In grandmother's day, from 1880 to
1870, according to your own age and
the consequent age of your grand
mother, many little trifies which she
called "conceits" were INDUCED in.
Among them was the habit of wearing
black velvet ribbon with long ends
tied about the throat and one on each
wrist. Sometimes these were relieved
with bands of tiny roses. All the vani-

Fire Commissioner Robert Adamson
issued a warning yesterday to all per-
sons who may handle boxes Of explo-
sives which are being brought TO the
shores of Manhattan on the tide from
Black Tom, the scene of the explosion
early Sunday morning. He declared
he had received reports of children tam
pering with boxes of smokeless powder,
which were washed ashore, not know
ing what 1t was.
"Great danger lies in the careless
handling Of explosives that have hoated
to Manhattan Island and are still being
washed up b. the tide" said the Com
missioner. ave have received reports
Of children tampering with metal-lined
boxes of stuff that looks like dirty
brown spaghetti, but is really smoke

partments are doing their best, in close
cooperation, 20 prevent series OF
small accidents following yesterdays

public is earnestly solicited. Persons
along the waterfront finding packages,

Bureau of Explosives
Blames Barge Owners

An all day investigation yesterday
into the causes of the Black Tom eX-
plosion conducted by the Beaureau OF
Explosives, Is Church Street, under
the auspices Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, found no blame to
be placed on other than the owner Of
the barge which stood by the pier dur
ing the night. SO far as the first days
inquiry determined, Theodore B. John
son, president of the Johnson Lighter
age and Towing Company, II Battery
Place, is guilty of allowing the barge
to stand where it should not have been
under the regulations.
W. S. Topping, assistant chief in
spector of the Bureau of Explosives,
said last night that apparently fire
which began upon the barge was re-
sponsble for the outburst. Yesterdays
work of the bureau found no intima-
ton of incendiary origin. Mr.. Topping
said, however, that there might be
some responsibility placed upon the
Lehigh Valley Company later If fur
Their investigation showed that it was
unlawfully keeping too many cars Of
explosives on rs tracks on the main
land. The National Storage Company,
whose plant was entirely destroyed by
the explosions, was exonerated.
In the Bureau of Explosives there
will be consultation of Bureau and
l. c. c. experts this morning, and fur
Their queries made as to the cause;
According to plans now on foot it will
take two or three days 70 complete the
work. after which a complete report
will be made public.

ATTORNEYS SEEK NEW
TRIAL FOR STIELOW
Discuss Case of Man Justice
Saved from Chair.

Attorneys interested in obtaining a
new trial for Charles Stielow, whose
execution at Sing Sing was stayed for
the fifth time Saturday by Justice Guy,
held a conference yesterday in the Of
fee of James W. Osborne, TO discuss
plans for perfecting their application
for a new trial
There were present besides Mr.. Os-
borne, Mrs. Inez Milholland Boisseyaln
and Stuart VI. Kohn. counsel for the
outside branch OF the Mutual Welfare
League of Sing Sing.
The motion for a new trial on the
ground that new evidence had been dis
covered, was the only move LETT after
Governor Whitman had refused to in
tervene. This new evidence, the law
yers assert, will prove that Stielow Is
innocent and will also reveal the real
murderer. The application in the
Steiiow case is returnable on August
%, before a justice of the Supreme
Court in Rochester.

Hamill favored putting a stop to the
segregation of large quantities OF high
explosives in dangerous proximity TO
residential and business districts By
dealing with the practice as public
nuisance.
Hudspeth was of much the same
opinion. The local authorities appreci-
ate that jurisdiction may Ice taken out
OF their hands by the Interstate Com
mercc Commission, but they propose TO
make fight on the ground that no rule
OF the Commission contemplates the
shipment and storage of explosives IN
such quantities and Of such nature as
have taken place because Of the war.
Tho rules Of the commission, they
say, were designed TO cover munition
shipments in the ordinary course OF
commerce. They will ask permission,
therefore, to deal with the shippers

Tho whole question Of jurisdiction

Ten great aeroplanes, munitioned
with bombs devised especially FOR
attacking submarines, will aid the Brit
ish cruisers in their efforts 60 destroy
the German U-liner Deutschland after
she leaves the Virginia Capes, officers
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard asserted
last night.
SO far have the plans of the British
government progressed. it is declared,
that the air craft are this morning
poised for fight on the decks of the
vessels that are constantly waiting
outside the Capes. They were con-
structed in Canada, and flew TO JOIN
their monitors late last week.
The British plan of vigilance, Ameri-
can officers say. calls for fan-shaped
formation of cruisers, with its point
resting on the line that marks the
three-mile safety zone off the coast 90
the United States. The instant the
wireless message is flashed out TO sea
by British agents that the Deutschland
has departed, the aeroplanes VIII soar
into the air above their memberships,
commencing their search for the under
sea merchantmen.
Officers at the navy yard believe the
cooperation Of the ten aircraft can only
mark the Deutschland for certain de-
struction. One American officer VINO
himself circled over the Virginia Capes
q few weeks ago, asserted last night
that the waters of the bay are as clear
as crystal, that objects especially
+hose of any siZe-were visible to a
creat denth. and that with binoculars TO
