BOMB WORK OF l. W.
 W. OR ANARCHIST
New York Detectives Following
 Three Lines of Investigation

New York July S.-Comnissioner Woods and Inspector Faurot have de- cided that the bomb explosion which wrecked part of Police Headquarters Monday evening was the work of either an I. w. w. or his first cousin. the anarchist, and a score of detec- tives were sent out to see what they could find.
 Inspector Faurot cannot understand why any one should set off bomb at Police Headquarters to protest against the shipping of arms to Eu- rope, and having discarded that idea. he believes the other theory is the only logical one which remains
 Two Or Three Clues. ofncials at Police Headoua were wary of telling just what leads they were working on, but at the Commissioners office it was said there are two or three good lines of investigation which are being worked out and which may turn up the bomb planter.
 It is known, however, that the po- lice are not placing as much confi- dence in these lines as in knowledge already gained by acting Captain Funny and his bomb squad. Tunney and his detectives are the ones who captured the men who placed the bomb in St. Patrick's Cathedral, and several of these detectives have gained the confidence of members of some of the anarcilistic or I. W. W. groups, one of which is believed to have been responsible for the head quarters bomb.
 These detectives did not show themselves when the arrests in the cathedral bomb case were mad, and as far as tn anrchists know the de- tectives re what they hve posed as for nonthstnat is, members in good standing of the lodges to which they belong.
 Kept Under Surveillance.
 It is known that at this time, and for more than a year past, the most radical heads of the I. w. w. have been kept under police surveillance, not every minute, but enough of the time so the police can keep track of thir associates and can find them and question them at almost any time.
 The trouble in finding the man who set the Headquarters bomb according to Inspector Faurot. is that the lead CTS of the I. w. w. and of the anarch- ists probably did not set the bomb, and it is likely that none of them knows who did.
 It is likely all the I. W. W. members known to have been friendly with Ar thur Caron and his two associates who were blown to death year ago last Saturday will have to prove an alibi to detectives or be arrested. The po- lice regard it as almost certain that the bomb was placed to mark the an niversary of Caron's death.
 White Slave Trafickers.
 Anarchist leaders, however, say the explosion was caused by white slave trafAckers.
 'The white slavers thought they could divert suspicion from themselves and place 1t on the anarchists by choosing the anniversary of Arthur Caron's death for the explosion said Leonard D. Abbott of the Ferrer School of Anarchists. T assure you I am perfectly innocent of any knowl- edge of the bomb. If the police had recently been particularly active against the anarchists, could easily see motive for it on the part of the anarchists. but there has been no recent activity and therefore there could be no excuse fro an anarchist bomb at this time.''
 Name of Maker.
 The brown canvas valise found near the scene of the explosion bore the name of it's maker, and the police are investigating this line, though without much hope, as the bag is cheap, one of a type of which thousands may have been mad
 John Koss, the young Austrian who was arrested just after the bomb ex- ploded, was sent to the workhouse for a month. He was charged with va grancy and he asked to be sent away, as he had no job or money.
