Riot Case Ruling Reprisal

BOSTON, June 2-The home of

bury Municipal Court, 81 IL Wayne
Street, was severely damaged by an
explosion Of unknown origin shortly
before midnight tonight.
No one was in the house at the time.
the Judge and his family being at
their summer home at the seashore.
The explosion evidently was internal,
as there was little damage to the out
side of the house. The interior was
badly wrecked. All the windows were
broken. There was no fire.
The police said that if bomb had
been planted it probably was done as
a result of Judge Hayden's decisions
in the recent Roxbury riot cases.
Walter f. Wedger, explosives in
spector of the state police, said after
hasty examination that the explosion
probably had been caused by a bomb
three or four inches long. Pieces of
iron, some of them an inch thick, were
found imbedded in the walls of the
Hayden House and of the adjoining

Confidence of Leaders

Documents, including what purports
to be a commission as personal. agent
Of the Russian Soviet government in
the United States, signed by Nikolal
Lenine, bearing the name of Harold
{. keyes, were found yesterday by a
woman in Grand Central Station.
The papers, indorsed in a wallet,
were in Russian and English. The
commission" now in the possession Of
the Federal authorities reads:
"PETROGRAD April II, 1918.-The
bearer, Harold c. Keyes, is a trusted
friend of the Government of Russian
SoYiets. He is personally intrusted
with an important secret mission in
the United States. 1t is my wish that
he neither communicate nor reveal his
official secret mission to any one of
the existing organizations now work
ing in the interest Of the Soviets in
America. He has been instructed not
to use this letter of commission ex.
cept in an emergency. All concerned
will govern themselves accordingly.

some unknown reason, say the authori-
ties, Kcyes was dropped from The
Young Democracy.
keyes is said to have been formerly
a member of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen.
Local radicals questioned by The
Tribune about Keyes assert the whole
affair is a "hoax." the apoKesmcn of
the Russian Soviet Bureau headed by
l. c. A. X. Martens deride what they
call "the alleged Lenine commission"
and deny they ever knew of Keyes.
Leila Secor, member of the executive
committee Of Young Democracy, says
keyos was "thrown out" Of that organ
l2atlon because he was suspected of
being a government agent
Both Miss Secor and Charles Recht,
who is one of the lawyers OF the Rus
sian Soviet Bureau and the local coun-
sci of the |. W. W, say the commits
sion supposedly signed by Lennc is
obviously false, since to their knowl-
edge Keyes has never been in Russia
and at the time it is dated he was
busily engaged in preparing for
Young Democracy conference
Miss Secor said it was Keyes who
had the Offices of Young Democracy
raided twice, and that after the sec
ond raid the Department of Justice
returned the papers it had taken, apollo
gized and said there was nothing wrong
IN the papers that were found.
Owe are not now she concluded,
discussing the reference made to the
organization as that of conscientious

That the conspirators did not sue
