Although it was virtually impossible to learn the source of the warning, it was intimnted bv some officials of the police department that they had rc teived reliable information which caused them to take these extra precautions. Numerous blucconts attired in plain clothes, nnd detectives from the central station were detailed to all sections of the city. As hnd been anticipated, many per sons were seen upon the highwavy enrrving packages of virtually eveiy de scriptlon, and nil found loitering with bundles in their possession were sub jected to close scrutiny. The policemen were instructed spc cificnlly to watch every one who did possess n package, this being actuated bv the belief of officials thnt the con tents might be of an explosive nature.
