NEW, YORK, March 29. During a great unemployed demonstration in Union Square, New York, on Saturday afternoon, an Anarchist hurled a bomb and killed one person besides mortally injuring himself. Mounted police then rode down the mob and created a panic. Twenty thousand people, mostly women, carrying anarchist banners and wearing red caps, had assembled, . despite the official refusal to permit them to enter .Union Square. When 18Q mounted-policemen sought to disperse the mob'Selig Silverstein, a young sian Jew, attempted to hurl the bomb at a group of twenty policemen. The fuse was too short, and the bomb exploded, tearing off Sijverstein's right arm and killing a man named Beconian, believed to be an accomplice.
