Exploding in tho hallway of the largo five story tenement house at 405 East Twenty-ninth street, Manhattan, earlv this morning, a dynamite bomb tore hole 18 Inches across in the floor of the hallway, blew one of the front doorfc across the street and broke almost every window in the house. Although a number of persons sleeping In.

til house wen thrown from their beds, no one was injured. After an investigation, the polleo it as their opinion the bomb had been placed in the hall to frighten, if not to injur-, Pietro Onarato. a coal dealer, who lives on the second floor of the house. Several months ago, Onaralo got a letter signed by the "Black iu which the writers stated that they were aware of the fact that Onarato had made a great deal of mouey from his business and was wealthy. The letter demanded that tho coal dealer place $1,000 In a papsr, go to Fort George anil turn the package over to a man who would say, "Have you a Hah?" Instead, Ona rato went to Police Headquarters.

Then followed by a detective and with sonic green paper wrapped in a paper, he won to Fort George. But the man who was to collect the money did not show up. On December Jij. Onarato got anothei letter, evidently from the same writers This letter told hiin to take a Twenty-third street car, go to Brooklyn to a Williamsburg Cemetery and place the $1,000 on a certain grave. "You know which grave," the letter said.

Onarato lately had a friend buried in the cemetery. On this occasion the coal dealci paid no attention to Iho letter. The lot tor stipulated that If he did not put th. money on the grave hn could expect a dynamite bomb about January 14. Ona rato has no doubt that this morning's explosion was either by way of a gontle reminder to him pr else a deliberate at tempt to kill him, regardless of who else might be killed or Injured.

Tho dynamite bomb was placed at the foot of the stairs leading to tho second floor, where Onarato lived. Everyone in tho house was aroused by the force of the explosion and ran screaming from the place in night attire. Only tho hallway was damaged to the extent of about $300. District Attorney Jerome was asked today if he had anything to add to his statement of last evening relative to the relations between his office and that of Police Commissioner Bingham. He replied: "Well, I am only sorry that I forgot to mention about the 'Nine Doga of That was all he would venture, except to eay that the situation had not changed In the slightest and his attitude toward his men was the same aa when he gave out his previous statement.

Police Commissioner Bingham made his answer to District Attorney Jerome this afternoon in the following statement: "The district attorney's intention and desire to help is greatly appreciated. It Is wise, however, for certain changes in present conditions to bo made and the proper co-operation between the district attorney's office and the police department will soon be adjusted on a rational and legal basis. "Bless Jerome's heart! He Is a fine fellow but he's got the notion that everybody Is 'conned' but himself. His fine sense of loyalty carries him too (ar. Charges such as he and I know about ought to be carefully examined and tested In public.

No matter whom they may seem to threaten." "That Is all I have to say," said Bingham as he gave the reporters the typewritten statement. "How about your 'boy asked the reporters. "Oh," said Bingham, "I will take care of them." Bingham was told of the report that Jerome would be a witness In behalf of Wasserman. "So I understand," said Bingham. "My intention Is to bring out every scintilla of evidence." "You had Inspector Burfeind before you yesterday?" queried the reporters.

"Yes, I did," Bald Bingham, "but his appearance had nothing to do with the question." "Is it a fact that you had a dozen of your men trailing Jerome's "Well, I'll say nothing about that," said Bingham. "Did you see the map Jerome made out showing gambling and disorderly houses on the East Side?" asked the reporters. "Oh, yes, I saw that map," said the commissioner. "We have maps albo of such places." "The district attorney says the Police Department is not Improving, but, on the contrary put in a newspaper man. 'I have nothing to say," said the com-misssioner.

"Will you take the same stand as Jor-ome is taking; that is, standing by his Inen?" "I have nothing to say," said Bingham. You know Jerome and you know me." Sergeant Joseph A.

Dr. Mary M. Crawford, the youn? woman surgeon attached to the Williamsburg Hospital, experienced her first ride oa the tail end of a rattling ambulance last night, when. In company with Dr. H.

L. Barnes, tbe regular ambulance surgeon, she responded to a hurry call turned in form the Grcenpoint section by tho police. Dr. Crawford's present position on tho hospital staff is that of assistant house surgeon, or interne. While her duties kept her fully occupied, nothing of an exciting nature occurred until the call for the ambulance came.

