By Margmerite Mooers Marshall Oopeetahe, 1818, by The ‘Prem Pubtishing ©o, (Thi Now York Mvening World). YORK military and police authorities are hurrying preparations to protect the city, against the new “Bombing Day”—pfesumably July 4—which has been set by Anarchists as a part of their pro sramme of revolution and terroriszation, according to a warning from the story of how i Tunney, head = by Small, Maynard & Co. of Boston. One of tte most absertiing chap- tors in “Throttled!” deals with the fight against the Anarchists in the fal and winter of 1914-15, when a bomb was exploded at the door of ibe Bronx County Courthouse, and twe attempts were made to biow up St Patrick's Cathedral. That the seo- ond of these was completely frustrat- od amd the plotters placed under ar- rest was due te the cleverness of In- spector Tunney and one of his as- sistants, a young Italian detective named Polignani. The latter, follow- ing the Inspector's orders, played the role of Anarchist eo successfully that he won the confidence of the Brescia Cirele, named in bonor of tHe man who murdered King Humbert tho Good of Italy. Thus when two of the members of the circle, Carbone and Abarno, made bombe and placed one in St. -Patrick’s Cathedyal, in Mareh, 1914, they were arrested at once by detectives Osguised as ‘women and ushers and the fuss of the = _b was pinched out before ft coula ,lamage. Te was these two, Anarchists who lent to Polignani the text-book on bomb-making. He had to return it, of course, or arouse suspicion of him- self, but he managed to carry it to Police Headquarters where every page was photographed. “It was a pamphiet of some sixty pages,” Inspector Tunney tells us in “Throttled!", “measaring about four by eight Inches, and cleanty printed in Itatian. It was nothing less than & text-book om how to go about mak- | ing bombse—a sort of guide to Anar- » ohiet etiquette, It would be unwise to reproduce its instructions in detail, as they were too accurate for the gen- | S eral peace, but the index will give a! conception of the thoroughness with | which the anonymous writers in far- off Italy covered their subject.” | And these are some of the chapter headings im the index: “First Princi- ples, Instruments, Manipulation, Ex- plostve Material, Powder, Nitrogiyce- rine, Dynamite, Fulminate of Mercu- vy, Gun Cotton, Preparation of Fuses, Capsule and Petard, Application of Explosive Materials, Bombs, Incendi- ary Materials. “Yes, it wae acocurate—and very ; ss Cosmbeid Was Explored HE first explorer to attain the northern coast of Greenland was Commander, now Admiral, Robert E.

Tt was about thirty-three years ago that Peary began his explorations in that vast island, a large part of which has been terra incognita ince its dis- covery by the Icelander, Gunnbjorn, in the ninth century, In 1886 Peary made a reconnaisance of the Green- Jand inland ice-cap cast of Disco Bay. In 1891 he led another expedition to the northeast angle of Greenland, and jimeovered and named Melville Land and Heilprin Land; lying beyond Greenland, He determined the tnsu- larity of Greenland, for whieh he re+ ceived medais from American, Brits ish and Scottish geographical socie- ties. In 1898 he headed another expe- dition and in 1900 rounded the north- ern extremity of Greenland Archipel- ago, the last of the great Arctic land group’, and named the northern cape after Morris K.

A most interesting description of tts contents and quarters is given in “Throttled!” by Inspector Thomas myumd, whose vivid and complete account of the de- partment’s successful struggles with German and An archist plotters during the war has just been published it was pat on file at Police Head- | of the Police Department's bomb Practical,” is the grim comment of Thspector Tunney. “To quote from ite advice to strugsting Anarchists: “We recommend most earnestly that if you wish to engage in this line of work you procure, before all else, a sufficient amount of money, otherwise | you risk being put out in the mid- dle of the street, only to find your long work and trouble all-in vain. We recommend at the same time that you do not omit any precaution necessary to avoid attracting the at- | tention of the police, and avoid mix- , ing with the pubic, nor be seen’ with | known companions, And do not work at it in the house except when neces- wary. “ ‘The work should be done in a well- ventilated room provided with a good chimney place and furnished in such & way that you can hide things if any ohe enters; and this room ought to be on the top floor of the house om account of the odors that are al- ways being produced. “‘Albove adi, we recommend that you never make explosives for the more pleasure of making them. All you do beyond enough is useless and atapids+ | especially 90 when you. have neither the practice mor the proper means for making them. As to the place to} keep dynamite, why make it until it is needed? Take heed that among the various kinds of explosives, bombs, &e., always choose the one that will be most easily used and most practi- |cal, remembering always that it is | better to do a little thing welt than to | leave a big thing half done,’” ‘The book had a list of tools used in bomb-making, their cost, also « lst of the essential chemicals with the warning not to bay all them tn the same place. There was a de soription of the process of making! nitroglycerine, with the hint that “it would be a great work if somo Amer- | joan mamufacturer would devise some | means of congealing it so that it would be less sensitive to shook, so that it might safely be carried on the railways.” The book tells how to make all the different Kinds of fuses and how to regulate the length of time they will burn, Among others mentioned is the instantaneous fuse which, “because it will burn with all the speed of elec- tricity . . . may be made to serve many important purposes: to fire a mine under a passing traip, unéer gatherings or troops of cavalry. " bomber wished to blow up a wall,” the Inspector recalls, “he was told how to compute by simple mathematics the quantity of explo- sive required. A bridge ‘will require twice the charge needed for a wi and the vulnerable points of the bridge were indicated. Telephone and telerraph poles and wires, street gratings, street railways, locomotives, steam boilers, all came in for their share of attention, “phere are probably other copies from the same preas in t nds of accredited ‘bomb-throwers,” con cludes the account. Perhaps, just here, it is apposite to quote another recollection of Inspec- tor Tunney’s. Before Leon. Trotaky sailed for Russia a farewell meeting in his honor was held March 26, 1917, in the Harlem River Casino under the auspices of the German Socialist Federation, This was the Bolshevik leader's parting advice to his New York friends: “You who stay here must work hand in hand with the revolution in Russta, for only in that way can you accomplish revolution in the United States,” They heard—and apparently with them “to hear is to obey!” ccs AN AUTHORESS AT NINE.
