As n prccaution against radicals who
might take advantage Of the revclry that
prevailed throughout various sections Of
the city last night. licutenants of the
various police districts issued strict or
dcrs to every man at midnight roll call
to exercise the keencst vigilance to
guard tho homes of prominent citizens
and churches Of every denomination.
Although it was virtually impossible
to learn the source of the warning, it
was intimated by some officials Of tho
police department that they had re
coived reliable information which caused
them to take these extra precautions.
Numerous bluccoats attired in plain
clothes. and detectives from the central
station were detailed TO all sections of
the city.
As had been anticipated. many per-
sons were seen unOn the highways
carrying packages of virtually every de
scription. and all found lettering with
bundles in their possession were sub
jccted to close scrutiny.
The policemen were instructed spe-
cifcally to watch every one who did
possess n package. this being actuated
by the belief of officials that the con
tents might be of an explosive nature.
