tice.

day prosecution would follow the pub

against what you might call deliberate
offenders is being assembled, and they
will be prosecuted. Before we reach
the prosecution stage, however, ! in
tend to publish the names OF those
persons known to be holding gold in
defiance of the Presidents orders"
The Attorney General said the cam
paign by the department to get hoard
ers to turn in gold had resulted in
s23, ,0O0, 900 being restored to the banks.
He added that he wished the present
persuasive campaign to be carried out
to give everybody the fullest chance to
do his duty to the Government, and
If they do not then pressure will be put
on them"

sons holding S1.141, ,819 of gold had
defied the Government by refusing to
return it. 1t Is this list he plans to

decide to publish first the names CT the
largest hoarders of gold and follow that
with those holding lesser amounts.

IN VATICAN BLAST
Authorities Assert Explosion
Was Result of Strained Re-

VATICAN CITY, June 26.-The bomb
which exploded yesterday in the portico
of st. Peters was manufactured in
Spain and brought here by Demetrio
Solamon, who carried a Spanish pass
port, the police declared today after
they had arrested Soiamon, charging
him with planting the explosive.
The authorities asserted the explosion
was the result Of the present strained
relations between the Vatican and Spain

and the latae senteniae excommunica-
tions of members of the Spanish gov
ernment.
The pomb caused panic in crowd
of Holy year pilgrims. -Four persons
were injured, but there was little prop
erty damage.
Ran as Bomb Exploded.
Solamon was borp at Alexandria,
Egypt, later became Greek citizen
and finally Spaniard. He left Spain,
the police said, on Thursday night and
came directly to Rome. arriving yester-
day morning. He went straight to st.
Peters, where he deposited the bomb.
the authorities asserted, In heavy
cardboard package.
His arrest came about in a curious
fashion Police related that Solamon
stood in the middle of st. Peters Square
near the ancient Egyptian obelisk until
the bomb exploded, whereupon he began
to run away.
A Fascist militia officer in civilian
clothes started after him. He had
passed the huge fountains to the left
of the piazza when he put his hand in
side his coat and threw something into
one of the fountains. the police said,
and then dashed on, eluding the pursuer
by darting through the Bernini colon
made to narrow side streets.
The officer, thinking of the object
tossed into the fountain, returned to
the square and flshed out water-soaked
Spanish passport, which he turned over
to the police.
Identified by Attendant.
The police presented the passport to
Giovanni Secchi, checking booth at
tendant, who identified the photograph
as that Of the man who had deposited
the bomb package with him an hour
before the explosion.
A check of outgoing trains failed to
reveal Solamon, and the police then
searched the hotels. The arrest was

private library at the time of the ex-
plosion and thinking that 1t was the
