PALESTINE
GOOD FRIDAY CELEBRATIONS [by CABLE PRESS ASSN. COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, April 15. The Jerusalem correspondent of “The Times” states that the great festal season was subdued because of the state of the country and the exclusion of the public from the Holy’ Sepulchre. The exclusion of the pub- > lie, except for a small party from Calvary, marred Good Friday for the Christians, but the clergy held ceremonies and the Jews visited the Wailing Wall and partook of the Passover under the shadow of Jewry’s • trials. . ■ . Gangs murdered four, Arabs at var- . ions places and 14 cases of sniping were reported. The oil pipe line was again punc- . tured and ignited. \ ROUNDING UP GANGSTERS
