The following is an extract from namnhlrt of directions found in Car- tone's room after he was arrested "When making bombs hire a room wi the top floor. The work should be done in a room well ventilated and t.rnvlHl with n coui bed. and fur nished In such a way that no one will see what you are doing there. The top floor is desirable because of the odors nH fumes that are produced at times - "The materials employed should be sufficiently pure. They may be louno at dealers in chemicals and pharmaceu ticai products. It Is well not to ry to ,'Knv all the stuff from the sanis mcr ; chant in order that he may not know .what vou wish to make. . "Above all. we recommend you never !to make experiments for the mere '. pleasure of making them. All you do ! bevond enouch is useless, stupid, and 'especially so when you have neither 'the practice nor the proper means for "making them. Mmplrat War I Advised. "As to the place to keep the dyna mite whv make it until wanted? Take hee.1 that amonsr the various bombs and explosives, etc., you always choose the cnes most easily used and most practical, remembering that it Is bet ter to do a little thing well than leave ,a hig thing half undone. ! "There are various receptacles for the reception of explosives that will burst into many pieces and scatter its power to wound in every direction. It i'liay have any shape, but the most ef fective is the spherical form. In order to make It explode properly you should adopt a fuse that will burn just fast enough to give time to reach safety .and burst at the right moment. This should be placed within the socket of the apparatus. The best metal is iron lor steel, though brass, copper and bronae will do. Last of all comes zinc or wood, when well bound together. Lead will not do at all." ! Novice Ueterts Plot. : An idea of the equal thoroughness of the precautions taken by the police may be had from the account of De tective Captain Tunney, who was put in charge of the anarchist squad. He told how he had chosen Detective Polignanl because he reeded a new man for this part of the work, and added: "That was last November, about. I can't tell you Just how he became Identified, "first, with the anarchists. But he was soon mixing with them at Hie Ferrar School in One Hundred and Sixth street, and also at No. 157 Bleecker street, where they also had 'meetings. Plowly ho became acquaint ed with various members of the groups, and finally he became, to all .intents and purposes, a full-fledged Anarchist himself. He operated under the name of Frank Baldo. ; . "This did not come about you under stand, until he had been fully tested, to see if he was all right. I can't tell you the tests he underwent, either, but there were individual tests wnicn two or three of them underwent, and at the end he subscribed to an Italian oath, which I can't go into. Oath Taken oa Dagger. "The man who snitches or squeals hall be cut to pieces!' That was the final agreement, and Polignanl and the other two cheerfully subscribed to it. ' "The oath was taken on an uplifted iasger." Polignanl became acquainted with Varbone. who had been assigned to do She work of destruction at the Ca thedral. He attended many anarchist Tneetinsts and became "solid" in the Sproup to which he was assigned. He nd Carbone and Abarno worked "to igether, the police say. So It was that nv'.ien the time camo for the big out break, detectives were on hand, the f hrel bomb did not explode and the plot tf raid the financial district was nipped In the bud. .'Inspector Kgan, of the Toliee Bureau ft .

LEGISLATIVE LIFE ACTIVE Aided in Pefeat First of Senator Dolpli in 189 5 and Then or Senator Mitchell in Session Two Vears Later. Bishop Henry L. Barkley, of the United Brethren Church, and 20 years ago prominent in the public affairs of Oregon, died at his home, S51 East Sixth street North, at 9 o clock last night, aged 56. Bishop Barkley had been ill for several months. He came into public prominence in 1894 while he was a minister Tjf the United Brethren Church at Woodburn, In which organization he was later made a bishop. He was at that time nominated and elected to the Legisla ture by the Republicans of Marion County. During the session of 1895 he was prominent in the organization which seceded from the caucus and brought about the defeat of 3. N. Dolph for Senator. The Marion County Repub lican convention of 1896 again nomi nated him and he was again elected to the Legislature. In the memorable "hold-up ses sion of 1897 Rev. Mr. Barkley became an influential figure. He allied him self with Joseph Simon and Jonathan Bourne for the defeat of Senator Mit chell, being followed by the Populists, Gold" Republicans and the Democrats.

