ANARCHISTS LAUNCH
AGAINST GOVERNMENT LAST NIGHT
May Day Follies Followed By Explosion in eight .
Cities. Pamphlet Found Announcing Plot
And Signed "Anarchist Fighters"
Washington, June 3 The police today believe that they
have identified the man blown to pieces last night in the attempt
to kill Attorney General Palmer with a bomb as a Philadelphia
anarchist
They also are confident that the nation wide plot against
the lives of government officials and prominriet business men
was laid in that city.
A blood stained conductor's identification check was found
in front of Palmer's residence today which showed that the an
archist arrived at Washington at ten-thirty last night. He went
directly from the union station at Washington to Palmer's home
and only a few minutes before
from a streetcar a few blocks
South Carolina.
The police would not reveal
confident that the facts they have
lead quickly to the apprehension of the anarchist's associates
who they believe are responsible for the May Day plotting
which sent infernal machines thru the mails.
The police are confident that
would not have miscarried if the
toe on the low coping six feet
tripped the man and he If ell. Concussion apparently set off the
bomb.
Washington, June 3. The
last night are apparently a sequel
outrages when infernal machines were mailed to government
officials and public men, and are believed by officials heTe to be
another move in the anarchist movement to overthrow the or
ganized government of the United States.
Evidence that the plot was carefully planned was contained
in a pamphlet found at the home of Attorney General Palmer,
whose residence in the fashionable section here Was partly
wrecked by a bomb. The pamphlet was one of a large number
scattered about after the bomb
to bits the author of the crime and was signed "The Anarchist
Fighters." It was undoubtedly intended as a signal to show
that a reign of terrorism is on.
The full list of cities in which
is: New York, Washington, Cleveland, Pittsburg, two at Phil
adelphia, two at Boston, Patterson and Newtonvillet Mass.
