Attempt to Blow up Pittston Home Foiled By Neighbors' Alarm Police Find Fuse Attached to Burlap Bag Soaked With Gasotine After Early Morning FireEx plosion of Dynamite Cap Causes $500 Loss PITTSTON, July 2. An attempt to destroy an unoccupied double house at 17 and 19 Tompkins street, this city, at 2 o'clock this morning was frus trated, when dynamite cap, which had been placed In a builap bag soaked with gasoline exploded and arpuced neighbors. Alarm It Sounded The names spread quickly to other sections of the building and neighbors immediately telephoned an alarm.

The fire department responded and quickly extinguished the fire with chemicals. Fire Ohicf Emll Webber upon making an investigation found a long fuse, such a3 used by mine workers in discharging a blast In the mines. It led to the burlap bag which was soaked with gasoline, which leads the authorities to believe that the fire was of incendiary origin, and that the explosion heard by neighbors was a dynamite cap which the authorities think was at the end of the fuse. The damage is estimated at $500. Chief Webber amd Fire Marshal John Broske learned that a short time before the explosion a tourning car secretary of the Republican national stopped in front of the home "to is ENOOCH NlC0T(r4E NONE CIGAR fit TAtfCkl IkJTf ONAI LVl TO KILL 4 The committee on a plea of private business auto later headed south on Tompkins pressure.

He had heard "from many he said, that'the speech was being "misquoted and distorted" by opponents to his senatorial ambitious.

"I trust that those who speak about It will first read it and in their comments on what they are pleased to call the light wine and home brew plea, will include the fact that the' speech referred to the making of those beverages if nonintoxicating in fact, and nothing otherwise," he said. What Mr. Fort evidently was seeking to do was to pin the New Jersey primary campaign down to the flat question of repeal or retention of the Eighteenth amendment itself. He had not made that issu between himself and Ambassador Morrow and former Senator Frelinghuysen. he told his New Jersey listeners.

Both stood for repeal as did the third aspirant, Mr. Kelly, Fort declared, adding that there was no light wine and beer notion In volved. property damaged recently chsnged ownership and the present owner is believed by the authorities to be Louis Consargo, Mayfield.

of L. Delc gale After a motion to exonerate Stephen J. McDonald from affiliation with any alleged slander said to have been hurled at Frank E. Walsh had been overruled by the chair, an appeal front the chairman's decision on the motion failed by an overwhelming majoritf at the Scranton Central Labor unlou meeting last night in Regal hall. The motion was placed before the delegates by a representative of the Iron Workers' union, who urged that Inasmuch as Mr.

Walsh, secretary of the union, had been upheld by a spe cial Investigating committee, Mr. McDonald, business agent of the Steam Fitters' union and former president of the central body, should also be exonerated. McCrone Rules Motion "Out" In the brief but fiery debate that followed, Michael H. Kernan, business agent of the Street Car Men's union, and chairman of the investigating committee, declared himself as op posed to the motion on the grounds that with Mr. McDonald being unaffiliated with the central body the motion was not a part of its business.

Edward McCrone, president, after asserting that the affair should not be continued at meetings of the central body, then ruled the motion out of order. An appeal was made from the decision and with O. C. Skelton, vice president and business agent of the Drivers' and Chauffeurs' union, in the chair, a rising vote disclosed the two delegates from the Iron Workers' union as in favor of the appeal. Another brief attempt to bring the question before thCNsession was rapped "out of order" by Chairman McCrone.

The McDonald Walsh affair was brought to the attention of the central body about six weeks ago by Mr. Walsh, who charged that Mr. Mc Donald had been instrumental in circulating a rumor alleging that Mr. Walsh had informed an executive of the First National bank that the bank's construction Job would be con sidered union regardless of whether or not the iron work was erected by union labor. Endorse John B.

Gallagher With the exception of the debate on the McDonald motion, the meeting of the central body was short lived, lasting less than seventy five minutes.
