WASHINGTON, June 3. - Further
progress toward the Identification of
the perpetrators of the bomb outrages
Of last night was made in Washington
than in any place in which explosions
occurred. This followed the finding of
many items of Identification of the
person blown to bits when he stumbled
in attempting to place his deadly en-
gine before the home of Attorney
General Palmer. The mans hatbanl
with the address of a Philadelphia
halter, his collar with a Philadelphia
laundry mark and a conductors identi-
fication check showing he arrived here
a scant half hour before the explosion
have been found. One witness says he
saw the man get Off a Connecticut
avenue trolley car near Mr.. Palmer's s
house.
ATTORNEY General Palmer to-day de-
| fed the plotters and promiss1 that
every agency in his department would
increase its efforts TO crush this sort
of lawlessness.
In the Capitol the first move for re-
pressive legislation was made wnen
Senator Walsh interrupted tho suf-
trage debate to tell OF the outraEes
and reintroduce his anti Red measure.
which was defeated last wear.
There was but one note here sounded
out of harmony with the universal In
dignation and condemnation of the
: outrages. That came from Victor
| berger. Representa tive elect from Mil
waukee. Socialist, who declared that
these outrages were the logical re-
(; suit" of the Russian methods IN
suppressing freedom OF opinion
| Major Raymond Pullman. Chief OF
Police, declared tonight that "as a
combined result OF the various invesu-
cations by the Department OF Justice
and the police of this and other cities
there should be results produced WITHIN
tho next three days in finding the per-
petrators of the crime"
Attorney General Palmer said: The
outrages of last night indicate nothing
but the lawless attempt OF an anarchistic
element in the population to terrorize
! the country and thus stay the hand OF
the Government This they have utterly
failed to do. The purposes Of the De-
rartment of Justice are the same to-day
I az Yesterday These attacks by bomb
throwers will only increase and extend
the activities OF our crime-detecting
forces We are determined now as
heretofore that organized crime directed
against organized Government in this
country will be stopped"
Work of Band shown.
There Is no doubt In the minds OF
the police and OF the Department OF
Justice that all OF the bomb outrages
were conducted by an organized band
Two clues point conclusively to this de-
duction-thc fact that the same badly
worded anarchistic literature was found
on the scene OF some OF the other crimes
as was picked up by the police here and
the fact that all of the outrages oc-
CURED simultaneously.
After working on the evidence avail
able here for eighteen hours Major Pull
man made this statement:
THE police investigation OF the ex.
plosion in front OF the homo Of Attorney
General Palmer which has been con.
Quoted during all of last night and to-
day. has been made with a view ot
gathering in every bit OF evidence or
the scene and in securing Information
concerning the activities of men sucl
as the one who committed the crimes
in Washington.
THE police have made very salts
factory progress in gathering bits Of
the shattered remains OF the bomt
carrier and IL IL believed that II will b,
possible TO make an Identification OF
the man through the parts already dis
covered, Almost the entire scalp hal
been found and the hair because OF II.
popularity shows that II was perhap,
one OF the mans most principal fea
lures in his physical makeup. All arti
cles OF clothing have been photographed
and examined with the greatest car,
to-day and they should go a long way
; in helping to make Identification pos
sible."
! II the man who committed the Grim
here can be identified. or n any one O
the m@n who committed the crime II
any OF the other cities can be identifle,
II is believed that all OF the crimes vii
