LIVERED IN LOAD OF COAL
MEMPHIS ; ' MED .SO X WM DIXIE 'SEMEi
New Tork N. Y Sept. 21 Consid-
erable excitement was can Bed In the
manufacturing district of New Tork
Saturday by the finding? of a bomb
In the coal delivered to the manufacturing-
plant of the Pace Phono-
graph Coroporatlon. makers of Black
Swan Records at Meadow and Creek
streets. Long Island City. The bomb
was of the shrapnel type heavily
loaded and capped and capable of
blowing: up the entlr plant. The fire
man (Uncovered tho ibomb after it
was in . his shovel and Just as he
was about to plunge It Into the fur-
nace. A moment later and there would
have been an explosion that would
have wrecked the boilers and dam-
aged the plant probably killing or In-
juring some of the twenty-five emr
ployees working there.
Investigation was made by the Bomb
Squad of the Police Department. Just
where the bomb came from could not
be ascertained ag the Pace Phono-
graph Company uses nearly thirty
tons of coal a month and deliveries
are being made almost dally and
each coal company had Just delivered
several tons of coal .
It Is presumed that the bomb was
put Into the coal by some one con-
nected with the miner's strike. The
officials of the company were slurri-
ed at first lest it were the work of
competitors who were seeking to de-
stroy their business in Black Swan
Records.
The Dally News carried a picture of
the Bomb which waa of an unusually
large size.
