NEW YORK. Sept. 17.—The buying move
ment which had been noted in the cotton
market before the Wall street explosion
yesterday, was renewed today. First prices
*were 8 to 38 points higher and active months
soon sold some 40 to 58 points above yes
terday's closing on covering and Liver
pool and Wall street buying. October was
relatively firm, selling up to 28.55, while
December advanced to 25.85 and January to
24.62. October was probably influenced by
report* that part of the local inspected stock
was to be shipped out in the near future,
while buyers otherwise found encouragement
in the steadiness of the cables, reports
of better prospects for a settlement of the
British labor disputes and indications of an
improving demand for cotton goods.
The midmorning advance extended to
28.59 c for October and 25.97 c for December,
or about 40 to 62 points above last night's
closing figures on the more active positions.
There was enough realising to check the
upward movement at these figures and
cause reactions of 15 or 20 points, but trad
ing was quiet late in the morning and tire
market ruled steady around midday. Man
chester cables reported business dull, with
mere mills stopping, and there was prob
ably some selling on prospects for continued
fair weather in the south.
No fresh feature developed in the early
afternoon and business was generally quiet
frith prices ruling around 25.80 for Decem
ber, or about 36 points net higher. North
C arolina wires eported a better spot de
mand with the basis steadier.

GRAIN
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Wheat advanced
sharply in price today largely as a result
jf gossip that export business had been lib
eral and that domestic milling demand con
.inued active. Opening prices varied from
unchanged figures' to 2%c higher.
Wheat closed strong, 4c to 5c net higher.
Prospects of enlarged receipts kept the
corn market relatively weak. After open
ing %c lower to %c advance, the market
scored slight general gains, but then under
went a moderate sag.
Corn closed unsettled, %c to l%c net
lower.
Oats were dull but firm.

parts of the city. Thousands came,
moved only by curiosity, but there
were others inspired by other mo
tives —physicians and nurses bent on
missions of mercy and police, secret
service men and soldiers ordered to
protect property and run down bomb
plotters, if bomb-plotters there were.
Debris Collected
All pieces of clothing, including
shreds of cloth and battered hats,
were collected by the police.
District Roped Off
The financial district was roped
off and- placed under heavy guard
while the work of identifying vic
tims was under way. Some bodies
were so mutilated that hope of
identifying them virtually has been
abandoned. At the Broad street hos
pital alone from 150 to 200 persons
were admitted and one intern stated
that six of these naa died from in
juries. So crowded was the hospi
tal that th einjured were laid on
floors and in hallways.
' When the work of compiling a cas
ualty list was begun it was found
that William T. Joyce was the man
killed in the Morgan banking house.
He was a clerk in the securities de
partment. His father, P. W. Joyce,
who has charge of gold shipments
for the Morgan firm, was badly in
jured in the bead. ..t 2:30 o'clock
two and one-half hours after the ex
plosion the streets outside the po
lice lines were black with people,
while virtually every window was
filled with on-lqokers. Bits of jag
ged glass continued to fall from
winodws, injuring ' those on the
streets, although not seriously.
There we.e 500 policemqgi in the dis
trict in addition to the three com
panies of United States infantrymen.
When the hospital began to over
flow President Silkworth of the Con
solidated Stock Exchange, offered
the use of the building for emer
gency purposes. ®
Details of Damage
The big bronze window fittings of
the United States assay building,
next to the subtreasury and across
the street from the Morgan build
ing, were in many places wrenched
from their positions and stood a tan
gled dangling mas sos metal. Like
wise the heavy bronze office fittings
in the Morgan bond department were
warped and indented as if from ma
chine gun fire.
At 3 o’clock the police were cov
ering with sawdust large pools of
blood in the street.
Stampede Occurs
When thte explosion occurred the
throngs in the streets nearby made a
trantic effort to escape, fearing a
second blast. The wildest hysteria
prevailed, women fainting and men
Plugging onward in a precipitous
rush to safety. Those who were not

