CAPITOL GUARDED; PLANS MADE TO USE { tognizant of potential eventualities in i view of the bomb outrages in other cities. Maj. Hesse explained, hew- ever, that Washington, unlike some | of the other large cities, is free of ai radical element with anarchist ten- dencies and that if any demonstration is attempted here it probably will be | undertaken by outsiders. | After the conference it was reported that Inspector Pratt had ordered 10 | detactives to report to him for a spe- cial detail this afternoon. It was pre- | gumed that the “special mission” had | gomething to do with the campaign for vigilance. It was made plain that | eny known radicals who are found without apparent reason in the vi-| cinity of public buildings or certain | homes would be locked up for in- Vestigation. The guard of the police and detec- | tives, according to officials, will dove- tail perfectly with that which has been established by the Federal authorities, the Capitol police and the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks. Lieut. Col. U. §. Grant, declared he was taking “every pre- caution that we can think of” in com- menting_ upon his plans to prevent any outbreak of radicalism in this city. Like Superintendent of Police Hesse and Inspector Pratt he main- tained that the details of his guard plans, to he effective, must remain secret, Col. Gr every avai said he was satisfied that ble officer under his juri diction is alert and thoroughly familiar with detailed instructions which have been issued Palmer Home Bombing Recalled. Washington has been fortunate in the outbreak of radicals, it was point ed out today.
