29 PERSONS KILLED AND 200
‘WOUNDED BY EXPLOSION.
SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—A mysterious
explosion in Wall street, near Broad,
believed by trained department of
justice and police investigators to
have been caused by an infernal ma
chine, rocked the heart of New
York’s financial district at noon to
day, leaving death and destruection in
its wake.
At least twenty-nine persons were
killed, more than 200 were injured,
the banking house of J. P. Morgan &
Co., the sub-treasury and the assay
office were partially wrecked and
property damage estimated in excess
of $1,000,000 was caused by the
blast.
The noon hour had struck and an
endless stream of office workers had
just started pouring into the streets
from buildings in the neighborhood.
Suddenly a cloud of yellowish black
smoke and a piercing jet of flame
leaped from the street outside the
Morgan office.
Then came a deafening blast. A
moment later scores of men, women
and children were lying prostrate on
the ground and the streets were cov
ered with debris- from thousands of
broken windows and the torn facades
of adjacent buildings. Two minutes
later the stock and curb exchanges,
the financial pulse of the world, had
closed. Panic and confusion reigned
in the heart of New York’s financial
district. :
Thousands of clerks and stenogra
phers fled in terror from adjoining
structures. Scores fainted, fell and
were trampled on in the rush. Mean
while, the noise of the explosion
which was heard throughout lower
Manhattan and across the river in
Brooklyn brought thousands of the
curious to the scene,
Burns Says Bomb Responsible.
The explosion was caused by time
lock bombs placed by anarchists or
“reds” as a Egesture to startle the
world, says William S. Burns, who
was personally on the scene conduct-|
ing an investigation within a few
minutes after the explosion occurred.
“The bombs were loaded with
window weights cut in half,”” Burns
explained. “They were put in a de-|
livery wagon which was driven into
Wall street from the east side some
place, as the police would not permit |
such a vehicle to enter from Broad
way or Nassau street. We have the |
evidence to prove that it was the
work of time-lock bombs.” '
Just Accident, Insists Lamont. I
Despite the police theory that the|
explosion was that of an infernal|
machine several eye-witnesses re
ported a wagon bearing the sign “ex-i
plosives” was seen near the Morgan
building a few moments before the |
blast occurred. This led to the theo-‘!
ry, which was still held by members}
of the Morgan firm tonight, that the
explosion was caused by a collision
between the explosive-laden wagon‘
and another vehicle. |
“From what we have learned I am
inclined to believe the explosion was
due merely to an accident,” Thomas
W. Lamont, of the Morgan firm, de
clared. “There are no reasons that,
we can find that would lead to a pre-l
meditated bombing. I can see noth
ing to be gained by such an act.” 1

plosion was dropped +Wednesday
morning through the mail slot of a
door in one of the offices of the
French high commission at 65 Broad
way, it became known tonight. This
letter was torn into small pieces soon
after it was read and dropped into
a waste basket, the recipient of it
feeling assured it had been written
by an alarmist and should not be
taken seriously.
Today, after the explosion, these
bits of paper were taken from the
basket, pasted together and turned
over to the police. The .letter, which
was addressed to Lieutenant Arnaud,
who is attached to the commission,
began with the word, “Greetings.”
The writer said he thought he was
rendering a seryice to the French
commission by advising Maurice Cas
enave, minister plenipotentiary, and
his assistants of the fact that a ca
tastrophe would occur in Wall street
about 2:30 o’clock. No date was
mentioned.
The writer suggested that Lieu
tenant Arnaud advise Minister Case
ngve to have the office of the com
‘mission closed and unoccupied at 2
o’clock so that the lives of the office
staff might be spared. The letter also
'mentioned “between 2 and 4 o’clock
daylight time” as the probable hour
for the catastrophe,
ONE OF NEGROES WHO WAS
- CAUSE OF RIOT AND BURNING
OF CHURCHES AND LODGES.
BLAKELY, Ga.—Governor Dorsey
' has saved from the noose Ulyses
! Goolsby, by commuting his sentence
from death to life imprisonment.
| Goolsby, together with his father,
i Granderson Goolsby, and his young
|er brother, Mike Goolsby, it is alleg
led, called Villipique from his
'home one day five years ago and
shot him to death. The elder Goolsby
'was lynched in one of the wildest
| riots that ever swept Early county,
'in which almost every negro church
and lodge was burned. The two sons
| escaped to Mississippi, where they
'were located and brought back for
|trial, being lodged at first in the
' Fulton county jail for safekeepipg.
. A change of venue was refused
'and the boys were tried and con
'victed of murder at Blakely. The
| verdict of the court was reversed by
‘the supreme court and the second
‘trial resulted in another conviction
‘and a second death sentence follow
‘ed by another reversal in the supreme
court. At the third trial Ulyses Gools
by was again convicted and sentenc
ed to death but Mike was acquitted,
a verdict which the subreme court
' declined to reverse.
Since his final conviction Ulyses
‘Goolsby has been respited three
itimes by Governor Dorsey pending
‘the submission of newly discoveted
evidence which his attorneys claimed
to have found. The. prison commis
sion had twice declined to recom
‘mend a change in the sentence and
the announcement that Governor
Dorsey had commuted it to life im
prisonment was received with gener
al surprise.
NEGRO FEASTS, THEN |
’
GOES TO DEATH CHAIR
Watermelon and Chicken Feature of
Last Dinner Before Murderer
Is Put to Death. i
OSSING, N. Y.—Two convicted
murderers, John Egan and Frank
Kelley, a negro, were put to death
in the electric chair at Sing Sing
prison last night.
Egan, a one legged man, was con
victed of killing Louis Klein, clerk,
in a Bronx cigar store. Kelley killed
Catherine Dunn, housemaid, who
sought to prevent him from robbing
{xer employer’s residence in Brook
yn.
Kelley confessed tonight that it
“was he who held up and robbed Miss
i Florence Hart. in Brooklyn, in 1915,
' for which crime another man is now
serving a term in Sing Sing prison.
The largest watermelon obtainable
- on the local market was the feature
of the last dinner last night of Kel
'ley. He ordered in addition roast
|chicke'n, French fried potatoes, cof
fee, biscuits and milk.
According to the authorities of
Springfield, Mo., Kelley is the same
negro known as Bus Cain, who es
caped from a jail there fourteen
years ago while a mob was seeking
him for the murder of Thomas
Roark.
After hiding in a cave near Spring
field he went to Los Angeles, where
he was arrested, but released after
Joseph W. Folk, governor of Missou
ri at the time, declined tc sign ex
tradition papers, saying he feared
mob violence if Cain was returned.

