SUBTRACT BOMBS
Ii a. FAIL OF PURPOSE

London, May 1.-two more OF the
now familiar bombs, which the militant
suffragets are attempting to scare the
British parliament into giving the par
liamentary franchise to women, were
discovered this morning. One of them
was found in the passengers waiting
room at the street railway station in
Liverpool and the other in the sorting
room Of the ~postoffice at Reading. The
fuse of the Liverpool bomb had been
lighted by the perpetrators of the out
rage, but had died out before it reached
the gun powder. The bomb consisted
Of q tin tobacco box filed with gun
powder and iron nuts and the long fuse
was a in the center.
The Reading machine was wrapped
In a bulky parcel to which the atten-
ton of the p~ostoffice employees was at
tracted by the sound Of ticking. The
police were called in and on examina-
tion found that the parcel contained
an electric battery connected by clock
work with explosives and accompanied
by quantities of the suffraget litera-
ture. The parcel "a addressed to a
municipal official at Reading now on
his vacation. The officials express the
opinion that it. was timed to explode in
his residence during his absence. The
clock work arrangement was in perfect
working order.
