Police today arrested four Nationalist students of Warsaw University for an attack on a Jewish Socialist May Day parade in which a boy was killed and five persons seriously injured.

One of these arrested was accused of the murder of Abraham Schenker, 5, son of a tradesman. The students were identified by four of the injured persons.

A small factory for the manufacture of bombs was discovered in the home of one of those arrested. All carried firearms.

The funeral of the murdered boy, announced by his parents and the executive of the Bund Jewish labor organization, for noon, was postponed by the authorities, who ordered a secret burial at dawn tomorrow with only relatives permitted to attend.

Warsaw University re-opened today following suspension of classes caused by recent disorders, but Nationalists stationed at the entrance would not allow Jews to enter.
