COURTS ARE ADJOURNED Streets Roped Off While Police with "Billy" Conquer Him and Put Out Blaze. LOS ANGELES, Nov.

19. Armed with an infernal machine containing enough dynamite to destroy an entire city block, a bottle of nitro glycerin and a 45 calibre revolver, a masked nian took possession of the central police station today and held it for more than an hour, while hundreds of occupants of the building and those for blocks around, panic stricken, sought safety in distance. When Detective James knocked the man unconscious with a "billy," after slipping up behind Him, the fuse of the machine was automatically ignited, but Detective Samuel L. Bjowne grabbed the box, with its fuse sharply spluttering, and hurled it into the street. SticEs of dynamite scattered over the pavement, while hundreds of spectators stood apparently paralyzed by the fright.

Through a freak of chance there was no explosion, and Brown continued kicking the dvna mite and jumping on the fuse uni.il he had broken the connection and extinguished the fire. Manacled to a cot 'n a hospital to day, the would be dynamiter, who gave his name as Albert Henry Davie, is suffering with several severe scalp wounds. His are not serious. Tied on His Back. Davis entered the outer office of Chlef of Police Sebastian this forenoon.

His face and head were covered with a grotesque mask and he carried In his arms a large box covered with cloth. The box was strapped around his shoulders and resembled a small hand organ. Amused by the strange spectacle, Police Sergeant Hilf, who suspected a practical joke, asked the man what he wanted. Tve got enough dynamite In here to blow us alt into eternity," he said, "and I want you send fo rthe highest official of the Southern Pacific railroad." The visitor rested the box on a filing cabinet and Assistant District Attorney Graham, who was in the office, started joking with him. "This is no joke," said Davis.

A woman who saw part of the trage dy on Greenwood Lake last July when Mrs. Rosa Menschik Szabo lost her life, testified for the state today at the trial of Burton W. Gibson, the New York lawyer accused of murdering Mrs. Szabo, his client. This witness, Mrs.

Emma Benninger, of Paterson, N. trained her opera glasses on Gibson as he was struggling in the water off shore, and says she saw the tT'agedy In part through the lenses. "I heard Mr. Gibson shout," Mrs. Benninger said, "and from my porch I could make out that he was overboard.

The boat waB drifting slowly, right side up. I could see him swimming towards it. I ran to the hall and got my openTgiasses" and looked at him through them. "When I got them adjusted, a few seconds later, he had reached the boat and was clinging to it The boat had been turned over during the time it took me to get the glasses." "Was Gibson still wearing the shirt of his bathing suit?" asked District Attorney Rogers. "He was; I could see quite plainly.

I saw the motor boat Torpedo coming towards him." Sometime bet ween the moments Mrs. Benninger lowered her glasses and on the arrival of the Torpedo at tne scene or the tragedy, some 600 feet ui utui, uiums vi me leBuiuuny, Gibson lost the shirt to his bathing suit. William Komp, boatman of the Torpedo testified that when he rescued Gibson the latter wore no shirt. The defense has contended that the shirt was torn from his back by Mrs. Szabo as she struggled with him under water.

Counsel for Gibson indicated a possible theory of the defense to offset medical testimony that Mrs. Szabo died of strangulation by force applied to her throat from without, when he questioned Cornelius the undertaker who claimed the body. "You had to twist this women's neck and raise her head, in preparing the body, didn't you?" he asked. Lazier said he had twisted the head around and had raised it two inches or more. He had to use considerable force in doing so, he declared, as tne body was rigid.

Fifteen witnesses took the stand today. Most of them testified as to the location of and incidents attendant upon the tragedy. MAN WHO SHOT 'TEDDY' INSANE, SAY ALIENISTS MILWAUKEE, Nov. 19. John Schrank Is insane.

"You have testified here, that the ovlat ino a fa rn nnthfanUa frrt 1 has been in existence for about fifteen said the former governor. "Have not conditions changed sufficiently in that, time to. a revision of the Mr. Crossley said he believed not. "Well, now, let's see," continued Mr.

Pennypacker. "The' size of. cars has increased, the size of engines has increased, the weight of rails and consequent power, safety and stability of the tracks has increased; mileage has decreased, due to the elimination of curves; grades have been lessened; or abolished; freight traffic increased; methods of handling it have been improved. All of these, you say, enter into the making of a freight rate. And yet, with all these changes, you think there has been no cause for a revision of rates?" Mr.

Crossley began an explanation, but Mr. Pennypacker interrupted him witn "You can answer that yes' or no." "No, I do not," said Mr. Crossley. "You say that a freight rate is In creased by the necessity for picking up cars nere ana mere in order to make up a train. Since the present freight rate was established, your company has established distribution yards to facilitate the making up of trains.

It seems to me that is another thing that should affect consideration of the rate." "That is true, but your honor must remember that all these things were done at an enormous cost." A T. Dice, general manager of Philadelphia and Reading railroad was among the other witnesses examined today. He explained the routes and all other Items which go to make up a freight rate. Enoch T.

EUROPEAN DIFFICULTY IS BECOMING MORE SERIOUS LONDON, Nov. 19. The report that an armistice had had been agreed to by the Bulgarians and Turks along the Tchatalja lines for the burial of the dead appears to have been unfounded. Dispatches from Nazlm Pasha, the Turkish comander Is chief show that the artillery duel continued throughout the day. The battle may be ended at any moment by Turkey accepting the allies' terms for armistice, which are saiA to include the surrender of the Tchatalja lines, Adrlanople.

The prospect of European dissensions arising out of the settlement of the numerous territorial claims to be arranged after the war becomes dally more menacing. Austria has not presented an actual ultimatum to Servtsh setting a time limit for a reply to certain inquiries which she has formulated, but at that the relations between the two countries are very strained, and Servla's evident intention to take Duraizo will be still another defiance of Austria. Both Austria and Russia are taking; measures so that they will be prepared for any eventuality. It Is re norted tonight from St. Petersburg that Russia Is purchasing several hundred guns abroad.

Awordlng to a dispatch from Belgrade, the 'disposition of Monastlr was not provided for by prior agreement by the allies, and likely will cause trouble.
