NINE CH|CAGOANS ARE UNDER ARREST
Police Take Action is Result Of
 Bomb 0utrl66

Chicago, Jan. 50 (AP) - The "Bomby" days of Chicago were splin- tered by police lightning yesterday when nine men were arrested as members of what Deputy Commits sioner O'Connor has called the bomb trust
 A raid on . near-northside hotel where three men and woman were taken, frustrated, police believe, an attempt to bomb the city-owned Lawndale Isolation hosiptal. as am other dynamite intimidation of the administration of Mayor Thompson. Homes of two of his closest political associates, City Comptroller Charles Fitzmorris and Dr. William H. Reid, were bombed last week.
 Walter C. Walker, assistant state $ attorney, said he believed the hotel raid and the investigation preceding it had supplied sufficient events to warrant the asking of "a score or more" indictments from the grand jury today. Underground channels carried word of the threatened bomb- ing to the police. The same under ground tipsters gave the information on which police went to Room 30l of a hotel on North State street and arrested three men and a woman.
 Police said they found nitro glycerin, hammers, drills, percussion caps and short lengths of rope in the room. which was occupied by George Rossi,. alias Freeman, and Hazel Free man, his wife. These two, together with Ernest Neitsch and Allen Mo- nan, were arrested.
 Five other arrests were made dur ing the day and night, but all were released under bond.
 Police continued to guard the Sher- idan road apartment in which the mayor lives. One tenant already has moved out, explaining that his mother was too nervous to withstand the ex- citement incident to the threats.
 Deputy O'Connor said he had learned the bombing trust has a price scale of s25 to ss,OOO, the charge de- pending upon the kind of bombs to be used, the danger involved and the prominence of the intended victim. A defense fund of several dollars also is available to the bombers, he said.

WOMEN'S ACTIVITY
 IS NOT APPROVED
Roosevelt Abjtck to Two Ranks of Democndc Wortas

Washington, Jan. 90 (AP)-Mrs
 Franklin D. Roosevelt in charge oi women's activities of the New York Democratic State Committee, is out of sympathy with two Washington organizations-the National Women's Democratic Law Enforcement League and the Federation of Democratic Women.
 A division with the law enforce ment league was noted in letters ex- changed between Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Jesse w. Nicholson, the leagues president, in which the New York woman declined an invitation to at- tend the organizations recent con- vention here. Another letter. made public in New York, expressed Mrs. Roosevelt's objection to the federa- tion's stand against legislation sup ported by the children's bureau, and questioned its right to title that im- piled that it represents the over. whelming sentiment of the women ot the democratic party"
 The letter to Mrs. Nicholson sug- gested that the league should change its title to National Woman's Dry Enforcement League" unless it IS making as great an effort in behalt of the fourteenth and fifteenth, or voting, amendments as it is in support of the prohibition amendment.
 Mrs. Roosevelt said she was per- sonally Absolutely dry but that she disagreed with those 'who think this question the question of vital import ancc today" There seems, she add ed, "a great deal of muddled think ing" especially among certain women, as to how to obtain temperance.
 In her reply Mrs. Nicholson ex- pressed regret that Mrs. Roosevelt was following the "reactionary re- pubIicans in dragging in the four teenth and fifteenth amendments" We favor broadly law enforcement, she said of her organization, with special emphasis on the eighteenth amendment because its violation is just now peculiarly fragrant. Gov. Smith is opposed to the eighteenth amendment and no denunciation by his adherents of alleged violations of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend ments will make respectable his con- tempt for the eighteenth"
 The letter to Mrs. Mortimer w. West, president Of the Federation of Democratic Women, said the organi- zations title suggested national mem bership and added that Ito democratic women of this state and in the nation your attitude toward the children's bureau legislation is abhorrent."
 Tt seems to me a wicked thing she declared, flor any women, daring to call themselves federation, to be so ignorant of the good which has been effected by that bureau. I be- lieye there are many democratic wom- cn who will not wish to have it be- lieved that they back the sentiments voiced by your organization

