S IaS It sr--a IPC Why don't YOU try one? An Infernal machine, charged with twen ty-four sticks of dynamite, was found on the porch of Tom Dennlson's home, 1307 North Eighteenth street, Sunday evening. Frank' Kidman, 423 North Eighteenth street, who claims to be an agent of Elmer Thomas, attorney for tha Anti-Saloon league, was arrested later In the evening when Dennlson made a statement to the police . that Erdman had threatened his life. Erdman has been Identified by a man giving his name as Ous Nordine, a work man In the Union Paclflo shops, but whose name tho police say is Ole Olson, as being an escaped convict front the Colorado state prison at Canon City. Nordine visited Erd man in Jail and, shaking hands, held I conversation with him. "He waa at Canon City under the name of Brlnkmann. Ha was No. 6960," said Nordine. Erdman makes a stout denial of having served tn the Colorado prison and Insist that he had no connection with the placing of the machine on Dennlson'a porch. Chief Donahue has received the following telegram In reply to a message saent to Canon City Monday morning: CANON CITY, Colo.. May 23. 1910- John J. Donahue. Chief of Police: Hold Bi'lnkman. 59M). Am sending phnto and description today. THOMAS J. T1ENEN. Warden Colorado state fiison. Erdman has mado an unenviable namo for himself by his operations In Omaha dur Ing the last year. He has several tlnit pulled one or two revolvers In saloons, and once he ' stuck up" a saloon In East Orraha, single handed, while he pretended to search for gambllrg devices. He has proclaimed himself as the man who la to' break up "crooked fumbling," and a few days ago was the chief witness In a police court case, alleging a charge of keeping a gambling house against the owners of the Budweiser saloon. The case was dismissed by Judge Crawford. Chief of Police Dona hue has tried on several occasions to ge Erdman to desist from his peculiar opera Hons, but without avail. Erdman has also figured In the anti-saloon crusade through out the state, and was concerned In the recent upheaval at Crawford. Foiad 11 y Dennlson. Tha machine was found by Dennlson when he arrived home for supper at 0:30, It had been noticed on the porch three hours previously by his little daughter, Frances, who was playing around with school companion, Margaret Fordyce. Tha instrument of destruction was concealed In a new brown leather suit case. When tha children came upon It they tried to lift it, but failed. Had they been successful neither would have been living to tell the tale. In trying to raise tha grip the ctill dren had tilted it over and it was this fact that enabled Dennlson to see that the suit case was attached by a string to the porch This aroused his suplcions and he notified the police station. Detectives Mitchell and Hell hurried to tho place. 1 Contents of the Case. The first thing Detective Mitchell did ta.a tn fiit the atrlnr attaahed to the bar. which was connected with a screw, eyi driven 'into the porch. f "file "bag 'was then carried to a vacant lot. up to this them was a feeling that some one might bit perpetrating a joke, but when, the straps were unclasped and the bag opened a 38 caliber revolver was seen with hammer raised prepared for aotlon. In one com partment of the suitcase was a newly con structed box. This occupied two-thirds of the compartment, the remaining space be Ing reserved for the revolver, which waa tightly wedged In position by pieces of wood. When tho lid if the box waa un screwed by Officer Hell It was found to contain dynamite packed . In sawdust. Through the division board appeared the barrel of tha revolver. The method arranged for the discharge of the revolver would seem to be through the lifting of the grip, and when this fact be came apparent It was seen what a narrow escape the children ha J when they tried to remove the bag from the porch. To tha trigger of tha revolver waa attaohed a string which ran over three pulleys, sus ceptible to the sllghtust touch, and then through a hale cut In the side of the grip and thence to the screw eye on he porch. By this arrangement any grown person lifting the grip would glva uufflclent pur chase to pull the trigger, crack the cap and set the machine In operation. There v.s only on cartridge in the weapon and In this tha bullet was left ready to explode the dynamlt by concussion. The other five chamber hod alio been filled with dyna mite. When Offloera Mitchell and Hell had finished their examination of the suit case and its contents they returned to the station, accompanied by Dennlson, and it was In tonsequenc of hla statement and other suspicious circumstances that Erd man a arrested. Erdman Under Arrest. Erdman, against whom tha charge of suspicious character was entered on the book, had been taken to the station Sun day morning for carrying concealed wea pons. He was picked up at Slxteentn anu Webster street when a comparatively new weapon was found In hi pocket. He claimed to have permission to carry a revolver and was allowed to go on a per sonal bond to appear In the court this morning. When Mitchell and Holl went for him Sunday night, he was told that the captain wanted to see him In connection with the Sunday morning charge. The workmanship on the Infernal ma chine was crude and did not show that the chisel cutting work had been done by a skilled carpenter. Mr. Dennlson thinks that the machine was placed on the porch while the family was absent. lie say that about J 30 Sun day afternoon a man was seen by a girl employed at Mr. Whalen's, B19 Sherman avenue, to get oft a street car carrying a suit case and walk In the direction of his houss. After dinner Mr. . Dennlson went to tho race track and his wife paid a visit to uorao friends. corner of his line about noon Sunday. When Allen was permitted to Inspect the ultcase In which the explosive contrivance was found, and to look at Erdman, he declared he thought the suitcase was the one taken from his car near the Dennlson home, but that he was not sure Erdman had been the man who carried It. He sa'd, however, that he had seen Erdman fre quently as a passenger on the Una previously.. All morning Captain Dunn and several detectives" were enraged In conference with men interested In the case. H. B. Mills, secret service agent, took a part In the investigation, but later declared he had no evidence to Implicate Erdman In any crime he was working upon. In hla own statement of the case, Erd man preserved the demeanor of amaxed In nocence. He declared It his belief that he had been made the object of suspicion through a design of the real bomb placers. 'You can find a hundred who heard me say the gamblers ought to be blown to pieces," he said. "I think It was one of these people who had political troubles with Dennlson that laid the dynamite and got me mixed up In the crime." Dennlson statement that two persons had warned him, a week ago Erdman ws planning his destruction, brought from the prisoner a further denial. "I haven't any personal grudge against Dennlson," ie- clared the prisoner. "I don't even know where he lives. I never told anybody I was going to kill him." In conclusion, Erdman said ho had been robbed of over $1,600 In various gambling places, and tho experience caused undying bitterness against gamblers. Lilly M. Strong New Secretary of the Y. W.

