In reality it was a double \bdmb fastened together with strings and President Churchill of the Bourd and wire. It was composed of two packages, Wrapped in manila paper, each com- | posed of six sticks of dynamite and a quantity of rusty nuts and bolts, A detonating cap and « (use was at- tached to each of the bundles, which were firmly joined The explosive power of twelve sticks of dynamite ts terrific, and the bomb would have done vast damage if set off in @ location favorable to the destructive intent of its makers. The bomb was wrapped in Italian and English newspapers which were quite clean, It is belleved by the Police that {t was placed where it was found only « short time before the | Policemen happened along. The point where the bomb was found is in the heart of an Italian district in which bomb outrages, Black Hand extortions and murders have been so common as to scarcely excite comment. It is the custom of the ohildren of the neighborhood to build a big fire on the vacant lot every afternoon for the purpose of burning garbage and offal and had not the bomb been found by the policemen it would probably have been thrown Into a fire later. As it was equiped with two powder fuses and detonating caps, the chances are it would have exploded with deadly effect. The police do not believe that the maker, of the bomb Intended that it should harm the ohildren, atthough it is well known throughout the | neighborhood that the bonfire ia built lovery day. Lt is the police theory that some messenger was carrying the bomb from where It was made to where it was to be used and in taking @ short cut across the vacant lot he saw the policoman approaching and dropped it. a eehea CITY BUDGET FOR 1916 TO GO UP $17,000,000 Officials at City Hall Attribute the Increase to Carrying Charges and Direct State fax. Comptroller Prendergast reported to }the Board of Hstimavwe to-day that $54,842,188 of interest will be due on the city’s debt in 1916, This Is an | increase of $4,882,789 over 1915. About $42,270,984 of this total will have to be raised in the tax budget and $12,571,- | 253 will be derived from water rev- enues, rent from the subways anid from the general revenue fund. that owing to the increase in carrying charges and the direct State tax the 1916 budget will probably be some- where between 215,000,000 and $217,- 000,000, or $17,000,000 higher than this year. v Tt was said at the City Hall to-day | — ee NEW YORK, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, SOLDIERS WEPT AS THEY SHOT NURSE; (CALL MORE TROOPS GERMANS ADVANCE, TO HALT MEXICAN BUT SERBS REPORT RAIDS ON BORDER, 60,000 FOES LOST | Washington Suspects Ameri- 18 Hostile to Carranza Are Plotting With Bandits.

Following orders to troops now in Texas to move, Secretary of War Garrison called on Attorney General Gregory for secret service assistance and the Attorney General spent some time with President Wilson discussing the situation, Tull co-operation with the War and Treasury Departments was assured by Gregory Tt became an open secret in the course of the day that many Ad- ministration members believe there is more to the outbreaks along the bor- der than mere lawlessness on the part of a number of bandits; that the source of continued attacks may be found in Americana hostile to the recognition of Carranza and still hoping to bring about intervention If the outlaws now on the rampage have such inspiration, it is expected the Justice Department will be able to run down the conspirators, The secret service force on the border will be increased immediately—'‘as rapidly 4s the department's facilities permit,” was the statement following the At- torney General's talk with the Preal- dent The suspicion directed against Americans is that they have taken ad- vantage of the large number of Villa soldiers and Texas “bad men” now to be found along the Rio Grande and have supplied them with encourage- ment and funds for carrying on their plans, : The State Department to-day ad- vised Carranza of the border raids, but no representations insisting upon his remedying conditions were made, Carranza’s inability at present to act being recognized. OMoials explained to-day that the army was doing all it legaty could to check the border bandit raids. The situation, they said, was not a mili- tary but @ civil one under the juris- diction of Texas, Uniess the Gov- ernor should formally ask Federal intervention there is no authority for the establishment of @ military none and declaration of martial law, Many of the raiders live on the American side, officials believe, Anmy detach- ments guarding various towns may repel attacks but cannot go beyond that without additional authority, As iL ds the troops are acting beyond a rigid interpretation of their power in aiding in purault of raiders. War Department officials, however, will give every ponsible aid to the ctvil authorities in protecting towns and ranches. ~ Both Sides Claim Success in, the Northern Heights ot Balkan State.
