looting was to follow.

S|XTY,THIRD
CONGRESS-, ENDS
Two Supply Bills and Other Big
Measures Fail.
A RUSH AT The CLOSE
No Extra Session At Least Till oc-
tober-Pf esident At Capitol To
Sign Last Legislative
Fruits.

Washington on-After two years OF al
most continuous session the Sixty
third Congress, which revised the tariff
and the currency system Of the nation.
supplemented the trust laws, created
an income tax and demonstrated the
first popular election of United States
senators. ended at noon March 4.
When gavels fell in the House and
Senate signalizing adjournment. they
marked tie close of half of President
Wilson's administration, the first under
domination Of the Democratic party
since 1895. Strenuous scenes enlivened
the fading hours. devoted chiefly to
completing the appropriations. for sub
sistence Of the Government.
Important measures, the Postofiice
and Indian Supply bills, failed in the
hnal legislative crush after desperate
efforts had been made to save them.
In the emergency occasioned by their
failure joint resolutions were passed
and signed by the President continu
ing in force appropriations for the
present year.
While tired Senators and Represen-
tatives were devoting their energies
to final essentials, President Wilson
spent more than an hour in his room
at the Capital, surrounded by members
of his Cabinet, signing the last fruits
of legislation.
In the closing hours, President viii
son signed the Seamans bill, the neu-
trality resolution empowering him to
prevent ships leaving American ports
with supplies for belligerent warshlps,
promoted Colonel Goethals to be a
major-general for his services as build
er of the Panama Canal and gave
promotions to other officers associated
with the work.
Many important Bills Failed.
Besides the Government Ship Pur.
chase bill, important measures which
were forced over until another time in
cluded the Philippine enlarged Self
Government bill, rural credit legisla
ton. the bin to prohibit interstate com
merce in goods manufactured by child
labor and the conservation bills. A
resolution which contemplated an in
vestigation into Senatorial campaigns
in Pennsylvania, Illinois and other
States, and which had been recon-
mended by a Senate committee, also
| failed.
Little General Legislation.
Very little general legislation is ear
ried in the appropriation bills. Much
was proposed, but most Of the meas
ures were practically cleared Of sucf
provisions by points of order. The
Postofiice bill, which failed to pass
contained more new legislation thar
any other.

GERMAN LOSS PUT AT 100000.
Paris Makes This Estimate From
Casualties In Ten Regiments.


Paris.-An official note issued by
the French press bureau declares that
the German losses since the beginning
of hostilities In killed, wounded, sick
and prisoners reaches the enormous
total of 100000 men. This calcula-
ton is based on the known casualties
in 10 German regiments.
Analysis of the German losses dur
ing FIVE months in 10 regiments taken
from army corps on both the eastern
and western German fronts shows
total of 36,2S1 officers and soldiers;
that is. an average per regiment of 725
monthly" says TIE note.
Applying this percentage of losses to
the entire German Army, including the
landwehr, landstrum, new formations
and marines, the deduction is made
that the total German losses during
the seven months of the war must ex
ceed 100000.
