Frank finrbarlno, special agent of tho

this morning for Uoebllng. N. J., to take
charge of an Investigation there of a plot
to blow up the plant of John A. Itoebllng's

Quick action followed a confeienre with
two Department of Justice agents who have
been working on the case. In searching
homes of five detained suspeUs a forty-four

twenty shots, was found. It is the only
weapon of Its kind In America, detectives

cided on in Philadelphia.
Additional arrests were expected yester
day afternoon. Nothing happened. Oar
bai (no's presence In Uoebllnc this morning,
however, Is taken as a renewed indication
that the Federal net Is rapidly closing
around a band of suspects In that city,
Jlcllko was arrested last Sunday night.
Jle was charged with delivering r.n antl
Amerlcan speech at Goldman's Hall In Fed

custody about the same time as an accom

It is unofficially Intimated a,t the Depart

The three wigwam-looking "ears" are

to measure the narrow doors leading to the

tho enemies of Zeppelins, Taubes and
