wealthy men. and the inauguration OF
a reign of terror and looting in New
York City, was announced by the po-
lice today after they had arrested a
mar as he placed two bombs In ST.
Patrick's Cathedral, where severa,
hundred persons were worshippips.
Today's sensational development
was the elimination OF months OF
work by detectives in uncoyering a
conspiracy, which, they declare, pro-
jected a campaign OF violence and
bloodshed without precedent in New
York City.
So carefully had the police worked
that the anarchist was allowed to light
the fuse OF one OF the bombs which he
carried into the cathedral. Scarcely
had the bomb ignited when one of
half hundred detectives stationed in
and about the church crushed the
sputtering fuse under his heel and in
another moment the plotter was taken
into custody just as he was about
to light the second desructiye instrn-
