 PART OF A PLOT.
Head of Philadelphia Police
 Believes They Are Work w- of Terrorists.

Philadelphia. Jan, 1.---Despite tho extraordinary measures taken by both the local and federal authorities to apprehend the perpetrators of the bomb outrages at the home of three prominent Philadelphians on Monday night, only one arrest had been made up to early today, The prisoner, iZTsll known radical of this city, de- inied any connection with the ezplo- sions He is being held for further investigation.
 Ewery possible clue and theory Is being run out by the authorities, De- tails of police, detectives and depart rnent of pustice agents are conducting a systematic investigation of every club or organization in the city from 'wh4oh pacifists, anti-draft, Socialists or Industrial Workers of the World propaganda Is circulated. A canvass of the city also will be made to as certain the character of meetings held in different sections recently by or 'ganizations known as the Deputies of Russia Soviet Colonies of Phtladel- phia and Vicinity" and the 'tAll-Rus- ,aia Soviets Committee of America. /" The Socialist headquarters here were ,raided yesterday and a large quantity of literature seized. No arrests were made.
 William B. Mills, acting superin- tent1snt of police, whose home was damaged by one of the explosions, said the next 4S hours would bring important developments. 'fWe can then teu,' he said, whether this Is really a deep-laid plot by the radicals ia A work of some misguided crank. Per sonany, I think from our investiga- Ition so far, that it is real Russian iBolskevilzism spreading throughout this country through connection with foreign Soviets and Workmen's Couu- icils- Every agitator in this city will have to give complete account of his dodngs Monday night"
 <, Mills said it had been established that the bombs had been set off by a time fuse and that the same person could not have placed the three in such widely separated sections of the city He added that he was convinced that four motor cars were used by those responsible for the outrage.
 James T. Cortelyou. chief postal in spector, said that he had been warned by a former convict several hours be- fore the first bomb exploded that ar attempt would be made to blow uI the federal building.
 The warning came by telephone, ht said, from a man who considered him self under obligations to the inspec tor. He declared he was convinced tue man was in the confidence of per. sons engaged in a bombing plot art he immediately placed extra guGId around the post office, the custom -- house and the mint. His informant Mir. Cortelyou sald, did not naaar,4in1 anything about blowing up the home of Justice won MosChzisker, Ernest TT4gg and Acting Superintendent ATIlls, which later were wrecked.

STANLEY GETS
 HIS JOB AGAIN
Drinking Clubs Must Put Up With Commissioners
 They Do Not Prefer.

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson in an- nouncing his list of appointment for the coming year evidently acQuiesced to the evolutionary tendencies of John T. King, for despite persistent rumors to the contrary John c. Stan ley was reappointed to the Board of Police Commissioners. It was whis- pered about town that Commissioner Stanley did not stand ace high with the drinking club element of the city.
 The clever managers at City Hall have been fortunate during many years in preserving good relations with the law and order element, rep resented by the churches, and have drawn stronger support from the h quor element than any preceding ad- ministrartion, perhaps. Under the administration there have come into being all over Bridgeport lso-called drinking clubs, which are free from most of the restrictions that are enforced against the licensed dealers. These drinking clubs furnish stalwart support on election day. Po- llice Commissioner Stanley never has disturbed the drinking clubs, but he has shown considerable independence, and there is the feeling that he might.
 Practically all department heads were reappointed by the mayor, the only change being on the Board ot Relief. John Roraback was appointed as successor to John Riley who was recently made member of the fire board. The list of appointments made by the mayor follows:
 Sinking Fund Commission: Frank Miller c. Barnum SeeIey.

Two Local Girls Appear
in Mt. Holyoke Senior Play

Two local girls, the Misses Eleanor
and Margaret May. daughters of the
Rev. and Mrs. Homer S. May, of
2l3 North Fifteenth street, partici-
pated in the senior class play Polo
given Friday evening, November 2l,
at Mount Holyoke College.
This play, an annual event, was
suggested, written, coached and act
ed by, members of the senior class.
The setting was in Egypt during an
ancient dynasty and considerable re-
search work was done in connection
with preparing the costumes, stage
settings and dances. All these fea-
lures were truly Egyptian. The
barefoot dances were planned after
extensive studies of Egyptian paint
ings, thus making them as realistic
as possible.
The play was in three acts. The
first somber, the second of great
brillance and the third somber once
more. 1t was in the second act that
the Misses May appeared as dane
ers in strikinCly beautiful costumes.
This production was unique in the
history of Mt Holyoke senior shows
as nothing of this. type has ever
been given before. 1t was also uni
que in that it will be the last senior
play to be staged. Hereafter the
annual plays will be given by the
junior class.
