Henry Klotz, the “powder maniac,” ‘who now Mes at death's door in Ford- ham Hospital as the result of the ex- plosion of a bomb he had fashioned in bis home, No, 1332 Fulton avenue, the Bronx, yesterday, was just in the act of fitting the glazed paper cover of @ well known confectioner’s one-pound candy box over the top of the rough brown box containing his deadly ma- chine of death when the ignition of the oherge occurred. It was @ candy box dearing a eon- Yectioner’a name that contained the bomb that kilied Grace Walker a year ago lest month. It was a candy box that was delivered to Judge Rosalsky @ “month later and exploded in his rooms, ‘The same sized box, though bearing no confectioner’s name, carried the bomb that killed Mrs. Madeline Herrera in February. ‘The first story Klotz told the police, even though in fearful pain and deliev- “ing bimeelf to be near death, was that the had found a candy box in Crotona Park at One Hundred and Beventieth street and Boston road and had taken it home with him, where it had ex- ploded. Later he admitted having made "the bomb himself. The important evidence of the candy ‘ox cover was gleaned to-day by De- tectives Kennedy and Cayanaugh after long examination of Klotz's mother, Bhe said that when she rushed to her son's room, following the roar of the explosion, she found the paper box eheathing bearing the confectioner's ame partly pasted over the cover of an ordinary brown cardboard box and standing near @ broken mucilage bottle. One read seal, such as is used by the manufacturer of sweets whose name was on the paper, had already been stamped down on the side of the cover; the other hung partly mucilaged. The detectives now have the box cover and the paper sheathing, smeared with blood, upon which Klotz's finger prints “re plainly marked.

There will be little if any wind.

Bu- gene Poncelet, came into port this morn- ing, riding in through fair weather and a piping ‘reese out of the scurry and sloughs of a three-day storm, La France sailed from Havre a week ago to-day, and the interval was filled with incident. The great, four-stacked grey- pos- hound had one of the closest call sible from being cut down to the w: edge by a collision the second day out. Tho collision was avoided only by the coolness and promptness of Capt. Pon- celet, ‘The weather was thick. It had con- tinued so all day and at 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoon the Captain was on the bridge. Out of the muck and smother of an angry sea, with a heavy, overcast sky, loomed up a dig steamer not more than 600 yards distant on La France's starboard bow, She was head- ing straight for La France, shooting across her course, travelling in the ame direction. Capt. Poncelet sounded signals of dan- ger then announced with his siren that he was going to port. The wheel was’ thrown hard over and the great mass of steel was awinging around almost in a circle, Passengers on deck were but panic-stricken, their hearts in ti mouths, A collision seemed inevitable, But La France went around with a jerk that threw seasick passengers out of thelr berths. The two ships passed each other on @ straight cou but there was less than fifty yards of water, leas than quarter of @ ship's length, be- tween them, The other ship was the Campanelio of the Uranium Line, bound for New York by way of Halifax. The captains ex- changed compliments through me phones and each announced that all was well and proceeded on™his way. Two more days of violent weather were experienced, after which La France had comparatively smooth sailing, On board La France were Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. Their baby boy 1s at Richmond, just outside of London, and his mother sald she was very glad they had rot brought him, for the weather on La France was not calculated to rock lusty Mtle bo; sleep. But, the mother sald, the boy will be a passenger when they come over again in July, The present stay 1s to be for only ten days, Mr, Vanderbilt said he had merely run over ou a business visit.

Dr. John Winters Brannan, President of the Board of Trustees of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, stepped to the side of the operating table and announced to vice" that they should so closely follow Dwyer’s visit to the District-Attorney. The transfers were announced late yesterday afternoon while Dwyer was absent from his office in the West Sixty-eighth street station, He had not known that the transfers were to ‘be made nor had he asked for aix po- leemen detailed to him by the Com- missioner to take the places of some of the old men, The customary practice of allowing an inspector to plok his own confidential men was not followed in this case, District-Attorney Whitman would not comment on the transfers nor on the Commissioner's statement to-day. All he would say was that Inspector Dwyer has peen of great service to him, Inspector Dwyer, it was sald at Head- quarters, went to see the District-Attor- ney at Mr, Whitman's request. The In- spector conferred with the Commission- er for an hour and three-quarters this morning. At the close of the confer- ence it was announced that Dwyer was about to select commanding officers for @ new plainclothes staff to take the Place of two leutenants and a sergeant transferred last night by order of the Commissioner, WALDO NOT SATISFIED WITH DWYER’S FORMER STAFF.

In connection with the tranafer of all but six of Dwyer's plainclothes men, these x having been assigned to the inspector after Jan. 1, the Commissioner issued the following statement: “The men removed from plainclothes duty in the Fourth District under In- speotor Dwyer were removed for the wood of the service. Men attached to Inspector Dwyer's office have tly been the subjects of many accusations, “One has been dismissed from the department for endeavoring tu induce @ woman to employ 4 lawyer in whom he was interested.
