He talked to every one In Jenklntown who would listen, em bellishing the talc each time. But the Jenklntownltes would not come across. They did not express any sympathy for John.

When he saw the nature of the piece ot metal In his hand ho aulckly pinched thn burning end of the fuse and prevented nn ex plosion.

POOLROOM RAIDED BROWN'S WARD Police Head Sent to Clean Up Fifteenth Warns "Pull" Will Not Protect bomb there meant it for some 'one else, perhaps mistaking my car for a taxi, I cannot believe that I have any enemies thnt would attempt a thing like that" SUSPECT DRUG POISONING Sailor Dies In Hospital After Be coming III on Street - Norman Pnsson, thirty-lve years old, 827 Bace street, believed to be n sailor on a foreign ship which arrived here yesterday, died last night as the result of narcotic poisoning. Passon complained of feeling ill nnd was taken to the, Ilnliuemann Hospital In the patrol of the Eleventh nnd Winter streets station. Ills condition rapidly grew worse and he died several hours after being ndmitted. Physicians diagnosed the case as nlcohollsm, but said they believed tlio man had been under the effect of some narcotic such as heroin or opium. When the mnn's clothes were suniclied two small bottles, containing a white pow der, fell from his pockets. A challenge was hurled today by Lieutenant Grant Marple n'. the ban dits, gamblers and vice traffickers In the Fifteenth ward, where President Judge Brown, of the Municipal Court, is the political leader. The challenge followed a quietly con ducted raid on a poolroom at Sixteenth and Wood streets last night. The place is described by Lieutenant Marple as "a rendezvous for crooks nncl thugs." Thirty "patrons" were driven from the place and a police quarantine was es tablished. The lieutenant recently wns asslxaed to command the Twentieth nnd Button -wood streets station, with orders to clean up the Fifteenth ward, covering the area from Vine street to Poplar, and from Broad street to the Schuyl kill river. Tlio clean-up order was one of Mayor Mooro's first moves in his war on the Brown -Yare-Cunningham combination. The Mayor, in a stralght-from-the-shoulder talk with Marple, told him to do police duty only, and to pay no at tention to politicians of high or low degree. "I am going to keep the poolroom closed," declared Lieutenant Marple today. "Several hold-ups which oc curred on the Parkway can be traced to that place. "The raid last night is only a be ginning. All proprietors of poolrooms where suspicious characters gather have been warned they canuot do busi ness in the district," he continued.
