HEW YORK THROWS BOMBS AS PASTIME FOR TRIVIAL CAUSE Even " Joes" Selling Ice in Apartment Houses Subject to Attacks by Followers of Sport.

WIDOW OF

TRUE TO

BANDIT

HUSBAND

NEW YORK, July 15. "When in Rome do as the Romans do." When in New York throw bombs. That is the only way to keep even with the game. A New Yorker must get acclimated to bombs and bomb throwing, bomb factories and premature bomb explosions. You may not believe this because you do not live In New York, but let me remark right here that the center ot the bomb zone hereabouts Is the marble and gilt police headquarters, home of a thousand anti-bomb enthusiasts, at Centre and Breome streets, and there la no palace so exalted nor homo so humble that the bomb, like the useless Christmas gift, is unknown. I live in an elevator apartment much better than I can afford on Washington Hfltrhta and I congratulated myself

that the altitude was too great for

bombs. But I was self-deluded.

New York apartment houses are, or

should be, celebrated for the mosi exluxuries and the most atrocious

cruelties of civilization on the face of

the twentieth century earth. Get Ice Everywhere.

One of the most amusing institutions

of apartment houses is the purchase of ice. Ice 1b like chewing gum and almond chocolate bars in Manhattan,

dispensed everywhere. Some one has spoken of an "ice trust"; I could never

find this benincent institution, u it Is still struggling along it has my moral support. But all the ice I could ever locate was in the possession of certain Calabrians and Sicilians with wide grins and large earnings, who dwell in cellars and are uniformly named "Joe". The "Joes" had a monopoly of our apartment. There was Bharp rivalry between them, but nt never took the for mor price-cutting. There would come a heavy buzz at the dumbwaiter. "This Is the ice-man. Any ice today?" "Yes, Joe, ten cent piece." A few minutes later another buzz at the dumb-waiter and up it would come, a pitiful little chunk wiggling geakly back and forth on the creaking dumb-waiter, and so obviously on its last legs that one thrust it hastily into the refrigerator for fear it might die in transit. "Ten cent piece" meant that amount which a tenth part of a dollar would buy at the current retail price for ice. So the theory if one stopped to reason. Few did that. One shouted: Ice With Apologies. "Give me a decent piece this time, Joe. that last was terrible." Then would come up a fairly respectable piece with profuse Neapolitan apologies, but the next day ice would be back to its old basis. Then something drrodful happened.

Our superintendent janitor is now obsolete went about denouncing the "Joes" as thieves and all the tenants were so wrought up that they finally consented to take Ice from "Mr. John" thus the regular Btyle of the New

York apartment house superinten

dents. The "Joes" were barred from

the basement where they had flourished fifty-two weeks of the year among

the feet of the dumb-waiters; and

"Mr. John" started his service of ice, giving perhaps slightly fatter hunks

than did the Calabrians, but generos ity is characteristic of new mercantile enterprises. "Bang!"

Our dreams of being outside the New York bomb zone were shattered.

Considerable smoke was issuing from the basement and scouting parties

told us that Mr. Johns department of ice was wrecked. We all informed

the police. It was. an outrage, of course, and there was an "investiga

tion". "Bang!"

This time in the middle of the night

Many of the more temperamental ten

ants troop to the fire escapes in pa-

Jamas and what nots.

Windows in the basement positively broken and by an Italian bomb. One woman whispered to me with tears in hor eyes that she considered it as much a disgrace to be plagued with

that widely disseminated human com

panion of the night season, which one never names but frequently pursues. Just at present we are awaiting

Bomb No. 3." This is bound to be a good one, I am assured by experts on

the subject.

here were in the year 1913, according to the police records, slightly

more than 100 bombs exploded in

Greater New York. I can assure you this is a gross underestimate. It does

a grent injustice to the latest metro-

politan pasttime. Bomb thrwing is th.e greatest gift which the men from

Sunny Italy have brought to the West

ern World, and It should have a fair show. Kvery month the police finally crush the "bomb trust", discover and bring into court the central factory of all metropolitan bomb throwers, and arrest and extract confessions from

bomb planters by the dozen.

NEW ORLEANS, July 15. Mrs.

Charles W. Prater, 19 years old, widow of Charles Prater, alias Craven, the

notorious train robber and bandit, who was killed in a battle with offi

cers near Wildwood, Florida, about

five months ago, was arrested here today after eluding the police of ten cities who sought to force her to reveal the hiding place of nearly f 60,000 in cash and jewels which she was alleged to have buried in the outskirts of Savannah. "Kill me, if you wish, but I won't tell," she screamed at detectives after being taken from a fashionable hotel. She was recenly in Atlanta and although the police established a cordon around her house, she escaped. She married Prater 18 months ago in Norfolk, Va., under the belief that he was a business man but stuck to him after learning that he was a bandit.