Not a paving brick Is bolng brourht Into Omaha these days, because of the friu. r brick loaders at the Purlngton brick yards In Oalesburg, III. While Hugh Murphy has tome brick on hand, the amount Is very small.. Colonel Charles E. Fanning and, other contractors have absolutely none of the Purlngton brick and cannot get any now. "While we are laying concrete on some of the streets we have under contract," said Colonel Fanning, "we are doing it simply to be prepared when the brick does begin to arrive. The lack of paving brick is costing me a largo amount of money every week, but apparently there Is nothing to be done. A man from the Oalesburg plant was to have arrived in Omaha today, but I am unable to see that hla coming will do us any good." City Engineer Craig and the local con tractors understand the Oalesburg plant is choked with brick ready for shipment, but the company hesitates, to bring In strike breakers to load the made-up article. The local men concerned also say the question that ha tied up the Oalesburg yards Is not one affecting wages, but relates sololy to the open shop. The brick loaders Insist that the yards shall be unionised through out and the company Is contending for an open shop so far as brick loaders are concerned. The strike has now been on for about three months. Pending a settlement of the trouble at Oalesburg, Contractor Murphy and the Bryant, Ford & McLaughlin firm are going ahead with whatever asphalt paving they have under contract. Colonel Fanning takes contracts for brick paving only. Three Thousand for Two Ear Drums Stone Cutter is Crushed to Death John Rhine Meets with Fatal Acci ' dent in Stone Yards Mon day Morning. ...

With this fact in view Red Cloud friends of the Omaha mayor have arranged for a meeting at the opera house In the evening, when Dahlman will deliver an address that Is expected to be an amplification of his platform pronouncement. He will also very likely give some attention to the recent speech delivered In Omaha by W. J, Bryan Mayor Dahlman takes the position, as he Intimated today, that Nebraska, in town and country. Is growing better all - the time; that there Is less drunkenness and less drinking today than ever before, and that therefore the need for a county local option law Is less pressing than ever be fore. At the same time he will stick to his platform declaration that the proposed county option law Is against all the trad I tions of his party, and so must be opposed on principle. "It is not a political question in any sense," asserts the mayor, "and everybody should oppose the effort to make it such." Bes Want Ads Are Business Boosters.

COUNTY TAX TO BE INCREASED Indication Are that Assessor Have Missed So Many Others - Moat Make I'p the Difference. The county tax levy Is likely to be In. creased by the Board of Equallxatlon when that body meets. It Is now almost certain than hundreds and even thousands of per sonal taxpayer of last year will escape this time through having been missed by the precinct assessors. But one week re mains tor tnera, to work, and the total 16 still many thousands of schedules less than In 1909. inis mean mat ir tn same amount of revenue I to be returned, the levy must be larger.