'COL. BURPEE LAUDS
 REV.fR. b0JNOWSKI
FeicihtS Him on Reaching
 @rd Year N Priest

Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor 0, Sacred Heart church. is in receipt of . letter. under date of January 90. from Col. Charles W. Burpee oi Hartford, in which the military man compliments tho priest on reaching his s3d anniversary in the priest hood. The letter follows:
 "Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski
 New Britain.
 "Connecticut:
 Reverend Sir:
 With all you have had on your mind you reasonably have forgotten an incident of Thanksgiving Day, 1s17.-the day your Polish Legion started for the Canadian camp. You had honored me with the privilege of presenting a stand of colors to the Legion. My own duties here were taking all of my time, but on that day the usual New England family dinner was to be held at my broth CTS house. Something. however, impelled me strongly to accept your invitation. It was one of the most impressive incidents in my experi- ence during the World War period a complete revelation to me. The splendid buildings I saw. the enthu- siasm to say nothing of the overflow ing generosity of the people, the sight in that hall as all stood at attention when the colors were brought forward, the charming young ladies who were looking after the interests of the volunteers, the young lady who made the address from the platform when the colors were brought out and through it all and in 1t all your great heart and wonderful management and control.
 T felt then very grateful to you for having brought this into my life, but did not formally express it be- cause it seemed to me that any ex- pression would sound commonplace in the great rush Of events.
 "One material result of the in- c,dent was my being able to reassure doubting government officials when a Polish demonstration was being prepared in this city q while after that, and the result was most happy, in all it's details.
 Last night I read in The Press the story of your career. I am now engaged, what time I can spare, in writing history of Hartford County. had in my notes a memorandum relative to you and your work, but it was not until now that I got an appreciation of how much more there was to that work than I had realized. It comes in so well with my thought of Americas indebted ness to certain of the men who have come to our shores. Our native public, l think. are coming to ap- preciate that more and more, and history should make them appreciate it still more strongly. Such evidence as this your life furnishes must be woven into history carefully and ef- fectively-not that in my case I have the space that I would like. but what is there must carry the right words.
 50 again I have cause to rejoice in you and your work. and this time I venture to add this to the tributes you should be receiving from many sources. May your anniversary be full of the consciousness of we'll doing.
 Yours very truly,
 Charles w. Burpee"

SPANISH SOIL IS
 TAKEN ID FRANCE
VIII Be UsM u Burial Of
 BllsCo IblnM

Madrid, Spain, Jan. % (AP)-De- termined that Vicente Blasco Ibanex who died m exile from Spain, should be buried in Spanish soil . group oi his friends are taking the soil with them to Mentone, France, his last resting place. They are also taking . silk flag of Valencia, his birthplace.
 Thus the Republican novelist. who said that he would never return to Spain, not even in death, while it was . monarchy, will rest underneath Spanish soil on his beloved Riviera.
 The soil was taken from his garden among the orange groves ot Valencia, where Ibanez wrote or planned the novels which brought him fame.
 It was estimated by friends here to- day that Ibanez left 5,N0,0W pesetas (roughly $ss0,000).
 "The European war found 1banez in straitened financial condition" . friend told the Associated Press cor respondent. "He had no funds and no savings.
 "When he published The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, he nev- CT dreamed it would bring him such great financial returns. Most of the royalties he devoted to helping France and to creating broadly senti- ment in foreign countries. At about that time a woman employe of the American embassy in Madrid asked Ibanez' permission to translate the Four Horsemen into English and publish the book in the United States.
 Remembering that none of his earlier works were best sellers in the United States and anxious fo give every cent to the allied cause, he sold the book rights for $500. However, the phenomenal sale of the book made him better known in America and resulted in his tour of the United States. He signed contracts from which he realized as much as 3,O0,- 600 pesetas ($2lo,0oo) annually in 1921 and 1922
 "Blasco was a spender. Having tasted the bitter side of life and hay ing won fame and fortune he spent lavishly and only of late had he begun to store away money and provide for his family"
 Mentone, France, Jan. g (AP)- Vicente Blasco Ibanez, cxiled from Spain, will be buried tomorrow wrapped in a Nalcncian flag on the Riviera. In his last will, the novelist refused to allow his body to be taken to spain for burial. The will said:
 "Dead or alive, as long as the pres ent regime exists in Spain, l do not want to return there. My transfer to my home would be gloried in by my enemies
 A silk standard, copy of the ban ner of Fl Cid Campcador, captured by the citizens of Valencia from the Moors, will be his shroud. Numerous delegations are coming to Mentone from the region of Valencia to pay him final tribute

