FREQUENT BOMBINGS
BUT GANDHI FAILS IN HIS DISOBEDIENCE MOVE AGITATORS ARRESTED Reed. 10.5 a.m. DELHI, Sunday. After a week's campaign it is evident that Gandhi has not achieved his object, and his failure to rouse the whole country at launching his movement has created dismay in Congress ranks. Two bomb explosions occurred in Bombay, ona in a local railway train and the other in the waiting-room at the Byculla Railway Station. Two Indians were seriously injured. A young Mahommedan was arrested for his alleged complicity in the affair. Agitators in Calcutta are trying a new device to harass the Government and the Customs Department.
In addition to offering for public sale small packets of contraband salt extremists are reading at public meetings extracts from seditious literature already proscribed by the Gov ernment.
In a sharp clash between the police and students 13 combatants were injured and 30 arrests were made.
The Mayor of Calcutta, Sen Gupta, was again arrested on a charge of publicly reading proscribed literature. A mob in Bombay attacked a police van carrying prisoners sentenced for offences against the salt law. Ten persons were injured.
