FIRENIEN FIND BLAZE
IN STH STREET FORGE
Automobilist Entangled in Crush of
Apparatus Near Chestnut Street

An automobilst made an earnest effort
last night to keep out Of the way of the
fire apparatus at Sth and Chestnut streets
and succeeded in getting into the midst of
jam" while fremen hunted for a blaze
at 107 South Sth street.
The motorcar driver turned into Sth street
at Chestnut about midnight when he heard
the changing of fire autos. He chose a cozy
place on the east side of the street and
stopped to let the apparatus rush by. A
man, evidently watchman, came out from
No 1O7 and remarked politely, please go
away"
"Why?" queried the driver of the auto.
1--WE pulled in here to get out of the way
of the apparatus"
THE apparatus is going to stop here"
was the response And 1t did.
The watchman, having shooed the auto
out of the way, requested the fire appara-
tus to come into the curb. He also sug-
gested with a gesture to the building, that
the fremen "lools in there"
They pulled the fire escape down and
began looking" But they couldn't find
any fire except in a forge in one Of the
rooms that had been throwing off smoke,
and that solved the mystery of the watch
mans perturbation.

DYNAMITE EPLOTBARED
by EXPLOSION ON P. R. R.
TRACKS NEAR ALTOONA
Discharge After Local Train
Passes Bellwood-8S Sticks
Found Along the
! Line
TRAFFIC HALTED AN HOUR
Investigators Believe Time Fuse Was
Attached by Conspirators-No
Clue to Them

ALTOONA, Pa, July IA dynamite
plot, the object of which may have been
10 blow up a passenger train, was disclosed
last night when a heavy charge exploded on
the Pennsylvania Railroad main line, just
west of Bellwood seven miles east of here,
few minutes after Altoona local No 669
passed that point. A second explosion
followed.
officers and employees were rushed TO the
scene to make an investigation They
found ss sticks of dynamite, eight sticks
to charge. distributed along four main
line tracks at the water troughs, where
locomotives take water on the fly"
1t was at first believed the dynamite had
yfallen from passing train. but the manner
IN which the sticks we're scattered to-
sether with the fact that the dynamite
which exploded had been in large quantities
led the officers to the conclusion that 1t was
the result of a carefully laid plot.
i All trains we're halted for an hour or
more until the track and roadbed could
be inspected to make sure that all of the
explosive had been found. At 30 the line
was opened, but only one train was moved
at time.
While the officers have not determined
the exact manner in which the dynamite
was placed, they are satisfied that time
fuse had been attached to the sticks which
exploded, which indicates a criminal con-
spiracy. A great hole was torn in the
roadbed and all the tracks were slightly
damaged.
1t is reported that two women were seen
passing along the railroad half an hour
before the explosion occurred.
While the Pennsylvania's representatives
were still investigating tho explosion on
the main line, another explosion occurred
at Bellwood. A charge of dynamite had
been placed on the air reservoir of pas
senger coach standing so yards from the
station. The windows of the coach were
shattered and a large hole torn in the floor
Of the car. A second coach standing nearby
was also damaged as was the Belwood
division inspectors office.
No clues have been discovered to tho
perpetrators of the dynamite conspiracy.
