PARIS, Feb. 20.-Paris has been startled
by another bomb explosion and this new
evidence of anarchist activity causes con-
siderable excitement. A man of suspici-
disappearance recently hired furnished
room in hotel of modest description, &C
90 Rue ST. Jacques. lie disappeared sud-
denly, and as he was not seen to return
up to last night the wife of the proprie-
tor OF the hotel, Nine. Calabresi,
knocked at the door and finally
threatened to break down the
door unless it was opened. Nine.
Calabresi, however, delayed carrying out
her intention until 1918 this morning,
when she again tried to open the door,
this time employing force. While en-
gagged in this task the land
lady became aware that something
had caught In the open door, and upon
closer examination she found that it was
TO all appearance an internal machine.
The woman ran away in alarm and
called her husbanD, who summoned
policeman. The officer promptly,
but unwisely,. put his shoulder to
the door and burst ii open. This
caused the bomb. shaped like a sardine
box of the largest size, to fall to the floor,
where 1t exploded, infiicting terrible in
juries upon Mime. Calabresi, who
was wounded in the abdomen,
slightly wounding her husband,
fracturing the leg of NJ. Ismael,
commission agent, who had been at
tracted to the scene after the arrival of
the policeman, and also wounded his wife,
who accompanied him.
As soon as the policeman recovered from
the shock which he had sustained, he
sent for assistance, and Mime. Calabresi,
her husband, M. and Nine. Ismael
and others who were slightly wounded
were taken to the Hotel Dieu,
the famous hospital. Nine. Call
abresi, shrieking with pain as she was
conveyed to the hospital, caused great ex-
citement lin the ncighborhood, the first
reports having II that four or five people
had been killed.
More Bombs Discovered.
Later.--In addition to those already re-
ported wounded IL is now added that an
uncle of Mime. Gala bresi was hurt severely
by bullet from the bomb, which passed
almost through his body making five peo-
pie, more or less severly wounded by the
explosion. According to one theory the
bomb was placed where it was found by
an anarchist who had a personal grudge
against M. and Nine Calab bresi.
The explosion caused much damage to
the building, blowing out the windows,
crashing down the partitions, and doing
other injury.
This afternoon there was a renewal of
the excitement caused by the finding of
another bomb. This time there was no
explosion. The second bomb was found
in the Hotel de l'Esperance, on the Rue
de Faubourg st. Martin.
1t was like the one which exploded in
the hotel on the Rue st. Jacques and was
similarly placed. AS soon as it was dis
covered the police were notified and il
was taken tc the Municipal Laboratory for
examination.
The police are of the opinion that these
bombs were placed by the same person.
1t is'likely that he is a crank, or an exper-
imentalist, as both these hotels are small
tenement-like places and frequented al
not thought likely that the anarchists
would attempt to iniure this class of
people.
