st. Patrick's cathedral, about mile
north OF the bombed stations. He was
described as a Russian, ID years in
America. Search of his rooms discloS-

ing scene and book "The Life His
tory of a Traitor" this was the story
of q Russian syp.
Police said Seigel told of working in
western harvest fields, that he declared
he was not convinced that Sacco and
Vanzetti had fair trial and that he
expressed himself as opposed to capital
punishment. After a rigorous examina-
ton, Seigel was held without bail on
o charge of being implicated with the
bomb explosions, but William Ryan,
assistant district attorney, said he had
no proof that Seigel was guilty and
had asked that he be held as pre-
caution.
The New York Sacco- Vanzetti de-
fenSe committee ridiculed the idea that
the bombs have. been placed by friends
of the radicals.
"We have waged a peaceful strug-
gle for seven years." Rose Baron, Sec
retary Of the Sacco- Vanzetti ener-
gency committee, said, "and it is ridi-
culous to think we would now resort
to outrages."
The police belief OF a Sacco- Van
zetti connection was fostered by re-
ports of bombingS in Baltimore, Phil
adelphia, BuenoS Aires and Monte
video. But they said that at no time
did they have any proof shortly after
threatened strike was settled several
days ago, O. bomb was found in a sub
, way. But police declined to give in
formation regarding their switch to
the theory that persons with 6 griev-
ance against the transit companies
had placed the bombs.
'The bombs were placed in Twenty
eighth street stations of the Manhat-
tan and the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit companies. One on Fourth avenue
and the other on Broadway. Neither
is an express stop, and just before mid
night, the hours of the explosions, the
stations are not usually crowded.
Assistant District Attorney Ryan
said that not a fragment of either
bomb had been found, and he attri-
buted this to the factthaF 1oho~ors had
been rushed to the station to clear
the lines.
Despite the police theories, strike
guard was established on all transit
lines. Commissioner Warren cancell-
ed all police vacations and co., '---'
would hold his force of $4,000 men
ready for emergencies. Special guards
were posted at city hail. the mayors
home, the federal buildings and the
homes of prominent men.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6 .(F1-A telephoned
threat to bomb the federal building
here today aroused authorities to take
drastic action to prevent a Sacco-
Vanzetti demonstration of violence.
Government agents armed with auto
matte shotguns began patrolling the
building and the police put every
known radical under surveillance.
Postal employees were cautioned to
scrutinize all packages and vehicles
entering the traffic tunnels. Secret
service men mingled with the crowds
in and near the building. Postal sub
stations also were under guard.
The threat of violence was received
by Charles Nagel, custodian of the
government building.
'''Look out" said voice, 1--WE will do
to you what we did last time" The
reference was to the bombing of the
postoffice in 1913 when four persons
were killed and 30 injured following

was filed in the state supreme court
and a request for q stay was pre-
sented to justice Of the superior
court in Boston
Monday at 10 a. m. was set as
the time for a hearing on the habeaS
corpus petition. Governor Fuller, who
was at his summer home. in Rye
Beach, N. H., sent word to his
secretary, Herman A. Macdonald, that
he would not act on the petition for
stay until Monday.
Justice Edward T. Broadhurst OF
the superior court at the Suffolk

Arthur D. Hill, chief counsel for the
defense, that he was without author
ity to act on his request that hg

An immature watermelon. when

loose paint; an immature specimen
will not peel in this manner.
If you still have doubts, ask
your retailer to plug the melon

buying part OF a cut watermelon,
remember that the flesh should be
bright. red, crisp and juicy, well
