TELEGRAM THE CLUE
IN EDDYSTONE PROBE
"The'Explosion Occurred Today,
, Our Bnch Safe," Read Mes
sage Sent to New York
tt
A telegram announcing "The exvloslon
occurred today our bunch Is sife," Is the
Clue be'ng followed up by Federal, State
tnd local authorities who nre Investigating
the explosion nt the Kddystone Ammunition
Corporation's plant, when 138 men and
girls ucre killed.
A Air. Myem, of New York, received the
telegram, which was signed by a foreigner.
The telegraph ftperator who receled-lt for
transmission from 1'ddystone did not .at
flptt to.illif. llitt ulnnl(lintina nf lli univl
- 4 "the" that started the message Instead of
me woru .n wnicn wouiu nave Dcen xne
' natural manner of expression.
It gradually dawned upon him, however,
that the message hail been worded as
though the explosion had been awaited by
t Myers, and he nt once drew attention of
f " tile authorities to the matter. A copy of
, the telegram was given to Coroner Drewes,
and N'cw York detectives began following
out the clue.
.The telegraph operator has been trying to
recall tha Identity of tho sender of tho tele
tram, without success.
Authorities at Chester and Kddystone are
attempting also to And connection between
the arrest of two men In PIttsbuign, one of
whom Is a high official In a. munitions plant,
nd the explosion a the likldystone plant.
Although the identity of the two men ar
rested has not been divulged by 'Govern
ment agents, who made the arrest In ritts
fcurgh late yesterday, facts known to In
vestigators seem to point to a definite con
nection with a "plot."
It also became known today that a for
tlgner working in the "Old F" building,
which was the plant wrecked, had $500 In
fojd on the day of the explosion. Discov
ery of several $lvgold pieces In tho ruins
has caused detectives to trace his outside
movements previous to the explosion, and
strengthens the theory that men outside
planned the affair, which was later en
gineered from the inside of the plant.
Captain Wllhelm, vice president and gen
eral manager of the corporation, after
working out a plan with his superintend
ents "by which employes will be protected,
aid today that he would remain silent until

BLIND men nnd women, many of
whom have always been blind
nnd never saw tho national colors,
today took part in flag-raisine exer
cises 'at the Pennsylvania Working
men's Home for the Blind, Thirty
sixth and Lancaster avenue.
Many of them felt the flag before

said, as did George Summerficld,
"I'd like to see what it looks like."
Besides the ninety-five men of the
home there were also present boys
from tho Overbrook School for the
Blind, a delegation from the Indus
trial Home for Blind Women, Thirty

"We pledge 1000 brooms a tiny to

LAMP OF ALADDIN
' ILLUMINES CIRCUS
Colorful Pngennt Will Give Zest
to Bnrnum & Bailey Show
Week After .Next
Tho Bnrnum nnd Bailey circus, which will
bo here the week after next, nt Nineteenth
street nnd Hunting Pnrk nvenue, promises
n pageant of extraordinary beauty In color
ing nnd settings. "Aladdin nnd Ills Won
derful Lnmp'Ms the title of the new presen.
tntlon. It Is described ns a scries of beau
tiful tableaux illustrating the important
events In the llfo ot the poor Chinese boy
who gained possession of tho magic lamp,
nnd thereby command of the genie of limit
less gifts.
From Aladdin's first tub of the lamp to
the realization of his deslro to marry the
fairest princess of his land, the circus pa
geant pictures tho story. Tho wedding
scene Is presented In the center of the big
arena, where It enn be seen from cvciy
seat tinder tho big top. Preceding tho cere,
mony there Is n wedding procession lu
which more thnn 1000 men. women nnd chil
dren and fiOO nnlninln(wllt bo seen. The
costuming of the pageant Is described ns
being jnoro gorgeou than anything of tho
kind ever .attempted before. There nre 1.100
roxtumes 'made of silks, satins nnd brocades,
by Chinese workers. These ntc embellished
with hundreds of nrds of t'hlnt'so embroid
eries said to bo worthy of tho attention of
connolsseuis In art needlework.
The story of Aladdin Is tnken fiom the
tales of tho "Arabian Nights' nnd probably
It the bent known of all faliy stories. Its
possibilities for coloring ami spectncular
effects make It essentially n circus produc
tion, there being no stationary auditorium

been In preparation ever since, and every

Tho magnitude of tho imorntit nrodncttnn
takes nothing; from the program of event1!
in Rir, m nns, on platforms and In tha
hippodrome. To a greater extent than usual
theae event will make it necessary for the
visitor to the clrcua to use both eyes all of
the time and wish ho or she had more eyes
to grasp the whole of tho big entertainment.
Coal Miners Gain
Big Wage Increase
Continued from Pna Ono
that hope of a settlement was Impossible und
that the conference was u vvasto of time.
All agreed that If an advance In wages la
made tho consumer will bo forced to pay
moro for his coal. Several operators nn
nounced that coal dealers would find It Im
possible to supply coal nt tne, low summer
prices.
To facilitate progress the conference sub
committee made up of seven representatives
of the operators nnd seven of tho miners
was split today, forming n subcommittee
composed of three miners and three
operators. All others attending the Joint con
ference. which hns been In session at the
Bellovtic-Strntford since last Tuesday, ad
journed, leaving the subcommittee to thresh
out the demands of tho miners.
What the miners ask for. Is:
First. A wage Increase of 33 1-3 per cent.
Second. Abolition of tho check-off sstem,
whereby tho operators levy n S per cent
tax for collection of union dues.
Third Abolition of car-pushing, In which
the men push the empty cars Into tho mines.
Just what obstacles are In tho way of
a settlement could not be learned, as the

ANNOUNCEMENT
"OTWITHSTANDING the constant
increase in the cost of the materials
used in the construction" of our cars
and bodies, ever since the breaking out
of the European war we have steadfastly
refrained from increasing our selling
prices; in fact, in March,, 1915, we reduced
the list price of our chassis from $1850 to
$1650.
The European war has lasted beyond
all expectations, and with each succeed
ing month prices have gone higher. The
demand for raw materials has grown be
yond, normal bounds, stimulated first by
the needs of the Allied Powers and now
vastly augmented by the military demands
of our own country.
There is a marked shortage of ma
terials at rapidly increasing prices.
If this condition' continues, we will
find it 'absolutely necessary to increase,
without further notice, the prices of our
chassis, bodies and parts.