During the day Dr. Crawford witnessed several and showed that she Is possessed of necessary nerve to withstand the unpleasantness of general hospital work. She wore a neat fitting tailor made suit with a short skirt, probably about five inches from the floor. She assisted at the operations and at other times was In the laboratory, preparing prescriptions for the various patients. Her presence the midst of tho surgical staff mada 110 unusual stir.

The entire staff, together with the attending physicians, liavo accepted Dr. Crawford in her capac-ty as a physician and have given her the right hand of fellowship. Dr. Crawford was thoroughly delighted vlth her first day's experience and last night she was ready for any emergency. She appears to bo She bad just concluded a round of visits to the patients in the hospital last evening when tho call for an ambulanco and physicians came through the police.

The call came from the Greenpoint car barns and the supposition was that thoro had been a trolley accident. The call for "physicians" caused Dr. names to remark despairingly that ha was alone. On Iho alert, Dr. Crawford overheard the remark and unhesitatingly replied that she was "game," in answor Dr.

Barnes' glance of inquiry. Seizing a cap bearing in gold loiters "ambulancw surgeon" belonging to Dr. Dangler, sho Jammed it In a rakish manner on br head and JabLed In a couple of hat pln3. to keep it in place She hastily donned a long rain coat which reached below aud she was ready for her first adventure. Dr.

Barnes preceded her down the hospital steps to the ambulance in waiting before the door. She was also provided with a grip. Her sox would scarcely have been noticed but for her light hair, gathered in a knot at the back of her shapely head. She declined the proffered aid of Dr. Barnes, but seized the heavy strap with a light spring, swung herself over tho rear end of the vehicle and took a firm seat on the padded bench In tho rear.

She clung to the strap with a strong grip aa the driver whipped the horse Into a gallop. Tbe vehicle Jolted over tho ruts and turned In and out. of tha railroad tracks along Bedford avenue In the direction of Greenpoint. Sometimes it swayed In an alarming manner, but Dr. Crawford gritted her teeth and, as Dr.

Barnes proudly remarked later, "never turned a hair." As the ambulance reached Grand street it narrowly missed a car, but this little incident only brought 11 slight, smile to Or. Crawford's lips. The ride, however, brought, color tn her cheeks, although she was eonl and calm when the ambulance brought up with a jerk In front of the ear barns, where was assembled a large number of molornien and conductors of the railroad company. Without looking to the right or left Dr. Crawford, aware she was an object of curiosity, followed close lifter Dr.

Barnes, who, by the way, was also enjoying his first day's experience on tho ambulance. The case proved to be that of John Srhrenk. who had fallen from a window of his home, at 1143 Manhattan avenue, adjoining the ear barns. The man had sustained a severe laceration of the scalp and another of the arm. Dr.

Barnes dressed the scalp wound while Dr. Crawford attended tn Hie arm. Her deftness was commented upon by those who stood about and watched her. When Schrenk was patched up he was assisted to his home and the ambulance returued to the hospital at a slower pace. Dr.

Crawford, when asked how sho liked her first experience, described It as great. Dr. Barnes, In speaking fur Dr. Crawford, said that she was Just as cool and collected on her return as sho as before she started. Boyertown Will Buy Eight Lots for Burial of Unidentified Dead.

January 16 State Controller Martin J. Glynn, through his attorney in Nassau County, Lawyer Henry P.

Kleth, has filed objections In the Nassau County Surrogate's Court to the accounting filed by James Clinch Smith as executor of the estate of the late Cornelia Stewart Merrilon, alleging that the accounting Is erroneous, in that there la a difference, amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, between the amount of the estate as given in the affidavit of the executor and the report on the transfer tax and the report filed by the appraisers, Supervisor Smith Cox and George H. Baukney. It is alleged that the difference is not accounted for by the executor, and that no transfer tax has been paid on the Increase. The matter will come up before Surrogate Jackson on Wednesday next. The personal estate, as shown by the Beer has been advanced in price to the liquor dealers, and there is muttering In German expletives all over the city.

