The theory that the shooting outrage in Farrens, exclusive nock turnel resort in the Western area, at midnight on Saturday, was perpetrated by hirelings of rival gamble ing interests was fortified by police investigations made during the past 24 hours. It was disclosed that actually two canister bombs were left in the premises by the armed intruders whose shots, fired at random, resulted in Miss Daisy Simons, a British guest, and Walter Lunzer, a Jewish refugee and watchman at the establishment, being mortally wounded.
No arrests have yet been made by the police of the Settlement and the Municipality of Greater Shanghai, who were conducting a city-wide search all day yesterday for the gunmen who threw the fashionable night club, including the ballroom downstairs and the roulette rooms upstairs, into an uproar.
Although the gunmen had all the employees of the resort and the usual Saturday night crowd completely cowed after brandishing their guns and firing several shots in the air, they had made no attempt to stage a robbery, which strengthened the belief that this was not the motive of their intrusion into the Salvation Army Appeal Announcement was made yesterday by Salvation Army staff officers that the 1941 Appeal Fund had passed the $116,000 mark and was rapidly nearing $117,000 in the Army's campaign for $175,000.
