The police would not reveal the
Identity of the man, but they felt
confident the facts they had gather
ed in their investigation since last
midnight would lead quickly to the
apprehension of his asso ciates, who
they believe also were responsible
for the May Day bomb plot in which
many internal machines addressed to
government officials, members of
Congress and businessmen were
placed in the mails.
Freaks of Explosion
The anarchist apparently was of
italian birth or parentage. His
scalp, found by the police at day
light, had upon it hair that was dark
and curly Included in the heap of
battered, scorched fragments of
clothing and articles belonging to the
man was a much-thumbed Italian
American dictionary, indicating its
owner knew little English.
BY a break of the explosion, the
mars hat remained intact. On the
sweat band was inscribed the name
of DE Luca Brothers. Hatters, 919
South Eighth Street. Philadelphia"
1t was at first thought that two
men had been killed, because parts
of two legs were found where they
had been blown. Later, however,
the police established definitely, only
one man had been killed.
Plotter May Be Victim
Although apparently intended to
do greater damage. the latest bomb
explosions, from a standpoint of loss
of life appeared to have been but
little more successful than those of
May /. Fatalities resulting, as re-
ported to-day. were confined to the
plotter himself at the Palmer home
and to New York where from one to
possibly three persons were killed.
In that case as here, the body or
bodies were so badly scattered it
was impossible to determine just
how many were slain.
AS in the May day attempts the
bomb plot last night was directed,
in a majority of Uses, against pub
lie officials in various cities, men
who have been active in suppress
sion of organized lawlessness. AS
there was little difference in the
time between the explosions with
the exception of that in Washing
ton, the police and government
agents believe the instruments of
destruction were to be timed to ex-
plode at about the same hour. The
fact that wearing apparel and an
archistic literature were found at
the Palmer home indicated to the
police that the bomb exploded just
as the dynamiter took it from the
suit case under the front entrance
to the building.
Copies of the pamphlet bearing
the caption, plain Talk" are in pos
session of the police and Depart
ment of Justice officials and may
possibly furnish the only clue to
the identity of the plotters. Printed
on what likely was intended to be
red paper, the pamphlets bear no

AMERICAN LEGION
Organization Plans for
Next Few Months

Col. Albert Greenlaw Of Eastport.
temporary State chairman of the
American Legion, Tuesday received
a communication from the National
Executive Committee, saying that in
order to secure the necessary in
crease in local posts throughout the
country. the committee has decided -.
to recommend to the states method
of organization which has proven
successful and to outline program
of action. The following program is
one which the committee believes can
be complied with, in the organiza~1
ton:
July 31-All county organizers to
be appointed before this date.
August DISAPPOINTMENT Of local
organizers in each county completed.
August 20-A post in every county.
August 30-A post in every town
or locality having furnished over 100
service men.
mber-Membership drive for
100000 members. About rs per
cent. of service men.
October-State convention for the
election of delegates to the national
convention.
Observation-Disclosures convention.
The plan of organization which has
been effective in several states re-
quires the appointment Of county
organizer for each county. whose
duty it should be to organize posts
within his county. There should be
organized in each county a county
committee the officers to consist of
chairman, vice chairman. secretary
and treasurer. Each county COM
mittee should then conduct an active
campaign to form post in every
town or village which furnished over
100 service men.
In one state. the state chairman
first divided the state into five dis
tricts and placed director in charge
of each district who was made re-
sponsible for the organization Of the
counties in his district. This plan Of
dividing the state into districts may
be adopted wherever it seems advis-
able. but will depend largely upon
local conditions which exist in each
state.
