Sept. 17.-A great bal loon of black smoke, the roar of an explosion, a flash of flame that eared everything within Nr yard 4eft Broad and Wall streets, heart Of th world's financial district, a shambles at noon Thursday. 1 Ter'g full minute, it seemed, after the terrible blast, there was absolute silence la the. two busy streets. - Not a living Mil was to be seen. Dead and wounded lay In their blood on the steps of the Ualted States subtreasury on the richest corner In the world. Young. Thomas Joyce, chief clerk of 3. P. Kforgan as Co., lay over his desk amid a litter of plitter, twisted window gratlnge and burning papers dead. TAMP OW VfOMKS Then people rushed to the streets. By thousands they tumbled down .the stairs Of giant office buildings and spilled .onto the sidewalks, stumbling over th bod ies which lay there. Screams pierced the crash of glass as thousands of plate glass windows fell in fragments to the ground. from Broadway, from Pino street, Ksssau street Exchange place and Wil- llem street a rushing tide of humanity swept toward the Morgan corner. In William street somebody shouted : "flo back : for God's sake, so back. There's another esploslon coming." , ; Instantly the ' owd's curiosity turned to terror and the Ude ebbed with a frantic runh to get out of range. Five women went down under the feet of the mob and men stamped upon them. STOr BL'MH OF MOB Dr. Colegate Moore, with an office In Pine street, stood up against the front rank and smashed a wild-eyed imp square In the jaw. The man staggered, recovered and smashed another one. The panic was stopped. Together these two men stood In the center of William street, beating men balk until the wild, dangerous flight slowed to an orderly retreat Wall street for a block, from Broad to William, was spattered with blood, Fragments of human bodies lay about. A woman's blue straw hat, with a bine bow, twisted out of shape, lay at the feet of Georse Washington's statue. 8omeone.-ame up with a bucket and sanded the smear of blood. Ar you walked down the street you smelled a1 peculiar odor that soldiers came to know In .France. It made your stomach con vulse. CLOTHES STILL AFLAME There were for dead In front of Morgan's office on the -Wall street side. The police had just covered them with burlap, but by the shoe sticking out you could Lee they were men. A burnt hand protruded from under one burlap sack. Across the street, in front of tha shattered facade of the United States uu. Afftre. iilic more dead lav under? burlap sacking. I thought I saw. two; pairs of women's shoes . among this group. In the street Just there an o;d, mangy horse, smashed into a horrible, repulsive mess, lay amid a scorched. Ut ter of harness and, shafts -.ntl , wfeeol hubs. A Hupmobiie touring car, over turned on its sldet.was smouldering In front of Morgan's offices. The crowd recovered from Its panic In a few seconds. Those who rushed out of the big buildings fronting Broad and Wall dropped to their knees and stripped the burning clothing from the wounded. One man fell with a leg carried away by a chunk of scrap iron. WISDOW WEIGHT M YSTERY Morris Whitman, an automobile brok er, returning from lunch with a young Woman, a fellow employe, was knocked down, the girl with him. They staggered to their feet, pelted by Jagged pieces of glass falling from Immense heights. Whitman lifted the man who had lost a leg and put him In a taxi that had not been damaged. "Something hit me," the m An said. Then he died. Whitman picked up the bloody Iron bar. It resembled a window a eight. Later the police found other big slues of metal similar to this one.

There was nothing he could do for the victim. Death' was only a matter of seconds, still the man told him of hav ing seen a red wagon coming up Wall street from the direction of the East river. It drove- In close to. the curb In front of tha assay office and one wheel bumped the curb. Then' came the flash. That la the story of only Sne vtetim, however. There are other sto . riea.

