DISCONTENT IN INDIA.
SEVERAL BOMB OUTRAGES. CONSTABLES INJURED. A RAID FRUSTRATED. / United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received May 20, 1.30 p.m.) DELHI, May 19. The plans of four hundred Nationalists to raid the salt works at Wadala, a suburb of Bombay, were frustrated by the police. Whilst the raiders were asleep in the public gardens a force of over six hundred police surrounded the gardens and arrested all the Nationalists, who were placed in lorries and taken to the detention camp at Worli, which Is fenced with electrified barbed wire. While the police were dispersing a banned meeting near the Madras High Court six bombs were flung at them. One exploded, injuring an English sergeant, a constable and the European superintendent of police. At Multan two constables were injured by a bomb which was thrown at them while they were removing the goods of a bazaar dealer who refused to pay a tax. Forty arrests were made.
The situation is now much improved, the leaders assisting the authorities and organising strong opposition against the Congress.
