TWELVE STICKS WITH FUSES Mystery Surrounds the Find Street Railway Manager Says Company Has Had No Trouble to In spire Such a Deed. SEATTLE, Oct 28. Twelve sticks of dynamite done up in two packages, with split fuses attached all ready to light, were found concealed In the toilet-room of the Interurban Depot, First avenue south and Jackson street, at 3 oclock this afternoon. There was enough of the ex plosive to have blown up all buildings within a radius of two blocks and to dam age property for a distance of ten blocks from the depot. The news of the find was received at the police station over the telephone and Po lice Sergeant Stuart made a personal in vestigation. One package, containing sir sticks, had been carefully rolled up and placed be hind the washstand bowl. The other, con taining the same amount, had been wrapped In the same manner and secreted from view behind the toilet bowl. Around each of the packages. Inside the paper in which they were rolled, was a long fuse so arranged as, to connect with the sticks. The end of each of these fuses had been split with a knife for a distance of about an Inch exposing the powder to view through the WTapper and would permit immediate ignition. The discovery was made by a laborer named Wilson. "When his eye fell on the package behind the washstand and the fact that It was concealed struck him as peculiar. He pulled it out and discovered it was dynamite. The toilet is located in the basement of the building. It is open day and night. While the stuff may have been there un noticed for a longer time, it is generally believed that it was placed where found today. An explosion of dynamite occurred at First and Jackson streets to the rear of the Capital Hotel early Tuesday morning not more than 150 feet from the depot building. Then it was supposed that the explosion was the work of some drunk en man for his own amusement. Now the matter is viewed in a different light and a searching investigation is being made by detectives. Three weeks ago a man, who gave his name as Will Shannon, was arrested In the Idaho Saloon with 14 sticks of dy namite In his pockets. He claimed the stuff had been given him by an unknown man. A few days after he was identified as a deserter from the Army and was turned over to the authorities at Fort Lawton. Two days after the arrest of Shannon a man named Robinson, while walking on the Arlington dock came across two sticks of the explosive hidden between a pile and the run -"be am of the wharf. General Manager Grant, of the Street Railway Company, when Informed of the find in the depot said: "I cannot imagine why it should be placed there. We have not had any trouble with anyone which would be likely to in spire such a hideous crime." ARRESTED ON TRAIN. "Eight Men Jailed at Oregon City for Stealing a Ride. OREGON CITY. Or., Oct. 2S. Special.) The first arrest under the state law pro hibiting the stealing of rides on railroad trains, passed by the last session of the State Legislature, was made in this city last night when Officers Shaw and Noblett took eight men from the overland train ! and placed them in Jail. Officials of the Southern Pacific Company signed the complaints against the men who were this morning sentenced to three days' con finement each In the city jail. Trainmen have been troubled consider ably of late by hobos with which every train Is plentifully supplied, and it was at the request of the company officials that the arrests for violation of a state law were made last night. The law confers "on railroad conductors and all other attaches of the corporation to make arrests and cause persons so ar rested to be delivered to the Sheriff, or other peace officer to be prosecuted. Any person stealing or attempting to steal a ride on a railroad train is liable to ar rest In any county of the state through which the train may be passing at the time. Imprisonment in Jail not to exceed SO days, or a maximum fine of $G0, or both, are the penalties Imposed. CRIMINAL CASES ARE FEW. Judge McBrlde, However, Has Large Docket at Oregon City. OREGON CITY, Or.. Oct 28. (Special.) Judge T. A. McBrlde will convene the November term of the Clackamas County Circuit Court Monday morning. The docket now includes 162 cases, and this number will be Increased by nearly a score before the court convenes Monday. Classified, the docket consists of 7 crim inal, 13 law nd 142 equity cases. In the equity department 64 of the 142 suits are divorce proceedings. This number was probably never before equaled in the Clackamas Circuit Court. Judging from the number of criminal cases the de meanor of the 25,000 people residing in the county has been exemplary. Of the seven criminal cases five have been con tinued from a preceding term of the court and the other two are trivial charges. One man Is charged with tres passing and the other complaint is against John Doe for illegal fishing. His identity is not known. There has not heen an occupant of thp county jail on a charge of law-breaking during the last five months. In that length of flme probably three persons were temporarily confined pending their examination and commitment for insan ity.

