of sixteen bombs in New York. ad-
dressed to prominent men. They
were found in the general post office,
formerly the Pennsylvania station.
and were sealed, but without full let
ter postage. Suspicion was directed
to them because they resembled the
published description Of the bombs
delivered at the homo Of former Sena-
tor Hardwick, in Atlanta, and to Ole
Hanson, mayor Of Seattle. On April
28 and 20 Gimbel Brothers, whose
name appeared on the wrappers. had
been notified to supply the necessary
postage.
These packages were 2x2xs inches.
1t has developed that Gimbel Broth
ers never used such a wrapper as was
on these packages.
The bomb addressed to Postmaster
General Burleson was opened. The
package contained a wooden box with a
screw cap. 1t contained dynamite full
inmate of mercury and a small vial Of
liquid, the nature Of which has not been
ascertained. There Is no doubt it was

I'm thankful to live in a land that is free,
With chances for all men, whoever they be,
To labor in fields of their own for the spoil
That comes to the hand that is willing to toll;
To stand without fear, without favor or grace,
From masters enthroned in inherited place.
I'm thankful for hearts with deep sympathy thrilled,
Who care for the weary, the weak, and the chilled;
For boys and for girls to inherit the land
With spirits alert, and the will to command
Past, present, or future, whate'er may befall,
I've thanks in my heart for the blessings of all!
