Infernal Machines Sent to Many Promin

archists Postoffice Department's Clev
er Work Frustrates Plans of the Reds.
Now York. April :;n. Every agency
of the national and municipal govern
nii'iil was at work tonight trying to track
the 'reds'' responsible for the terrorist
In. ml. plot which startled the country to
day. Sixteen internal machines weir found,
literally by chance, early todav in the
general postotlice of tins eit.v. Appar
ent l they were identical with six others
which went through the mail safely and
were delivered to the pel sons to whom
they were addressed. Kurt uuately, how ever,
none of the intrude.! victims has
been injured thus far. How many oth
ei s have been mailed no one ran tell.
from all the information available to
night it was apparent the inakois of the
bombs hoped to exterminate every one
who has been prominent ly involved in the
prosecution or deportation ol member
ot the I. W. V.
Not only were ollict'is ol the immigra
tion bureau iiiaiked tin destruction but
also the authors of the bill which would
have stopped immigration tor a year.
This measure would have made it difli-
cult for Russian radicals to gain access
to this country.
Agents of the department of justice
said they believed the mailing of the
bombs wast timed to cause a reign of ter
ror on May day, observed throughout the
world not only by peaceful labor organ
izations, but the most pronounced radi
cals. It was recalled that imlicals in
this country had threatened a deniniisfj a

were discovered in the griioinl pnstuffiee
here todav.
A prelim iua i y invest igat ion convinced
the postotlice authorities that they had
unearthed a country wide plot of terror
isls to assassinate highlv placed per
sons as a deinoustiat ion on May I.
A sweeping inquiry by postotlice in
spectois. agents of the depaitiuent of
justice ami police experts was begun at
once into the activities of a ua i ,-h ists in
this city.
At the same time a warning was issued
bv the district attorney's othce to all
public otlicials, especially judges. to
watch for packages which might be de
livered to them, ami a guard was thrown
around the criminal courts building.
The Intended Victims.
The addresses on the Iti packages sei.
ed here were all typewritten. The style
and a couple of minor errors led officials
to believe that the addressing was done
bv a foreigner. The addresses were:

Lives Saved by a Slip.
A slip on the part of the sender of
the infernal inai'liitu', coupled with the
sharp wits of a postotlice clerk, were all
that prevented the bombs from lieing de
livered. The lti packages were mailed
Saturday night in a box somewhere in
the neighborhood of .'tdtli and Broadway.
They had the correct pistage for the
parcel post but were sealed with red waf
ers and therefore could be accepted only
as firstclas matter. Accordingly they
were sent to the general postoflice to be
referred back to the sender.
Each parcel had the name of (iimliel
Brothers printeil on it. and the depart
ment store was notified but failed to an
swer. Early this morning Charles Kap
lan, a postoffice clerk, while on his way
home from work, reail in a morning paper
of the bomb sent to Senator Hardwick,
of Georgia. The description of the pack
age containing the bomb struck him and
he hurried back to the postoffice and ex
amined the detained parcels. He then
notified the superintendent of his sus
picions and the packages were sent to
Chief Postoffice Inspector W. E. Cochran.

eels was opened. It contained a small
phial fastened to the top of a polished
bass wood cylinder in such a manner that
the cylinder i o,:ll no; be opened with
out breaking the bottle. The breaking
of the bottle would release a chemical
which in turn would ignite three fulmin
ate of iiierciir.v caps resting in a stick of
dvnainite. The whole bomb showed evi
dences of skilled workmanship.
Later in the day a representative of
(iimbel Hi others called on Inspector
Cochran uml. after examining the par
cels, declared the wrappings had never
originated in the department store. He
pointed out that the outside covering
was of liighl; irlazed expensive type of
paper, such a- would not be used by any
department store for mere wrapping pur
poses. The inner box containing the
wooden clyimlt r was also made of a very
fine grade of g een cardboard, unlike any
in ordinary use Each of the parcels
measured eight inches in length, two in
depth and two in width.
On the back i-f each parcel was in red:
"Novelties A Sample.'
Inspector Cochran expressed the lielief
that this was nn ingenious effort on the
part of the senders to induce the secre
tary of an intended victim to hand the
parcel unopened to his chief. The offi
cials who are In charge of the investiga
tion believe that the very elaborateness
of the would-be assassins' preparations
may prove their undoing as affording
certain clues to their identity.

Sermon on Sinfulness of Sin Lasf
Night Church Crowded to Doors.
Pi his ml i od in lot y renin t ks at last

so he told his congregation last night;
ami he declared that (iastonia citixens
ought to be proud of its school superin
tendent, principal ami teachers.
Masiug his remarks on Romans, tith
chapter ami l.ith verse. Mr. CulpepMr
preached a convincing and forceful ser
mon on "The Exceeding Sinfulness of
Sin." Sin, In- declared, was first Iwrn
not as is generally thought in hell, but
in Heaven, an nget having U'en given au
thority to rule over the earth assumed too
much ami left the first estate. Other
bjithplaces of sin lie stated were, in a
woman's heart and a man's will. Hin
not only exceeds the power of God, he
diM'lareil, but it exceeds life ami even
death itself. The preacher drew a com
parison with the power of sill with the
exceeding love and righteousness of

drinking, gambling and the use of pro
fanity by church nu'iiilx'rs lie stated that
they weie nothing more or less than
