place bombs on board French and
British liners sailing for Europe. The
police have in their possession a com
plete bomb Of enormous power which
Halle said was to have been sent to
New York today to be placed on the
French liner Chicago. which sails
from that city on Saturday. The
bomb was to have been timed to ex-
plode on Monday when the ship was

According to the police New Or

spiracy and that the bombs we're to
have been made here and then ship
ped by parcel post to New York and
to other ports from which French and
British ships sail. What the police
want to learn now is this:
Seek Gotham Agents.
Who are the New York agents Of
the conspiracy? To whom were the
bombs to be addressed? Who was to
place them on the ships and how was
it to be done?
These are the lines that they want
the New York detective bureau to in
vestigate.
