BLACKMAILER MAKES NOTABLE INVENTION Experts Say Death Dealing Machine Can Be Made Life Saver. HE ADMITS HIS CRIME Salt Lake City, July 19.—In the pres ence of electrical experts, federal offi cers and detectives here, today, was demonstrated what was declared to be perhaps the most remarkable death dealing machine Invented in recent years. The Invention Is the work of W. L. Cummins, 23 years old, who con fessed to federal and.municipal offi cers. when he was arrested yesterday, that he had threatened to use it to de stroy Miss Dorothy Bamberger, wealthy society girl, unless she gave him $1,000. After the demonstration, government officials took possession of the inven tion. What is held to be of more import ance, the invention, it is said, can be turned to the saving of life by pre venting train or ship collisions. Electricians at noon today took the machine into a steel and concrete vault in an office building. Another part of the contrivance, on which was mounted a bell and an Incandescent globe, was placed in a closed room across a hall. Then the electric current of the ma chine in the airtight vault was turned on. On the unattached box in the oth er room the bell rang and the lamp glowed brightly. In his acknowledged letter to Miss Bamberger, Cummings sent a diagram of his invention, saying that he would place a suit case of nitroglycerine in her room and explode it from a dis tance. The demonstration today, say the electrical experts, proves that he eofrld have accomplished this. In speaking of his invention as he sat in his cell, Cummings said the attach ment could be installed'in locomotive cabs where it would give a positive signal if a train ran past a closed block signal. In war, he said, mines could be exploded without wire at tachments. The prisoner told the police he had been induced to try to blackmail Miss Bamberger by two other men who, he believed, were members of a New York gang of blackmailers. RIOTING SAILORS SACK INDUSTRIAL ' WORKERS’ OFFICES Seattle, Wash., July 19.—De claring that a "condition of riot and tumult,” which prevailed last night, was in "imminent danger of renewal,” Mayor George F. Cot terill, of this city, proclaimed his assumption of control of the city police force today, closed all sa loons and ordered the suspension of publication of th,e Seattle Times unless proofs of each edition be submitted to him. The news paper office was surrounded by police just before noon to enforce the order. The publishers of the Times an nounced they had sought injunc tions against the mayor and police. Clarence B. Blethen, managing editor of the paper, Issued a state ment charging Mayor Cotterill with responsibility for the riots of the last two nights in that he had per mitted “the display at the red flag and spread of an anarchistic prin ciples” upon the streets during the Potlatch festival. This, Blethen, said, had led to the attack upon United States Boldiers two nightB ago and to the retaliatory attempt upon Industrial Workers of the World and socialist headquarters last night by civilians and sailors * from the Pacific fleet. Seattle, Wash., July 21.—Leaders of lie Industrial Workers of the World ind of the socialist party cast up to lay the damage done last night when l mob of sailors from the Pacific re lerve fleet, assisted by civilians, wrecked the downtown headquarters ind the uptown meeting place of the Industrial Workers of the World and Ihe headquarters of the two branches if the socialist party. Socialist lead ers estimated that they suffered the lieaviest loss, $1,800, in books and furniture. Industrial Workers esti mated their loss att$l,000. Aside from iroken windows, no damage was done jo the buildings. The damage to the Peniel mission meeting place, broken Into by mistake, was not great. The sailors, who led the mob, did lot appear to be in a very ugljy mood, md no one was seriously injured, al jhough several men were slightly hurt In fist fights. Only one man required Ireatment at the city hospital. Only One Arrest. The only man arrested by the police was Walter Thurber, an Industrial Worker, who knocked down a Are de partment captain when the latter dis played amusment while viewing the wreckage in front of the socialist hhll. None of the sailors were molested >y the police, but the provost guard, lent ashore from the flagship Virginia, •ounded up all the men, after several lours’ work, and early today there was tot a sailor to be seen on the streets. The march of hundreds of civilians, marshaled by the sailors, who led the procession waving American flags, leised from potlatch festival deeora ions, was not without its amusing features. Whenever the provost guard love in sight sailor-rioters disape peared in the crowd. Many of the llvlllans mistook the provost guard tor the rioting sailors and cheered Ehem lustily. Nebraska Woman Faints. When the furniture thrown out of Ihe Industrial Workers’ meeting place it Westlake and Olive streets was ourned the flames mounted danger jusly near a frame hotel. Guests llamored down the Are escape in night ittire while the sailors roamed through Ihe halls shouting gleefully, thinking Ihe building was used as a lodging louse by the Industrial Workers. One woman, a visitor from Hastings, Neb., fainted, but was soon revived. About a dozen men of war’s men, all roung, were in the first wrecking party lo get under way. They were aided ly several members of the Washington laval tnilitia and by 100 young civilians, who made most, of the noise. Waving United States flags, the storming party /wooped down on the cart news ttand of Millard Price, a socialist ora lor, at the intersection of Fourth ave lue and West Lake boulevard, the ! busiest night corner of the city. The cart was broken to splinters In a mo ment and the big stock of socialist papers and magazines torn to shreds and jumped upon. The mob then rushed to a store room occupied until recently by the In dustrial Workers of the World at Fifth avenue, near Stewart. The wreckers found the place deserted, the tenants having moved. They then proceeded to the socialist headquarters on Fifth ave nue, near Stewart, smashed in the plate glass front and nailed American flags on the front of the building. Two po licemen smiled complacently on the wreckers. They first tore the signs from the front of the tfuilding and broke them to pieces^andr then started to break the furniture and throw the books into the street, but the police men stopped them. Salvation Army Suffers. The door leading into a larger and lighter room was Broken open. A burly sailor dashed into the room, hurled an organ off a platform, then, seizing a heavy chair, proceeded to demolish the organ. Other men in uni form smashed chairs, broke benches and worked havoc. One of the men, tearing down a motto “God Is Love," from the wall, started back and said: “Boys, we’re all wrong.” A sign that had been stamped under foot read: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son." Some of these sailors shouted to their comrades to stop smashing and word was passed that the place was a Salvation army meeting room. Some of the sailors refused to stop their demolition of the furniture, saying: “What is the differ ence?" Half a dozen policemen, aided by some of the sailors, cleared the building of the wreckers, but not until much damage had been done. The mob marched toward Pioneer square, which was full of potlatch merrymakers. Dispersed By Police. There were demands that the in dustrial workers be hunted down, and a young civilian in a white suit, tried to induce the party to go to the headquarters of the moderate social ists in an old church'on Olive street, near Seventh. Another self appoint ed leader led the party toward the old Unitarian church on Seventh ave nue, near Union street, which had Just been vacated by the moderates. As the naval men were crossing Pike street to Sixth they were overhauled by an automobile full of policemen headed by a big captain, who told the sailors that if they did not dis perse he would arrest every one of them. The policemen, by maneuvering, separated the men in uniform and scattered them. No handling of them was necessary. The men shouted to the police: “Your mayor won’t do anything to protect the flag, so we are saving your city.” A young civilian, who had been en deavoring to Incite the sailors, kept shouting to them to "go ana get Mayor Cotterill.” No arrests were made. Wreck Socialist Office. After the police had dispersed the small group of sailors, marines and young civilians at Sixth and Uni versity streets, the men moved back to Fourth avenue and West Lake, re ceived large reinforcements from the fleet and the neighboring saloons and the street crowds and moved north to the red socialists’ headquarters on the west side of Fifth avenue, which they demolished, burning all furniture and literature. Some one shouted that there was a socialist headquarters in an old church on Olive street and the mob was soon running thither. The church was broken into and sacked, the books and furniture being dragged into the street and burned. The mob turned back to West Lake avenue, and, after some false starts, reached the alley leading north from Washington street west of First ave nue south. The leaders of the mob, uniformed men of the fleet, broke up packing boxes in the alley and smashed in the alley doors of a building, that contained numerous chairs and which, to the sailors, seemed to be a nest of industrial workers. As the men plunged into the building, slightly below the alley level, the lights were turned out, but matches were lighted and the sail ors began to break chairs and benches.

