EXPECTS ARRESTS
Continued from page u

The work tracing the purchasers of
this particular paper is absorbing the
efforts of scores of detectives, said
Mr. Flynn, but a long search is ex-
pected because of the wide use of
this common quality of paper.
Photographs of the sandal worn by
the dead anarchist were distributed
among detectives in an effort to find
out where the sandal was purchased
and from this to learn where the man
lived. The purpose of tracing the
dead man by all possible clews is to
Identify his associates, who are be-
lieved directly responsible for the
bomb outrages in the seven other
cities.
William M. Offley, superintendent
of the local office of the Department
of Justice, was optimistic over the
chances of an early arrest. He said
that number of new leads had open
ed, and were being followed by men
from his office. He doubted any early
action on the paper clew.
Fear of an outbreak by anarchists
in Jersey City, it was learned, has led
to the placing of Secret Service men
on guard around residences of offici-
ais in that city. Fifteen guards have
taken posts at the armory at Mercer
street and Bergen avenue, acting up
on information given last Monday by
a trolley conductor, who overhead
two passengers discussing a plot to
dynamite the building. The plot, ac-
cording to what the conductor said he
overheard, appeared to have been
Matched in Paterson, N. j., where one
of the eight bombs was exploded on
the night of June 2.

Among the special features of the
exhibition, will be the greatest car in
the world, Packard Number 905, with
Mr.. Ralph De Palma, at the wheel.
Also, there will be shown the first

There will not only be on exhibit

When one takes into consideration
the fact that this big Packard cele-
