New York, May IA nationwide
bomb conspiracy, which the police say
has every earmark of l. w. W.-Bolshe-
visit origin, directed against the lives
of some of the most prominent men
in this country, including Postmaster
General A. S. Burleson, Attorney Cen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer, Justice o. w.
Holmes of the Supreme Court; Judge
Kenesaw Mountain lands of Chicago;
Mayor John f. Hylan, John d. Rookie

of other persons of prominence in the
official or business life of the country,
was discovered as result of the re-
ceipt of the bombs by Mayor Hanson
and eX-United States Senator Thomas
w Hnrdwick of Georgia. Up till now
th,rty-five of the bombs, all of which
had been found in the mails, had been
accounted for by the postoffice author

April %, and those found in the city
addressed to persons in this city or
other eastern points were received at
the general postoffice, Thirty-third
street and Eighth avenue at 8 O'Clock
Saturday, just four days after the
bombs addressed to the Far West were
mailed. The difference in dates, the
federal authorities pointed out, plainly
indicated that the conspirators had
sought to arrange for delivery of the
bombs on the same day in all parts of
the country.
The names of persons in the New
York district to whom bombs were ad-
dressed were made public this after
noon by the postal authorities in this
city. The addresses disclosed were:

immigration, New York.