They were always ready to tackle bomb throwers or cranks of any kind. Here was a situation that no man could handle. I oouldn't find out what had happened to these strong-arm men whether they were dead or alive. Wound ed or well. Rlcharg Campbell, doorkeeper of the Stock Exchange, across from Morgan's. In Broad street, saw the wagon before It blew up, saw It blow up and saw all the horrible aftermath. He was not certain whether the wagon was moving or standing still. Anyway, he saw the puff of black smoke and the dead blown against the-walls. One thing saved the lives of many on the floor of the exchange. That waa the providential lowering oS the Im mense yellow silk shades over the two story high windows to keep out the sun. These windows all went out and many chunks went through the curtains. But th curtains turned" back most of the glass and stopped the force of that which went through. E IS PART OF RED PLOT (ConUnaed from Ptse On) and (he residenoe of J. P. Morgan in this city under heavy guard, a nation wide search Is being made to run down the plotters. The clock works are be ing studied by experts to determine their manufacture and source. TWO 8CSPECT8 DISAPPEAR ' The men who drove tha one-horse truck, carrying the most powerful In fernal machine ever devised irt this country, disappeared In the Wall street crowds as completely as If the earth bad opened and swallowed them up. The police have learned that warn ings of a catastrophe in the financial district were received In advance by at least two persons. One of these warnings came to Lieu tenant Araaud, chief of the French high commission, on Wednesday. ' The other was received by George F. Ketchledge, an enyiloye of the brokerage firm of j B. K. Schwarts A Co.. at No. 2 Broad way, at noon Wednesday. dam AGSjjjs n,ie,eoe ' While soldiers with fixed bayonets paced up and down in front of the United States sub-treasury building throughout the night feverish search was made of the debris In and around the Morgan offices for additional dead and bomb evidence. The original esti mate of 24 dead was increased to 38 by deaths of injured, and it was re ported today that this total may be increased, as some of the wounded are In serious condition. The property dam age from the blast is put at $2,500,000. On the assumption that the Wall street explosion was the beginning of a wave r of. Red terrorism, public officials have been Warned to employ bodyguards. . Picked men, ftom the police depart ment re guarding the homes of public officials. Wall and Broad streets, the "financial capital .of the world," is like an armed camp with soldiers, policemen and special armed guards on duty. The stock exchange building and the great banks in the Wall street district are picketed. A new police dead line has been established, MISSIS O TRUCKS NOUGHT A general police alarm has been sent out for missing or stolen one horse trucks, such as that In which the tme bomb was carried to the Morgan bank. The broken parts of the wagon, which was . demolished by the detona tion, have been pieced together aa well as possible, and .the police are now try ing tf find the owner of it.

So far as I know, be never suffered any financial reverses in Wall street. I do not believe that Fischer has any Intimate knowledge about this dreadful disaster. He was not a member of any radical organisation. It is pfobabte that ha was suffering from one of bla periodical mental aberrations when he seat tha warning ; and the fact that the explosion occurred about, that time waa a coincidence." bomb or ,iee rouNDS Eighteen of the dead in the explo sion were taken to the morgue. They Included four women and a boy. Med ical official who examined the bodies reported to. District Attorney Edward Swann there waa no doubt that death waa caused! by a bomb of tremendous power. It Is believed . that the infernal machine weighed more than 100 pounds. A ' piece of metal and an iron slug weighing a pound, believed to have been part of the bomb which wrecked the Morgan bank, were found on the roof of the United Btates sub-treasury building today. They were found by Deputy Assistant Treasurer Grant, who turned them over to the police. "In several of the bodies were, found pieces of iron and these have been turned over to the police," said Chief Medical Examiner Charles Norrls. "They appear to have been made from window sash weights that were sawed into small pieces. There is no doubt that a bomb caused the explosion. The nature of the wounds shows that" William J. 3 urns, whose detective sgency is employed to guard the Mor gan building, said he believed that the bomb mechanism was similar to that used In the McNamara dynamiting cases when cheap alarm clocks were used to sit off the explosion. It was the Burns agency that ran down the McNamara dynamiters. "The time clock was probably set for 12 o'clock in this Instance," said Bums. "It is possible that the plotters hoped to stop their wagon directly in front of the Morgan bank, but ifere delayed by heavy traffic and were compelled to pull up 'In front of the United States sub-treasury building across the street. 