k ‘men out and guarded every window BOMB WRECKS A BANK Man Throws an Explosive when Lean is Refused. ATTEMPT TO LOOT VAULTS Cashier Killed and Bomb Thrower Also Blown to Atoms by His Deadly Missile. Because his demand for $5,000 to be loaned on the pictures of relatives, was refused by President Rushton, Rello Steele, formerly a drug sales- man of Garner, lowa, threw a bomb in the president's office of the Fourth Street National bank, of Philadelphia, blowing the cashier, William Z. Mec- Lear, and himself to fragments, fatally injuring a negro porter, ser- iously injuring 16 persons, wrecking the bank, and creating a panic in the building and denscly settled neighbor- hood. Immediately after the explosion, there was a bold attempt of crocks to enter the bank and to get away with hundreds cf thousands of dollars which lay scattered about the floor. Before they cculd succeed, the un- injured employes and squads of police, rushing from the city kall and all the station houses nearby, drove these and entrance to the building. Laden with nitro-glycerin, the bomb exploded with such terrific fcree that partitions, desks, wooden walls and windows were reducel to splinters, iron bars were broken and twisted, and the bodies of those within a radius of 25 feet were torn terribly. The cashier's head was blown com- pletely from his shoulders. Of the bomb-thrower nothing was found except a small fragment of skull, swept clean of flesh; a pair of patched shoes and a bunch of keys with a nameplate attached. The name on the plate was ‘“R. Steele, Garner, Iowa.” Telegraphic reports from that town, which is near Des Moines, say he left there six years ago for Philadelphia. With the finding of the bomb tarower's valise in the obscure hotel, where he registered in Philadelphia, and the examination of the contents of the satchel, the police have radical- ly changed their theories accounting for the explosion of the Fourth Street National bank last Saturday morning that resulteed in the death of the assassin himself and the bank cashier | and the injury of 20 others. As was stated by the man who threw the bomb, or dropped it, his name proves to be Rollo Steele, who lived for years in Garner, Ia.,, and afterward in Chicago. But the mat- ter of sensational importance is the discovery that in his valise he carried electric and slow fuses, of the sort | used by miners and blasters, but cften pressed into service by burglars. RELIEF BEGINS IN CHINA | mination. Missionaries Head Work of Distribu- | tion—Government Helps. | Famine relief work in China, has] been started from three centers.

Zinat, Raisuli’'s stronghold, was virtually destroyed by fire and fell into the hands of the troops of the sultan after a shert and almost blood- less fight. Raisuli and his 700 followers suc- ceeded in eluding capture and reaching the mountains. There were no occupants of the town, except 15 prisoners, included among whom were four Portuguese. The firing of the gunners and infantry of the sultan’s force was almost useless. Cecnsider- able booty was obtained in the town. Family of Six Kiiled by Gas.

It is the belief that an entirely new company is to & formed to take over by an exchange of securities the Cambria and Penn- ARMY RECRUITS ARE FEW Lots of Work and Gocd Wages Keep Men From Enrlisting. Not in recent years, except in war times, has the army been so badly in need of men as at present. A recent circular addressed to all officers of the recruiting made public at the War Department, calls atten- tion to the fact that recruits are needed in large numbers for the coast artillery the field artillery, the white infantry and the white cavalry. Re- cruiting officers are enjoined to re- double their efforts to secure recruits qualified for the military service. Officers on duty at the War Depart- ment admit that the situation is one calling for the most extraordinary ef- forts to get more men, not only to fill the vacancies that now exist, but al- so whieh will occur during the pres- ent vear among the three-year men who enlisted in 1904. It is declared at the War Depart- service, ment that the present prosperity and | the labor famine of the country are | more or less responsible for the in-| ability to get new men and it also | was stated on account of the lack of | the canteen a great many men were refusing to re-enlist. Incidentally, it was stated at the department that an effort would be made to make army life more at- tractive and to impress the men with the idea that they are listed as =o0l- diers and not as laboring men. GOVERNOR'S SUGGESTIONS To Stop Insurance Abuses, Betting on Races, Etc. In his message to the Missouri Legislature, Governor Folk outlines legislation of a reform character which he urges the two houses to en- act. The following are the principal recommendations: The prohibition of rebating between insurance agents and policyholders; an act requiring life insurance eom- panies to distribute dividends annu- ally; an act prohibiting insurance companies from making political con- tributions; an act prchibiting insur- ance companies from paying an offi- cial more than $50,000 annually; the abolishment of railroad passes and the enactment of a two-cent a mile rate law; the enactment of a State primary law tending to deprive poli- tical bosses of power; prison punish- ment as a penalty for violation of the anti-trust laws; a maximum freight law and a State railroad rebate law; a law making it a felony to register a bet on a horse race, either on a blackboard or any other device or by telephone. In his biennial message to the Colorado Legislature, Governor Jesse F. McDonald advised the members to frame anti-trust legislation along the lines of the Ohio law, which, he said, had stocd the test of judical deter- TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS.

