with Mr.. Brewer and ascertain what
facts he had developed, after which
Mr.. Brewer had requested three ad-
ditional months and thereafter sub

referred to the Treasury; that the Sec

stating that out of approximately
500 ,000, 900, 900 principal amount of
securities retired by the register of
the Treasury during the period 1917
to 1922, there had been a loss of only
$13. 400; that, Notwithstanding all this,
the plaintiff persisted and inspired a
congressional investigation, according
to the Secretary, by a committee for
which he was counsel: that no oppor-
tunity was offered the Treasury to
cross-examine witnesses or make eX-
PLANTATION or defense; we say that,
when all these circumstances are con-
sidered, the reasons for the Secre-
tary's comment become apparent.
The communication relates exclusively
to the charges, to the plaintiffs con-
nection Herewith and to the views Of
the Secretary as to the absence Of
any real foundation for such charges
Whether the views expressed by the
Secretary are correct of incorrect is
| not u controlling factor. The question
| is was he justified, in the circum-
stances, In expressing those views?
| We think he was.
In the absence of any averment
, that this communication was pub

| President, to whom it was addressed,
| we may assume that it was not. Ger
| tainly we would not be justified In

| ment OF the Government and member
of the cabinet would make public
such II communication or report in
advance of its receipt by the President
or without the approval of the Presi,
dent. And. since publication of this
official communication or report by

the basis of an action for libel, we

cit is conceded In the briefs of the
parties that this communication

declaration as the date when copies
of the communication were furnished

debris. Firemen donned gas masks
in an effort to locate the helper s

Police and flremen carried several

SO near was their home to the explo-
sion that they were wrapped in blan-

The blast tore down light, telegraph
and trolley wires. A fireboat could
not reach the scene because there was
no power to work draWbridge.
Bricks and pieces Of scaffolding were
tossed ESQ yards. The defamation was

.H|CHER-UPSS SOUGHT
|NCHURCH BOMBING
Dynamiter Slain in Flight by
San Francisco Police.
Wounded Man Held.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. March The
silence of death and the reticence Of
wounded man forced the San Fran
cisco police today to look for higher
ups" in their effort to find a motive
for the latest attempt to bomb the
SITS. Peter and Paul Catholic Church
in the Latin quarter here.
The dead man, who has not been
identified, and his alleged accomplice
were caught in police trap early
yesterday, one being shot to death
in the shadow of the church spires
after he had tossed dynamite bomb
at the entrance and fled.
1t was the fifth attempt in q little
more than a year to wreck the church
with bombs. The four other efforts
resulted in considerable damage, but
no loss Of life. So far the police
think the bombings were the work
of fanatics.
Fuse Snuffed Out.
While two officers turned their
guns on the fleeing men, another Off
Ger snatched up the bomb, which was
made of 26 sticks of dynamite. and
snuffed out the spluttering fuse in
Charles Moss, alias Ce1esten Eek
lund, the wounded man. disclaimed
all connection with the bombing at
tempt, saying he had gone to the
church to pray and was not with
the man who was killed. Ecklund
was shot when, on running from the
scene, he reached for his pocket. A
policeman opened fire and he dropped
with a charge of heavy shot in his
leg. 1t developed that he had been
attempting to pull a Bible, and not
a gun, from his pocket.
The detectives laid an elaborate
trap for. the dynamiters. For several
weeks seven policemen were stationed
inside the church and two in a window
across the street, while a tenth police
man, regularly guarding the church
paraded back and forth in front. The
tenth man feined WEAKNESS as dawn
approached, and after yawning laZily
went inside the church as to sleep.
The concealed policemen commune
Gated by an electric buzzer system, and
after the visible guard had disap
peared, the detectives renewed their
vigilance.
Shots Follow Flight.
Two men approached, one on eacn
side of the street. The unidentified
man dropped the deliberately prepared
bomb inside the church entrance and
fled when the officers ordered him to
halt. Two shots killed him instantly.
Police said Ecklund admitted that
he had been arrested in Seattle as a
wartime l. w. w.
Police surmised, following identified.
ton Of the dead bomber's revolver as
one sold by pawnbroker to G. Ricci,
that the body might be that of Gaetano
Ricci, arrested in Oakland in 1922 dur.
ing the Southern Pacific strike.
Mrs. Adele Motroni of Sacramento
identified the body as that of a man
who had three times tried to bomb
her house in that city, and Manuel
Alvarez, San Francisco, identified it
as that of a fanatic street preacher.
