iFOLICE INVESTIGATION ON
Twenty Sticks of Tovdei-' Under
Controller's Window Arouse
Suspicion of Plot
Knough dynamite to wreck the south side
of City Half and to topple over tlio 048
ttoot tower surmounted by 'William Penn's
statue wag found today In an nroaway on
!he south plaza, twelve feet below tlio street
surface.
The position of the explosive against the
side wall under the offices of City Con
troller 'Walton and near the bit; vaults of
the city treasury and the Uroad street sub
way excavation was. sufficient to causo a
rigid censorship to bo clamped down on
details of the discovery. That it was
placed there by some mystcrlou person with
evil Intent was the ueneral opinion of city
officials. An Investigation Is, under way.
Tlio find was made this morning by Na
thaniel Rambo. foreman of the cleaners.
Going on his usual rounds, he noted the
dynamite lying snug against the wall In
an areaway Just east of tho South Uroad
street entrance.
There were more thun twenty stick of
the "powder," weighing about three pounds.
No fuses or caps were found. It was said.
He took the dynamite to the office of Super
intendent of Maintenance Berry, who com
municated with tho police and ordered a
full report. In the mruntlmo every effort
was made to suppress news of the discovery.
Tho finding ot the dynamite, coming at a
tlmo when tho sensational "Moody l'lfth"
Ward murder conspiracy charges against
Mayor Smith and eight other city employes:
aro being aired In City Hall, caused no
little excitement among the hundreds of
city workers and others In the building
Examination of the spot where the
dynamite was found showed that it was
placed there with difficulty. There arc
only two means ot ingress Into the arca
way, one from the street above and the
other from City Hall. To enter It from the
south plaza, where It opens to the sky, a
man would bo compelled to climb the
spike-studded Iron railing and then drop
the twelve feet to the bottom, or use a
tape or ladder, there being no footholds on
the sheer granite walls that form tho open
air basement. The other means of co.v
rnunlcatlon with the areaway is through
the windows of the basement, which at
this point open Into the engine rooms of
City Hall. Under these windows tho cx
PIobIvo was found. Above are the offices
of the City Controller, nnd down the cor
ridor from the engine rooms nro the city
vaults.
A theory that the dynamite was brought
from tho Broad street subway excavation
by some workman who stole It was dis
counted when It was si, own that tho exca
vation, although within thirty-five feet ot
the place where tho dynamite was found,
does not conununleatc with the areaway.
It was further pointed out that no wr.Tk
man could have access to the engine rooms,
said to be the most probable avenue of ap
proach. PHYSICIAN SENT TO JAIL

other gunmen came running up."
"What do you mean by gunmen'."' asked

Mascia and Costello lie easily identified.
Up until 1 o'clock this afternoon almost
all of tho New York gunmen had been
Identified by numerous witnesses as hav
ing figured In the rioting at the Finletter

