GUARDS POSTED
At i. S. BUILDINGS
Precautions Taken Here as
Result of Sacco and Ven
Zetti Sentences.

Guards have been thrown about
the State, War and Navy Build
ing and several other Government
buildings, it became known today, as
a precaution against violence of any
nature in connection with the Sacco-
Venzetti case. officials were careful to
point out that no overt act occasion
ed the assignment of the guard, but
that this precaution was merely con-
sidered advisable in view of the wide
spread agitation which has met the
death sentence of the two Italians.
While no precautions of this sort
are being taken at the home of Sec.
rotary Kellogg at Nineteenth and r
streets, it was explained that a pri.
vate guard has been stationed in the
corridor of the State Department, out.
side Mr.. Kelloggs office.
Kellogg Action Is Explained.
Secretary Kellogg had nothing TO do
with this detail, it was said. as the
request was made Of Col. u. S. Grant.
Sd, superintendent of public buildings
and parks without the Secretary's
knowledge. At the White House it
was said thai both the Executive
offices and the Presidents temporary
home at Is Dupont Circle, are under
such excellent protection that it was
not considered necessary to add to the
guard on duty at both these places.
Guards have been placed about vari-
Gus Government buildings to keep a
sharp lookout, it was explained, for
any suspicious-looking characters.
Owing to the small number of guards
available it was impossible to place ad-
ditional men at these buildings. The
hours of those on duty consequently
were shifted so that there would be
always one or two guards stationed
outside.
This was regarded as necessary, it
was explained by Capt. Parsons, to
detect any one who might try to place
a bomb in window or doorway. The
buildings so guarded, in addition to
the State, War and Navy buildings,
are the Interior, Navy and Munitions
Buildings, in Potomac Park.
Watch KelIOgg's Home.
No special guard has ever been as
signed at Secretary Kellogg's home,
it was said today, but the police on
duty in that area have been under
instructions to pass the residence oc-
casionally simply as a matter of pre-
caution.
Saturday night, following the Sacco-
Venzetti sentence, the Police Depart
ment acted on it's own initiative and
assigned two special officers to watch
the home Of Secretary Kellogg.
These officers were withdrawn Sun
day and the regular patrolman on
that beat was instructed to spend
more time than ordinarily in the vi
cinity of the house and to pay par
ticular attention to any suspicious
appearing persons in the neighbor-
hood
