Nov. 14. —A bomb some what similar in construction to the one that wrecked the entrance to the Bronx county courthouse last Wednes day night was found to-day In the Tombs courtroom, just under the dis trict attorney's offices, occupied by Governor-elect Whitman. The room was crowded. The bomb contained gunpowder, slugs and bullets. Its fuse was partly burned. George L. O'Connor, a policeman, saw smoke from the burning fuse of the bomb, ran to the spot, picked it lip, torn off the fuse and carried the bomb from the courtroom. Four men were sitting on the bench in the rear of the courtroom where the bomb was found. The bomb contained explosive enough, it was estimated, to have wrecked the building. As O'Connor stripped the sputtering fuse from the bomb the courtroom was thrown Into an uproar. Approximately fifty persons were in the room await ing the arrival of Magistrate Campbell to open court. It is believed that hi 3 arrival was the signal to fire the fuse. Made of an Oil Can Examination showed that the bomb was made of a five-pound oil can and that it was filled with guncotton, slugs and bullets. It was wrapped up in a Jewish daily newspaper tightly bound with wrapping cord. Magistrate Campbell said he had no idea who would seek to take his life unless It were the writer or writers of threatening letters he had received during the recent trial of Industrial Workers of the World leaders at which he presided. The police believed the bomb was left in the courtroom by the same band of anarchists that tired the bomb Wednesday night at the Bronx county courthouse and last month exploded bombs fn St. Patrick's Cathedral and at the Church of St. Alphonsus. The police recalled that Frank Tannen baum and his Industrial Workers of the World entered St. Alphonsus Church during their demonstrations last year, as a result of which Tan nenbaum was sent to jail..

By Associated Prets New York, Nov. 14. —Rumors of dis aster to the British superdreadnought Audacious, which have persisted ever since the White Star liner Olympic, which left her course, arrived at Gougli Swilly on October 29, are confirmed in mail advices received to-day by the Association Press from a point in Ire land. After a career of less than two years the Audacious, of the King George V class—third in tonnage and armament of his majesty's warships—lies at the bottom of the ocean off the north coast of Ireland. She wns hit by a tor pedo or disabled by a mine just before 9 o'clock on the morning of October 27. With the possible exception of one or two men the whole crew of 800 was rescued by small boats from the Olympic. The rescue was made in a rough sea through brilliant and daring seaman ship on the part of the White Star crew. Heard l>y Operator The battleship's cry for assistance was caught by the wireless operator of the Olympic, which was only about three miles distant. The steamer rushed forward at full speed while her crew made ready for their work. Vol unteers were called for and double the number necessary to man the lifeboats i responded. The crippled battleship j was reached a few minutes after 9 I o'clock and before noon all but 100 of her men had been transferred. After taking off all the officers and | crew who would leave the ship Cap | tain Haddock, of the Olympic, turned I his attention to an attempt to save the I warship. A cable was given her, but lit snapped as it tightened. Meantime | the bulkheads began to give way and it was soon apparent that it would lie impossible to tow the ship or keep her afloat. The cruiser Liverpool and sev eral other warships which had come up stood by. Late in the afternoon it wat decided to abandon the Audacious and the officers and men who had re mained aboard reluctantly left her. The flotilla of rescue Hhips oontlnued to stand by, however, until 9 o'clock r CRUISERS LEAVE VALPARAISO Valparaiso, Chile, Nov. 14.—The German cruisers Leip zig and Dresden which came into this port yesterday morn ing and spent the day in taking on provisions, sailed away ; i th: -;icrning at daybreak.

N AUDACIOUS, BRITAIN'S GREATEST LOSS New York, Nov. 14.—The destruction of the Au- 1 d vioi!- ! the most r.eriot: .ingle loss sustained by the British navy since the opening of hostilities. Only a few British warships out rank her in size and fighting equip ment. The Audacious had a displacement of 24,000 tons and was 596 feet in length. Her armament consisted.of ten 13.5-inch guns, sixteen 4-inch guns, four 3-pounders and three 21-inch torpedo tubes. f MARRIAGE LICENSES ~, Carlton Ilo>le Harmon, I .Sarah Helen Snydfr, both of Hirrfibltg, Peter Buehennuer, anil A*l Vtllant, of gteelton. Helarlcb I'rlxhkorn, and l.lulc Seban, of Steeltotß. • POSTSCRIPT that evening-, when a terrific explosion occurred on board, and the Audacious plunged stern first and In a moment had disappeared. The explosion is supposed to have been caused by shells set loose by the listing of the battleship. A bit of armor plate torn from the sinking ship struck the deck of the Liverpool, cut ting the legs from under a gunner. The man died in a short time. The Audacious met her fate twenty five miles off the Irish coast, which the Olympic was skirting. The liner sailed from New York for Glasgow on Octo ber 1. She had been warned that there were German mines off Tory Island and fear of these mines was the official explanation when she unexpectedly put Into Lough Swilly. . The Olympic's pas sengers saw the flash of the explosion and watched the mighty warrior sink. Then their ship turned her prow toward Lough Swilly. Small craft cleared the route to make sure it was free of mines. From October 27 to November 2 the Olympic lay at Lough Swilly, during which time no one but naval officers were allowed to board her. An immediate investigation of the loss of the battleship was begun. Charles M. Schwab was the only pas senger who left the Olympic before it docked at Belfast on November 2. Schwab Went to London Vice-Admiral Sir John D. Jellicoc, commander of the fleet, visited the scene of the disaster November 1 and it was with him that Mr. Schwab went to London. Even officers of the White Star Line were not permitted to board the Olym | pic at Lough Swilly and ail supplies were taken aboard by men of the navy. After the steamer entered Belfast har bor one of the waiters on board was arrested, charged with being a spy and detained for examination. Secrecy regarding the loss of the Audacious was enjoined upon the crew and passengers of the Olympic, who were urged to refrain from discussing the naval tragedy which they had wit nessed pending a complete investi gation.
