Flvnn Declares Bomb Plotters Will Be CWlit Chief of Department of Jus tice Confident Perpetrators Of Wall Street Dieter WiUBeArS , Br The NV. .. New York VN ' Confidence that the . ers" V caused . ' anarchist fight y.eved now to have astrous bomb explo sion in .1 street last , Thursday would be hrought to justice was ex pressed today by William J. Flyigi, chief of the bureau of investigation of the Department of Justice. Chief Flynn, who has charge of the federal' investigation under the personal supervision of Attorney General Palmer, said he was certain trom the similarity of circulars found in a mail box near Wall street at the time of the explosion to those found at the scene of various bomb explosions in June, 1919, that the same crowd of terrorists was respon sible for both outrages. Have Much to Work On "We had solved the mysteries of last year's bomb, but were frustrat ed in bringing the criminals to jus tice when Alfredo Salesedo, whom we were detaining in the New York effice of the bureau, jumped from a 14th street window during the right and committed suicide," said Flynn. "That tipped our hand and the crowd got safely out of the country before we could nab them. "Now in this case we have much more towork on at the start. The similarity ot the circulars makes available all our knowledge of thfe gang who committed the outrages L last year. We even established the identity o( one anarchist who was killed by his own, bomb in last year's explosion with much less evidence than we. have in the present case. ' ."Torn bits of pink paper were the only evidence we had last year. Now we nave whole circulars dropped into a mail box, presumably by the man who set oit the bomb, half an hour after the letter carrier had emptied tfle box. In addition, there are the horse and -the broken bits of the wagon on which the bomb was placed." ' Huge Reward Posted. Convinced that the explosion was deliberately planned by radicals, of ficials of the Department of Justice, headed by Attorney General Palmer himself, today spread a dragnet over the country in efforts to trap its originators. Spurred on by rewards aggregat ing $20,500, offered by the New York City administration and an accident insurance company, police, ex-service men and citizens lent their efforts to the federal agents.) ": Not Same Group- Blamed.' " ' Chief. Flynn based his opinion on the -finding .of radical , literature in postoffice. boxes near the 'scene if the tragedy soon after it occurred. He pointed out a peculiar similarity between the nature of this literature and .that found in connection with the terrorist plots in June,' 1919. Similar expressions and " similarly in-.tEpclled words characterized the 1J10 irl - One difference between the two, however, was that the literature fctind last year was signed "The An archistic Fighters," while that found yesterday was signed "American Anarchist Fighters" i - "You can see,". Chief Flynn re marked, "they have simply added 'American' to their title now." - Primary importance in today's search was attached to finding the driver of the delapidated, rustedVfed wa?on, the fragments of which were found nearest the bomb crater. May Find Driver. Col. William Mead, chief clerk for J. P. Morgan & Co., declared the tarrier who shod the horse that drew the death wagon had been found and that he was reasonably sure of tn-; owner's identity. Peculiar mark ings on the dead horse's shoes, it was said, aided in tracing the black smith. ' r Department of Justice officials early today had neither confirmed nor denied this report, '.nit Attorney Qeneral Palmer said finding the ani mal's owner was of paramount im portance. .

"A general election," said Mr; Hughes, is the great assize, the only time when'administration is brought lo an accounting, we are not ; censorious-people, but levity in pass ing'judgment upon officers of gov ernment and political parties ill- becomes a democracy.

"It is idle to trust those who have been in power during the war pe riod, with its lavish outlays, its in difference to expenses, its reckoning in billions as we formerly reckoned in millions, with this duty of econ omy of retrenchment."

It would have been well to recognize the fact that the president had "not the exclusive treaty-makine powers.