Francisco, July 21.—The right of any single state to regulate the power of an interstate corporation to raise funds for disbursement in various states was attacked today by the Southern Pacific railway in a suit filed horo in the United States district court. The company seeks an injunction re straining the California railroad com mission from asserting jurisdiction over a contemplated issue of equip ment trust certificates aggregating ap proximately J6.000.000, to be raised in New York anl spent in several western states. The complaint contends, that if the right is granted to any one state to declare void securities Issued without the approval of that state's delegated agent, such right must be conceded to all states. Such a condition, It Is held, would set up a conflict of au thority which would make impossible any general plan of finance satisfactory to all commissions.

To be sure, nothing has emanated from the White House to the effect Mr. Wilson Intends to make another try for the presidency, but on the other hand nothing has emanated from either the president or his friends to the con trary. It is not long until 1916, as the course of politics goes, and latterly there has been a lot of talk In political quarters about the way In which the campaign then is likely to shape up. Most republican politicians and many democrats look on Mr. Wilson as seek ing another nomination and as not at all unlikely to get It. This, it must be borne In mind, has due reference to the ambition of Sec retary Bryan, to the one-term plank In the Baltimore platform and to othor phases of the situation. It is perfectly well understood here that the close friends of Mr. Wilson have no use for the one-term plank In the Baltimore platforifi. President Wilson has kept quiet about It, but iFiSSF&liiS.Al got no Impetus from New Jersey. Nor Is there any sign now of any imme diate haste to get a one-term amend ment adopted. If such an amend ment were adopted, It would probably not be applied t9 Mr. Wilson or Col onel Roosevelt or to Mr. Taft. SERVANT GIRL IS FOUND HANGING ON FENCE RAIL Chhicago, July 21.—Unofficial Investi gation of circumstances surrounding the death of a young woman whose body was found hanging from a fence railing near Oak Forest, a suburb, to day indicated that the woman was a Swedish or Norwegian domestic^ servant and that she committed suicide. The partial Identification was estab lished by letters which she carried and "servants wanted" clippings from newspapers. The only evidence which might Indi cate murder was the fact that her watch had stopped apparently before the spring had completely unwound. Death apparently was due to stran gulation from a strip of cloth in a noose around her neck and attached to the top rail of the fence. She was not bound, nor were her personal posses sions, including several dollars and the watch, disturbed. HOWELL WINS HIGH AMATEUR SHOOT SCORE Wilmington, Del., July 21.—George M.

