Publishers' Press. Philadelphia, Jan. 7. Leading officials of the Fourth street National Bank today questioned all employes in an effort to aid the detective in a quiet search which is going on for the accomplice or accomplices of Holla Steele, who threw a bomb in the bank on Saturday in an effort to carry through a tremendous robbery. They and the police . have become certain that Steele had at least one accomplice and that, besides being a

bigamist, he was a member of a band

of desperate men, professed anarchists, who would stop at no means to wrest money from banks, wee' thy men and the class generally, who they believed "owed them a living." Captain of Detectives Donaghy said tonight: "It is probable that Steele's feat has put us on the track of one of the most gigantic conspiracies of modern times. That is all I can say

now. He was a thief, an anarchist and a terrorist." E. F. Shanbacker, vice-president of the bank, carried on the personal investigation. "It is now certain," he said, "that

more than one man was concerned in the attack upon the banl:. We have learned that definitely. From what has

been found out regarding the bomb

thrower Steele I should say that the explosion was premature. It appears

to me that he must have taken the

bomb from his coat to throw it, and accidentally struck it against some

thing, for he knew too much about

explosives and their power to have purposely allowed the bomb to strike so near him as it did."

FLORENCE ROCKWELL, THE YOUNGEST JULIET. A noted phrenologist has declared that, In his opinion, Miss Florence Rockwell Is one of the most nearly perfect women, 'mentally and physically, that he has seen. Miss Rockwell is one of the younger American actresses. She Is the only one who played Juliet at the age of the Shakespearean heroine, fourteen years. Miss Rockwell was leading woman for Thomas W. Keene at that tender age' Since then she has been the leading support of a surprising array of stars, including Nat Goodwin, Henry Miller, Sol Smith Russell and Richard Mansfield. She began her stage career at the age of twelve.

Being friends with yourself Is a good example to your neighbors. If it were not for women what, excuse could men have for drowning their sorrows? Taste is possessed by most people, tut good taste is invariably your own. Imitation that doesn't Imitate la about as flat as flattery that doesn't patter. Most boys think that it Is a poor excuse of a lad that can't better his dad's knowledge. It depends upon which side of a mortgage you're on whether you think It a good or a bad tiling.

New York, Jan. 7. That the missing steamer Ponce is safe and being toyed to port is now the belief of. shipping men. She is eight days overdue, and since Dec. 2S not a word has come from her, yet her agents feel certain that she will turn up within the next twenty-four or forty-eight hours in tow.

The steamship Maracus, of the Trinidad Steamship company, which sailed from Granada, in the Island of Trinidad, Dec. 29, should have made this port yesterday morning, but up to date not a word has come from her. She comes over the same track as the Ponce, hence the belief that sh picked up the Ponce, and is now bringing her into port. It is not thought probable that two disasters could have occured along the same track within a few days. Nine ships that travel the same path as the Ponce arrived in port today from Southern and West Indian ports. None of them,, however, had spoken to the Ponce, but it is argued that the missing ship may have been blown out of her course, and yet have succeeded in communicating with the Maracas.

I make but one resolve this year. Now that the glad new day is here But one resolve, but that's a heap For some folks that 1 know to keep. And this one, though It may seem rash, I'll live up to, I'll bet my cash. It Is that no resolves I'll make Say, that's an easy one to take! Tears back I listed quite a few Of things I would no longer do. And with the year I would begin. I swore to chop out much of sin. To be a model for the young, My praises sung by .every tongue; Things that were naughty to leave out And give my wings a chance to sprout. Ah, well, you know how such thins last! It takes a hero to hold fast. Before the Ink is fairly dry A soft and soothing lullaby Has laid the best of them to sleep A sight to make the angels weep And there they sweetly snore away At peace until next New Year's day. The resolution not to smoke Is made no sooner than 'tis broke, -And that's a sample of the rest. The weak, indifferent and the best. They look all right and just about -The stuff until we try them out. And then their fall down we deplore And swear we will resolve no more.

Young men who attended the meeting of the Young Men's Y. M. C. A. committee last night pledged themselves to stand by the movement until success comes and showed a determination to see that it is made a success. Subscriptions picked up during the holidays amounted to $375, were turned in. The sentiment of the meeting was that every member of the committee'' should be urged to get busy. The Pogue-Miller committee of the industrial committee turned in $96, the Aftermath, $25, and the Uniform Rank. K. of P., $15, making the total subscriptions up to this time, $21,471. With the meeting of the committee last night the regular meetings in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. are again up. On Wednesday the business men's committee will meet at 7:30 p. m. at the same place and Fri

day evening the Ipdustrial commit

tee will meet In the same rooms at 7:30. It is the purpose, if possible, to push

the work by the Industrial committee

to a finish, and then ask this committee to merge with the young men's

committee, meeting with it and giv

ing all the help possible in a general cleaning up of the canvass near the

close. In the meantime the work on the business men's committee among the larger amounts will go quietly and

faithfully on.