Independent coal companies repre- senting $60,000,000 met to outline ac- tion against the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company for alleged discri- mination in the distribution of cars. The government. encouraged by Judge Landis’ decision at Chicago, will push prosecutions against the Standard Oil Company in Chicago, St. Louis and Tenne¢sscse. Dissatisfaction is felt among foreign merchants at Newchwang, over alle- gations of rate discrimination in fav- or of Japanese goods on the Japanese section of the Manchurian railway. New Railroad Construction. The Railway Age computes the amount of new railroad construction in 1906 at 6,067 miles, making this the greatest year for new mileage since 1888, when 7,106 miles were complet- ed. The record year in the United tates is 1887, when 13,000 miles were constructed. he same - authority says that had the railroads been able to get labor in abundance the actual construction of this year would have outstripped that of 1887. BIG JOB PROJECTED Waterways Commission t Level of Lake E Having dispcsed of the Chicago drainage canal question and the inter- national boundary line on Lake Erie, the International Waterways Com- mission will next take up the question of damming the lower end of Lake Erie so as to raise the level of the lake. While no definite plan has been submitted to the commission, the general scheme in view is to build a great dam or regulating works at the lower end of Lake Erie or somewhere in the Niaragara river. Carnegie Gives $750,000. It was announced in Washington, D. C., that Andrew Carnegie has given $750,600 for the construction of a building to be used by the Bureau of American Republics.

BIGGEST SWINDLER OF THE AGE Arrest Ends Long Chase Through Mexico, Central and South America and Canada. R. C. Flower, alias C. G. Dalney, who has been a fugitive from New York since 1903, where he is wanted to answer charges of grand larceny and swindling credulous investors out of about $1,000,000 on alleged bogus mining operations, was arrested in Philadelphia, January 4 by Detective Sergeant McConville, of New York, and several local officers. Flower, who, the detectives say, is the most cclossal mine swindler of the age, was captured in a room in one of the big office buildings, where he has been located for some time. Under the name of Professor Oxford, the detectives say, he was seeking to secure money from: investors: by rep- resenting that he had .a .wonderful chemical process whereby he could make diamonds and other precious stones. The arrest of Flower ends a chase by the detectives and postal authori- ties that carried them through Mexi- co, Central America, part. of South America and Canada, beside many points in the United States. ‘When the detectives eventually ran him ‘down they found that he was so changed in appearances that they could scarcely recognize him. As Professor Oxford, he was apparently a benevolent old gentleman who wore TO BOOST COAL PRICE Inter-State Commerce . Commission Prcbhe Coal Famine. The causes, but not the cure, for the car shortage and the consequent coal famine in North Dakota, have been determined by the members of the Inter-State Commerce Commission. Franklin K. Lane, who served as chairman of the investigating com: mission, filed his report with the full commission and sent it to President Roosevelt. He finds: “It is a fair inference from all the testimony, that the real cause of the coal scarcity in North Dakota was such an abundance of Westbound traffic at the head of the lakes that cars were not available for the car- rying of coal to North Dakota.” Referring to the report that the coal shortage was due to the presence of a trust or combination who fixed prices in the Northwest and refused to sell to “outsiders’” and ‘‘irregulars,” ithe report says: “The commission has gained indis- putable proof of an agreement be- tween cecal dealers to maintain prices and to boycott all who do not so agree; but there is no evidence justifying the contenticn that this combination is chargeable wth the coal shortage prevailing, nor that the railroads were party in such a way to such a con- spiracy.” HUGHES TAKES OFFICE Republican Governor Begins Two- Year Term in New York. Charles E. Hughes took the cath of office as governor of the situate of New York and with his Democratic col- leagues began his two years’ term. The inaugural ceremonies were un- usually brilliant and the attendance almost unprecedented. The new governor in his inaugural address said among other things: a long white beard.

