NEW YORK. Nov H.-Police Of New
York are facing crime wave In the
space Of a few weeks, four bomb out
RACES, one street assassination that
smacks Of a Rosenthal murder, and a
barrel murder mystery have taken place.
The first bomb outrange occurred sew
eral weeks ago when two men and a
woman, thought to be members of a
white slave band extending throughout
the country, partially wrecked the new
Bronx County courthouse and shattered
the Offices of the County Sheriff.
Several days later a bomb. the fuse
sputtering dangerously near the ex-
plosive, was discovered near a Judges
bench in a city Court in time to prevent
damage and possible death to several
persons.
White the police were hunting clue
to these outrages, two men dropped
barrel on a curb in Long Island city.
II contained the warm body OF man
who had been shot through the heart.
Then came the wrecking OF part OF
tenement In Cherry street Investigation
revealed that the place had been occupied
by Sicilian club" In one of the rooms
was found enough explosives to have
blown the siX-story tenement to bits. Two
injured men and a third man who was
aiding them we're arrested in one of the
wrecked rooms.
One day later Barnett Ban, whose fight
against the poultry trust resulted in the
conviction and sentencing to Jail of 13 Of
its members, was lured from his Office
and shot to death in a crowded street.
His two murderers escaped in an auto
mobile.
The latest bomb explosion occurred late
yesterday. A man who said his name was
