Every Federal Investigating agency
in the country joined in the hunt for
the terrorists. State Department oper-
atlves on the Mexican and Canadian
borders have been instructed to prevent
the escape of certain fugitive radicals

mailed from New York. At the same
time the government agents who investi-

Socialists Put Blame
For Bomb Outrage on
Official s'Tyranny'

Prominent Socialists in this city yes
terday characterized the sending of
bombs to prominent persons through
mentally unbalanced group. Some of
them expressed the opinion that the
bomb plot was "a police frame-up, de-
signed to throw shadow on labors
May l demonstration"
Judge Jacob Panken, of the Munich
pal Court said:
"At first | was inclined to think the
bomb plot was a police frameup, but
am now Of the opinion that the bombs
we're mailed by some mentally unbal-
anced persons. 1t is indeed tragedy
that the political and industrial situa-
tion in our country is such as to give
impetus to such dastardly deeds
"The riots on the part of uniformed
men throughout the city and their at
tacks on peaceful meetings are only
one Of the manifestations | allude to
when | say that tyranny breeds
violence and the only cure for violence
is the abolition Of political tyranny"
Raymond r. Wilcox. business man
ager of "The Call" said:
This is the work of some crack
Drained fools, in my opinion. Still it
is not strange when such fools arc
driven to violence in the face Of such
disgraceful scenes as we witnessed at
our meetings and at our new Office
yesterday. | would advise the powers
that be in this country to take need of
this bomb plot. for it is a dangerous
sign Of the times"
Ryan Walker, noted Socialist speaker
and cartoonist, said:
"This bomb plot looked on the face
Of it like a frame-up by some detec-
tives, but latest developments show
the contrary We Socialists have al
ways cautioned the working class
against violence"
julius Gerber secretary of the So
cialist party, SAID
"Some crack-brained anarchist fools
are responsible for this. 1t is too bad
that conditions now are such as to
feed the crazy imaginations Of such
people"
George Goebel, member of the ma
tional executive committee of the So
cialist party, when seen at the Rand
School yesterday at the time of the
assault upon the school by sailors and
soldiers, said:
It is scenes such as you witness
now that are responsible for some peo-
pie going wild and trying to resort to
violence. They can gain nothing by it,
but all the same it is significant that
riots on the part of conservatives usu-
ally lead to violence on the other side

7wo Bomb Packages
Sent to 1imbeI Bros.
For Extra POSTAGE

Two of the bombs mailed from this city
We're returned to Gimbel Bros store
for additional postage and sent on
their way with the required stamps,
according to the recollection Of John
II. Delaney, mail clerk at the depart
mcnt store. They were directed to
Senator William H. King and Frank
Nebeker, at Salt Lake City, Utah,
and reached that city yesterday.
Mr.. Nebeker was special United
States Attorney in the trial of the
I. W. ". leaders in Chicago. Sena-
tor King has been active in investi-
eating government propaganda.
Delaney saw the bomb plot story
Wednesday night and read it with spe-
cal interest when he saw that the con
spirators had wrapped their deadly
parcels in imitation of packages sent
out by Gimbel Bros. The description
Of the boxes convinced him that he had
handled two on Monday which had been
brought to the store to have more
stamps put on. He believes he did
so simply as a matter of routine. and
the postal records bear out his recol-
lection.
Delaney Shook Package
Delaney did more than handle the
boxed-up bombs He picked one up,
examined it closely and shook it be
side his ear, trying to determine the
nature Of it's contents He heard only
q faint rustling, supposed the package
came from the drug department. and
after turning the two packages over
to Manager Chapman Of the shipping
department, forgot all about them un
til he read the bomb story in the news
papers. BY that time the bombs had
left Gimbcls on their way back to
the postofiicc.
Delaney did not seem able to realize
yesterday how nearly he had come to
tragedy
Last Monday morning, Delaney said,
he noticed in the mail two packages
marked "sealed against Inspection"
with notation from the postofice
calling for eighteen cents postage in

Of the senders was thought to be the
fact that as chairman of the Senate

Unusual precautions were taken in

comparing the bombs there with the
two he had handled, Delaney gave the
