LARGE AMOUNT OF EXPLOSIVES
 FOUND IN RADICAL HEADQUAR.
 TIERS; REPORTED BOMBING OF OFFICIALS WAS DIRECTED BY RUSSIAN RADICALS IN GOTHAM

CHICAGO. June 4.---R)-The seat of the recent bomb plot has shifted from Philadelphia to this city. Six men. who are well known as extreme radicals, were taken into custody to- day by the police officials. While the evidence against these men does not prove conclusively that they were in. timately connected with the placing of the bombs. proof was found by the officials that the men were more or less implicated in a general plot to kill high government officers by explosives. Following the first twen' ty hours investigation after the bombing of Attorney General Palm. CTS residence in Washington. the fed. eral secret service men formed the theory that the seat of the plot was in Philadelphia. They still believe that there are radical leaders in that city who had previous knowledge of the bombs but recent developments tend to prove that some of the ex. tremists here were in the conspiracy.
 A large quantity of high explosives was found in one of the anarchistic headquarters in this city when Q raid was made upon 1t today by the DO. lice. None of the men connected with the headquarters could furnish . satisfactory explanation for tho pres ence of tho explosives.