‘WASHINGTON ALREADY SPECU
LATING ON HOW ELECTION
% WILL AFFECT INCUMBENTS.
~ WASHINGTON, D. C.—With the
‘early approach of the presidential
election the biggest question in the
:minds of hundreds, perhaps thous
"ands, of persons today is this—will
it be Cox, and will the democratic
ioffice—holders stay close to the pat
ronage counter, or will it be Hard
‘ing, who will dish out the savory
stuff? y
~ If the republicans are successful
iin the November election, the major
ity in the senate will undoubtedly
follow the precedent set by thous
‘ands of democrats in the closing
‘days of the Taft administraticn and
‘block all nominations to office that
‘require the consent of that body.
' Between the convening of the senate
‘and the fourth of next March the
‘terms of a large number of officers
under presidential appointment will
expire, and among them are many of
importance, both in compensation
and in character. President Wilson
may be counted upon to fill these of
fices and to insist upon action by the
senate, but the senate, it must be re
membered, is likely to conduct its
own program in the light of the po
litical situation as it will then exist.
Republican leaders do not hesitate
to admit that if Harding is elected,
and of this they express no doubt,
not an appointment submitted to the
senate after December 6, the day
cgngress sonvenes, will be confirm
ed.
| How Democrats Acted.
When President Taft sought to fill
vacancies that occurred after the
}election of 1912 the democrats pro
ceeded to nullify his appointing pow
‘er by refusing to permit confirma
‘tion. This resulted in holding the va
}’canci_es open and presenting Presi
‘dent Wilson with a very comfortable
‘amount of patronage at the outset
of his administration. Republicans
‘believe that turn about is fair play,
and they will undoubtedly follow the
‘same plan.
It is not unlikely that the same
program will be followed if Gover
nor Cox is elected. There is a dispo
sition in some quarters to believe
that the Cox administration—if Cox
is elected—may not follow entirely
along the Wilson paths, and it is
said here that there are some repub
licans who would not be unwilling to
prepare the way under such circum
stances.
As a matter of fact it is now al
most certain that this much will be
done and the following rules adopt
ed, so far as the tenure of office of
those already _holding federal posi
tions is concerned—if the record of
the holder is good and he has made
an efficient official he will be permitt
ed by Harding, if the latter is elect
ed president, to serve out his ferm.
If the democrats in office serve out
their terms they will have nothing to
complain about if a republican suc
ceeds them, ‘
Of course if Cox is elected it will
then be a question of whether the
present democratic office-holders
shall continue to serve or whether
others shall be rewarded. \
These are questions which the
leading men of both of the parties
are seriously considering because
they realize they must in all proba
bility be practically settied in the
near future. |

LEST YOU FORGET.
Let us remind you that Chamber
lain’s Tablets not only cause a gen

prove the appetite and strengthen
the digestion,
KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.
When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don’t get scared and prooeed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body’s urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
mal activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, 80 we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink Jots of water—you can’t drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a source of irri
tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
peys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and mo
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache.
