MASKED MEN FO|LED IN
EFFORT To WRECK PLANT
Tampa Power House Saved by
One EmpIoye Against
Is MarauderS

TAMPA, Fla, Aug. 17.-Eighteen
masked men made an unsuccessful at
tempt to destroy the power plant of
the Tampa Electric company on the
HilIsboro river, six miles north of here.
at o'clock this morning, according to
information received by the police de-
partment
The men held up Waterman d. Z. Fol-
som and four other employees at the
point of guns and after tying th9n hand
and foot, set fire to the plant One of
the employees succeeded in releasing
himself and escaped. When the mask
ed party left the building he returned
and put out the blaze. He had just re
leased his fellow workers when the
masked meH returned and threatened 20
shoot him. He got away, reached a teIa-
Lhone and called the authorities.
Telephone wires to both the plant
and nearby houses were cut, and it was
impossible to reach the city before 4
q. m.
Deputy Sheriff Woodward and a corps
CT deputies from the sheriff's office left
for the plant as soon as the first call
was received in automobiles. but are
said to have found no trace of the men
whose identity is unknown.
According to the sheriffs office, the
plant was not damaged materially.
None Of the company officials would
make a statement this morning, but pc
lice officials believe the attempted de-
struetion of the plant was due to high
waters back of the dam inundating farm
lands.
The company's dam has twice been
destroyed for this reason. it is said, the
last time in 1899, since when it has been
closely guarded Farmers at one time
took-the matter of damage to their lands
into COURT but got such small verdicts.
it is said, they threatened to take the
law into their own hands,
j. c. Woodsome, general manager of
the Tampa Electric company, does not
believe the attack came from men who
wished to destroy the dam because Of
high water, and is at a loss to account
for it. He points out that no attempt
was made on the dam, though they had
full sway for more than an hour. The
men saturated a bale of hay with gaso-
line, placed it near the power house.
and set fire to it. 1t was wired tight
and did not burn readily, merely smOul-
dering.
Woodsome says the company owns
nearly all the land that might be sub
ject to inundation from the dam and
has expressed a Willingness to buy the
rest He claims there had been no high
water.

Gus William Fox masterpiece,
"Carmen". The celebrated act.
ress Theda Bara, has the title
role in this play and no expense
has been spared t o bring the
production to the acme of pertec-
tion. The story of the play is
we'll known, having been produc-
ed on the legitimate stage and
published in novel form. Raoul
A. Walsh who produced the mo-

sed both the novelist and the
dramatist. J'heda Bara, the act

costumes and scenery of old Spain