given by Policeman Schick, of the Third and
De !ancey streets station.
"Butch" Mascia was positively Identified
by Policeman Schick as running with a
revolver In his hand from tho spot where
Eppley was "shot,
Coroner's Physician Wadsworth, who per
formed the autopsy on Detective Eppley,
took the stand late this nfternoon. Tho
Commonwealth, through Doctor Wad.i
worth's testimony, seeks to repudiate the
statement made by attorney's representing
"Butch"' Mascia that It was a bullet fired
from a revolver not belonging to Mascia
that killed tho detective.
Three of the gunmen wcro positicly iden
tified as members of the "Deutsch blackjack
squad" that raided tho Finletter Club the
night before election by Constable Thomas
F. Greaves this afternoon. He was "not
qulto sure" of a fourth gunman, Mascia.
Thoso he was certain about were Burkhardt.
Costello and Falcone.
When he stepped
from the witness stand and went over to
where the gunmen were seated and pointed
to Burkhardt, "Whltey" waved his hand
nnd smiled In acknowledgment of the Identi
fication. Greaves cald that he was guarding the
door to a committee room at tho head of
the stairs on tho second floor when ho heard
a shot and cries of "murder." He rushed
to the stairs, whero ho saw the gunmen
and others he could not identify starting
up the stairs.
"One man had a gun and the others had
blackjacks," he said. "I pulled out a gun
and told them that if they came up the
stairs any further. I'd blow their heads off.
They went down ngaln."
Greaves said he did not know who had
the revolver. Magistrate Harrigan. he said,
was standing behind him and told him
not to shoot Into the mob.
After the blackjacking, he said, three or
four policemen In uniform and armed with
riot sticks came Into the club house, ar
rested Sergeant William J. Hogan, who
was badly beaten, nnd threw him (Greaves)
out, he testified.
He went to Seventh and Spruce streets
then, he said, and thero he saw City De
tective Coogan. He said he asked Coogan
why he didn't go down to the Finletter Club.
"It's too bad a mess for me," Greaves said
Coogan assured him.
Policeman Thomas J. Nihil!, who had
been sent to bring Sergeant Hogan from
his home to tho courtroom, was called. He
said that Doctor Owen, head police sur
geon, who was attending Sergeant Hogan,
had ordered Hogan not to leave his home,
where he has been confined to his bed since
the blackjacking,
Tho usual flutter of Interest was shown
when the seven "Frog Hollow" "strong-arm"
men, held on charges of murder, were
brought into court to be Identified by the
victims In the Finletter Club raid, and to
be held in readiness to testify. They are
"Butch" Sgueglla (Mascia), "Lefty" dl
Roma (Costello), "Jimmy the Flash" (Fal
cone), "Whltey" Burkhardt. "Mike" Den
nehy, "Straight Louis" Brunelii and
"Muggsy" Smith. Sgueglla, who was ar
rested here with Dl Roma, Is the man who
killed Eppley.
A New York attorney, William G. Kler.
who represents several of the men, arrived
here today and hurried to the courtroom.
He declared that he would remain in this.
city until tne proceeatngg nave oeen con
cluded. "I am here to protect the Interests of my
clients," he said, when asked for a state
ment "I don't Intend to see them rail
roaded to the electric- chair or to prison.
They are entitled to as much ot a chance
as the other defendants are In this case."
Kler displayed an Interest In his clients
In court, coming down the aisle and com
plaining to Judge Brown that he had not
been allowed to see them. Judge Brown re
plied that, he knew ot no objection to Kler'
conferring with the prisoners at the con

HALF-PRICED THEATRE
TICKETS FOR SAILORS
Bank at Navy Yard Also
Planned, It Is Announced at
City Club "Long Table"
Plans for a bank for sailors nt the Plilla
dolphin. Navy Ynrd nnd for the sale ot
theatre tlckfs to enlisted men nt half
price were nnnounced at tho "long table
luncheon" at the City Club, Broad street
below Spruce, this afternoon. The nrrangc
ments have not been completed, but aro
expected to bo shortly.
Curtis II. Dickens, United Stntes navy
chaplain nt the Philadelphia Navy Yard,
said the bank will bo established ns soon
as possible In ono Of the recreation build
ings being constructed In tho yard with
funds given by Phlladelphlans. It will bo
n boon to tho men, ho said. Heretofore
tho men liavo been unable to havo their
inonev cared for except by depositing it
with the paymaster. This many would not
do. because they could not get It until their
enlistments expired and they didn't want
their funds tied up. The bank will give
them nil the benefits and- privileges any
bnnk depositor has and will encourago
saving.
Robert D. Drlpps. of -the Committee of
Public Safety, said arrangements soon will
ho completed to have all the theatres sell
tickets to enlisted men nt halt price. Some
theatres, ho said, offered to give tickets to
enlisted men, but the men do not like this
Idea, which savors of treating them llko
objects of charity. Therefore the com
promise Is being arranged. Mr. Drlpps said
Philadelphia Is opening Ha arms to tho en
listed men, taking them Into Its homes, but
is neglecting the officers. It should treat
them likewise, he said.
J. D. Sutherland, Philadelphia representa
tive of tho National War Work Council of
the Young Men's Christian Association, said
tlin council has already provided five recrea
tion places for soldiers and seventv-two for
sailors He said the council owed much
io Edward B'k for the gift of a swimming
pool at the Nnvy Yard.
