RUSS ARMY REDUCED TEN KILLED BY BOMB
NINE MILWAUKEE POLICEMEN
AND WOMAN LOSE LIVES.
Criminals Responsible for Deaths
Believed to Be Members of Band
of Anarchists.

Milwaukee. Nov. 27.-That the bomb
which killed ten persons, injured two
and wrecked the central police station
here Saturday night may have been
manufactured by experts in Chicago
is the theory that now holds the atten-
ton of the authorities who have the
investi cation in charge.
This theory, the plan of offering OF
substantial rewards by the city and
state for the arrest of the criminals
responsible for the explosion and the
detention of half a dozen Italians were
the outstanding developments in a
crime that has stirred the community
century.
In addition citizens have already
started pouring in subscriptions for
the families of the police officers and
the woman who met death when the
bomb exploded.
The bomb was found in Rev. Gull
liani's church by Miss Maude Richter,
church organist. She sent an Italian
boy, Tony Massone, with it to the Cen
tral station and handed it to Station
Keeper Deckert. The station keeper
carried 1t into the squad room. where
detectives and police coming on or just
going off duty were assembled. \ no
ment later there was flash and a
roar. Buildings rocked for blocks
around The smoke cleared Where
detectives aud the station keeper had
stood was mass of wreckage
