When Detective James Hoslck knocked the man unconscious with leather billy after slipping behind him. the fuse of the Infernal machine was automatically Ignited, and without thinking of, the consequences. Detec tive Samuel L; Browne carried the box outside, the fuse special uttering and spitting sparks, and hurled It Into the street. Crowd Paralysed by Fright. Sticks of high-power dynamite scat tered over the pavement, while hun dreds of spectators stood apparently paralyzed by fright, awaiting a de tonatlon that would send them into eternity. Through a freak of chance there was no explosion and Browne continued kicking the sticks of dyna mite and jumping on the fuse until he had broken the connections and ex tinguished the fire.

SNAKES WORRY PRISONER Showman in Jail for "Bootlegging' Wants His Reptiles Xear. SrOKAJCE, Nov. 19. Although Alex ander Smith Is serving a sentence in the county Jail for the illegal selling of liquor, he is not afraid of snakes. In fact he wants three reptiles to share his cell with him. When Smith, who is a traveling showman, was sentenced for "boot legging," he was forced to leave three trained snakes with a friendly saloon keeper. Their absence preyed on his mind, and he asked that they be al lowed to share his cell. The saloon keeper seconded the request, as he said the snakes were damaglnsr his business. The Federal authorities de clared, however, that they could make no provision for the food and main tenance of snakes belonging to a Fed eral prisoner. IBe county jailer delivered jl firm ultimatum that no snakes would he housed in his jail at the exnense of the county.- The jailer was given three rousing cheers by other- Inmates of tne Jan when he announced his de cision.

Men Are Guilty of First Degree Murder. JURY IS OUT ONLY 20 MINUTES Convicted Quartet Hear Ver dict Without Flinching. 'GYP THE BLOOD" SULLEN Justice Goff Emphasizes Strong Points in Hose's Testimony and Calls Attention to Weak Spots in Gunmen's Evidence. NEW YORK. Nov. 19. "Gyp the Blood," "Lefty Louie," "Dago Frank" and "Whltey Lewis" killed Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, at the instiga tion of Charles Becker, and, like him, must pay the penalty of death in the electric chair. The Jury which has been hearing the evidence against the four gunmen so decided today when it returned against them a verdict of murder in the first degree after but 20 minutes of delib eration. The gunmen heard the verdict with out show of emotion. They stood at the bar, looking straight ahead as the foreman of the jury rose to make known the results of Its deliberations and they continued to stare stolidly in front of the bar until the formalities of the proceedings were concluded. Appeal Will Be Taken. Former Magistrate Charles Wahle counsel for the gunmen, announced that he would appeal from the verdict and, as in the case of Becker, months may elapse before their ultimate fate is determined. When the prisoners were remanded to their cells, in the Tombs, they turned and filed out of the courtroom with as firm a step as when they first entered. Whltey" Lewis he who was the most dramatic of the four when he testified on the witness-stand alone walked With head bowed. As they entered the door leading over the "Bridge of Sighs." "Gyp" said something to "Lefty" in a sullen under tone which none could hear. Outside "Lefty's" doll-faced wife wept on the shoulder of her husband's father, who vainly tried to comfort her. "Gyp's" wife, known as "Gyp's Lillian," received the news In the house of detention. The two other gunmen are unmarried. Discrepancies Are Noted. ( The final day of the trial opened with Justice Golfs charge to the jury, which occupied three hours. The charges emphasized many points in the testimony of the gunmen which the prosecution in its summing up had de clared were discrepancies, fatal to the credibility of their stories. "If the defendants' contention were true that Rose and his companions. Corporations Resorting to Extortion Threatened With Cancellation of License if They Delay. WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. Secretary of the Interior Fisher today flatly told water-power corporations holding licenses that they would be forced to grant reasonable rates to consumers re gardless of ancient contract rights to the contrary. This announcement, affecting many large interests In Western States, was made at the hearing on the regulations soon to govern water power on public domain in California. The regulations probably will be in force with only minor modifications suggested at the hearing and with the view to close co-operation between the Federal and state authorities of Cali fornia. Secretary Fisher said that, under the regulations, companies, which upon having their rates pronounced un reasonable by state authorities resort to Jockeying and delays in the courts, will have their licenses revoked. "After the state authorities," he said, "have decided it and the matter has gone clear through the State Supreme Court, then if you insist on your right of going into the Federal Courts with a bill of equity claiming confiscation the Interior Department will revoke your license. You say the matter of rates ought to be regulated by the state; very well, we will go the who route with you." (Concluded on Page 8.) INSPIRED BY THE DAIRY SHOW.

Munday, Democratic candidate for Congress from this dis trict, who was defeated for that high office by Albert Johnson, editor of the Grays Harbor Washlngtonian, at Ho qulam, has accepted the invitation of Mr. Johnson to attend the barbecue, which grew out of a wager made in this city while Mr. Johnson was on his campaign tour. Both Mr. Johnson arid Mr. Munday are from the South, and it was their hope that the barbecue could be of the old-fashioned open-air kind, where they kill a big beef steer, fatted for the purpose, and bake the carcass in a huge oven in the open, but the time of year has caused a change in the plans. The barbecue will be com posed of all kinds of shell fish, crabs, oysters, and all of the trimmings, and will be given by Mr. Johnson and his friends in Hoquiam, some time in Jan uary, while the Legislature is In ses sion. The exact date has not been settled, but it will be as soon as pos sible. Besides Mr. Munday, several others from Vancouver will go to Hoquiam tne guests of congressman-elect Johnson In January.
