nation that has reached the police
from sources which they decline to
disclose.
According to the reports, today's
demonstration will be against public
officials, big bankers and another

POST EXTRA GUARDS.
New York is uneasy today, as re-
suit of the reports. and the police, by
placing extra guards around all pub
lie buildings and churches and
throughout the financial district. re
veal that they are not regarding the
warnings lightly, but are taking every /,
precaution to prevent repetition Of
Thursdays disaster.
Alexander J. BrailOvsky, seIf-con-
fessed radical and member of the
editorial staff Of n local Russian
language newspaper, is held by police
and Department OF Justice agents
today in connection with the Wall
street explosion on Thursday In
which more than thirty persons were
killed and hundreds severely injured.
Brailovsky was arrested in the
basement of the publication office of
the Russian Voice, charged with
being an undesirable citizen. He was
taken as a result of an anonymous
letter received by Chief Inspector OF
Police Lahey.
Police declared Brailovsky was
standing at TIVE corner of Maiden Lane
and Nassau street with two other men
less than half an hour after the ex-
plosion. All Of the men were laugh
ing in good humor over something.
Brailovsky was grilled for two hours,
when he admitted serving two
year sentence for a political offenss
in Siberia as an anarchist.
WORKING ON CLUES.
Department Of Justice agents. work
ing in close cooperation with the
New York police, devoted their ener-
gies today to running out the RED"
clues afforded by the red-stamped cir
culars and other things not men
toned, while local police sought
identity of the horse and wagon
blown to pieces when the bomb ex-
ploded. Secret Service operatives in
timated the explosion might have
been the work OF the Gallant group
of Italian anarchists, the Same band
suspected of having engineered tho
bomb explosions in eight cities on the
night of June 2, 1919.
1t was expected that Edwin p.
Fischer, who warned his friends to
keep out of Wall street" shortly be-
fore the explosion occurred, would De
extradited to New York from Hamil-
ton, Ontario, tomorrow. Detective
Mccoy, of the New York police, Is on
route to Hamilton today to take charge
of Fischer and arrange for final ex-
tradition.
DRIVER MAY BE DEAD.
Intense interest has been excited
by the declaration that the only un-
identified victim Of the Thursday ex-
plosion whose body remains unclaimed
at the morgue, may have been the
driver of the vehicle containing the
bombing device.
This suspicion was intensified when
the autopsy by Medical Examiner
Norris revealed a piece of heavy pol
ished metal lodged in the outer
muscles of the abdomen, which had
the appearance of being a part Of
the outer casing of the bomb.
This fact and the unusual circum-
stances that two whole days had
elapsed without any Identification or
claim for the body being made caused
the authorities to begin to look upon
this unclaimed body in n new light. a
Police officials declare that in un<i
usual disasters of this kind the identi-
fication of all bodies are usually made
promptly as thousands visit the
places where unidentified bodies are
held, some because relatives or
friends are actually missing, and
others because they wish to make
sure that no one related to them "
among the victims.
The police, therefore, are more and
more inclined to the belief that this
unidentified young man may remain
mystery, not entirely because he
has no friends or relatives, but be-
cause II may be dangerous for those
who know him to claim his body.
SIMILARITY IN BOMBS.
In drawing similarity between the
destruction of Thursday and that OF
June ., 1919. George Lamb, head of
the local Department OF Justice, had
this TO say:
There was similarity in tho kind
OF bomb used in each instance. Like
wise the same method of threater-
ing the public was employed In stuff
ing circulars into letter boIes after
ward. Those of the Juno outrAHcs
were printed In old style type upon
pink paper. whereas the oircufaru
