Moscow, Dec. 27.-The secret serv-

against the car and czarina, who are

There were arrested here two wom-

The arrest of the men and women
was made in house on Baskakow
street, where they had been living for
a fortnight. In the house, hidden in
the cellar, were found several bombs
filled with high explosive.
The arrests and the finding of the
bombs created sensation in the city
