Concern Over Paris Bombing

Minister of Interior Speaks of His Suspicions Paris, Sept. 13.

The last series of bombings in Paris had the sinister intention of keeping France occupied with internal affairs in order to prevent her proper participation in international affairs, the Minister of Interior, M. Marx Dormay, intimated to-day.

"In my personal opinion the workers were not responsible for the bombing, he said. "The explosive "tolite', of which there is very little in France, was used in the bomb itself, while the detonator included hexogene which is non-existent in France," he said.

He refused to speculate where the hexogene was obtained, but said "we entertain—definite—' suspicions."—United Press.
