WHEEIING w. Va SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL


verdict was an inexcusable miscarriage
OF justice.
The Anarchists of this city have sue
ceeded in distributing violent manlies-
toes among the soldiers in various bar
racks where, however, their tennets
find no acceptance.
Very, the restaurant proprietor who
narrowly escaped death the other day,
says he believes that a young woman
whom he is able to describe brought
the bomb by which his restaurant was
blown up. She carried basket which
she asked permission to leave behind
HIS counter while she made a call else
where. The explosion occurred few
moments after she left. A cab-man
testified he drove In his cab woman OF
the same description, together with
three men.
The recent dynamite ou.rages have
caused a fesling among the people that
despite the reiterated assurances OF the
authorities that not no trouble will occur
on May Day, the first OF May will wit
ness rioting and bloodshed, not only In
Paris, but also in the various labor
ing provinces throughout the country.
Notwithstanding the assertions that
Anarchists have no organization; that
each individual acts on his own respon-
sibility, the public generally point TO
the recent explosions and attempts 10
cause explosions as direct proof TO the
contrary, claiming that the whole series
OF outrages have been the work OF
regularly organized band OF Anarchists.
Though the authorities have repeat
eddy said that no trouble was anticl-
pated in this city, they are neverthe-
less taking the most extensive pre-
cautions to repress any disorders on
May day. On that day the municipal
elections will take place throughout
France except in Paris, and IL is feared
that that the crowds in the towns
where elections occur, excited by
psrti. an feeling, may perhaps, fall an
easy prey to the Anarchist agitators
who are certain to inveigh against
Government and society IL the occasion
offers.
After tonight all the troops will be
confined in their barracks to await
orders. Every man will be ready for
instant service. Their arms will be
piled and each soldier will carry
thirteen packets OF ball cartridges.
The Project OF Police In an interview
to-day said he felt confident that May
Day will pass quietly.
The police made another raid upon
houses occupied by Anarchists to-day.
but 1t has not yet been made public how
MANY men were arrested.
The managers OF the large English
and American shops near the Grand
Opera House have received threatening
letters declaring that every house that
is not French will be blown up.
The Communist and Revolutionary
groups condemn the May Day displays
as the work OF German Socialists, de-
claring that the latter are pure reac-
tionists.
Tho Echo dc Paris to-day publishes
what purports to be an interview with
the Anarchists who caused the explo-
sion at M. Very's restaurant. In this
interview, the Anarchists are made TO
say that explosions will begin again in
fortnight.
Considerable excitement, not unmixed
with Indignation against the police has
been caused at Dion, Capital OF the
Cote dor, by an attempt made TO blow
I'D the town hall. 1t is considered 10 be
remarkable state OF affairs when An
archists can approach supposed to be
carefully guarded public building, ar
range their explosives and then make
their escape without being seen by the
guards at any part OF the proceedings.
Fortunately the explosion did little
damage, and nobody was injured but
the people OF the town, that this was In
a measure due to the police.
