REACHED NO PERSONS
MARKED FOR DEATH

aged. Judge Mott was not at home and
Mrs. Mott, who was asleep on the second
floor, was uniniured
William Boehner, private watchman,
was blown to pieces, parts of his body
being found half block from the scene
of the explosion. He was identified by
his two sons from particles of his cloth
ing and ring of keys. For the last 10
years Boehner has been employed as
Waterman for number of private
dwellings in the neighborhood of Judge
Motifs home. The exact time of the ex-
plosion was learned when it was discoy-
cred that large clock in the hallway
had stopped at 1856 a. m.
The bomb, according to Inspector
Owen Eagan of the bureau of combus-
tibles, was most powerful. Experts diff
fered as TO whether the bomb was load
ed with dynamite or trinitrotoluol
Judge Mott, with three daughters, was
at his summer home near New London,
Conn. With Mrs. Mott in the house were
the caretaker and his family. They suf-
fered only from shock, and minor in
juries received when they were thrown
from their beds.
The homes of Richard d. Lydon, law
yer, and DR.. John c. Macew adjoining
the Mott residence, were badly damaged.
All glass was broken and doors broken
in by the concussion. No one in these
houses was injured,
Directly across the street, army men,
guests at an officers club, maintained
by the war camp community service,
were awakened by windows crashing in.
Portions of body were found in the
club. Officers, who saw service overseas,
said that the force Of the explosion
equalled anything they had heard in
France during the war.
Immediately following the explosion
and the receipt of news dispatches telling
of similar outrages in other cities, the
police detailed strong forces to guard the
homes of prominent men in New York.

In Boston an Effort Was
Made to Kill Judge Who
Had Imposed Heavy Sem
tences on May-Day Riot
ers and on Legislator Who
Had Been Prominent in
the Anti -Bolsheyik Legis-
lation.

Washington, d. c., June 3.--Depart-
ment Of justice agents and police
throughout the country to-day were
hunting the organized band of anarchists
who last night launched what they called
an attempt to overthrow the govern
ment by assassinating with high explo-
sive bombs government officials and
prominent men opposed to the spread of
lawlessness.
Explosions took place in Washington,
Pittsburg, Cleveland, Newtonville, Mass,
Boston, Philadelphia, Paterson, n. j., and
New York. None of the men for whom
the bombs were intended was hurt, but
one man, watchman in New York, was
killed, several persons were injured
buildings were wrecked and in Washing
ton one of the plotters himself was
blown to pieces when an internal ma
chine intended for Attorney General A,
Mitchell Palmer exploded prematurely
The police have established that the
dead anarchist who probably was an
Italian, came to Washington from Phila-
delphia and they have reason for believ
ing that the nation wide plot was con
ceived in and directed from that city.
The head of the dead anarchist was
found on the roof of house more than
a block away from the scene of the ex
plosion and taken down by flremen, who
were searching for possible evidence.
Anarchists and radicals with anar
chistic ideas all over the country were
being questioned to-day by agents of the
department of justice. Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson said to-day he had re-
eeived thousands of threatening letters
in the mails during the last month, and
that large majority of them were writ
ten by women with tendencies toward
violence.
The bomb outrages were denounced in
the Senate, and drastic legislation was
urged The Senate halted consideration
of the woman suffrage resolution and
other business while Senator Walsh,
Democrat, of Montana, who has had
charge Of drafting anti anarchistic bills,
called the Senates attention to the ex-
plOsions.
Senator Walsh reintroduced a bill ia.
vorably reported to the Senate last win
ter, but which failed Of passage, provid-
ing severe penalties against acts or ad-
vocacy of violence designed to over.
throw the government. He also present
ed the anarchist circular found on the
man who carried the bomb to Attorney
General Palmer's home. 1t was read in
full TO the Senate.

