tee voted $50 and this money was used
for the purchase of the explosive, the
police said. Harrison is the local. S
business agent, Herlihy its financial
secretary and Murine it's general secre-
tary, the police asserted.
Captain Tunney said the $50 was
part of the collections which strikers
have been taking up in the streets
when they appeared with hand organs
and applied for funds. In this way
the appropriation was kept off the
locals books as the money did not
come from the organizations regular
funds.
The dynamite was taken last month
from Kenvil to Newark, according to
the confession and packed in the suit
case and transported in a taxicab to
this city. 1t was carried uptown on
the subway. There was no one on
the station platform when the man
carrying it alighted, the confession
said, and a fuse was set which burned
two and half minutes, giving the
dynamiters a chance to get to the
street before the explosive went off
two minutes after train carrying pas
sengers had left the station. The men
escaped into Central Park and it was
in climbing over wall that one of the
men dropped the dynamite which fur
nished the clue.

going to look for the man later was
unable to find any trace Of him. Real
izing the danger in this section at

MAY CARRY u S. MAIL
Washington, Nov. 3-If the agents
Of the German merchant submarine

available for carrying mail to Ger
many the post office department will
be so notified in a formal commune
cation from the German embassy.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, has asked the. agents to
inform him on the subject The post
office department already has declar-
ed it's willingness to accept pro-
posal to establish a regular undersea
mail service.
The embassy's plans for the es-
tablishment Of this service are pro-
crossing notwithstanding statements
made in New London yesterday by
DR.. George Ahrens, an attache who
inferred that it was unlikely that the
Deutschland would carry United
States mail. No explanation Of the
attaches statements was offered to-
day at the embassy.
Embassy officials said that none but
official mail pouches were brought
over on the Deutschland. Clerks to-
day were sorting this and many Off
cial dispatches were being deciphered.
The embassy had believed that a
quantity of regular first class mail
would come on the submarine, hav-
ing been informed before the vessel
left Bremen on Oct. 1 that some was
being prepared for dispatch. 1t is
presumed by embassy officials that
through some delay the mails failed to
reach the Deutschland on time.