J„ when she appeared before Advisor Master In Chancery Hartshorns today to continue her suit for separation against her husband, Frederick H. Pat terson, a Newark manufacturer.

Why, yes terday he sent me my alimony, the Arst instalment of 24, which you told him, your honor, to pay me each week; and how did he send It? He sent me 400 cents In a box, and I was kept busy for an hour or more, trying to see whether It was all there. A man named Cole brought me the money, and when I saw the cents I was so surprised I asked If my husband had given them to him. “ ‘Well,’ said he, “he gave me some of them, and I got the rest for him.’ “ ‘But why?* I demanded. “ ‘It’s to keep you busy for a while,’ w'as hts answer. I think It is a cruel thing to do.” INDISCREET WIFE GIVEN RAIL RIDE Chicago. July 21.—Inspired by the winning of the ballot by Illinois wom en, militant members of the sex in Volo, 111., 17 miles north of Waukegan, have soared on to greater activities. Their enthusiasm has been disturbing to Mrs. John Richardson, wife of a crippled storekeeper in the village, and has caused the departure of her brotherinlaw, William Dunnill, with whom she has spent so much time dur ing her husband’s illness as to cause gossip. About BO women of the village de cided to take things into their own hands and a committee composed of practically all the prominent women of the place went to the Richardson residence. Mrs. Richardson had just returned from a buggy ride with her brotherinlaw and met the committee at the door. "We are going to show you what we think of your actions,” said one of the women, and before Mrs. Richardson could resist she had been seized and her hands bound. Make Woman Ride Rail. A long rail suddenly made its ap pearance. Mrs. Richardson, screaming and fighting, was placed on the rail and a dozen women grabbed the ends and the march began. Shouting at the top of her voice, the woman was carried through the streets of the village. None but women were in the railriding party.” The men of the village were grouped on the main street and cheered the shrieking wom an as she was carried past. At the outskirts of town the proces sion turned and made its way back to the Richardson residence. There the woman was dumped, none too gently, upon the ground, with the injunction to “leave volo inside of 24 hours or take another ride.” She left a few hours later for Waukegan. The woman then went to the Dun nill residence looking for "the man in the case,” Mrs. Dunnill was there, but said her husband had left town a few hours before. He is supposed to have learned of the plans of-the women to "visit" him and to have hurried from Volo. _ _ KENYON WILL MAKE ONLY FEW SPEECHES Washington, D. C., July 21.—Senator Kenyon said today the discussion in the Senate and the country of the course of Bryan in lecturing because he could not live within his salary, wouJd hayq. a jrosd effect. "It will nave a good effect bn congress,” said Senator Kenyon. “There has been al together too much of the practice of men in congress dropping their publio duties and going away to speak for long periods. I think men in both con gress and public office will be more careful about that sort of thing here after.” Senator Kenyon said he had made a few speeches this session, but made it clear he intended to do very little of it hereafter when congress was assem bled. _ LONDON NEWS THINKS WILSON WON’T YIELD ——_v London, July 21.—The Dally News, in an editorial today, asks why the powers which dealt in a harsh manner with the regicide Servian government and the Portuguese republic and even now refuse to recognize the Chinese republic, should be so eager to get tile United States to bless General Huerta. The edltorfal accuses the powers of doing in Mexican affairs only what financiers and concessionaries want and thinks that President Wilson is not likely to be actuated by such mo tives.

FORGOT DESIRE TO QUESTION Chairman’s Reception of Would-Be Interrogator Somehow Discovered the Rest of Them. At a political meeting In a certain New South Wales gold-mining dis trict the chair was taken by an ath letic miner. The candidate during his speech was much Interrupted by hootlngs and rough chaff, -and his chairman was soon In a state of boil ing indignation. Smothering his wrath, however, he pacified the *t>oys” by assuring them that at the end of the candidate’s speech they should be at liberty to put any ques tion they chose. Accordingly, at the end of the harangue he arose and In quired in stentorian tones and In a rich Irish brogue: "His ”lnny gintle man a questhlon to alrsk?" A stout little Welsh miner, who had been a conspicuous disturber of the peacs of the evening, shuffled slowly up ths steps of the platform. But at tha top he was met by the / chairman,'* who, without the slightest warning^ delivered a terrific left-and-rlghter, and sent the Welshman sprawling on his back. "Now,” roared the chair man, "has lnny other gintleman a questhlon to alrsk?”—and there waa no response. Young Grammarian. Jack walked Into the house rubbing his nose, and trying hard to keep back his tears. After he had gained control of his feelings^ he turned to his mo ther and said:r “Mother, Bobby Brown is the worst est boy that ever lived.” "There Is no such word as ‘worstest,* my dear! You mean that he Is tha worst boy that ever lived.” “Worst, mum!
