Held in Prison.


Pittsburgh, Oct. 4.--Florian Eel
cnko who was arrested here with a
quantity of dynamite, percussion caps
and fuse in his suitcase was sent
back to city prison from the Office
of the Department of Justice, where
he was closely questioned regarding
his movements for the past several
months. The questioning, Depart
ment of Justice agent said, would
be resumed tomorrow.
Meantime government agents in
Logan county, West Virginia, and in
Cincinnati were tracing Zelenko's
movements in order to see whether
they agree with the story he ahd
told during the afternoon. Zelenko
who was reported by Leon konkel
to the police as having referred
TO the Wall street explosion while
they were riding from Cincinnati
to Pittsburgh yesterday told the fed
eral agents that on the day OF the
explosion he was working as tailor
in Brooklyn.
Soon afterwards Zelenko told the
agents he obtained employment with
a coal company at Whitman, Logan
county, West Virginia, and left New
York, September "a, for that place.
After working a few days as coal
loader, he went to Cincinnati; from
there he came to Pittsburgh. At
Whitman, he said, he bought the
explosives for use in his work, as
other miners did, and having it on
hand when he quit, he took it with
| him.
Claims to Be Pole.
Federal agents also endeavored to
confirm a statement by Zelenko that
during the war he had been employed
as a laborer on concrete work at
Nitro, a suburb of Charleston, w.
Va, where the government began
The erection of an explosive plant.
This work, Zelenko told the agents,
he had abandoned because ii was too
hard for him.
Zelenko is a Pole who, according
to his story, came to this country in
1914. He speaks enough English
to be understood.
The dynamite found in Zelenko's
suitcase was turned over to the
Pittsburgh station of the bureau of
mines where engineers pronounced
it the kind ordinarily used in mining
operations.

dim, un1pAalthy light slipped from the
small paned windows across the
court, staining the snow: Robinson
and Rawlins were probably searching
again.
Suddenly Katherine stopped. She
pointed.

She relaxed and they walked on.
They entered the court. There she
turned. and Bobby stopped, too, with
a sudden fear. For the thing he had
called q shadow was moving. He
stared at it with a hypnotic belief
that the Cedars was at last disclos-
ing its supernatural secret. He knew
it could be no illusion, since Kath-
crime swAyed, half-fainting, against
him. The moving shadow assumed
the shape of stout figure, slightly
bent at the shoulders. "A pipe pro-
truded from the bearded mouth. One
hand waved a careless welcome.
Bobby's first instinct was to cry
out, to command this old man they
had seen buried that day to return
to his grave. For there wasn't the
slightest doubt. The unhealthy can

full on the gray and wrinkled face

Griffith Wants His

Clarke Griffith, manager OF the

base paths this season and one Of
tho four let the cat out OF the bag

complex and more costly affair. In
1904. the first year the republicans

convention arrangements cost $40 900.
