ONE MAN HELD FOR COMPLICITY IN EXPLOSIONS

Russian Bolshevism Responsible for Outrages Say Police : - All Clues Traced. (By Associated Pre) PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. Jan. 1. Despite the extraordinary measures tak- - en by both the local and federal authorities to apprehend the' perpetrators of the bomb outrages at the homes of three prominent Philadelphians Monday night, only one arrest had been made up to early today. The

prisoner, a well known radical of this city, denied any connection with the explosions. He is being held for further Investigation. . " Every possible clue and theory is being run out by the authorities. Details of police, detectives and depart- , ment of justice agents are conducting a systematic investigation of every club or organization in the city from which pacifist, anti-draft, . socialistic or industrial workers of the world propaganda is circulated. A canvass of the city also will be made to ascertain the character of meetings held in different sections recently by organisations known as "The Deputies of Russia Soviet Workers Colony of Philadelphia and Vicinity." and tho "All

Russia Soviets Committee of America." The socialist headquarters here were raided yesterday and a large quantity of literature seized. No arrests were made. Escaped In Motor Cars. ; William B. Mills, acting superintendent of police, whose apartments were damaged by one of the explosion, said the next forty-eight hours would bring important developments. "We can then tell," he said, "whether this is really a deep-laid plot by the Radicals to spread terror and destruction or whether it is the work of some misguided crank. Personally. I think, from our Investigation so far that it Is real Russian Bolshevism spreading throughout this country through connection with foreign Soviets and' workmen's councils. Every agitator In this city will have to give a complete account of his doings Monday night. Mills said it had been established that the bombs had been set off by a time fuse and that the same person could not have placed the three In such widely separated sections of the

city. He added that he was convinced that four motor cars were used by those responsible for the outrage. ' James T. Cortelyou. chief postal Inspector, said that he had been warned by a former convict several hours before the first bomb exploded that an attempt would be made to blow up the federal building. The warning came by telephone, he said, from a pan who considered himself under obligations to the Inspector. He declared he was convinced the man was "In the confidence of the persons enf:aged in a bombing plot and that he mmediately placed extra guards around the post office, the custom house and the mint. His informant, 'Mr. Cortelyou said, did not mention Anything about blowing up the homes of Justice von Moschzisker, ErneBt T. Trigg and Acting Superintendent Mills which were later wrecked. Mr. Cortelyou believes the explo

sions were planned as a part of an international Bolshevik terrorist movement His department Is co-operating with the city authorities in the investigation.

UNDOING THEIR OWN DIRTY WORK

German officers in auto arranging for digging up of mines they planted along roads, one of the terms of the

armistice.

The Germans in their diabolical way, planted powerful mines in roads over which they expected American and allied troops to pass in chasing the kaiser's crew in the closing days of the war. One of

these mines, if exploded, would have destroyed a regiment of men. One provision of the armistice compelled the Germans to locate these mines for the allied leaders. The photo shows an auto load of

German ofBcewSi through a section of the line Keldby the Canadian forces on the way to locate mines in the vicinity. A white flag1 can be seen attached to the windshield of the car.

ORPHANS MADE INTO "CAREERS" BY AID SOCIETY

Governor of Alaska Among Men Made Into Success by Organization. . (By Associated Press) ' NEW YORK. Jan. 1. America as a land of opportunity even for street waifs, orphans and foundlings was re

called by the recent death in Sitka,

Alaska, of John G. Brady, former

governor of that territory, and the fact

that when a child, young Brady had been taken from an almshouse and

placed in the custody of the Children's Aid society of New York, which edu

cated him and placed him on the road to fame and fortune. .

Hundreds of other cases similar to

ex-Governor Brady's it is said, could

be cited by the organization which for

more than half a century has been taking homeless boys and girls off city streets and sending them to farms in the West where they grew up to be relf-reliant, trustworthy and honored citizens. A certain delicacy surrounds the publication of the names of the more noted of these former waifs, but the report of the Children's Aid society for 1918 shows the following harvest of "careers" up to date: One governor of a state, one governor of a territory (John G. Brady of Alaska); two members of congress, two district attorneys, two sheriffs, two mayors; a justice of the supreme court; a federal judge, four state judges, two college professors, seven high school principals, two school superintendents, an auditor-general of a state, nine members of state legislatures, twenty-four clergymen, one cashier of a life insurance company; two artists, a senate clerk, six railroad officials, eighteen journaists. thirty-four bankers, nineteen physicians, thirty-

five lawyers, 12 postmasters, three contractors, ninety-seven teachers, four civil enginers, "and a vast number of other business and professional men, clerks, mechanics, farmers and their wives ond others who have acquired property and illed positions of honor and thrust." Many Service Men. Among the American forces sent overseas, it is pointed out in the report, are twelve commissioned officers and about 7,000 soldiers and sailors who were once wards of the Children's Aid Society. All were rescued from the streets or from asylums and cor

rective msuiuuons. ; The society, since its foundation on January 9, 1856. has placed 52,031 or

phans and deserted children in

homes in the country where ma ' them were later adopted. In ad 81.472 older boys and girls have sent to farms In the West where bare been put on their feet any coming owners of ranches, have r their appreciation in later yeai , taking orphans into their homes.
