BOMB IS DISCOVERED IN BRITISH MUSEUM.
TIMELY WARNING STOPS PROBABLE DESTRUCTION. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, February 2. Following a telephone message from a stranger giving the name of Ali-Khan, who declared that he had overheard Indian students plotting to blow up the Indian Room at the British Museum, the authorities made an extensive search and discovered a circular package wrapped in newspaper, to which a fuse was attached. It was under a staircase near the Indian Gallery. Scotland Yard are examining the bomb which is obviously home-made, with a view to determining whether it is destructive, or a dummy. If an explosion had occurred it would have caused irreparable damage to the 1 superb collection of religious carvings.
