BOMB PUNTERS
ARE ARRESTER
Chicago, Oct. 4.—^Federal authori
ties at Gary, Ind., where military con
trol was established by Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood after the situation
growing out of the strike of steel
•workers became too threatening for
State authorities to handle, have ar
rested the alleged maker of the E>onrb
exploded on June 3 last in the door
way of the home of A. Mitchell Pal
mer, United States attorney general,
at Washington, and have obtained
evidence clearing up the terrorist
bomb plots of May Day and Jupe 2,
according to authoritative information
here today.
Evidence has also been obtained, it
was said, that revealed the entire ter
rorist organization responsible for the
attempts against the lives of law en
forcement officials throughout the
country who had been active in the
arrests and prosecution of radicals.
The man held in connection with the
Palmer bomb, is said to have< been
the manufacturer of the thirty bombs
*ien tTfirough tFe "maTTS'in 'boxes 4 trr«p=
ped in paper from *the Klmbel Breth-
ers store in New York and timed to
reach their intended victims on May
1st. ‘
The peculiar style of manufacture
with the ingenuous contrivance of the
explosive has linked them unmistak
ably with a basement radical factory
raided at Gary by the federal troop#
It is said.
Since the 1,600 soldiers of the
Fourth and Sixth Divisions took con
trol of Gary investigations have been
shrouded in secrecy. There have been
many arrests made and a strong
stockade was built to keep the pris
oners in.
How many men Resides alleged
bomb makers are held In connection
with the nationwide plots has not
been revealed by the federal authori
ties, civil or military.
A radical leader named Ivanoff now
known, it is said, as the agent who
carried the Gimbel bombs from Gary
to New York for transmission through
the mails is being sought. He was
last seen in Chicago several weeks
agp when he spoke at an I. W. W.
convention. He is supposed to have
gone East.
The gun cotton and other high ex
plosives in the bombs were obtained
from the Aetna Powder Works four
miles east of Gary, it is said.
It also-is Mated that the efforts of
a radical to obtain a further supply
of the explosive led to the raiding of
the cellar bomb factory after federal
operatives had traced him there.
While the federal authorities would
not announce the name of the man
held as the suspected bomb maker, it
was stated that he was steadily em
ployed in the steel mills at Gary until
he went on strike September 22 and
that he was one of the most violent
radical agitators during the early part
of the strike.
Only a few pieces of the bomb ex
ploded at the Palmer home were re
covered and they were so small that
they were regarded as almost value
less as evidence. They were compar
ed with the parts of bombs found in
the Gary basement raid, however, it
is said.
Revelation of the arrest of the alleg
ed bomb maker and the uncovering
of the details of the'Terrorists plots
followed the finding on a striker at
Gary yesterday of four copies of a
hand bill purporting to be a procla
mation of the communist party of
America advocating overthrow of the
military forces at Gary.
Col. W. S. Mapes, commandant of
the troops in the steel one, caused
an investigation to be made of all
printing shops in the district to find-
where the bill was printed, but, it is
said, the search produced no informa
tion. Col. Mapes said he did not be
lieve the strike committee authorized
distribution of the ^ills.
Military authorities at Gary, the
home of the big steel mills, announced
today that they hoped to have the mak
er of the Gimbel and other bombs
which have startled the country, in
the past year, under arrest within a
few hours.
PRESIBENT WILSON
STILE
Physicians Reiterate* That He Mast
Put Aside all Thoughts of His Of-
lice While Convalescing. Grayson
Refuses to Comment on Rumors.
Washington, Oct. 12.—While Presi-
dent Wilson is believed bv his nhvsi-
clan to be on the road to recovery, the
process will be slow and tedious. The
president, it was reiterated today at
the White House, must resign to strict
observance of the physicians’ orders to
put aside all thought of his office while
convalescing, and remain in bed until
danger of a relapse has passed.
Rear Admiral Grayson, the presi-
dent'fs personal physician, and the
physicians he called in more than a
week; ago continue to confine them
selves to terse bulletins twice a day as
far as the public is concerned. That
they are satisfied with the progress
their patient is making is apparent
from the spirit of optimism that per
vades the White House and the re
sentment with which various rumors
as to the president’s “real” condition
-mM-by—WW4e-Hous* officials.
Tonight’s bulletin said: .
