superior to the ordinary cathartic and

Taking No Part in the
Activity, Says Official

The nearest thing to a thrill in the
anarchist bomb plot scare which the
police have been staging since o'clock
Thursday night developed last night,
when somebody telephoned to a negro
porter in the Offices of the United
States Secret Service, in the Custom
House, that bomb had been placed
in the Custom House and was sched-
uled to explode at midnight.
The call was received at 1O:3O
o'clock: In less than twenty minutes
Bowling Green was alive with the
noise Of high-powered automobiles, po-
licemen, detectives, reserves and thirty
Secret Service operatives, under COM
mand of Captain Peter Rubino. A cor
don of police was thrown around the
Custom House, while the Secret Serv-
ice men secured the building for the
bomb. After a thorough search had
convinced the Federal men that there
was nothing like bomb there, they
on guard.
Porter Gets Message
The porter, Joseph Pryor, was clean
ing one of the offices of the Secret
Service when the telephone bell rang
AS he put the receiver to his ear and
said "Hello!" he heard this message:
"There is bomb all set in the Gus
tom House and it will explode at mid
night"
The porter hung up the receiver in
terror and notified John Connors,
superintend dent of the building, who
telephoned to Police Headquarters. For
a few minutes the telephone bells in
several precinct station houses jingled
merrlly--then everybody made rush
for Bowling Green. For an hour they
waited. Nothing happened.

been sleeping through one of the least
thrilling anarchist bomb plot scares
