BOMBS THROWN
AMONG WORKMEN
New York Union Men Wounded
by Missile Thrown from
|i i Elevated Train.
Journal Special Service,
New York, July 28.Two bombs,
charged with powder and an improvised
Bhrapnel of pebbles, were dropped from
& south-bound Third avenue elevated
train, last night among a hundred men,
most of them members of a plumbers'
local union, who were standing in front
of the Teutoaia assembly rooms, near
Sixteenth street. Eight men were in
jured, one seriously. Few in the crowd
escaped minor cuts or contusions.
There was not a building within six
blocks which was not shaken.
By the time the smoke from the ex
plosion had blown away and the cries
of confusion had ceased the elevated
train, at the Fourteenth street station,
two blocks away, was discharging its
passengers. The bombthrowers had
the fullest opportunity to escape and
they took it.
Jaanes Mtzpatrick, a plumber, was
icked up from the .gutter unconscious.
was bleeding from head to heel
from thirty wounds and looked as if he
had been a. target for a double-barreled
hot gun loaded with slugs.
Not a man nor a woman within a ra
flius of twenty-five feet of the explosion
scaped without a contusion. The
poznbs hurled a dozen men into the mid
dle of the street, and as many more into
nearby doorways and thru doors.
Union No. 2 has been on a strike
since July 1, and because No. 480 has
persisted in signing with the employing
body, feeling haB run high between the
two sets of journeymen.
Captain Hussey assigned four detec
tives to try to find a clue to the bomb
throwers, but having had experience
with labor unions heretofore, he did not
think the officers would distinguish
themselves by making an arrest.

CONSTANTINO DID NOT
KILL MRS. GENTRY
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., July 28.Fritz
Constantino, who has been held here
for eight days, suspected of knowing
something of the death of Mrs. Arthur
W. Gentry, who was murdered at her
home in Chicago last January, was re
leased today. The man for whom the
Chicago authorities are looking in con
nection with the crime had a room in
the Gentry flat. George Scott of Chi
cago, who is intimately acquainted with
this man, saw Constantino today and
declared he was not the person wanted
in Chicago. Fritz said that after he
was sent to Elmira reformatory he
took the name of Frank J. Constantino
and has been generally known by that
name ever since. He said that neither
be nor his mother knows anything of
the whereabouts of the real Frank Con
stantino.

for Keeping Burglars
Sky.
Journal Special Servioo.
New York, July 28.Wellington
Wells, retired broker, found a new way
of keeping out burglars.
Wells is a snake faddist and the
owner of about 300 live specimens.
For three months past Wells.' home,
has been a market for housebreakers.
Thursday night Wellp^and his family
summoned enough urage to go to
Coney Island. Before departing Wells
took a number of small snakes and,
placing one in his wife's jewel case,
another in his suit case and still others
in various chests of drawers and closets,
he turned the rest loose about the house.
When the family returned they found
the front door and kitchen window sci
entifically jimmied.
I told you so," said Mrs. Wells.
Wells began to feel pretty mean,
when his eye caught a note pinned to
the front-door casing. It read:
"Not for ours. You came mighty
near stinging us, tho."
Nothing was taken.
TEXAS PRIMARIES
WERE HELD TODAY
They Are Under Jurisdiction
State and Poll Tax Receipt
Is Required.
Waco, Texas, July 28.The state
democratic primaries are being held to
day for the first time under what is
known as the Terrell election law,
which puts primaries under the juris
diction of the state and provides pen
alties for illegal voting or other irregu
larities. A poll tax receipt is required
to vote. It is believed-the vote wiil be
very heavy. The four candidates for
governor are:
Charles K. Bell, Fort Worth, a for
mer attorney general Thomas Camp
bell of Palestine, a former railroad at
torney Judge M. M. Brooks of Dallas,
of the court of civil appeals, and O. B.
Colquitt, a member of the state rail
road commission.

itionists, while Colquitt will receive the
support of many anti-prohibitionists.

is between Bell and Campbell.

Drops from $72 to $66
Mayor Jubilant.
Journal Speoial Service.
Cleveland, July 28.Mayor Tom L.
Johnson says that the only course left
to the Cleveland Electric railway, the
property which he raided Tuesday, is to
sell out to the city. On the Cleveland
Stock Exchange the stock of the com
pany dropped from $72 to $66 a share.
The mayor was jubilant.
"Eight points in three days," he
said "that's something near $2,000,-
000 loss. I wonder if they are not
sorry they did not accept the city's of
fer of $85 a share. The only course
for the company is to sell out to the
city."
President Andrews of the Cleveland
Electric said that he saw no significance
in the slump.
The slump is the result of .-jockeying
among the friends of Mayor Johnson.
When they get thru the stock will be
firm."
