whom the police believe planted the
suitcase bomb th.t exploded on
crowded downtown corner and killed
nine and wounded more than 40 per
sons during the preparedness parade
Saturday, was identified here today by
Miss Estell E. Smith as a man whom
she saw carrying a suitcase and sitting
on a roof near the scene of the ex
plosion a few minutes before the bomb
burst.
Miss Smith was personally thanked
by Mayor Rolph for identifying Bil
lincs. She gave clews to a man and
a woman who were accompanying Bit
lings Saturday.
Seven men were in custody tonight
and the wife of one of them is also in
charge of detectives. Thomas Mooney
a labor agitator, for whom the police
have been looking since Saturday, and
his wife were arrested at Guerneville
tonight. They were taken off the train
on which they were returning to San
Francisco from Monte Rio. San Fran
cisco detectives will bring them to San
Francisco by automobile.
The District Attorney's office, work
ing along parallel lines with the police

and Antone Fedoni, an Italian, said to
be known among anarchists.
Suspects in Custody.
The suspects now in custody are:
Warren K. Billings. Israel Weinberg,
a jitney bus operator; Belle Lavin, as
sociate of the McNamara brothers and
Schmidt in the Los Angeles Times
dynamiting; Thomas J. Ryan, suspected
author of threatening letters which pre
ceded Saturday's outrage; Edward D.
Nolan, Antone Fedoni and Mooney and
his wife.
A new twist was given to the bomb
case today when the District Attorney's
office admitted, they believed the bomb
explosion was an attempt to get
marching body of United Railroads'
platform men who several weeks ago
balked Mooney in an abortive attempt
at a streetcar strike. The streetcar
men were in the preparedness parade,
only a short distance from the place
where the explosion took place. Incl
dentally it became known today that
United Railroads detectives have been
working closely with the police since
the explosion, and have been trailing
Mooney since the dynamiting of power
line towers south of the city about
two months ago. ,
Nolan Suspected Anarchist.
Nolan, in whose house raiding depu
ties found acids and explosives, was
said to be an associate of Mooney'a
and an ardent worker in the defense
of Ford and Suhr, serving life sentences
for the killing of District Attorney
Manwell in the Wheatland hop riots.
He is also said to have taken part in a
funeral memorial service held by anar
chists over the body of a bandit killed
several months ago in a battle with
the police here.
Fedoni. the latest suspect arrested,
was thought to be a minor character
In the plot.
Both the District Attorney's office
nd the police continued tonight the
strictest secrecy concerning the ev
dence they have against the suspects in
custody, but District Attorney Fickert
said; We need no confessions.
None of the suspects had confessed.

NEW YORK, July 27. Marked suc
cess has' attended the treatment of 60
infantile paralysis patients with Intro-
spinal injections of adrenalin, the rem
edy recently suggested by Dr. a. J.
Meltzer, according to a report to the
health department today by Dr. Ed
ward J. Bermingham. In 35 cases, the
report says, the symptoms completely
subsided, while the other IS infants are
said, to be recovering speedily.
"We - feel that Dr. Meltzer's theory
has been sustained." said Dr. Berming
ham. "We will not say proved, because
50 cases cannot prove-such an .impor
tant . matter." -
Special methods of . caring for the
patients have been adopted in connec
tion with the use of adrenalin injec
tions, which are made directly into
the spine every six: hours. One of the
methods is supplying the patients,
when trie convalescent period starts,
with new dolls and toys. A happy state
of mind is a great remedial measure.
Dr. Bermingham said.
Dr. Charles E Banks, senior surgeon
of the United States Public Health
Service, issued a statement advising
persons living outside this state, when
they bring their children ror visits, to
provide themselves with. ' identification
papers so their departure from the city