four blocks of Wall and Broad
streets when the explosion occurred.”
rv,<S} le *u L, ynn « made . b’ s announce
ment shortly after Fire Commission
er Drennan had reported to Mayor
Hylan his belief that a bomb was
responsible for the disaster and the
police had begun to swing to the
bomb theory as opposed to that of
a collision between a powder wagon
and an automobile.
Search for Driver
Certain at last of the cause of the
explosion, federal agents and city
police increased their search for the
driver of a wagon drawn by one
horse, which was blown to pieces.
No trace of him has yet been found.
The theory of the investigators is
that a time bomb was placed on the
wagon and that the driver hurried
from the scene just after arranging
for the explosion to occur at noon.
While a half dozen official investi
gations were under way members of
the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.
conferred in regard to the disaster.
Then they issued a statement to the
effect that they had no knowledge
as to the cause or motives of the
explosion Several members of the
firm have received verbal and writ
ten communications in regard to the
explosion but they say that it has
not thrown any light upon it.
Fire Commissioner Drennan report
ed today to Mayor Hylan that the ex
plosion in Wall street yesterday,
which killed 34 and injured 200, evi
dently was caused by a bomb.
The financial centers of America’s
big cities from coast to coast are
armed camps today, with police and
private/ sentries posted to guard
against repetition of the mysterious
explosion taht rocked Wall streer
yesterday.
1 More than 150 pounds of broken
sash weights and other metal frag
ments have been collected by the
fire department at the scene of the
disaster and turned over to the po
lice, Commissioner Drennan said.
At police headquarters, it was said
the first task would be to assemble
the fragments in an effort to re
construct the bomb and determine
whether it was made by skilled hands
or by a novice.
The explosion, according to the of
ficial investigators, “apparently oc
curred in a horse-drawn, covered
wagon at a point almost opnosite an
entrance to the United States assay
office."
The investigators found that the
wagon had a red running gear and
that there were no markings on the
harness other than to show it was
for one horse.
The small pieces of window weights
with which the infernal machine had
been loaded had been “fused by an
intense heat” indicating they had been
cut into slugs by a high powered
gas burner.
Wagons Accounted Tor
Referring to the theory that the
explosion had' been caused by the
collision of an automobile with a
powder wagon, Commissioner Dren
nan said that only two concerns are
licensed to convey explosives through
the streets of New York and that all
of their wagons and water trucks had
been accounted for.
No blasting powder, dynamite or
trinitrotoluol was delivered by ei
ther concern to any of the four places
in the downtown district where blast
ing is being done, the report stated.
"Pieces of sheet metal resembling
tin,” the report said, “were found in
the debris similar to metal lining
such as is used in the construction
of export cases for high explosives.”
No sash weights such as were used
in the bomb and fragments of which
pitted the windows and walls of the
J. P. Morgan & Co. institution and
the United States assay building are
missing, the report said, from any of
the windows in the vicinity of the
explosion. The type of sash weight
is regarded as an important clew in
the unravelling of the great mystery.
The board of estimate, meeting
this morning, appropriated SIO,OOO
for information leading to the ar
rest and conviction of persons impli
cated in the explosion. An add tional
SSOO was appropriated for informa
tion leading to the establishment ot
the ownership of the horse and wag
on A proposal by one member that
$25,000 be authorized was rejected.
From Washington, Chicago. Phila
delphia, Boston, Detroit, Baltimore,
as far south as the Gulf of Mexico,
and west to the Golden G&te, authoi
ities announced heavy patrols of
plain clothesmsn and police reserves
in their big business districts, and
federal agents worked with state and
city officials to run down reports ot
widespread extremist plots.
Thirty-six’ persons are dead and
more than 200 Injured from the ex
plosion yesterday, declared by the
police here as probably caused by an
infernal machine. Discovery of parts
of clockwork in the wreckage, and
announcement by experts 7
trinitrotoluol or picric acid was used
in the bomb. If there was one, have
sent detectives and department of
justice men on thirty “leads” point
ing to bomb plots and radical activi
ties.
Meanwhile, the scene of yester
day’s blast is roped off, while the
stock exchange and allied organiza
tions resumed business at the usual
hour this morning.
Several New York detectives and
secret service men left the city be
fore dawn this morning for unan
nounced destinations on out-of-town
errands of the investigation of the
explosion. William J. Flynn, chief
of the bureau of Investigation of the
department of justice, viewed the
scene of the blast personally, ac
companied by police headquarters de
tectives and his own men, steadfast
ly refusing to talk on the subject.
Troops were held in readiness on
Governor’s Island today and detach
ments of the Twenty-second nfantry
were In barracks subject to instant
call.
Building's, Homes Guarded
AU public buildings and the homes
of wealthy and prominent men here
are under special watch and every
available man is held in reserve or

