Frank A. Vanderlip, for many years President of the National City Bank, resigned to-day and his resig- nation was accepted by the directors. James A. Stillman, Chairman of the board, was immediately elected to the vacancy, Pending a statement regarding the change in the administration, which was promised this evening, none of the directors would discuss the mat- ter, Mr, Vanderltp left his office im- mediately after the meeting and his secretary said he was not in touch with the bank. Friends of Mr. Vanderlip sald his resignation had been contemplated since he went to Europe a month ago to study business and labor condi- tions, He made a etartingly pesel- mistic estimate of Europe's powers of recuperation at a meeting of the Economic Club last week. Mr. Vanderlip, who is fifty-five, succeeded the late James Stillman, father of the new President, in 1909. Mr, Stillman had brought bim from Washington eight years before to be Vice President of the Miggest bank In the United States.

WASHINGTON, June 3.—Department of Justice agents and police throughout the country to-day were hunting the organized band of An- archists who last night launched what they called an attempt to overthrow the Government by assassinating with high explosive bombs Government officials and prominent men opposed to the spread of organized lawlessness. Police inspectors believe they have identified the man who was blown to pieces in an effort to kill Attorney General A, Mitchell Palmer with a bomb as an Anarchist of Philadelphia, They also said they were confident the Nation-wide plot against the lives of Government officials and prominent ‘business men had been laid in that city. A blood-stained conductor's identi- fication check, found in front of Mr. Palmer's residence early to-day, showed that the Anarchist arrived in Washington at 10.30 o'clock last night from Philadelphia, He went directly from the Union Station to the Pal- mer home and only a few minutes before the explosion he was seen alighting from a street car a few blocks away, by C, S. Briggs. of Marion, 8. C. The police would not reveal the identity of the man, but they felt confident the facts they had gathered in their investigation since last mid- night would lead quickly to the ap- prehension of his associates, who clothing and articles belonging to the man was a much-thumbed Italian- American dictionary, indicating its owner knew little English, By a strange freak of the explosion the man's hat remained intact, On the sw band was inscribed the name of “De Lucaw Bros, Hatters, 919 South Eighth Street,. Philadel- phia.” The police’ are confident that the Plans of the anarchist to blow up the house of the Attorney General and kill its occupants would not have miscarried had he not in his excite- ment and in the darkness stubbed his toe on a low coping six feet from the front door, whe it was obvious, he Intended to pl the powerful infernal mach q the and when he fell, concussion apparently set oft the May day benb plot in which many Infernal machines addressed to Government officials, Members of Congress and business men were placed in the mails.

W. W. organization here, who was captured after a fight with detectives in a downtown office building, agents of the Depart- ment of Justice, with co-operation of the city’s combined police and de- tective forces, had spread a dragnet this afternoon with which they de- clared they expected before nightfall to apprehend the terrorists respon- sible for two bomb explosions ast night. Wholesale arrests of Russians, 1. W. W. and Bolshevik sympathizers began early to-day shortly after the explosions which wrecked the hames of Judge W. H. S, Thompson of tie United States District Court and W. W. Sibray, Chief Inspector of the Bureau of tLoumigration, and dam- aged three nearby houses, What the police declare is one of the most important arrests was made near the scene of the Sibray explosion when an Austrian, who gave his name as Louis Bachui, thirty, was taken into custody. The man, ac- cording to the police, was carrying a small black bag, which was empty. The police say he was unable to account for having the bag, which they be- lieve had been ysed to carry one of the bombs. Bachui was turned over to the Federal authorities this afternoon. Papers and I, W. W. literature, @—————_____—— found in the Radicals’ headquarters where Johnson was captured after he had fired on detectives, were ex- pected by police and detectives to con- tain evidence which will be valuable in running down the persons respon- sible for the terrorist plot in this city. The location of the I, W. W. head- quarters was learned through the ar- rest of a suspect, upon whom was found a bunch of keys. Detectives traced one of the keys to the building where Johnson was found, EVERY SUSPICIOUS FOREIGNER ARRESTED ON SIGHT. All railroad stations and electric lines were belng watched by detec- tives to-day and all suspicious for- elgners who could not give good ac- counts for themselves were arrested. Police said this afternoon that unless the bomb throwers left the city with- in a fow minutes after the explosions last night the dragnet had been so stretched that escape now would be impossible. Anarchist circulars were found to- day near the scene of last night's explosions. They were similar to those discovered in other cities where four children, asleep on the second floor, were uninjured, Cassady was out of the city at the time. The home of F. B, Lincoln, Vice President and General Manager of the Pittsburgh Terminal R. R. and Coal Company, adjoining the Cas- sady residence, was damaged to the extent of $2,000. The home of W, P. Witherow, Vice President and Ge eral Manager of the Witherow Steel Company, was also damaged, The home of Herbert Josephs, Panhandle Railroad train despatcher, was badly wrecked. The residence of Jacob Gross, next door, was dumaged to the extent of $1,000, Mrs, Josephs house. They were thrown from their aslep in the rear of the Josephs and her three small children were beds. a ot eee Res U, S, MINISTER REPORTS ON KILLING OF JEWS: Gibson, Stationed in Poland, Says He Has Only Heard af Pinsk and Vilna Affa’.s.