Kansas has 2 per cent less acreage than last year, while Oklahoma and Texas increased 12 per cent and Ne braska 10.5 per cent over last year. The four states west of the Missouri River raised 302,000,000 bushels last year, setting a new record. It is ex pected that they will have about as much as last year, but Kansas crops are always uncertain, and while 176. 000,000 were raised last year, it will re quire perfect conditions to harvest lou 000.000 bushels this year. The entire Winter wheat belt had a good wetting down last week, most of the country west of .the Missouri, as well as that east, being covered with snow and some rain. The moisture sank into the ground and greatly bene fited the crops. Plowing for oats has begun in Okla homa, Southern Kansas, Southern Illi nois and Indiana. In the Southwest the oat acreage has been largely in creased and there is also a record acre age in oats all over the South, where the cfop outlook is fine.

The commission on religious prejudice appointed by the Knights of Columbus at the supreme convention in St. Paul in August, 1914, ended a two-days executive meeting here todays The chairman gave out the following statement today: "The commission has been investi gating the philosophy underlying the waves of religious bigotry with which the country is visited from time to time. We are gratified with the mag nificent support being shown by the general press throughout the country in condemning bigoted publications and their supporters. "As a result of its investigations the commission has reached the opinion that these bigoted attacks made on re ligion come largely from three classes: "First Those who fall to appreci ate the constitutional provision for freedom of religious worship or to understand the belief of those profess ing a religion other than their own. "Second Those whose purpose is to destroy, not only the Catholic religion, but all religion and all duly constituted government. "Third Perhaps the worst class com prises those who, despite their ex pressed motives of high purposes, are actuated solely by sordid mercenary conditions. "The commission invites the co-operation of societies and organizations of all religious beliefs to the end that the constitutional provision regarding free dom of religious worship may be under stood and upheld. "The commission will request the Postmaster-General to make a public statement regarding his position on thej exclusion of non-mailable matter, in! view of the decisions of the United States Courts apparently overlooked by him in his annual report." HARM IN TARIFF DENIED Kedfield Publishes Report Prepared to Defend Present Law. WASHINGTON. March 7. Results of the first investigation ordered by the Department of Commerce to determine the effect of the new tariff on indus try were made public tonight by Sec retary Kedfield. They are In the form of a "report by D. M. Barclay, commer cial agent of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, on industrial conditions in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in which Philadelphia is situated. The report showed, the Secretary said in a letter of transmittal to Presi dent Wilson, that the effect of the tar iff on manufacturing establishments of Montgomery County was negligible and that conditions complained of there were due to "injurious trade customs" and "unintelligent competition in some lines." Compared with 6390 employes in the 30 plants a year ago, at the time of the investigation, 4629 were employed.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children, Tti8 Kind Yea Hay 8 Always Bought St Signatur of First Chier Hopes to Force People Through Hunger to Enter Army. ' Americans Would Be Wel come If They Came. "WASHINGTON, March 7. The situa tion in Mexico City was described to night by. high officials here as exceed ingly serious. Starvation confronts the populace if General Obregon stays, it was reported, and rioting is said to be Imminent if he evacuates the city. There was some talk among diplomats of the possibility of intervention, per haps, by a coalition of South American powers, but this was discounted be cause of geographical and other obsta cles to a satisfactory plan of, pro cedure. At practically all the embassies and legations here dispatches that had been received up tonight from Mexico City told of a desperate condition of affairs, the story of which has been suppressed by the rigid censorship maintained at Vera Cruz by the Car ranza authorities. Bran Bread Sold nt High Price. Such dispatches as have recently gotten through say Mexico City is hungry and that starvation for thou sands would not be surprising if re lief does not come soon. Carranza's order to Obregon prohibiting the popu lace from using the money issued by Villa on his departure has made many people peniMess. Bread is almost unobtainable. Many bakeries are putting out bread made of bran, and extortionate prices are charged for it. Charcoal is used for cookiner- and is sold for 15 pesos sack, where it was formerly bought for one oeso. r Almost every train from Mexico City brings more refugees to Vera uruz. where the public learns of develop ments only through out - of - date American newspapers. Wild Rumors Are Spread. Rumors of the wildest character often sDread through Vera Cruz. Re cently there was a report that British marines had been landed at luxpam. Another was that the Washington uov ernment has sent an ultimatum to Carranza and still another that France and Great Britain were urging