the thousands of workers. During
the same period emergency patrols
were doubled and every doorway and
alley was under close inspection.
Downtown subway stations were
kept cleared by a large force of po
lice. ,
During the early hours public ano
private agencies cleaned up Wall
street, sweeping up tons of debris
and washing* down blood-spattereu
sidewalks and buildings. Repairmen
in force started work remedying
damage to twisted iron office struc
tures in the Morgan building, and
glaziers by scores began the long
tas.. of restoring window panes in
the entire financial hub.
Two reported warnings that the
explosion was to occur figured in
the investigation today.
One of these was a letter received
by Lieutenant Arnaud, of the French
h'gh commission, from a man known
to have been a former employe ot
the comission, who predicted, it was
said, such an occurrence and warn
ed the commission to close oft.ee ana
send the employes home yesterday
afternoon. . .
The other was a letter received
two days ago by George Ketchledge,
an employe of a brokerage house,
from Edward Fischer in Toronto,
Canada, who warned against remain
ing in Wall street “after 3 .0 clock
on the fifteenth” and ended his mis
sive with “good luck.”
Efforts also were made today to
ascertain the approximate amount of
bonds and other negotiable securi
ties said to have been lost during
yesterday’s confusion.
Special detectives and officials ot
surety companies were exerting
their efforts to this end. It was re
ported the amount of securities lost
was expected to run into several
hundred thousand dollars.
Estimates of the property damage
run as high as $2,500,000.
Accident, Insists Lamont
Despite the police theory that
the explosion was that of an infer
nal machine, several eye-witnesses
reported a wagon bearing the sign
“explosives,” was seen near the
Morgan building a few moments be
fore the blast occurred. This led to
the theory, which was still held by
members of the Morgan firm, that
the explosion was caused by a col
lision betwen 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
premeditated bombing. I can see
nothing to be gained by such an act.
Circumstances of the occurrence
surely do not point to an attempt to
wreck the Morgan offices.
“If anybody really plotted destruc
tion of our building, I believe that
we would have been sent the warn
ing that is usual in such instances.
And we havb not been threatened in
any manner. I believe the explosion
was due to nothing more than an
unfortunate accident to a dray load
ed with explosives, which I am in
formed had arrived on the site of
the stock exchange building addi
tion across the street from our of
fices.”
Two more names were added to
the death list of the blast with the
announcement that John Donahue, a
Brooklyn accountant, and John W.
Weir died in hospitals this morn
ing of explosion injuries.
Burns’ Theory
W. J. Burns, detective, said he had
no doubt that bombs were the cause
of the explosion. One theory was
ALABAMA MINE
AREA QUIET AGAIN;
ONE KILLED, 2 HURT
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 17. —
Quiet prevailed in the coal strike dis
trict early today following a number
of disturbances yesterday afternoon
and last night. Reports that Gover
nor Kilby had ordered six companies
of national guards into Jefferson
and Walker counties did not lessen
the intense feeling which has existed
between mine guards and striking
miners since last Sunday.
Culmination of a series of collisions
between guards and strikers occurred
at the mines of the Corona Coal com
pany yesterday afternoon when L.
M. Adler, superintendent for the
Corona company, was shot to death
and Deputy Sheriffs Sullivan and
Coker were wounded.
According to Edgar L. Adler, uncle
of the slain man, who was an eye
witness, the superintendent with
twenty-five mine guards left the
camp of the Corona company and
started down the road to intercept
a party of strikers, who it had been
reported, had gathered near the camp.
The superintendent and his party
had not proceeded very far when
shots were fired and a lively skirmish
enshed
Mr. Adler was killed in the first
exchange of shots and the two depu
ties were badly wounded. Following
the encounter the strikers withdrew.
So far as could be learned no arrests
were made.
Coal operators and union leaders
early today were awaiting word from
Montgomery as to what action the
governor will take on the report of
