H0lshevist Terrcrtsm Planned.
Tho obvious intention of the plot
tsrs now hidden somewhere In the
heart Of New York city, was to de-
stroy these men and begin a Bolshe-
Visit terrorism founded on the tenets
of Lenine and Trotzsky This is the
reasoned conclusion OF William f..
Cochran, Chief Post Office Inspector,
in charge of the investigation here,
apd of Police Inspector Joseph Fau-
rot. head Of the Bomb Squad, who Is
working with Chief Cochran. They
said last night that the plot. SO nearly
successful was the most dangerous,
most artful scheme Of violence In the
history Of the country.
While the Post Ofice ofiiciais here
were examining the sixteen bombs taken
from the first class mail at the General
Post Office yesterday morning. and while
The country was stih ringing with the

day morning to the desk of Federal

ths Chicago police.
SEN Francisco Bombs Held Up.
In San Francisco. where two bombs
were delivered at the office of the Dis
trfcts Attorney and Assistant District At
torney that vigorously prosecuted
Mooney. the accidents of circumstances
again foiled the New York plotters. for
neither Mr.. Ftckert nor Mr.. Cunba was
in his Office and policeman with coni-
monsense knew enough to take care of
the parcels. Luck or Providence beat
them again when Burnett in Alabama
turned his package over to the police.
In San Francisco also. 1t was said by
the post once authorities here last
night, fourteen bombs addressed from
New York TO prominent men on the
coast VINO have earned the enmity of

An OF these developments and dis
covesies point like SO many fingers TO
q shrewdly designed plot by the New
York reds TO get their Internal machines
delivered widely over the country--at
far distant points-so that they would
go off about the same time, just pre-
ceding May Day--the day o: their big

timed in the mails as to get them to
their destinations at about the same
time.
Police start Roundup OF Reds.
All over the city last night the police
were busy rounding up Reds that are
known to have threatened trouble and
several arrests were made OF persons
who had been circulating seditious lit
erature and papers calling on the people

far has come into the hands OF the po-

The police have also made prepara-

at violence to-day by tho foreign ele-
