I'VE have obtained full description
of the man who mailed the package in
the Rue de Pontaise. and believe we
will be able TO locate him without much
trouble. although his anarchist friends
in the Belleville district are keeping
him hidden until the excitement is over,
a high police official declared.
Only few moments before the first
hand grenade was thrown to-day, Pre-

the Spanish Embassy have the Paris
police provided such protection 70 ho

OF the Sale Wagram, while the adjoining
corners rapidly filled with Republican

necessarily. while infantry in the Pepi-
Mere barracks were held in readiness.
The full force of Ambassador Herrick's
protective guard tonight was estimated
at more than 5000
The mass meeting, which was accorded
wide publicity as protest against
putting Sacco and Vanzetti to death,
against the United States Government
and against capitalism. was without un-
toward incident, although the speakers
were bitter in their denunciation OF the
United States Government and Ameri-

manifest their opposition outside the
American Embassy building and the
residence of Ambassador Herrick.

Leulier did not mince his words.

AS the thousands poured out OF the
meeting municipal guards and police

directions along the Avenue Wagram.
The Communists. among whom were
many women. bareheaded and wearing
red flowers or red ribbon in their hair,
