Bomb" to Blow Up
MayfOwer Booze
Package Probably

washington. Feb. 15-Investiga-
ton of an alleged plot to blow up
the presidential yacht Mayf1ower
continued tonight, but the investi-
sators-secret service agents and
washington police, were understood
10 nave reached the conclusion that
the supposed bomb was no more
deadly than the average run of boot
leg whiskey.
An enlisted man of the navy was
stiil held in custody at the navy
yard, but the belief seemed to be
prevalent at police headquarters
that some charge involving an at :
tempt to get liquor aboard the Nav
mower would be preferred against
him rather than charges that he had
conspired to blow up the presidential
yLcht. -
The man under arrest, whose name
was withheld, was said to have told
poatsWain's mate on the Nav
flower that it would mean money for
him If he happened to be on duty at
q certain hour and permit a friend.
to take package aboard the craft.
The boatswain's mate reported the
matter to Captain Holmes, COM
mnding the yacht. and the man was
arrested Inability of the secret
service agents to find the bomb"
has hampered them in their investf-
cation.
