A bomb, believed by police to have been placed by anti-Semitic Nationalists, today shattered a door and windows in the home of Isaac Rubenstein, Jewish deputy in the polish Parliament and chief rabbi of Wilno. No injuries were reported. Police are investigating the bombing, the latest in a long series of terroristic acts directed against Jews of this city.

Twenty Jewish students were injured when Nationalist students sought to enforce their segregation in “ghetto” benches. Ten of the injured students were given first aid treatment.