Spain into active intervention. MEXICO CITT, Feb. 15. Financial panic, wholesale bankruptcies, bread riots, no water, acute shortage of foodstuffs, plague and battles at the city gates for a week have followed the Carranzista occupation. Mexico Cltv is facinor municipal death. ( Starvation has goaded the masses of the capital to desperation. Only car ranzista bayonet-points have held them in leash. Demonstration after demon stration has been started, but each has been stifled at inception. Nullification of all Chihuahua money by Carranza has proved the most ter ri'ble of the series of unbearable bur dens forced upon natives and foreign era alike in the capital. Commercial and industrial houses throughout the city have permanently closed their doors. Fifty millions of worthless Chihuahua pesos are choking the business life out of the capital and the heart out of the people. People Die by Hundreds. Starvation 'and disease, resultant from lack of water and the Insanitary accompaniments, topping the acute shortage and attendant high prices of foodstuffs of every description, are killing off hundreds of persons each dav. Every backyard in the old quarter of the citv is a graveyard.; Corpses are buried in the nearest earth that will furnish a hole. There are no cof fins. Few get a rough box. Even dry goods boxes cost. The poor are absolutely penniless, No relief is in sight. Those who had a few pesos yesterday are- beggared to dav. Their Villa bills are worthless. Mexico City was deluged with this Daner. Fifty million pesos is a most conservative approximation. Not a man or woman who could call a peso his own was uncaught by the decree. The peons are d ing. Aulliflcntlon Decree Stands. General Alvaro Obregon, here, a wit ness to conditions, personally attempt ed to persuade Carranza to seek an other measure to crush Villa that would not strike so deadly a blow at the innocent. Carranza replied that the nullification decree would stand. That the people of Mexico City were forced by Villa to take Chinuanua money at bayonet points did not mat ter. That he had authorized the issue, even if only by no protestation did not matter. The poor, he said, would be relieved by establishment of charity stations. He has made beggars of men too proud to beg. The result is yet to be seen. The bread lines are yet to be established. Carranza's decree 'has not pnly af fected the capital. It has affected every city reoccupled by his forces in the south. Puebla and San Luis Potosi and a hundred cities of lesser impor tance are undergoing the same trying situation. Carranza had two objects in refusing to revalidate Chihuahua currency although there should never have even been the necessity of revalidation.

Paul C Yates LH.-VI'1ST Filth awl Uurrlaun, Opposite Post-office. s wished to destroy Villa's credit by making his paper worthless, or next to worthless, and at the same time force the masses b' starx'ation into the ranks of the army. This was fore shadowed here three days before proclamation of the nullification de cree, when one of his ministers made the statement that the time had passed when there could be a neutral element in Mexico. 99 Per' Cent Are Sick of War. Neither army, Villista or Carranzis ta, has enough troops to subjugate the nation. Carranza, apparently, has reached the same point of view. Carranza and Villa, instead of drop ping a war that 99 per cent of the people do not want, intend to force tne people to want it and to join in that war. Mexico, if this capital is the pulse of the nation, is not only sick of it all, but poisoned against the causes of it all. If the American troops were to have paraded down San Francisco street last night, when the money panic was at this height, they would have been received with acclaim and as liberators by the native population of the city. Had the masses been told that the private in the reaf rank of the Amer ican army of occupation received 130 pesos a month and the shoes on his feet, the uniform and equipment on his back, three meals a day and a place to 6leep at night had this occurred, 50,000 Mexicans wou.d have rioted around American enlistment offices. Stars and Stripes Welcome. If the American troops come into Mexico within the next six months, the American troopers will never have to move out of the larger cities. Mexi can constabulary under the Stars and Stripes will prove sufficient. Where Carranza or Villa raised an army of 60,000 Mexicans, the United States government can raise an army of 200, 000 within a month after occupation of the more important municipalities. Certainly there would be armed op position. But it would be such an opposition of a few anarchists, parad ing under the guise of patriots, as a steam roller would encounter in a mouse. Be it remembered to their credit that, though ignorant and barbarous, the Zapatistas worked less hardship upon the people when they were in sole possession of the capital than have either the Vlllistas or Carranzista forces. But their cause, too, is split by intriguing ambltlonists. Church Case Decree Due Today. The case brought by members of the old Taylor-Street Methodist Episco pal Church against the trustees of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, rel ative to the maintaining of a church at the old Taylor-street property, win come un this morning in Judge Gatens' court for the entering of the decree. This decree will complete the case insofar as Judge Gatens' court is concerned. The final hearing was held some days ago.