The slowly rising wrath of tho saloon keepers has been coming to a head since the announcement was mado to them by the brewers, and It will find vigorous expression this afternoon at the Palm Garden, at Hamburg and Greene avenues. This meeting, which will bo hold under the auspices of the Wine, Beer and Liquor Dealers' Association of tho Eastern District, is to make formal protest against the increased price of beer. The call for the meeting, which has been sent out broadcast over tho entire city, states that tho association considers tho increase of the price of beer unwarranted, and that in consequence It will deprive tho dealers of a livelihood. In confidence, however, the dealers admit that they believe there Is no remedy to be expected from the brewers. "Ach Gott!" said one of them, "It is the poor people who will have to pay.

No more will It be beer for ten cents a pint, but twelve cents they will have to pay. Rahla Strathyre, from New York. DeUsroa Bay Corfe Castle, from New York. Sailed From Foreign Porta To-day. Manchester Asuncion de I.arrlnaga, for New York.

Because of the condition of most of the bodies the borough authorities have asked the bereaved relatives to bury the dead within three days. All night long scores of men worked In the morgue preparing the Identified bodies for removal to their late homes or to the cemetery. As early as 5 o'clock a long line of death wagons moved here and there about the town distributing the corpses, and before nightfall most of the dead will be ready for Interment.

There was a slight hitch In the work of removing remains from tho morgues through the action of Strassor forbidding tho removal of any bodies during his absenco. This was due to a mix-up In the Identification of the body of a boy. There were three claimants for the body, and all appeared before the Coroner for permission to remove the remains. Each one was positive that the body was the one they were looking for. F.

L. Grant, president of tho Hamilton Bank, to-day Issued tho following circular letter: "To the depositors and friends of Hamilton Bank of Now York City: On Monday, January 20, 1908. at 10 o'clock, the Hamilton Bank will reopen for business. The significance of this statement can only be appreciated when it is taken in conjunction with a review of the fiery trial through which this bank has passed during the last two months. For a bank to have actually been In the hands of a receiver, to have been searchingly examined by the receiver's examiners, to have been declared solvent by the Supreme Court of ills state after a lengthy examination, to have been then re-examined by the state banking authorities and a corps of experts and finally to have been approved as thoroughly solvent, with a handsome surplus besides.

Is indeed a badge of character which any institution may be proud to wear. The incidents leading to the temporary closing of tho bank are too familiar to need repetition here! nothing less than cash representing the total amount of tho deposits of the bank at tho timo the run commenced would have sufficed to have kept the tank open and. as you know, no bank keeps Its deposits all In cash on hand; that's not what the bank Is for. Tho Hamll'on bank reopens under the most auspicious circumstances It hus a board of directors of men eminently fitted to tako care of its destiny; its stock is held in strong hands and It has ample financial support. To make the Hamilton Bank a great Institution is the aim and object of the new management.

When the trials were called Assistant District Attorney Smyth and Abraham Levy appeared as counsel. Deputy Commissioner Hansen, turning toward Wasserman, said: "Wasserman, under the charter you have a right to have your trial in Kings County.

Do you waive that right?" "I refuse to waive a single right I have under the law," replied the sergeant. Mr. Smyth then addressing the trial commissioner, said: "I represent the district attorney and I am associate counsel with Mr. Levy. I advise this defendant not to plead." 'Well, how do you plead?" Wasserman was asked by Mr.

Hansen. "I refuse to answer by advice of coua- sel," replied the sergeant. "Is Mr. Jerome going to appear here in his official or private capacity?" asked Mr. Hansen of Mr.

Smyth. his private capacity," replied the assistant district attorney. "Then I'll postpone these cases until a week from next Saturday," said the trial commissioner, and the cases went over until January 25. report of Executor Smith, amounts to J9S1.31S.18, while the report of the appraisers makes the personal estate $1,348,238.94, an Increase over the executor's estimate of $366,925.76.

They say that the price of labor and materials has increased, and they are obliged to charge the dealers more. Some brewers have raised the price 50 cents per barrel and others one dollar, which is 25 cents per keg. The average charge for a barrel will be $9, instead of $8. This leaves out the commissions given to dealers, which run from ten to forty per cent, and which are based upon the volume of trade and other local conditions. "We will vote against the Increased price, Ach Gott, yes," said a prominent dealer in the Eastern District; "Dut what good will it do? The brewers are all together, and we can't get beer from any one else.

