There is still some discrepancy In

Communication Received BY
Newspaper Tells in ADJ
vance of the Plot

Washington, D. c., July 3.-The pub
lie reception room In the senate wing
of the capitol of the United States was
wrecked just before last midnight by
an explosion probably caused by q
bomb or an internal machine. No one
was injured and today there was only
one clue, letter received by the
Washington Times, an evening news
paper, bearing post mark timed be-
fore the explosion, announcing that 1t
would take place. t~s
The letter, although written June 1,
nearly two hours before the explosion.
1t was signed "R. Pearce.' was type
| written and indicated that the writer
had been waiting some time for an
opportunity to carry out his plan,
which, he said, would be the exclama-
ton point of his career
The letter was at once turned over
to the police. Only one man OF that
name is in the Washington city direc-
tory. A search was begun for him.
Omcials at first was inclined to be-
!! lieve the explosion was caused by
spontaneous combustion or escaping
gas, but abandoned that line of inves-
tisation and proceeded on the theory
that the explosive was planted by
crank, seeking to create sensation, or
some foreign sympathizer seeking to
register his disapproval of the policies
of the United States government.
The letter was a rambling argument
against exports Of war munitions to
Europe.
