Blame Fascisti Members B.v Vttiver'.nl Service. Mexico city. May IS—Although the Mexico City police announced tonight that the bomb exploded in the Ameri can consulate building today was , aimed at Carlos Castello. a lawyer, it became known tonight that Charles B. Warren, one of the American i "recognition” commissioners, has re ceived an anonymous letter telling fim he would be the victim of a bomb lot. There is evidence that the consulate, was mined by some one of the small | fascisti groups anxious to embarrass negotiations between the United States and Mexico. A cap found ill the building, evi dently worn by the person who placed the bomb, had on it a large bla<-k and red button, the insignia of a Mexican radical group. On an inner hand was the name "W. S. Elliott, Kansas City.” Campaign by Ilia? Followers. Such obstacles as today's Incidents are looked upon as part of the cam paign of the remnants of the Old l>iaz teglnie who wish to regain their hold tn the peons emancipated by the rev olution and bring hack what they call the "good old days" of oppres s.on. These agitators have paid props gandists throughout Mexico who nrr circulating all sorts of rumors de signed to stir up strife. They arc making no impression, it is learned. The letter to Lawyer Castello. giv en out by the police, read: "This is the start of your sentence. 1 have not manifested a wish to ter- l nitnate you with one blow, but that this will be. as you have worked with our canaille and we will leave you In poverty and misery. As you have not been left by your protectors be fore now. yot r victims paid. Onlv in this was justice done to a bandit.” Envoy* Optimisin'. The American commissioners and the Mexican delegates met at the for eign office this morning and all seemed in an optimistic mood as to the outcome of the recognition negu t.at ions. The Mexican else was presented to ds; . snd a brief outline was given of the Mexicans' claim to the right to do as they have done in numbers of instances where property has been confiscated. ^Saturday the commissioners will again confer w-ith Minister of For eign Affairs F’iini. and next Tuesday they wUI again be received by Presi dent Ubrogon.
