WHERE GLASSES ARE MADE RIGHT BOMB THROWERS HURL SHRAPNEL [Continued from Fifst Page.] fifteen minutes afterward Judge Von Moschzlsker's house, nearly , four miles from the Mills' residence, ! was visited by the bomb throwers. - The authorities believe the Trigg bomb was intended for the home of Municipal Court Judge Gorman, who resides next door. Revenge Thought Motive Revenge against the judicial and police authorities for enforcing the , law against sedition nnd the display ' of ihe red llag of anarchy In this city i the police officials say furnished the ! motive. The entire police force of the city | is working on the case, but the of- • ilclals nbso utely refuse to toll what : clues they have, If any. All federal ■ agencies nre co-opcrutlng with the police. One theory is that one party ! jof men, using an automobile, had I committed all three outruges. At the scenes of the explosions the : police picked up circulars printed I on yellow paper which contained the 1 deli of the bomb throwers. The heading read: "To the Exploiters, the Judges, Policemen, the Priests, the Sol diers." This was followed by 200 words of j a harangue on the rights of the I people. From fragments of iron and steel I gathered up after the explosions Superintendent Mills hopes to be able to ascertain the typo of bomb used by the miscreants. Twelve pieces of steel, believed to be from the Inside of the bomb were found near his home. Sevoral are threaded on one side nnd are believed to be small pieces of pipe. Other pieces are in the shape of a double triangle, j Two pieces of pipe are believed to have been part of the fuse. A largo fragment of Iron found 'at the home of Justice Von Mosch | zisker Is believed to bo part of the i outer shell of the bomb. Superintendent Mills believes a | shrapnel bomb of the same type was ' used In all the explosions. He said : to-day the explosive used was either ! nitroglycerine or T. N. T. Work of Hysterical Persons Justice Von Moschziskcr to-day expressed the belief that his home was attacked simply because he is the highest court officer In Phila delphia. "This bombing outrage, to my mind," said the justice, "is simply | the work of misguided, hysterical | persons affected by conditions of the j times. I do not believe there was any personal animosity in the attack on Jmy house. So far as I can recall, i there has been no case before me In which a decision would have affect | ed any of the class of persons who i apparently directed these efforts at | (rightfulness." Justice's House Wrecked Since the outbreak of the war i Justice Von Moschzisker has-been active In securing relief for the dis tressed people In Poland. Early to ! day Mayor Smith and Superlntend i'ent Mills visited the home of the justice. They found .the entire front | wrecked nnd the drawing room with j all its furniture in ruins. Windows iin every house in the block were \ shnttered. Justice Von Moschzisker said to ! day: "The force of the bomb is shown !by the fact that a piece of shell ! penetrated four partitions of niy j house, cut through the steel springs and heavy mattress of the bed In | which my wife was sleeping and slightly Injured her. She, with our ! three children and two maids were ! asleep when the explosion occurred." Thinks Plotters Ilcld Meeting A large bundle of the circulars I strewn about the scenes of the ex | plosions was found early to-day. j Superintendent Mills believes a | meeting of the plot leaders was held some where In the center of the city last night nnd that about 10 o'clock the conspirators scattered to place the bombs. He thinks the bun dle was thrown away after the blasts. Superintendent Mills said: "There is no doubt the outrages were due to a combination of Bolshevik! and the 1. W. W. because of the activity shown by the police nnd the courts in enforcing the laws against sedi tion during the war. He disclosed that his life had been threatened half a dozen times recently by un identified persons who called him on the telephone or sent anonymous i letters after he had prevented the i holding of meetings considered sedi i tous assemblages. "I look for more trouble," said he, "but 1 am going to tighten the lines even more and get rid of this menace to the community. Nothing is to be gained by niakiflg Indis criminate arrests, hut I will say that several men already are under sur veillance for complicity In this | Plot.", j Homes of leading city and state officials and prominent citizens are ' being guarded against another visit | from the bomb throwers. Fifteen minutrs before the ex plosion which damaged the home of ! Ernest' T. Trigg, a man was seen to : leave the premises and drive away ' In a motorcar. Mrs. William G. Knowles, wife of ; Judge Knowles, of the Municipal ; Court, was p. victim of the explosion .which wrecked the home of.Justice ) Moschzisker. Mrs. Knowles was in , the second story front room of her ' home, opposite that of the justice. | She detected an odor akin to that of ' burning rubber. She looked out of | the window and at this Juncture there was a roar nnd a flash of flame. A club hit her as she leaned from J the .window and inflicted tt slight j wound above the eye. j Ten printed circulars similar to ! those found nenr the scenes of Inst j night's explosions were discovered to-day in the F-dernl building which ! occupies a' city block and houses ! the post office.

FOUNDED ISTI I . . * t for ct very Happy New. r JL JL w/ Year to <1 The year just past has recorded the great est volume of business this store has ever done. Yet it was a year filled with serious considerations its many problems, na tional and individual, affected the daily plans of every man and woman everywhere. tf Superficially one might credit good fortune for the business done by this store, but we believe that underneath lav something far more prominent than the shifting sands of chance. CjJ Judgment, which constantly mirrored the demands of our customers in the undeviat ing quality of our merchandise, and a serv ice in which the spirit of cheerfulness and helpfulness was constant, we are disposed to feel, were back of this business record. Although our policy of closing this store on Saturday evenings was adopted at a crucial period, fraught with many uncertainties as to the outcome, we immediately received scores and scores of outspoken assurances of sympathy with the movement, as well as other evidence that thousands had cheerfully made sacrifices in order to co-operate by daytime purchases. CjJ We can therefore start the new year with the assurance that the principle of shorter working hours for our employes has been approved by our many patrons. This is in accord with the enjoyed by em ployes in practically all other lines of indus try and concede* !-- - • i "bants in our most progressive cities. The rapid strides of the shorter workday movement throughout the country indicates that it will soon be universal in every city that has grown beyond the boundaries of a country hamlet. No merchant can afford to stand still. It is simply a question of adhering to backward methods or adopting a more en lightened policy. We have chosen the latter and are sincerely thankful to those who have given us their support. r DECEMBER 3!, 1918.
