US. CONSULA7EAT
nice IS BOMBED
Probably Work Of Sacco Van.
Ed SympathiZerS

NicG, France, July 10 R-A
bomb was exploded today in front
of the building in which the Ameri-
can consulatet Is located. No one
was hurt and only slight damage
was done.
The police have started an imme-
liate investigation.
Consular officials today expressed
the belief that the bombing was the
work of someone who wished to
make a demonstration In behalf of
Nicolo Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti without actually causing blood
shed.
Nearly every window was broken
in the consulate, but there was no
other damage.
Since the conviction by the Mas
sachusetts court on the charge of
murder of Nicol Sacco and Bartolo-
meo Vanzetti. American diplomatic
missions in Paris, Sofia, Lisbon,
Buenos Aires and Montevideo have
been bombed or threatened by SYM
pathizers of the condemned men.
This suggests that the bomb report
ed to have been set off in Nice be-
fore the American consulate quar-
tiers possibly was the work of Sacco-
vanzetti sympathizers.
In several instances the buildings
housing the American missions were
damaged, but there has been no
American loss OF life.
Last summer, the state depart
ment advised American diplomatic
representative to take adequate
precautions against outrages by
sympathizers Of the two men.
