TeL Copyright) (Received Feb. 10, 1.15 p.m.) SYDNEY, Feb. 10 A police guard has been placed at St. Mary’s Cathedral, following a threat to bomb it. The threat was made to Archbishop Kelly in an anonymous letter, which stated the bombing was to be a reprisal for bomb outrages in England. The writer declared that his intended action was directed against the Irish people. Although the police are inclined to believe the letter was sent by an irresponsible person, they adopted very extensive precautions. All wireless patrols and police cars were ordered to keep the cathedral under surveillance. EXPLOBIONB IN COAL (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel.