He denied being the missing | Flower at first but after being placed | in a cell admitted his identity. | TERRORISTS STILL AT WORK Prefect of Police Shot Down at St. Petersburg. The Prefect of Police of St. Peters- burg, Major General Von der Launitz, was shot and killed by a young man at the Institute of Experimental Medicine. Von der Launitz was attending the consecration of the institute chapel. During the services, and while ming- ling with several high officials, the Prefect was approached from behind by a yonng man, who drew a revolver and shot him in the base of the brain. Von der Launitz fell forward and died in two minutes. As the assassin turned to flee an officer present drew his saber and cut him down. 3 he fell cut, the man pointed his revolver at his own breast, and the shot killed him in- stantly. The assassination of the Prefect was preceded by an attempt to kill Dr. Dubrovin, President of the React- ionary League of the Russian people. A revolutionist fired several shots at him on the street while he was re- turning home at night. SULTAN SENDS COMPLIMENTS President Roosevelt Receives Letter from the Ruler of Morocco. President Roosevelt has received a letter from the sultan of Morccco ex- pressing his gratitude for the appoint- ment of Samuel R. Gummere as Ameri- can minister to Morocco. The letter is “Whether or not we have laws enough, we certainly have enough of ill-considered legislation, and the question is not as to the quantity but as to the quality of our proposed en- actments. It must freely ve recog- nized that many of the evils of which we complain have their source in the law itself, in privileges carelessly granted, in opportunities for private aggrandizement at the expense of the people recklessly created and in fail- ure to safeguard our public interests by providing means for just regula tion of those enterprises which depend upon the use of public franchises.” MILLION ENTER ONE PORT a Official Report Gives an Idea of Im- migration From Europe.

MOST OF THE DEAD MEXICANS All the Victims With Three Excep- tions Mexican Laborers—Operator Arrested. Thirty-five persons, all Mexicans but three, were killed, and the bodies of 30 Mexicans were incinerated January 2 in a head-on collision of two pass- enger trains of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railrcad, near Vol- land, Kan. The wreck occurred while both trains were running slowly on a curve in a cut where the grade was steep. All the killed were in the southbound train, except a tramp, who was on the baggage car of the northbound train. This tramp, a negro porter, and a workman accompanying a gang of 32 only Americans killed, so far as known, al- though a passenger says that a woman and a child were burned in a tourist car. Most of the injuries were due to the selling of the emergency brakes. Narly every passenger in the south- bound train was thrown to the car floor by the quick setting of the brakes. The northbound train was running 10 miles an hour up grade. The Mexicans were pinioned under {he seats, and the doors were jammed 30 they could not get out. In the chair ar, also, many passengers were held jown by the seats. The train caught fire from the gas tanks, which were broken. The pass- sngers in the rear cars escaped in night clothes and dressed in the mud beside the tracks. Then came the cries for help among the Mexicans in the smoking car, and the people pin- ioned fast in the chair car. Every man and nearly every woman on the train tried to rescue the unfortunates, but {he flames soon became too hot to permit of approaching the car. The injured were removed from the shair cars with less difficulty and ap- parently ail were rescued alive from these cars.

He directs attention to the remark- able satisfactory condition of the state finances, tells what has been done for the indigent insane, for charities and penal institutions and the schools and public highways, as constituting a record of which the people of Pennsyl- vania have good reason to be proud. He renews his suggestions as to the importance of forest preservation and commends adequate protecuon to game and game wardens. He re- views the accomplishments of the state highway department and. en- larges upon their advantages to the whole state. In the matter of public health he indicates with striking clearness the progress made by Pennsylvania, the success with which measures inaugurated by the state have been marked and the incalcul- able benefits that have been derived by the community from the system and agencies employed. The state constabulary, too, is to him a subject for congratulation, the record of its experimental stages being creditable alike to the minds which conceived its organization and the spirit which has controlled its operations and con- duct. Pp . The governor finds ‘also that factory inspection and the agricultural de- partments have secured excellent re- sults for their several fields of en- ‘deavor and that the national guard “well deserves all the support that can be given it.” ,, ‘Gov. Pennypacker surveys the whole range of state government and takes pleasure in portraying ‘‘condi- tions existing’’ in their best and most gratifying aspect. This brings him down to the special session of the legislature of last winter. Here, after quoting the unusually cordial tribute paid by President Roosevelt last Oc- tober, he deems it proper to demon- strate the significance. of this legisla- tive achievement and its tremendous importance to the people of the state.
