ALLEGED DYNAMlrER CAUGHT.
M. A. Schmidt, Involved in Los Angeles
EXPLOSION, Captured.


| New York, Feb. 15.--Matthew A..
Schmidt, "a years old, was arrested here
| Saturday night as fugitive from
justice an an indictment found in Los
Angeles in October. 1910, charging him
with having been implicated in dyna-
hitting the Los Angeles Times building.
| The arrest was made on upper Broad
| way. where detectives had traced HIM
after search of four years.
Detective William j. Burns. who ac-
companied the officer making the ar
-est said the Indictment charges that
Schmidt was one of several men who
went with j. B. Mcnamara to the works
of the Giant Powder Company in Cali
fornia, and purchased 1000 pounds Of
| dynamite.
Schmidt was held in magistrates
court on short affidavit, without BAIL
until Feb. "a, to await extradition.
When arraigned before Magistrate
, McQuade the prisoner said he was a
mechanic, "a years old, but refused to
answer the other customary questions
After the arraignment, however, the
magistrate said the man had confessed
to him in his chambers that he was
Matthew A. Schmidt, as alleged in the
Los Angeles indictment.
| Detective Burns stated that the ar
] rest Of Schmidt was the outgrowth of
, an investigation into a bomb explosion
which occurred in a siX-story flat
house on Lexington avenue, in this
city, on July of last year, and which
killed three persons, injured others
and partly wrecked the building. De-
tectives who examined the premises
became convinced that the bomb used
was of the same type as that used in
blowing up the Los Angeles Times
building and similar to those placed at
the home of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis,
owner of the Times and of the secre-
tary of the manufacturers association.
The Investigators soon struck a trail,
which was followed and led to the ar
rest Of Schmidt.
The three men charged with pur-
chasing the dynamite from the Giant
Powder Company were J. b. McNa-
mara, NJ. A. Schmidt and David Cap
Ian. A worldwide search was made
| for McNamara's associates and their
capture was enormously reported on
! many occasions. Until the arrest here
both had eluded arrest.

URGES TANGO FOR SCHOOLS.
Principal Believes such instruction
Would Build Up Attendance

Instruction in the tango, fox trot,
and other modern Dances and the
teaching Of the multiplication table
from to %, instead of the time-hon-
ored - comprise two interesting ex-
periments that will be tried out in the
Atlantic City public schools. The
change in the methods of teaching the
multiplication table was Mayor Rid
dies idea, and was not adopted without
protest. Three of the nine members
voted against it, one of them charac-
terizing the innovation as absurd nom
sense
Spencer NJ. Bennett, physical direc-
tor Of the resorts schools, suggested
that the Introduction Of dancing for
at least one night in the week would
be Of great benefit to the evening
schools. No definits action was taken
on this innovation, but that it will be
adopted eventually is considered GER