Lawson so well that it is hardly necessary for their benefit to characterize his statements. The dis patch which I have Just read, In which he states that I demanded 57,000,000 for all of my property in Butte, la entirely without any foundation in fact. "I would not for an Instant consider any communication ot a business charac ter seriously from him. And as I never have in the past mentioned any figure at which I would sell my interests In Butte, and have a number of times refused twice what ho says in his dispatch I demanded from him, it is almost a waste of words to say anything further about his mes sage."

Augustus Helnze with refer ence to an offer of Mr. Lawson to buy Mr. Helnze's copper property in Montana. Mr. Lawson cites four occasions upon which, he says, Mr. Helnze negotiated with him concerning the purchase of Mr. Helnze's copper property at Butte, Mont. He says: "If Mr. Helnze can prove to a board of arbitration that he could have sold his properties for $14,000,000, or even $10,000,000, I will raise my offer to $10,000,000, $12,000, 000 or $14,000,000."

The building was occupied by ten storekeepers, several of whom were in the conflagration of Oc tober 1G, and by numerous families and offices In the second story. The fire started In an open shed at the west of Rogers Bros, feed store, and the flames quickly enveloped the entire block, although hot embers larger than a hand were distributed for blocks distant, a gen tle rain was falling and saved tho unde stroyed business section from being wiped out, A brisk west wind was blow ing. The fire department worked heroically; and kept the flames within the Commer cial block and a two-story house on H GOVERNOR OF PORTO FEDERAL WILLIAM II. HUNT, WHO "WILL SUCCEED MONTANA JURIST.

Governor Hunt formerly oc cupied a place on the Supreme Court bench of Montana. street. Close to the fire, within close range of the Commercial block, were several good-sized wooden buildings, but they were only scorched on the front.

LOUIS. Oct, 2S. The statement of President Julius S. Walsh, of the Missis sippi Valley Trust Company,' whose senti ments arc echoed in statements given to the Associated Press by other trust com pany officials of St. Louis, "that the situa tion is thoroughly in hand, the excitement has subsided, and from this on we expect business will be continued In the usual orderly manner." expresses theoplnlon that seems general tonight after the unwonted financial changes that prevailed here dur ing parts of yesterday and today. Officers of all the trust companies state that voluntary offers of help were received from outside finnacial institutions, but all are. declined for the reason that they had sufficient cash with which to handle their business. Expressions of confidence and offers of aid on the part of the National banks and other financial Institutions of St. Louis helped to strengthen the situa tion and restore confidence. Long before 10 o'clock, the hour of open ing, lines of depositors stretched away from the closed doors of the Mississippi "company, the Mercantile Trust Comoany and the Missouri Trust Company. Small crowds were assembled before Jhe doors of the other savings Institutions near by. It was obserftd that most of those in line were working people, and many of them women, whos savings were not heavy. Owing to the action taken last night by the officials of the eight trust companies doing "business in St. Louis, requiring 30 and 60 days' notice of Intention to with draw funds, depositors wero not "able to get any money. All they could do was to declare their Intention of withdrawing their deposits at the end of the time taken advantage of by the companies under their rules. The trust companies also decided not to pay certificates of deposit before maturity. .Streets Are Jammed. The greatest crowd was before the doors of the Mercantile Trust Company. Locust and Eighth streets being Jammed for a distance of several hundred feet, and all efforts to keep them clear were practic ally abandoned, while the police directed their efforts chiefly toward maintaining some degree of order at the doors. .At 9 o'clock the doors were opened, and the crowd surged In with a force that swept aside the lines of police and bank employes formed to preserve a regular line to tho windows of the paying teller of the time and open accounts. Festus J Wade, president of the Mercantile Trust CQmpany, mounted a chair and made an announcement that unless the depositors formed In line they would be ejected from the building. This announcement had the RICO WILL BECOME JUDGE desired effect, and some semblance of order was restored. By 10 o'clock the crowd around the building had increased to such an extent that