Z. Warsaw, Dec. 19.-Wolfe Linden

at the instance Of the American secret
service for alleged connection with
the Wall Street bomb explosion of
September, 1920. has made three
written statements to the police, one
of which, in English, covers his ac-
dvities for the last 16 years.
Blacksmith Made Bomb
Sylvester Cosgrove, the operative
who brought about L,ndenfeld's ar
rest yesterday cRbled the department
of justice the name of blacksmith,
who according to Lindenfeld manu-
factured the bomb and engineered
the details for the explosion. Cos
grove declares that Lindenfeld's con-
fess1on ,corroborates his previous
statements that the plot was financed
in Moscow, and that the motive was
to kill J. p. Morgan, striking terror
into America and showing the world
that Wall Street was not beyond de-
fiance. t
Active In Politics
The Polish authorities are particu-
larly interested in Lindenfeld's Rus

that he was then active in the Polls
Social Democratic party opposing
Russian rule, but that he turned
. traitor to the Poles joining the Rus

against the Polish revolutionaries

the purpose of putting on record be-

objections by Mr.. de Valera and his

Cadmium Found in FAC Ores.

Cadmium, a metallic element discoy-
cred in 1917 by Stronger, is not
found native, but occurs as the sui
phide in the mineral greenockite, and
in association with zinc ores. Green
ockite is found in Bohemia and in
Hungary, and also in Lehigh county,
Pennsylvania, but in too small guam
titles to be of commercial Importance.
Cadmium is a constituent of most zinc
ores, and as it is more volatile than
zine it passes over first, in the reduc-
ton of such ores, as cadmium oxide.
This is Collected, mixed with charcoal,
and the mixture heated in iron tubes,
from which the cadmium &stills over
in more or less impure state. In
order To- purify it, See Retal is redis-
titled and the product dissolved In
hydrochloric acid, from which solution
metallic cadmium is precipltated with
zinc. Most OF the cadmium of COM
meree comes from Silesia, but small
quantities are produced in the Joplin
(Mo.) district.