8TBEETS ARE CROWDED "There were great crowds in the street at the time, as it was in the midst of the lunch hour. I believe that the conspirators purposely chose this time, knowing that It would be easier for them -to escape In the crowded street. They could not have been far aay when the blapt went off. So far as we can learn, the wagon had halted only a few minutes before the explo sion. Immediately after the, blast the sir was filled with the fumes dl picric acid." The authorities have discarded the theory that a robber band hoped to wreck the Morgan bank and the United States sub-treasury and loot the vaults under cover of the general panic and excitement. It Is admitted, however, that such a plot It successfully carried out would have yielded a rich harvest. There was $900,000,000 In gold bullion stored in the vaults of the United States assay office, and $1,000,000 more in the United States sub-treasury. The amount of gold bullion and coin in the Morgan bank and the nearby Bankers' Trust company Is not definitely known, but is very large. With dawn today the army of investi gators on 'the scene of the catastrophe was reinforced. Renewed efforts were made to ' gain information as to the Identity of the terrorists through the horse and wagon which had carried the bomb. The carcass of the dead horse was minutely examined. It was found that the animal was newly shod and that it had recently been clipped. BLACKSMITH 8HOFS CHECKED Detectives have been assigned to can vass all blacksmith shops In New York to check up the owners of horses shod within the past few days. Detectives are making a similar investigation on Long Island and at various places In New Jersey, where anarchists were formerly known to Rather. The poljoe department gave out the following description of the bomb ve hicle: A one horse affair of the "rack" vari ety. The body was enclosed in a net work of slender poles and rails. It was painted yellow. Regular explosive wagons sre painted red, are entirely covered, carry a red flag and are emblazoned with big warn ing placards. All the injured who are able to talk are being examined in hospitals and their nomas by federal and municipal oetectlves. They have been able to give Information of some value, but the most of them said they had noticed nothing until they were knocked down by the earthuake-like explosion. TRINITY STRIKE 8, BLAST SOUNDS Those who were In the Immediate vicinity cf Broad and Wall streets said that the chiming of the clock in Trinity tower had barely ceased when a muf fled roar like a blast of artillery broke lortn. Buildings rocked and the air waa Immediately darkened by smoke and flying wreckage. A sheet of flsme leaped through the windows of the Mor gan bank and the sub-treasury. This name naa we appearance of coming from the bank and It waa this nhe- nomenon that led to the original report mat tne explosion had occurred in the Morgan bask. The echoes of the blast ransr throuo-h uie canyon-iike streets between the tow ering buildings. A pall of thick, oily yellow smoke. 'rose as the streets rattled with the crash of falling glass. A great shout arose from the panic-stricken people. Men and women aroused to frensy by fear began running aimlessly through the streets and above their shouts rose .the screams of the injured. In the excitement no one thought to look for perpetrators of the outrage. In fact St was not known at that time that an Infernal machine had caused it $10,600 REWARD OFFERED FOR CLUE IN BOMB CASE New Torki Sept. 17. I. N. S.)

Irvine A battery of, Cox speakers is soon to be Invading; ' all the counties of Oregon. Milton A. Miller will open the campaign In an address at As toria Friday before tha newly or ganized Cox-Roosevelt club. Fol lowing: the visit of Miller to Astoria, other prominent Cox men will be sent to all parts of the state to set forth the Cox stand on the issues of the day. It is known that the campaign of the Cox backers wlU be carried direct to the farmers ' of Oregon. It is. to. the men on the soil that they have a rather substantial appeal due to the respective stands of Senator Harding and Governor Cox In the past. TO DEIVE FACTS Whereas the ultra-conservative Ohio senator has opposed the agriculturists on more than one occasion, and now has the onposiUoa of the farmers of his own state to overcome, his vigor ous opponent has a record of unbroken fidelity to the interests of the farmer. The Cox speakers will bore into the speech by Harding in the senate, in which he declared for dollar wheat On this point Harding said : "In this latter