A large group of armed Jews, including several women, raided early this morning a dynamite dump of the building cooperative Sollel-Boneh, near Tel-Aviv, and swiftly disarming the guards stole several cases of dynamite and disappeared. The raiders also disarmed all the policemen in the police station adjoining the dump.

Joseph Bernblum, a prominent Jewish lawyer, was assassinated last night in Haifa by unknown persons who called him out of his home and then fired three shots at him. The assassins escaped in the darkness of the night.
