HAS PLOT EVIDENCE
Woman Finds Note Which Indicates
Explosion Was Planned.

TRENTON N. J., April 11.-Evi-
dence which Is now looked upon as
conclusive proof that the explosion
at the Eddystone munitions plant
yesterday was the result of a plot has
been furnished by Mrs. Annie Keat-
ing, of 1l3 Cleveland avenue. this
city. Government authorities are in
vestigating the information furnish
ed by the woman, and the arrest OF
the men Implicated is expected.
On March II, while en- route from
this city to Pottsville, Pa, Mrs. Keat-
ing was standing in the Broad street
station, at Philadelphia, when she
saw a man carrying two heavy suit
cases drop an envelope. She picked 1t
up, but the man was lost in the
crowd.
On the train to Pottsville Mrs.
Keating opened the envelope, which
was not sealed, in order to learn the
name or address of the owner, and
was surprised to f1nd evidences of
plot to blow up the Eddystone plant,
and other data which led her to be-
lieve that the envelope had been acci-
dentally dropped by q conspirator
against the United States Govern
ment.
In the envelope was letter ad-
dressed to an. k" In which the writer
said:

Wilson today summoned Congress
man Lever, chairman of the House

WANAMAKER RADIO
OFFERED TO NATION
Outfits of New York and Phila-

ice of U. S.

NEW YORK. April n.-Rodman
wanamaker yesterday announced.
through the Aero club Of America, that
the wireless stations on the wanamaker
buildings In New York and Philadelphia
are at the disposal Of the Government
for war use. The offer was made
through Alan R Hawley, president of
the Aero Club. to Rear Admiral Ma
thaniel R Usher. commandant Of the
New York Navy Yard. and included the
services Of the present staff Of opera
tors and the full mechanical and en-
gineering forces Of both stores.
The announcement follows Mr.. Wan
amaker's gift Of a $4,000 air cruiser Of
the super-America type similar to that
which he had built last summer to at
tempt the first transatlantic flight. and
equipped with radio. rapid fire guns and
trained pilot and observer. The two
wireless stations are in perfect contii-
ton, having been used regularly for
commercial purposes until last Satur-
day. when they were sealed by Govern
ment orders. Their location on top Of
the two Wanamaker buildings gives
them considerable clearance above
surrounding structures and this, with
their long radius Of sending and re-
ceiving power Is believed to make them
valuable adtuncts to the three official
stations now in operation for the feet
and for communication with submarine
chasers OF the coast
Mr.. Wanamal1er would be very much
pleased II, instead OF leaving them idle,
you would either equip them with your
men or the ones he has been using.
and use them as regular Government
stations" the offer explains. IF you
should decide to do this. every facility
and courtesy will be shown your opera
tors and officials and in addition the
Wanamaker engineering and mechani-
cal forces in both stores will always be
at your instant service"
Both the Wanamaker stations have
been ordered dismantled.
One thousand amateur and COM
mercial wireless stations in New
York have been located by the police
department and ordered to dismantle,
according to a report that Commits
sioner Arthur Woods forwarded yes
terday to Rear Admiral Usher. OF
these the greater part have been put
out of commission by their owners,
following Navy Department orders of
a few days ago. The rest will be
watched closely by the police, and II
their owners show an inclination to
disobey the order word will be sent
to the navy yard, which will result