day farming has be come an occupation for profit and I happen to know" that under normal conditions dollar wheat makes It a very profitable occupation." They will also attack Harding on his speech In the senate in which he op posed the farm loan act. On this he said: "I will not assume to say that con ditions in Ohio are altogether like those in other states in the Union, but I be lieve I can state an absolute truth when I say that there is no more need for a measure of this kind for the agricul turists of Ohio than the government to step in and take charge of all our in dustrial and productive affairs in that state." COX RECORD BEACON The speakers, on the other hand, will point to Cox's record In Ohio. During his administration a law combining all agricultural activities under Jurisdiction of an agricultural commission was es tablished, provision was made for study and establishment of a farm credit plan, a produoer-to-consumer market bureau established, a labor shortage on farms was met by the state placing 5000 tractors into the ( fields and a trac tor school waa conducted under the su pervision of experts. Cox was also re sponsible for provision against sale of untested fertilizer, for a pure seed law, for lifting the loss from cattle destroyed because of disease from the farmer to the state, and for a system of main market highways. OF COX TRIBUTE (Oon tinned Fraie Pas On) which he has made throughout the years against reaction. He fought it with Roosevelt and he continued consistently the contest which began in 1912, through the primaries and the convention of 1920, Just as Roosevelt would have done had he lived. , JOHXSON KO BLACKGUARD "As an Ohloan, I give to you the as surance that the observation made by a distinguished citizen of our state to the effect that Hiram Johnson was a blackguard and unfit to associate with decent men is not the view of our peo ple. I go further and make' the state ment that if Hiram Johnson had been a candidate before the Republican pri maries in Ohio this year, he would have carried them. WARS 8 AGAINST REACTIONARIES "The best guarantee of the future in this - country will be the prevalence of progressive principles in th.e policies of the two leading political parties. But I am convinced that if the reactionary senatorial oligarchy gains control of the government in this campaign it will so manipulate the power of patronage that the progressive Republicans will either be compelled to Join another party or to form one of their own. In clinging naturally to the Idealism of Lincoln and Roosevelt It will be compelled to sur render the banner to the official repre sentatives of big business. Senator Harding himself said that If the pro gressives of 112 came back to the party they would, have to come on "hands and knees.' WHAT KOOSEYELT CHARGED "Let me recall to your minds a par allel between the campaign of 1912 and 1S20. Eight years ago. Colonel Roose velt charged that the nomination was made by reactionary forces, both with in and without official circles. In de fiance or the will of the rank and file as expressed at the preferential pri mary. In 1920, precisely the same thing was done and Senator Johnson waa hu miliated the same aa Colonel Roosevelt To his neighbors, when he returned home from the Chicago convention thia year, he expressed no bitterness and said plainly that he would rather come back to hia home state defeated than to have been nominated In a room of a Chicago hotel by representatives of big business. Hia further observation was: 'A few men have set for naught for the time being the American pri mary system.' It is true, and it would be futile to deny it that 'there are many Cranes, 8 moots and representa tives of Morgan A Co. who arrogate to themselves the right of selection of can didates, notwithstanding what may have been decreed by the people themselves. The sneers of these gentlemen for the expression of the people have never been concealed and their contempt for the mandate of the rank and file of the party they have ever expressed. BARNES ON Pl&ATB SKIP 1 am unable to see by what process of reasoning the political party which has given Boss Barnes of New York a distinct status of leadership in thia campaign can ' expect the progressive friends of Theodore Roosevelt and Sen ator Johnson to gtve it support Barnes was the captain of the pirate ship. In the language of Roosevelt be "was the connecting link between crooked busi ness and crooked politics. Doubtless the return to Barnes' ia Smother evl donee of going back to. normalcy.' Since the time of Hanna and- of Boss Tweed, when public, officers surrendered them selves as puppets to financial Interests because of service rendered during a campaign, never were so many obllga ttona to designing Interests being as sumed by the party of reaction as in this campaign.