The men on these various commit

tees are urged to remember that if

they have information cards in their pockets, no other persons will solicit those persons, and if a committee

man fails in his duty the work with those persons will not be done; hence

each man must look to his own end of the work. The committee on tickets for the

recent concert would like to have all

who have money and tickets to make their report to Howard Dill, at the water works office, as soon as possible.

How Ici'toergi Arte 'nam. The birth of a huge iceberg, a phenomenon that has been seen only once cr twice by a European and to a certain extent has remained a matter of theory, was observed by the Danish explorers on the east coast of Greenland some time since. The bergs are formed by breaking off from the end of glaciers extending from the perpetual ice of the unexplored interior to the coast and into the sea. The water buoys up the 6ea end of the glacier until it breaks by its own weight with a terrific crash. The commotion of the water as the iceberg turns over and over In the effort to attain its balance Is felt to a great distance along the coast. The natives regard it as the work of evil spirits and believe that to look upon the glacier In Its throes is death.

Question and Answer. When Nathan M. Morse was trying

"the Tuckerman will case before Judge

McKim, Dr. Jelley, the well known expert on Insanity, was one of the witnesses. One of the hypothetical questions asked of the witness by Mr. Morse contained no less than 20,000 words. The lawyer started this pithy question at the opening of court and closed only a few minutes prior to the noon adjournment. The point that Mr. Morse was endeavoring to bring out related to the mental condition of the testator when he made his will. This is said to have been the longest single interrogation ever made in a court of law, end the answer comprised just three words, "I do not." Boston Herald.

Publishers' Press. Wasnington, Jan. 7. Secretary Shaw ordered but two additional revenue cutters in search of the steamer Ponce, of the New York and Porto Rico Steamship company, seven days overdue at New York. The Seminole was started out from Charleston, S. C, and the Algonquin from Porto Rico. The Mohawk previously started from New York. The three revenue eutters will malte a search of the entire route of the steamer.

May Put Off Altogether. Toklo, Jan. 7. A feeling prevails Here in an influential circle that it would not be advlslble to include a eall at San Francisco in the cruise of the training squadron, at a time when anti-Japanese sentiment is rampaDt. The proposed visit may be indefinitely postponed.

Another Mexican Junta. Publishers' Press. San Antonio, Te.cas, Jan. 7. A Mexican revolutionary junta with a constitution similar to that existing in St. Louis was formed by prominent Mexicans of San Antonio, who constitute the Liberal party. Prominent among the more enthusiastic members Is Trinidad Garcia, one of the revolutionists discharged Saturday in the extradition proceedings icstituted by the Mexican government to secure extradition of th raiders of JImlnez.

HEWS OF THE THEATERS

Cambridge Guild Meeting. Cambridge City, Jan. 7. The Presbyterian Guild will meet with Mrs. F. ll. Ohmit, next Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 9. A full attendance is desired.

Vaudeville at the Phillips. Manager Murray has reason to be pleased with the bill that is mnlng at the new Phillips this week, n,; It measures up to expectations and to the minds of a number of people Is fully as good. If not better, than the popular one of last week. It should get the house another week of the most satisfactory business. The Burks John and Mao are headliners In their comedy skit. Mr. Burke is a trick piano player and the way he handles this instrument Is little short of the marvelous, while Mrs. Burke has a pleasing voice and Kings with sucess. Lillian Murtha, the little German garl, Js clever and her work takes well with the audiences. The Malverns, five in number, nio tumblers, and they are able to "mix" 'em up In the most approved style. The juvenile member of the troujo produces much amusement. Mr. Lankert sings with good results this weoic If My Dream "Come True," which is beautifully illustrated. Master Lavender Richardson, aged 10, is a most capable child actor, and with the remainder of his company presents "Brady's Boy," a domestic comedy, in an amusing way. The Phiioscope shows two of the latest motion plrtun? films, both of a comic nature. All told, it is a bill that is well w6rth seeing and worth much more than it costs to gain admission. Wednesday there will be a souvenir matinee, on Saturday a matinee for children. nd a double performance on Saturday night.
