NEW YORK, April 8. (P) Po
lice today sought the sendor of a
bomb addressed to Governor Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. ' "
by a porter In .the parcel post room
It was accidentally uiscovereu
of the general postoffice at 33rd
street and liignin avenue yesier-
jday.
The infernal machine consisted
of six ounces of dynamite In a six-
inch length of one-inch pipe capped
fuse, and detoidtinR. device. Ihe
Iwholo thing was embedded in wax
in a tin candy box wrapped In
brown paper.
The detonator was a strip of

On the wrapper was the . hand
printed address: "The Hon. F. D.
Roosevelt, Mansion House, Albany.
..."."n Tr,r,f
Police found the name and address
fictitious. . . !
Thos. Caltegy, the porter, found
the bomb when he accidentally hit
it with hiB broom while sweeping
the parcel post room. At the con
tact there was a hiss and smoke
curled from the package. Calegy
promptly trampled upon it.
The porter's action ln stepping
on the bomb, police said, probably
saved his life and those of the
clerks at work in the room, as he
broke off the fuse and extinguish
ed the matches. '
Governor Roosevelt, at his home
at Hyde Park, expressed no alarm
; when' told of the finding ot the
bomb. His only comment was that
he "was glad no one was Injured
in discovering the bomb." Over the
telephone he informed Police Com
missioner Whalen that ho knew of
no motive for the sending of a -bomb
to him.
Detectives of the division of com
bustibles of the fire prevention bu
reau who examined the infernal
machine with postoffice Inspectors
said it would probably havo killed
several persons had It exploded
either In the postoffice or when
opened in the governor's office.
