FEAR OF MORE
BOMBS CAUSES
POLICE STIR
Stricter Precautions Taken
| to Protect Courts and
Even Headquarters.
EXTRA GUARD PUT AT
. COMMISSIONERS DOOR

The probability or more bombs being
piented in courts and churches gave I'M
,ssIness to the police yesterday Pre-
cautions against such events were
ordered by authorities in the Police De-
partment. While no one would say that
any intimation Of impending outrages
had been received, 1t was clear from the
precautions taken that 1t was deemed
wise to he on the alert.
1t is believed that the police have In
formation in addition to the facts made
known about the shutting out of the
bomb in Magistrate Campbell's court by
Patrolman George l.. O'Connor on
Saturday, the explosion of the bomb In
front of the Bronx County Court House
and the reported enmity of the anar-
chists to Mayor Mitchell and other
officials
Among the significant facts that de-
yeloped in the course of the day was
the locking of the north door of Police
Headquarters. Though this door is
usually open all day II was ordered
locked on Saturday afternoon. to remain
closed until the arrival of Police Com
missioner Woods this morning, and a
policeman was on guard there. That
door. by the way, opens under the porte
cochere and is directly under the office
Of the Police Commissioner. which is
on the second floor. No one would en-
plain the locking of the door except TO
say that it was done by orders of Lieut.
McAuliffe. who has charge of the build
ing. The suggestion that a bomb
thrower might seek to slip through the
door and plant bomb was laughed at.
strict Watch in Courts.
In the next place. strict watch was kept
on every person entering the Tombs court
yesterday morning where Magistrate
Campbell. unrufiied BY his experience of
the previous day, was sitting. Stephen
Darcy, acting captain OF the attendants.
stationed himself at the door. and ques-
toned every person whO would enter.
Every applicant was compelled to explain
his or her business. Before the Tombs
court opened for business the main
room, the Judge's private chambers and
the halls were searched thoroughly for
bombs.
That same strict watch will be applied
TO all the courts to-day. An order was
Issued either Saturday or yesterday direc-
ting that detectives be ass!Gned TO every
Illustrates court to watch for bullying
pockets Of visitors and to make sure that !
roughly dressed men are not carrying ex-
p!osves hidden under taeir coats.
Those facts suggest that II is quite .
likely that most careful watch Is being |
kept on various public officials with |
view 70 guarding them against anarchists |
il was recalled that BOuck White. pastor |
OF the Caurch OF the Social Revolution, |
recently released from jail, said at u |
meeting In Bryant Hall
! am not a prophet. but I predict that !
In the revolutionary time in which we |
are entering there are going to be many |
more acts OF violence"
He attacked the churches for refusing |
70 help solve the social problems which |
he outlined, but at the same time he |
attacked the /. W. w. followers and the |
anarchists
There have been impressed on the minds |
Of the police these facts: That five at |
tempts have beeen made against courts !
and churches since the /. W. W. began |
'ts campaign in this city that prophecies |
we're made by T. W. w. speakers them |
selves last winter and spring of many |
deeds OF Violence. and that the body |
OF one Of those men, Arthur Caron, was |
found in a building where premature |
explosion Of bomb occurred last July.