 Rau Call in Catholic Churches.
 The second annual roll call of the Catholic Near East Welfare associa- tion was taken yesterday in the Catholic churches when contribu- tions for 1928 were received.
 The appeal was issued with the approval of Bishop Milan. through whose cooperation this diocese is taking part in the crusade of mercy being waged On behalf of Pope Plus NJ by the association in the Near East and Russia. The diocese of Hartford last year took an active part in the movement which was lauded by Pope Plus as a "magnifi- cent success" and which enabled the Holy See not only to meet the pressure of requests for succor in Asia Minor and Greece. but provided funds aggreg gating S10o,oo0 from the vatican's purse for the relief Of Mis- sissippi flood victims.
 The 1928 appeal, according to Prof. Edmund A. Walsh. vice presl- dent of Georgetown University and president of the association. is to insure the continuance of the asso- ciation's welfare and educational ac- tivities in the Near East. and to eX- pand them if this is possible. With the support of it's membership the Catholic Near East Welfare asso- citation plans to carry forward the papal program of establishing new orphanages. trade and agricultural schools for refugee children and clinics for the sick.
 To include in its operations measures for the care and educa- tion of many more of the hordes of waifs and street urchins now grow Ing up under conditions approach ing savagery throughout the coun- tries of the Near East and Russia is one of the chief objectives of the 1928 program of the association, Prof. Walsh said. It was recently estimated by krupskaya- the widow of Lenin, that there were no less than seven millions of such chil- dren in Russia alone.
 Assisting in the rehabilitation Of refugees, whole colonies of whom have established themselves in spots where facilities are inadequate to meet the heavy burden they impose, is another important item in the associations plans. During the year just ended some relief has been ex- tended to Syrian refugees driven to the shores of Palestine by recent wars, and help has been given Greek and Armenian families driven out of their homes following the Smyrna disaster. now living by what scant means are offered in 2 refugee set clement in Greece.
 The work of aiding Russian ref ugee youths in continental cities, started by the late Cardinal Mer- cier, is now being carried on by the Catholic Near East Welfare associa- ton, Hundreds of these young men in Louvain. Danzig and Berlin are being educated with funds provided by the association, so that they may be able to provide for themselves i'll future.

FIFTY QUAKES
SHAKE MEXICO

Mexico City, June 1S.-R-Ter-
ror reigned in central and southern
Mexico today after earthquakes had
shaken the region from the Gulf Of
Me-ico to the Gulf Of Tehuantepec
for two days.
Apparently the only casualties &C.
Cured in the state Of Oaxaca, dis
patches from there stated: There
were casualties and numerous
houses collapsed" The number Of
the victims was not given.
In many places people were
camped IN the open, refusing to re-
enter their homes in fear of new
tremors.
Oaxaca was just beginning to re-
cover from an earthquake Of two
months ago and was the center Of
the disturbance. Fifty distinct
shocks were felt there in the first
hour of the quake Saturday night
and tremors of lesser intensity were
felt Sunday. Streets in the city Of
Oaxaca were cluttered with the
debris Of fallen walls.
Heavy seas rushed inland at
Puerto Angel fora distance Of sixty
yards. Various warehouses along
the waterfront were destroyed.
Big fissures were opened in the
hills along the railroad tracks at
Puchutla and landslides were
threatened.
Some casualties occurred at Mia
huatlan and the property damage
was heavy.
In Mexico City the earthquakes
were felt a. late as $3.50 last night
and these widened the cracks which
had appeared in the streets and
pavements. Many plate glass win
dows we're shattered in the business
section and a few adobe walls fell.