JUDGE LAYS HOME WRECKING TO ATTACK ON LAW UPHOLDERS Pteconcerted Efforts of I. W. W.’S, Reds and Radicals to Defeat Or- der, He Says—Powerful Blast in Nott Home Kills Watchman. The hone of Judge Charles C. Nott of the Court of General Ses- sions, who sentenced two anarchists to Sing Sing Prison in April, 1915, was so thoroughly torn up by the explosion of a bomb at 12.52 o'clock this morning that it is certain the bomb used was one of the largest and most powerful ever set off in this city, Judge Nott’s home is at No, 151, Hast Gist Street. - William Boehner, No. 871 Brook Avenue, a night watchman, was blown to pieces by the explosion and, peculiarly enough, his sealp was detached from his head and found across the'stréet, as was the case with the anarchis; who set off the bomb at the home of Attorney General Palmer in Washington; with fatal consequences to himself. Mrs. Nott; the Judge’s wife, who happened to be at home, although the family has gone to the country for the summer, and John Bjorkeren, the caretaker, his wife and their seven-year-old daughter were shaken up but escaped physical injury. Judge Nott and his children—Frances, eighteen} Benedict, thirteen, and Lawrence, twelve—were at the Nott summer place, Black Point, near New London, Conn. Mrs. Nott came to New York Sunday to en- gage a servant for the summer home, Judge Nott reached New York this afternoon from his country home in Connecticut, and after visiting his wife at the home of Mrs, Lucien Tyng, No. 138 East 65th Street, and finding her completely recovered from the shock produced by the explosion, walked around to his wrecked dwelling. Before entering he made the following statement: NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK. “I do not consider this a personal attack on me but a precongerted effort on the part of the Bolshevists, 1. W. W. and associated radical or ganizations to terrorize the judiciary and the upholders of law and order in this country. I have received no threatening letters since I left the District Attorney's office ten years ayo, “Of course this may be the work ef friends of the two anarchists who attempted to place a bomb in St. Patrick's Cathedral and were sentenced to prison by me. These men have not yet served the term of their-mini- mum sentence but under the new commutation law they may have been released. “Iam particularly upset by the death of the old watchman. 1 knew him well. Everything possible will be done to aid his family.” The Judge was.a little shaky and showed emotion when he emerged from his home after an inspection of the interior. “My sentiments in regard to the men who planned and did this thing,” OO he sald, “are unfit for publication, Death would be too good for them, “I find that the damage extends all the way to the room in which my wife was sleeping and her escape ap- pears to be almost miraculous, It was through @ providential accident that my housekeeper and her little daugh- ter escaped certain death, For six years they have slept in the front room in the basement during the summer months, Two nights ago they moved up to the fourth floor, Tho basement room was completely wrecked.” The Police Department records show that the two men sentenced by Judge Nott—Abarno and Carbone— are still in Sing Sing Prison serving out their terms.