the special coal commission which he
appointed to investigate the strike.
The commission has completed its
work and it is understood the report
has been mailed to the governor.
While no information was given out
as to the nature of the findings, it
was indicated by one of the mem
bers that recommendations had been
made for .the creation of a state board
of arbitrators, which would have pow
er to deal in a legal way with in
dustrial disturbances.
Members of the commission ad
mitted freely today that their task
had been difficult and that nol-prog
ress had been made toward settling
the dispute between operators and
union leaders. Recognition of the
union was the chief issue, they said,
and the operators had refused to
deal directly or indirectly with mem
bers of the United Mine Workers.
J. R. Kennamer, pres.dent of the
Alabama organization, told the com
mission that recognition was the one
issue for which he was contending
Production is about 50,000 tons less
than normal this week, according to
reports compiled by Frank V. Evans,
federal piine statistician. Most of
the loss has occurred in the produc
tion of domestic coal which is used
by the householder.
Operators say lack of cars is the
chief handicap against which they
are contending and that the strike
has had practically no effect upon
tonnage. Union leaders declare twen
ty-five mines in this district are
idle and that many others are run
ning on part time. Increased output
bv mines onerated under union con
tracts, they say, has prevented a
serious drop in production.
Operators’ estimates of the num
ber of men on strike is 7,000. Union
leaders say twice that number are
out.
SECOND CAMPAIGN
FOR GOVERNOR OF
GEORGIA LAUNCHED
(Continued from Page 1)
jority, and the county unit vote of
190 for Mr. Hardwick being four
less than a majority, the subcom
mittee accordingly ordered a second
primary to be held on Wednesday.
October 6, the date fixed by law.
This brought up the question of
how the expense of the second pri
mary should be defrayed. The law
makes no provision for it. Mr. Hard
wick and Mr. Walker, who were pres
ent, frankly stated that they did
not have the money. The total cost
is estimated at $15,000. At the re
quest of the subcommittee, Messrs.
Hardwick and Walker went into joint
conference with friends to work out
a plan. They decided to call upon
their friends in every county to vol
teer as managers and clerks in every
precinct, so give each candidate an
equal division of the personnel, and
to put up funds to employ managers
and clerks in counties where no
friends volunteered.
The subcommittee adopted this
plan and fixed Monday, October 2a,
as the date for the state convention.
Macon had previously been selected
ps the place. The delegates in each
county will be nominated by the
gubernatorial candidate carrying that
county and named by the chairman
of the county committee. Ail ap
pointments of delegates heretofore
tentatively made by county chairmen
were canceled by the subcommittee.
Missing Baby Found
Half Starved in Weeds
UNION HILL, N. J., Sept. 17.
Clara Cirelli, twenty-months-old
girl, missing since Tuesday evening,
and believed to have been kidnapped,
was found alive today in a lonesome,
weed-grown spot here. The baby
was half starved and badly mosqui
to bitten but recovered quickly when
fed.
that there were several infernal ma
chines in the wagon.
“The bombs were loaded with win
dow weights cut in half,” said Mr.
Burns. “They were put in a delivery
wagon which was driven into Wall
street from the East Side. The wag
on was driven up Wall street from
the east to the curb directly in front
of the assay office, just across the
street from the Morgan offices, and in
a position where the flying fragments
would wreak havoc on the subtreas
ury building and the stock exchange
as well. We have evidence to prove
it was the work of time lock bombs.
Sufficient evidence was collected from
the debris in the street to make it
safe to say the police will have the
case cleared up within ten days.”
A piece of metal, presumably from
a bomb, and an iron slug, weighing
about a pound, were found by U. S.
Grant, deputy assistant treasurer, on
the roof of the subtreasury building
this morning.

official count of Wednesday’s pr’-

a clerical error in the tabulation of
the Chicago vote put McKinley in •
~the lead by about 4.000 votes, fur- '

report, was 321,884. Smith had
