MUTT AND JEFF— I YES, AS A CHILD JEFF WAS VERY, VERY POLITE. BY BUD FISHER , 5 COTTON 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. NEW YORK COTTON The following were the ruling prices In tlx exchange today: Tone, steady; middling, 31e, quiet. Last Prev.

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.

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 actively working. Between 8 and 9 o’clock this morn ing police lines in the financial dis trict were relaxed for admission of 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. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1920. THOMPSON AND LOWDEN DIVIDE ILLINOIS SPOILS CHICAGO. Sept. 17. —Efforts were continued today to complete the un- ! official count of Wednesday’s pr’- mary ballot for the closely contest ed Republican gubernatorial and senatorial nominations and he Dem ocratic senatorial race. With 691 out of the 5,737 precincts in the state missing, of which 279 were in Chicago, Len Small, of Kankakee. ■ supported by Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, for the gubernatorial nom ination, appeared to have peen the I victor over Lieutenant Governor 1 John C. Oglesby, Lowden candidate i by a plurality of about 10,000 in a ' total vote of nearly 700,000. Small polled his heaviest vote in Chicago where he received the support o' the Thompson Republicans. whil Oglesby’s strength came from th" down-state Lowden Republicans Congressman W. B. McKinley Lowden Citndidate for senator, ap peared to have defeated Frank I- Smith, supported by Mayor Thomo son. by a plurality somewhat :mali er than that which decided the gub ernatorial contest. Rectification ■>’ a clerical error in the tabulation of the Chicago vote put McKinley in • ~the lead by about 4.000 votes, fur- ' ther down-state reports adding to the gains. McKinley’s vote. with 447 precincts outside Cook county to report, was 321,884. Smith had 317.335. with 279 precincts missing in Chicago. The official canvass to oe held next Tuesday probably will be neces sary to determine the Democratic senatorial winner, as with compila tion of unofficial returns, Robert > Burke and Peter A. Waller continued to run neck and neqk. With 2,815 precincts in the state tabulated, of which 2.13) were in Cook county, the vote was Burke 48,820; W; Iler, 48.- 992. .
