men to return. There remain, however,
two sore spots.
The first is the city's police. They

sympathy with the strikers Once they
voted to 60 out, but remained at their
posts by orders-not official, but from
the strike committee. An ultimatum
from the city falls due tonight requir-
ing them to give up their affhation
with the strikers and sign an agree
ment to stick or to resign. 1t is ex-
pected that the great majority will go.
A day or two ago this would have
meant almost complete anarchy. At
that time the forces being prepared by
the Citizens Committee had not been
completely organized, and there was
every chance that if the strikers be-
came violent they would get out of
hand. Now nearly 1000 special police,
four times the number of the regular
force. have been recruited from re-

Gray to-day, and it is believed that

The other danger spot is the posi-
billty that the railway brotherhoods
may join the strike. Their local Off
cias became mediators between the
employers and the Metal Trades Coun-
Gil, which started the strike, with the
understanding that if the employers
rejected their findings they would call

Through Parts of Effects Found
Superintendent Ofaey said the posi-

made through bits of clothing, parts
Of pistols, two hats found in the vicin-
ity, portions of shoes and other wear
ing apparel.
The dealer who sold the felt hat has
been found in Philadelphia, said Mr.
Of1ey, but he was unable to identify
all persons who had bought such hats
in his place. The derby hat is known
to have been made by Lamson & Hub
bard, a New York firm, Of Ali Fifth
Avenue, with branches in Brooklyn
and a factory in East Twenty ninth
Street
1t was also pointed out that the let

may not be a laundry mark, numbers
being used by large laundries for that
purpose. 1t is possible, however, said
Mr.. Off1ey, that some small laundry
used the letters instead of figures. 1t

NeaU Bomb Scare

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE find
ing of loaded high explosive shell at
Eighth and Market streets early this
morning has opened up a new line of
investigation to the Federal and citv

mystery of the bomb explosions of
last Monday night. They are now trv-

amounts of TINT and other high ex-
plosives that were taken from muni-
ton plants during the war.
1t has become known that workers in
these plants often took home in their
pockets small quantities of different
explosives. For the most part these

stuff through a desire to show their

WE1MAR, June Is (By The Associ.

Communist prisoners, recently released
from the Weimar Jail, shortly after
midnight this morning attacked the
castle where the members of the gov
eminent live.
The attacking party made a surprise
descent upon the castle and disarmed
the guards at the entrance They fired
through the windows, and this aroused
the castle troops.
1t was apparently the intention of
the party to seize President Ebert,
Premier Scheidemann and Gustav
Noske, the Minister Of Defence. but
they were foiled through their prema-
ture shots, revealing the attack to tho
troops within the building.
The casualties in the fighting were
five Spartacides and one government
guard, while twenty-eight Spartacides
were captured. The men who attacked
the castle had hidden a number of
loaded rifles in the bushes surrounding
it.
Later in the night further shooting
was heard, which at first was a mys-
terry, but later it was learned that the
firing had been done by government