the police were totally unable to control It, and the officers stationed at the doors were swept away from their stations almost as rapidly as they could regain them. Women Crushed by Crowd. Women, who. as on Tuesday, consti tuted a large percentage of the crowd, were crushed In the Jam. and in the strug gle their dresses were torn and' their hats knocked off. The police in trying to handle the crowd pushed many of them Into the gutter, and In several instances personal fights were averted only by in terference by cooler heads. At the various institutions named the officials stated to the Associated Press that current accounts were received and paid out as usual. The early crowds which thronged the doors of the bank gradually thinned out, many of the sav ings depositors taking their bank notices of withdrawal home. Officers of the dif ferent Institutions made reassuring speech es to the depositors before their doors, and this helped to send others away. The ar rival of several boxes of gold and silver In express wagons guarded by armed mes sengers seemed to restore a degree of con fidence to the crowd before the Mercantile Trust Company building. Henry M. Meier, vice-president of the Missouri Trust Company, made this state ment! "Our Institution has money in abund ance to meet demands of whatever na ture. All of the banks and trust com panies have sufficient funds to tide them over the present situation." John E. Davis, second vice-president of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company, addressed the throng: assembled there, saying: "The anxiety expressed here Is entirely uncalled for and without reason. AH open accounts will be paid Just as soon as they are presented here. Every other ac count will be paid Just as soon as it falls due. "There Is no reason for any worry. Your money Is well Invested, and you can set It back If you want it at tho regular time provided for In -your con tract, "We are in splendid shape financially, and everything Is prosperous with us. I think the same is true of every trust com pany in St. Louis." Many large mercantile houses announced to their employes that the firms would cash any checks on the trust companies. Curbstone brokers who went among the depositors in front of the lssisslppl Val ley and Mercantile Trust Companies, of fering to discount checks at 6 per cent, got no business. Owing to the strike of express drivers, no money for exchange was received from outside points at the Subtreasury today. New York Sends Cash. NEW YORK. Oct. 2S. St, Louis contin ues to make demands on this center for cash. Tho sum of $600,000 was sent by telegraphic transfer from the Subtreasury today, and direct shipments of about the same amount was made by local banks last night, ' No definite news regarding the situation in St. Louis is obtainable in authoritative quarters here, but bankers profess to be lieve that reports have been much ex aggerated. Private advices received by the Stock Exchange houses agree that the substantial Interests of St. Louis have the situation well In hand. Chicago and New Orleans nave also drawn moderately on the Subtreasury to day for "crop" xnone, OWN KIN IN MURDER Brother of Girl Foully Slain Held on Suspicion, FAMILY ROW THE THEORY Accredited Lover of Miss Betchel Is Also Detained, but the Mys tery Appears Far From a Solution. ALXENTOWN. Pa., Oct. 23. With, Da vid Welsenberg under $5C0 ball supplied by Congressman Kline, and with Thomas j Bechtel, her brother, and Alfred Eckstein, , her accredited lover, locked up In a police t station cell, the Allentown police are rest ing their work on the Mabel H. Bechtel murder case of yesterday morning. . until Coroner Schclrer's jury meets tomorrow evening. The mystery Is still practically un solved, except that indications point to a family row In which Eckstein may have figured, as he admits he was at Miss Bechtel's home on Monday evening for an hour and a half. Titt riltrjk tfefa off (iT-nnnn rnf OlO rn- tlre Bechtel family, except the mother, under thorough examination. All deny any knowledge of how Mabel catne to- her death. Martha, John and Charles were discharged, but Thomas was held as a witness before the Coroner's Jury because ' of supposed bloodstains found on his over- i alls and In his room. Eckstein was slm- J Harly held. The mother was not called because of her hysterical condition. j Eckstein was Miss Bechtel's accepted lover, though she ajso received attentions j from "Welsenberg. 