ATTEMPTED TRAIN WRECKING
ROCKS AND BOMBS ON THE LINE MY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT NICE, Sept. 26. Altogether three attempts were made to wreck Riviera trains. The polio? believe they were directed against the American iegionaries as a protest against the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti. Small -slips of paper in French and English are being posted on the walls of the kiosks saying: “To H—— with murderers!” Big yellow posters appearing on hoardings protest against the visit of the legionaries. Two additional attempts at trainwrecking have been revealed, one near Monaco, where large rocks wen? removed from the line before the arrival of the train, and the other at Labooa, near Cannes, where a. bomb was removed shortly” before the arrival of the legionaries’ train. The station master’s presence of mind •saved a catastrophe at Golfojtuna. Hurried precautions enabled the train to pull up safely though it actually passed over one of th? gaps in the, track.
