Government Agents

IN Wholesale MURDER

All foreign born residents living
within a radius OF a half mile Of the
munition plants at Eddystone are be-
ing rounded up today at the town hall.
They were asked to show naturaliza-
ton papers, and those who were un-
able to do so, were forced TO leave
the borough. The roundup was made
by Sheriff Neyburn, Of Delaware coun-
ty, assisted by guardsmen and the
State police. All houses in the for
eign section were searched for arms.
The probe OF the horror has be-
come a probe OF Russian Government
agents. It is to them that the coro-
ner's jury looks for light on the mys-
terry. as the investigating body OF six
prominent Delaware county citizens
enters its second day OF work.
To find "Waskoff" is the object that
stands in the foreground. And not
only Coroner Drewes' jury, but the
Federal Government itself is raking
the country to turn up this man, who
few hours after the explosion Of
April 10 sent to a radical Russian
newspaper in New York a cryptic tele-
gram that said, Explosion occurred
today; our crowd safe
He was one of the Russian Govern
ment's authorized inspectors then, but
a. few minutes later he rushed away
without explanations, not even stopping
to get his salary.
