P. Mor- jgan and C. F. Howe, immigration com- ; missioner at New York. The discoverd followed an investi- ‘gation ordered after news came of the Hardwick bomb explosion.’ The pack- ages bore labels of Gimbel Bros. store and were sealed, but did not hace suf- ficient postage. This caused the pos- tal officials to notify Gimbel Bros., ; who disclaimed ownership of the pack- ages and said the labels were. forged. Seventeen packages were pulled out of the mails, but officials fear that others may have borne sufficient post- jage and may have gone through the mails. } | Associate Justice Holmes of the United Staotes supreme court was an- Said the kaiser, |\ BLOWS ‘MAID’S HANDS OFF | FIUME CLAIMS \In Speech to Parliament Dis- } Singea That.