If we go to a brewer who Is not supplying us, and tell him we will give him our custom if he will sell cheaper, be will ask us who is supplying us. Then ho will say that he is sorry, but he cannot take our business." Deducting all commissions and rebates, NOTABLES BEFORE JURY. TEACHEBS GET TOGETHER. Dr. John D.

Burgess Kohlcr learned of this and Immediately communicated with the Coroner at Reading, where he had gone on business in connection with his office. When it was explained that people who had positively identified their dead wanted the remains and that bodies in dispute would be held, the Coroner rescinded hiB order.

Since then the relief committee working in conjunction with relatives has removed more than fifty bodies from the morgues. It Is a common sight to soe men carrying through the streets charred bodies on boards covered by a blanket or quilt. More than sixty death certificates were Issued up to 10 A.M., and most of these bodies will be burled during tho day, most of them without any funeral ceremonies. There is not a clergyman in town able to conduct services. There will be no services in the Lutheran Church, Sunday.

The Rev. Adam Weber, who lost a daughter, is still prostrated. The remains of his child were removed to his home last night. The body will be interred at Bcrnville, this afternoon. It rained slightly this morning, and there was a little fall of snow, but this did not deter tho work of digging graves.

A force of men started to dig graves in Falrvlew and Union Cemeterlos this morning, and they will be relieved at intervals. The borough has decided to buy eight lots for tho burial of the unidentified dead. In the center of tho plot sufficient space will be left for the erection of a monument.

There are about 400 glasses In a barrel, which leaves a fair profit when sold by the glass. Rut it Is the "pint of beer" that will contract In size, i or carry more froth, or increase in price. Tho leading dealers are divided over the question as to whether to increase the price or standardize the "pint." i One of the most prominent liquor men in Brooklyn advocates a uniform pint, to be sold by weight, instead of "anything at all up to one-half a gallon."

Important witnesses were summoned for to-day before the Queens County Grand Jury, which is investigating the Kissena Park land purchase. There was no session yesterday. Nathan Vidaver, the special deputy attorney general, was on hand early this morning. He got to the meeting place ahead of probably a majority of the members of the Jury, and was ready for the day's business when the jurors had assembled.

The list of witnesses Is an interesting one. considering that at least one of them has never before appeared as a witness in the park matter. Here is the list of those down to appear to-day as given out by Mr. Vidaver: Mrs. Joseph Bermel, wife of Borough President Joseph Bermel, with her bank books; John W.

Paris of the real estate firm of Paris MacDougal, with more than an armful of books and official looking papers; Herman A. Metz, controller of the city, without records, but with a willingness to tell his office end of the story; Jacob Haubell, proprietor of the Fountain House, in Flushing, and one of those who has testified before. Mr. Paris arrived In an automobile, and It was said that bis chauffeur assisted in transferring the books and papers from the automobile to the rooms assigned to witnesses. Controller Met did not make any noise when he arrived, and Mr.

Haubeil, all smiles, came in quietly. Mrs. Bermel was given a seat In a room where she would not be annoyed by the gaze of those having business In the building. The order in which the witnesses named will be called was not given out. W.

Lovett of North Tarrytown sane and competent to manage his large estate. The testimony of the physicians showed that Mr. Lovett, on account of sickness last year, temporarily lost his mind, and his relatives, fearing that he might squander his property, had him declared insane and confined In Bloomingdale. He has since recovered his reason and the Jury declared him sane In about fifteen minutes. clamoring for admittance.

The Association Of the Eastern District Is not connected with the United Retail Liquor Dealers of Kings County, but tho president of the latter association, A. 1. Newman, will be present at the meeting to-day and will urgo the consolidation of the two bodies. The Kings County elation Is taking no official action about the advance In beer, but Mr.

Newman expects to point out the Increased effectiveness which such a protest would have If the two organizations were one. Inquiry at the breweries this morning developed very little. Tho managers would give out no Information, and professed Ignorance of the action taken by their fellow brewers. They would not say that tbey had agreed to advance the price, nor that they would be present at the meeting of the liquor dealers. They are awaiting developments, and have nothing to say for publication.

Her apparent purpose is to Interest somebody in getting her out. At the close she eays that Lawyer George Gru of 26 Court street at one time acted as her attorney. "I remember the case very well," Mr. Gru said, "end It is an extremely sad one. Mrs.

Syperrick is the daughter of lespectable parents in the Red Hook section, where she was born. Her family name was Dillon.
