Outrage; Is Guarded
BUENOS AIRES, May 24.—fjP>—One
hundred known extremists were un
der arrest today as police sought
those responsible for a bomb outrage
in which seven persons were known
to have been killed and for the plant
ing of a second bomb the explosion
of which was prevented. The bomb
ing was attributed by the police to
anti-fascists who are part of the rad
ical element of Buenos Aires.
A strong police guard was placed
around the Italian consulate where
the bomb exploded and about the
Kalian embassy. The offices of
Italian newspapers were also under
guard.
* ount Martin-Franklin, Italian am
ba> satin r, said the bomb outrages
were directly traceable to anti-fascist
group*. He asserted they were the
same group* ss were responsible for
the recent bombing in Milan, Italy,
' htrh was intended to kill King
' ictor Emmanuel.
Ho was certain the bomb had be*>n
' placed to explode at noon during
ceremonies for'the dedication of the
consulate, which notable persons were
to attend. The explosion occurre.
ten minutes before the time set for
tn* dedication.
The building had only been oc
cupied for a month and the scaffold
ing was still in place in the pasport
bureau. It fell and with the col
lapsing walls buried many victims.
Vire started. One hundred firemen
worked for several hours fighting
the flames and dragging the injure!
victims from the debris and recover
ing mutilated bodies.
The curiosity of a six year old hoy
averted a second bomb explosion in
p pharmacy owned by one of the
leaders of the fascist organisation in
the dock section*several miles away
from the consulate.
Two customers had been in the
phxrmary and left a valise under a
chair. Shortly afterward.. I>a?*<
Mastronardi. the six year old son of
the proprietor, opened the valise. He
w-a* burned by the fu*e and his cries
attracted employes. They put it out
and prevented an explosion.

a ndrow escape, having left the room
a few seconds before two bombs ex
ploded. shattering the gla.-s panelling.
A third was extinguished by water
flowing from pipes burst by the ex-1