"Wite House, October 12, 10 p. m.
The president is in good spirits and
has had a restful day.”
* -v . “Grayson.”
pfesfclent was said by officials
to have spent a quiet and restful Sun
day, although somewhat depressed be-
eautfe of a drizzling rain which began
to fall during the night and continued
all day.
Mrs. Wilson again spent a part of
the day reading to him as has been her
daily custom since his illness, and
strains from the talking machine in
the sickroom could be heard at inter
vals.
.Dr. Grayson and the other physi
cians have adopted a policy of "stand
ing pat” on their bulletins, and will
not even comment on the dally crop
of rumors concerning the president,
that spring Up overnight
Dr. Grayson said he would not com
ment on the published letter written by
Senator Moses of New Hampshipe to
a constituent, saying that the presi-
deiit had a brain lesion. 4 Dr. Grayson
explained that he would not deny the
statement because he would not de
part from his policy of standing on his
official bulletins and refusing to dis
cuss the president’s case further than
the information contained in the bulle
tin.
Senator Moses said tonight that
had written the letter in response to
a request for information and that he
merely had referred to the president’s
disability as had been reported to him.
The senator added that he had not
written the letter for publication.
still Unable to sbeak English, gave
their names as “Joseph Howell” and
“James Smith,” but the senators final
ly accepted the names as an indica
tion of a first step taken toward Am-
ericaUization.
• What they wanted, the Strikers ex
plained, were fewer hours of work
and more wages. They all held up
their hands when Senator Kenyon
asked who had contributed to Red
Cross and Liberty bond funds during
the war, but when requested to give
the same sign to indicate possession
of naturalization papers, there was a
noticeable falling off.
Committeemen were keeping an eye
open all day, as they rode through the
steel district, for signs of the Pennsyl
vania state police. It was not until
.6 p^jm that Jhei^flnally ran across
Sergeant Pete Murphy, a state trooper
at McKeesport. He was questioned by
a group.
"I don’t think I’ve hurt anybody,”
he said when interrogated by his
questioners, “but I’ve clubbed a few
when I had to.” t

visited, she explained by & committee
of strikers, and urged to get her hus
band to stay away from (work. Pen-
tedi, rather shamefacedly, said that
he had done so for a couple of days,
“'because I was afraid and she was
afraid.”
At Clairton some hundreds of strik
ers crowded around the senatorial
party, under leadership of P, H. Gro
gan, secretary of a local strike com
mittee. Tl*ere was some wonderment
among tho rnmmitton—when—Slavs,.

Investigating Committee Goes Into
Homes of Steel Workers and Ylslts
Plants.
Pittsburg, Oct. 10.—Senators inves
tigating the steel strike put in a busy
day In the Pittsburg district, and
viewed] jeveryhing from the (Incan
descent metal in rolling mills to the
culinary equipment in the homes of
the mill workers. They discussed
strike conditions with plant superin
tendents and held informal caucuses
with strikers in the back streets of
Homestead and Clairton.
Chairman Kenyon said they wanted
to be sure and hear both sides, and
volunteer and voluble interpreters
made it easy for the foreign born ele
ment among the strikers to get heard.
At Homestead, just before the party
arrived, there was an exchange of
shots between strikers and an armed
workman, but the committee did not
get up to the front in time to see
anything of the fracus.
In the mills of the Carnegie com
pany, visited at Duquesne and Home
stead, officials would concede that
only a small number of men were
on strike. At Clairton, however, the
senators were told that 1,500 men out
of 5,000 normally employed remained
out.
Strikers in the street meetings with
the senators denied these claims, and
in polyglot fashion asserted that many
thousands of men were missing from
the scene of usual duties.
Chairman Kenyon at Homestead
broke his party up into details of one,
whchi resulted In each senator gath
ering a crowd running up into hun
dreds at almost every front porch
where he stopped. Senator Sterling
of South Dakota, with a cluster of
yeungsters hanging on his coat tails,
was taken into two or three houses
in one block, while one man, acting
as usher, would observe at each door,
“'Here’s the way some more of Judge
Gary’s high paid help has to live.”
Senator Kenyon called in a stenog
rapher to take down some statements
made by Mrs. Joseph Pentedo, wife of
a husky Hungarian mill foreman, who
had refused to strike. She had been
