HOME OF MEXICAN ARCH BISHOP IS
 TORN BY BOMBS
Radicals Are Suspected Be- cause of Prelate's Stand
 Against Extremists. U. s. Firm Attacked
By Associated Press

Mexico City, February 6.--Ihe reSi- dence of the arch bishop of Mexico, the Most Rev. Jose Mora, was bombed early this morning. About the same time bomb was exploded at the entrance of the building occupied by Juergens & Co., American mahufacturers of jewels.
 There were no casualties in either case. These Doinhings are declared to have. been at most a. sabotage by radical labor elements, which for some time have as- stunned a threatening attitude. Remnants of the bombs were found, and in both cases the fronts of the buildings were entirely wrecked.
 The arch bishop, because of his ener- getic stand against radicalism and his activity in organizing Catholic worhmeh to combat the extremists, has recelFed many threats, culminating in todays S az gression. The two bombs were eXplooed shortly before dawn, when there were no people about which explains the lack of casualties for the explosions were oI great force.