One of the largest funerals to be held
in Barre for considerable time was
that of Mrs. John B. Magnaghi yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock A great number
of friends and acquaintance of the de-
ceased assembled at the home to pay
their last respects, The large profusion
of flowers showed in part the esteem in
which she was held The funeral pro-
cession proceeded to Hope cemetery,
where burial took place. The six people
who acted as pail bearers were: Joseph
Sanguinetti, Angelo Calderara, Armando
Comolli, Gerome Veronesi, Louis Sassi
and Paul Scampini.

of town people, among whom were two
uncles of Mrs Magnaghi, John and ia

er. Louis Cato, of Milford, Mass.

HIGH EXPLOSIVES
USED IN BOMBS
According to Chemist Who Examined
the Remains of Bombs Exploded
in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia June 3The automobile
used by the men who bombed the Cath
olic church was found early to-day aban-
doned in Fairmount park, the city's big
pleasure ground. Later it was learned
that the car had been stolen from the
street in the upper section of the city.
The police are searching for clues to
the identity of the man who was killed
in exploding bomb at the home of At
torney General Palmer in Washington.
The Washington authorities reported
that he wore hat bearing the name of
Philadelphia hat store The store is
located in the Italian quarter of the
city but the proprietor said he could not
recall selnng the hat. 1t is being brought
here in an endeavot to have him recall
the identity of the man to whom it was
sold.
A chemist who made an investigation
expressed the opinion that empowered
explosives were used in the bombs ex.
ploded here.
The police later discovered that the
suspicious printed matter found in the
motor car stolen by the men who threw
the bombs was merely literature issued
by reputable beneficial association of
which the owner of the stolen ear was
member.
Police activity is now eentered on the
clue from Washington connecting the
man blown to pieces by his own bomb in
that city with central organization in
this city.
Louis JagieIky, whose residence was
bombed, said to-day he believed the at
tack was due to a misapprehension on
the part of the bombers The police
theory is that after the attack on the
church the men hurrying from the scene
in an automobile found themselves in
possession of surplus bomb they must
get rid Of that they threw it away at
random, JagieIkv being the victim

ONE or SUSPECTS
HELD IN BOSTON
Police Found Quantity of Foreign Litera-
ture in Mans Home-No One In
jured in Two Explosions.

Boston, June 3-Two men, suspected
Of being concerned in explosions last
night at the homes of Judge Albert Il.
Hayden in the Roxbury district in this
city, and State Representative Leland
Powers at Newton, were arrested by the
Boston police to-day. One was released
but the other was held pending further
investigation In the home of the latter
the police found quantity of foreign
literature.
No one was injured in either explosion.
Except for son, all the members of
Judge Hayden's family We're at their
summer residence in Plymouth. The son
was just returning to the Roxbury resi-
down the street when the explosion oc-
Cured.
Judge Hayden expressed the opinion
that the attack on his home was made
because of his attitude in the cases Of
nearly hundred May day rioters who
recently appeared in his court and upon
many of whom he imposed heavy SEN
tences.
The only occasion that could be
aseribed for the attempt to blow up the
Powers home was the legislative activity
of Representative Powers on the anti
anarchist bill recently adopted.
Superintendent of Police Mitchell H
Crowley expressed the opinion that the
men responsible for the bomb outrages
came here from other cities for the pur.
pose and were experts in the handling OF
explosives.

vestigation has so far failed to throw
any light on the mysterious explosion
that early to-day wrecked two-story
dwelling house at 35l East 3lst street,
damaged the adjoining house of Max
Gold, silk manufacturer, broke win
dows in other nearby houses and created
panic in the neighborhood. Captain
Ryan of the police department expressed
the belief that the explosion was caused
by bomb planted in driveway near
Colds residence, but no fragments of
the internal machine have been discoy-
cred.
The occupants of the wrecked house,
|. Cohen and NJ Morris and their fam
lilies, were hurled from their beds by the
force of the explosion but all escaped
injury.
Investigation has shown that the
bomb was placed in the entrance hall of
the 3lst street building and was, con
sequently, not directed against the resi-
dence of Mr.. Gold. The only person of
any prominence connected with the
wrecked building is John j. Fitzgerald,
secretary of the Chamber of Commerce,
who vacated fiat in the building on
Nav Is.