'Eckstein and the girl . were to have been married November 22, I but the date was recently postponed until Christmas. I They had frequent quarrels over Wels- ; enberg's attentions, Eckstein being jeal- : ous of him. He had expressed threats to j several persons that he would kill both, i It Is said he occasionally beat Miss Bech- j tel severely, and as recently as last Thurs day evening, when they went to Phlla- delphia together, Eckstein was seen to ; pummel her on one of the principal ! streets. Because of this and because ; Eckstein was at the Bechtel home on Monday evening he Is being held. The Bechtel' family sided with Eckstein, preferring him to Welsenberg as a pros pective member of their family. Police Sergeant Knauss returned to Al lentown from New York toaay with Wels enberg. The latter gave a detailed state- i ment of his movements since Sunday, ! which are corrobarated fully. TiC police I Incline to the belief that the girl, was not away from home on Monday; that a fam- j Ily row occurred In view of the girl's sup- t posed duplicity to Eckstein and her at- ) tachment for Welsenberg; that the blow J was struck In anger which may have : been more severe than was Intended, and . that the girl s murder -was jthus ac complished and the body disposed of as found, the story being concocted as re lated by the mother. RIOTERS FIGHT TROOPS HARD Bilbao Trouble Assumes a Serious AspectMore Troops to Scene. MADRID, Oct. 29. General Velasco. the military commandant at Bilbao-; ; tele graphs the government that at daybreak this morning the garris,on opened all strategic positions with a view of pro tecting the banks, public buildings, fac tories and markets and especially the re ligious houses which the rioters deter mined to attack. General Velasco reports that the cav alry repeatedly charged the rioters, some of whom were killed and many wounded. Revolvers and stones and other missiles. General Velasco adds, were usedj by the rioters In their struggle with the soldiers. The principal railways are under the pro tection of the troops. Trains continue to run, though with extreme caution. All other traffic in and outside Bilbao has been stopped. The military forces are considered sufficient to check Incendiar ism and attacks on property, but both garrison and police are kept constantly on the alert to prevent fresh outbreaks. It Is believed here that the movement in and around Bilbao is assuming the pro portions of a social revolution planned by socialists and anarchists as was done in Bcrcelona two years ago. Premier Villa verde has determined to establish order at any cost.' Newspaper reports of the disorder In Bilbao represent the strikers as having established a reign of terror. This morn ing they attacked and pillaged market stalls and shops and gorged themselves with food and drink. After destroying what they were unable to consume they proceeded to erect barricades In the streets. As there were only 5000 troops in Bilbao reinforcements were urgently slim-, moncd. The Infantry charged a number ot the barricades; the strikers defended them with reckless courage and desperate fighting ensued. Five rioters were killed and many were wounded. It Is rumored that many soldiers were wounded by re volver shots. According to the latest accounts received here, the rioters have again started to pillage shops and are endeavoring to raise new barricades. Some fears are entertained that the rioters will unite in .force and attack the troops before rein forcements arrive. A ministerial Council held tonight dis cussed the events in Bilbao and urged various measures to restore tranquility. The hope is expressed that the Captain General of the Province, who has been sent to Bilbao, will be able to reconcile the conflicting Interests ot the working men and their employers. LECTURES THE. JAPANESE. Russian Paper Tells Why They Can not Succeed in Corea. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2S. A dispatch from Port Arthur savs the Novykral, a newspaper edited by a member of Viceroy Alexieff's staff, after reiterating the asser tion that "the Russian troops will re main in Manchuria until far Eastern af fairs are settled In accordance with Rus sian views," proceeds outspokenly to lec ture the Japanese, necessarily with the approval of the Russian censorship. "Now," says the Novykral. "Is precisely the proper moment for Russia to establish a political equilibrium In the East. The Japanese have failed In Formosa because they do not understand how to colonize. The efforts of the Japanese to obtain set tlements In Corea, having their own juris diction, would lead to tho subjection of the Coreans and Impair the sovereignty of Corea. Japan has not attained the status of a European state and cannot be en trusted with the right of the European pioneers of civilization. On the continent all that can be tolerated Is the Immigra tion of Japanase Into Corea under guard." Conservatives Are Re-elected. LONDON, Oct. 2S.