RESERVATIONS APPROVED BY COX IN LKTTKK TO YALK Reno, Nev., Sept 17. Governor Cox will make any reasonable concession' In the way of reservations to bring about ratification of the League of Nations, he declared In a telegram to Professor Irving Fisher of Yale university. Dr. Fisher, who is head of an independent voters organisation interested In ratifi cation of the treaty of Versailles, asked the Democratic presidential candidate for a statement on the assertion by former President Taft that the election of Governor Cox would mean an un yielding and uncompromising altitude In relation to ratification of the league. The governor's reply follows: "1 am determined to secure the earliest possible entrance into the League or Nations with the least possible delay and with the least possible reservations needed to accomplish that result. The platform adopted by the convention at which I was nominated permits reserva tions which will clarify and reassure our people, and is opposed only to res ervations which would .nullify and de stroy. I have no doubt that Republican and Democratic senators alike will loyal ly fulfill the people's mandate which my election will signify. I shall en deavor to meet all reasonable desires for proper reservations which are of fered In sincerity and not merely pre sented aa trumped up for political pur poses. "My heart is in this fight and I will put forth all effort and make any rea sonable concessions to win It that we may secure membership In the league for America." INDUSTRIAL PEACE PACT IS CRYING NEED, DECLARES COX Reno, Nev., Sept 17. An industrial and international treaty of peace are the great needs of the country. Governor Cox declared on Thursday night In an address devoted largely to labor and cap ital, which wound up a dusty trip across Nevada. "As in our International relations, in our industrial relations at home we must have a treaty of peace,' he said. Cox said It must be a procedure based upon reasonable principles which have been sanctioned by public opinion. To continue the present Industrial contro versy, he declared, will mean impossibil ity of attaining Industrial stability and prosperity. UNIONS RECOGNIZED Cox pointed out the peace treaty pro vided these labor principles : Labor is not a commodity or article of commerce. The right of collective bargaining is recognized. t Equal pay for women doing the same work as men. The 48-hour week. Payment of an adequate living wage.

FORGEB-NAME, IS BELIEF (Controued From Pne One) of the Bank of Jacksonville, but that during the latter part of April the same 4 CHURCH AUDI HEARS AN ADDRESS LBV OY BONOS VANISH BANKER J -T TJ bonds bad come back from Ladd A-Tll-ton bank. This was the extent of the record so far aa the Federal Reserve bank waa concerned. HK DID HOT INDORSE THEM Ftck is positive that he never indorsed the bonds for conversion, or authorised tneir indorsement and contends that he knows nothing of the transaction. - Kegistereo government bonds cannot be transferred out of the ownership of the person In whose favor they are regis tered unless and until they are duly in dorsed for transfer and the Indorsement Is certified to by a duly acredlted offi cer of a bank. , , The records et Ladd ft Ttlton's bank show that Fick's bonds came to them during the latter part of April last hav ing been sent down by the Bank of Jacksonville for purchase. They were bought by Ladd A Tilton and sent to the Federal Reserve bank to be convert ed into coupon bond. The records of the Portland banking house do not show th state of the Indorsement upon the bonds, but officiala of the bank say that they must have been, on the face of the transaction, regularly Indorsed and certi fied by an officer of Jhe Bank of Jack- r sonville; otherwise they would neither have been accepted for purchase by the Portland bank, nor would they have been converted by the Federal Reserve bank at San Francisco. FOBGEBT PROBABLE It Is apparent then, if circumstantial evidence has any potency, that Johnson, or some other officer of the Bank of Jacksonville, forged the Indorsements of George Kick upon his bonds, certified them aa having been made by him, and theo sent the bonds down to Lsdd & Tilton as belonging to the Bank of Jack sonvllle for . sal by it to the Portland bank. This transaction is on a parity with others of a more or less similar nature put over by Johnson before the bank closed. Johnson acted as the agent for1 various fire insurance companies and since he has been in jail several in stances have come to light where he received money for the premium pay ments on various Insurance policies, which payments he failed to remit to the companies. AMOUNT OF CASH OOOWJC Johnson was the treasurer of the city of Jacksonville, and as such hsd the custody of Its cash and securities. These he kept in the Bank of Jacksonville. Investigation by the city officials since the failure of the bank has disclosed that Johnson put up with the county treas urer aa collateral security for the coun ty deposit S5000 of the Improvement bonds of the city of Jacksonville, which had been purchased, by th water board for the water bond sinking fund. The city also had approximately S1900 of county warrants and Liberty bonds, together with the Interest acrued upon them. In the bank at the time it was closed. It ' is supposed to have had cash on hand amounting to approxi mately $1700, though thia cannot be def initely known until the city's books have been written up, as it was found when they were taken over after John son went to jail that he had made no entries or done any posting subnequent to January 12, 1920, the date of his last official report as city treasurer.
