    : Desks in the portion of ‘the Bullitt
building receiving the brunt of the
| shock, were broken into splinters.
| Glass partitions and windows were
- smashed into thousands of pieces, and
, everywhere could be seen the demoli-
| tion from the bomb thrower’s dastard-
' ly act. Clerks who had been at work
. were thrown to the floor, and several
. have been made temporarily deaf by
| the roar that shook the building, and
. was heard for squares around. More
than $20,000 in notes and currency
were scattered about the floor and se-
curities blown to remote corners of the
Assailant and Cashier Killed and
Many Others Injured.
WAS REFUSED LOAN OF 85000
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 7.—With the
finding of the personal effects of the
bank, but all were recovered with the
exception of one small note, which
President Rushton said could be easily
replaced.
The small counter over which the
bomb thrower had been leaning was
wrested from its fastenings and the
man who threw the bomb in the Fourth
Street National Bank on Saturday,
when refused a loan of $5000, killing
Cashier W. Z. McLear and himself,
there is little doubt left in the minds
of the police officials that he was Rollo
Steele, of Garner, Ia.
The dead are: William K. McLear,
cashier; Rollo Steele, the bomb throw-
er.
The injured are: Thomas B. Rutter,
discount clerk, fractured skull, con-
cussion of the brain and lacerations
of the face; Willlam Crump, colored,
messenger for President Rushton, hor-
ribly mangled by fragments of bomb,
eyes partially blown out, scalp nearly
torn off and chest and arms badly cut; '
William A. McAney, lacerated face and
scalp; Miss Julia Brady, cut about
face and hands; Frank Laboe, lacerat-
ed ear; Harper Mercer, slightly cut
about face and neck; William Wright,
scalp wounds; Harry Beck, lacerated
scalp; Eugene MclIlhone, ruptured ear
drum and laceration of face and scaip;
Angelo F. Dominici, shock and contu-
sions; C. R. Horton, head cut; J. T
Albert Hosbach, badly cut about face;
Halburt Smith, lacerated arms; Ar-
thur McNichol, cut about head and
face; Jay McNichol, cuts of face and
arms; Albert Troebler, lacerations of
face and ear nearly torn off; Horace
Kriebel, cut about fac eand neck; Rob-
ert Robertson, thrown to the floor by
force of the explosion and severely
shocked; W. D. McAleer, contusions
and cuts of face and scalp.
The bomb thrower was found to
have slept Friday night at the Grant
House, a hostelry on the outskirts of
the Tenderloin, frequented mostly by
respectable working people. The man
registered as J. R. Steele, of New York.
He arrived at the hotel about 7 o'clock
on Friday night and engaged a 50-cent
room. He carried a grip, which he
refused to allow the colored porter to
carry to the room.
When detectives searched the room
they found several yards of slow fuse,
a number of detonating caps, a revol-
ver, box of cartridges in the grip, to-
gether with a number of tools and
some clothing. There was a suit bear-
ing the tag of a Chicago clothing
house, and a pair of overalls marked
with the name of a Liyachburg, Va.
merchant. There was also a way bill
for a box shipped over the Southern :
railway.
It is probable that none of those
hurt by the explosion will die.
William J. Crump, the negro mes-
senger in the bank and body guard of
President Richard H. Rushton, of the
institution, who is the most seriously
injured, was operated on. His condi- |
tion was such a few hours after the
explosion that he was reported dead,
but he rallied, and the physicians op-
erated in an effort to save his eye-
sight, though his eyes will never re-
gain their normal condition.
Crump was visited after the opera- |
tion by his brother, Thomas, of Rich-
mond, Va., through whom he gave an
interview. He said that his recollec- |
tion of what occurred coincides with |
the statement that was made by Pres-
ident Rushton regarding the affair, ex-
cept that when he started to escort the '
bomb thrower out of President Rush- '
ton’s office he walked him past Cash-
fer McLear's desk. Crump says the
man was apparently making for the
door, and he permitted him to go on
alone. When the messenger turned to !
go back into Mr. Rushton's office he
saw that Steele had stepped back to '
McLear's desk, It was then that Crump
remarked to Mr. Rushton: “That is a
persistent man.” He says he started
toward Steele when the explosion oc-
curred. He remembers nothing more.
Mr. McLear was sitting at his desk
when the bomb exploded. The force
of the explosion picked him bodily
from his chair, hurling him over the
top of it into the rear of the office.
His face and trunk were mashed into
a pulp almost past recognition. His
arms were torn from his frame, and
only his legs showed no effects of the
explosion. Seated near him were two
of his assistants, but both miraculous-
ly escaped with only a few slight in-
juries, while several feet away was
Mr. Rutter, whose skull is fractured
and his life practically despaired of.
splinters. huried against him, dismem-
bered his body, tearing it into shreds
and hurling it with great force in ev-
ery direction. The two legs were torn
apart, the arms broken and the flesh
cut into ribbons, the torso mashed into
a jelly and cast against broken pieces
of iron grating, and portions of the
skull scattered over the entire recep-
tion room. A shovel was used to col-
lect the scattered pieces.
‘ NEGRO SOLDIER ARRESTED
Corporal of 25th Infantry Charged
with Assault On Captain Macklin.
Fort Keno, Okla., Jan. 8.—The find-
ing of a khaki jacket, one sleeve of
which was covered with blood and
punctured, presumably by a bullet, led
to the arrest of Corporal Knowles, of
the 25th infantry (colored) on the
charge of murderously assaulting Cap-
tain Edgar B. Macklin on the night of
December 21. When arrested the negro
officer was found to have a severe
flesh wound in the wrist, which he is
said to have been treating himself for
more than three weeks. The wound in
the wrist is declared to have been in-
flicted by the same size bullet as went
through the sleeve of the jacket, which
bore Knowles’ initials.
The jacket which led to Knowles’
arrest was found near the fort on Sun-
day by two boys on the trail taken by
bloodhounds that followed the scent of
Macklin's assailant. Knowles refuses
to talk, and Major Penrose, command-
ing officer at Fort Reno, refuses to
give any information concerning the
arrest.
JOHN D. TO GIVE $3,000,000 MORE
Fund to Pension Professors of Uni.
versity of Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 8. — Announcement
was made by the trustees of the Uni-
versity of Chicago that John D. Rocke-
feller would soon endow the Univer-
sity of Chicago with $3,000,000 to
| maintain a fund for superannuated
| professors of the institution. The ex:
clusion of the University of Chicago,
because it is a denominational school,
from sharing in the $10,000,000 Carne-
| gle pension fund, is said to be re.
sponsible for Mr. Rockefeller's de-
cision to create a pension fund for the
University of Chicago.
Phonetic Spelling Turned Down.
Butler, Pa., Jan. 5.—The Roosevelt
spelling reform was turned down by
the Butler County Teachers’ Institute,
By unanimous vote the teachers held
that the formation of good spelling is
. better than .he too radical reformation
recently advocated, and that “we still
teach spelling in the orthodox way.”
The teachers’ pension measure was in-
dorsed and the demand made for an
increase of at least 50 per cent. in the
state appropriation for the public
gchools.
Lung Testing Device Killed Him.
i Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 6.—James C.
Zimmerman, aged 22 years, a Philadel-
phia & Reading fireman, died at the
| Harrisburg hospital from paralysis
caused by the frequent use of a luung-
| testing device to test his strength.

Murdered During a2 Quarrel.
Mahanoy City, Pa., Jan. 8.—Alex.
Sabina, of Morea, was shot throuh the
heart and killed by John Sabina, fol-
lowing a quarrel at that settlement.
The murderer escaped.
