M., Caused Detectives to Be R to That Terminal and Also the Pennsylvania Station— Investigation of Wall Street Explosion Continues. New York, Sept. 23.—After a able to solve the mystery of the Wall Street explosion, they were presented to- day with another mystery—who placed » package of dynamite in the Reid ave- nue elevated station in Brooklyn this morning? The package was found by a police- man doing strike duty on the Fulton etreet line, which is operated by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. He soaked it in a bucket of waler and then carried it to fire headquarters in Brook- lyn. Later it was taken to a laboratory in Manhattan for analysis, Accounts differ as to whether a splut- tering fuse was attached. Some officials reported that Patrolman Santelli, who found it, stamped out u fusec. At the laborsaoty where the package was taken, it was said there had been found two pipe cleaners impregnated with nitrate. Thees pipe cleaners, it was said, could have served as fuses but it had not been established whether either had been lighted. Authorities seemed fo agree that no percussion caps had been found. Meanwhile detectives investigating the ‘Wall Street explosion reported that through the heaith department they had been able to identify the tag found near the horse attached to the death eart which is believed to have n the cen- ter of the blast. This tag, it was learned had been is- pued in 1918 to the Reld Ice Cream Company of Brooklyn, to certify that pne of its horses was not afflicted with glanders, but since then the horse had been sold three times. latest owner, if known, was not made public. - Chief Willlam J. Flynn of the bureau »f investigation of the department of justice had this to say of the latest clue: “It looks good, but like any clue it may blow up at any time. The police, too, repressed any exul- tation they may have félt in running down the identity of the tag. While gatisfied as to the identity of the bit of metal. they were not so certain that, af- ter all, they had estabiished that of the horse, for a report reached them that the animal itself was still alive and was now hauling a_wagon at the Fulton Fish Market. Detectives “explained that the tag might easily have been transferred from one horse to another but that they hoped 1o establish through the shoes found on the dead animal whether it wa that for which the tag had been i~ sued week had passed without Investigators being The name of the | Meanwhile, in addition to discovery of the bomb on the B.

An anonymous warning that the Grand Central Station would be blown'up at 2 p. m. caused de- tectives to be rushed to the terminal and also to the Pennsylvania station and post office. Nothing happened. In Brooklyn, seizure of a rickety bug- gy by federal authorities caused a lit- tle excitement, because of the almost prehistoric vehicle that figured 'in the Wall street blow up. The buggy, which drew up alongside the federal building, was found, however, to contain 12 bot- tles of whiskey and not bombs. The liquor was seized and the driver arrest- ed. : In Bogota, N. J., two dozen suspicious looking tubes were found in a freight car. An investigation was started to de- termine whether they were bombs or bomb casings. The grand jur; plosion of last day to hear witnesses. Ray Clark, foreman of an excavation crew working in Wall gtreet at the time of the explosion told again today to the grand jury the story he related yester- day to reporters, That immediately af- ter the blast he was approached by a strange man who professed to « be the owner of the horse attached to the death cart. He described the man as being well dressed, stockily built and speaking with a slight accent. Clark said the man came to the exca- vation structure with several others to view the scene of explosion. Clark said he ordered the people away but the man| persisted M staymg. The stranger was finaily ordered sm the structure, the wit- ness said, and was not Seen again. Clark's story was, corroborated by three members ‘of the excavation gang. Ziegler, Kessler and Dulchin, hard- ware dealers, testifying before the grand {jury, described 3 man who they said had appeared at their store asking for nine-pound window- weights, which they were unable to furnish him. Sawed up weights of this nature were found after the explosion and are believed to have been part of the bomb. A curious ingident in connection with the explosion came to light tonight when a representative of - the Pennsylvania railroad aj\-ared at police headquarters| with part of a window welght, found g the company's ferryboat ~Washing /1 when it lay at its slip at the foot of Cortlandt street, many blocks from “the explosion.

Marion, O., Sept. 23.—Sctting forth his views on the Irish republic problem for the first time since his nomination, Sena- tor .Harding declared in a public state- ment today that it was “not a question for official America” and would be class- ed as “internal and domestic” under the league of nations covenant. He did’ not. state specifically what his policy would be if elected president, but he suggested. that this nation already “meddled abroad excessively” and that official. action by the Washington govern- ment would be, quite a different thing from an expression of sympathy, such as the senate adopted more than a year ago. The statement was issued in response to numerous inquiries as to his posi- tion, Senator Harding's statement was Is- sued in_ the course of one of his busiest days, during which he held a series of conferences on financial and other is- sues and made a front porch speech, asking for the co-opération of business executives and soclal reformers to pro- mote social welfare. Arfiong his callers were Otto H. Kahn, the New York financier; Representative James W. Good, of lowa,’ chairman of house appropriations commitice; Rep- resentative C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia, and James M. Reck of New York. & former assistant attorney general and a student of international affairs. After his talk with the nominee, Mr. Kahn issued .a statement declaring Te was greatly pleased at the senator's “calm judgment” on national policise, and add- ing that “any one who thinks in Senator Harding he will find a stand-patter, a man in sympathy with reactionary views, will make a great mistake in votng for him.” A statement also was issued by Mr. Beck praising the candidate’s ability to grasp international problems and predict- ing that he would be a commanding fig- ure in world affairs during the next few years. The senator’s front porch address, de- voted principally to a discussion of sociat welfare, was. delivered before a gathering composed of republicans from Crawford county, Ohio, and of members of the Ohio Dental Association. The crowd cheered him repeatedly saving its greatest out- burst of applause for a digression in which he declared he could not under- stand how anyone “could prefer a con- glomerate flag of the league of nations to the Stars and Stripes.” Social 'progress, the senator asserted, could come only if business men on the one hand, and social reformers on the other, co-operated to knit into one pat- tern the conservation of material and hu- man resources. He also made a plea for a more even halance between agriculture and industry, saving that in recent vears ute to the service rendered the nation by farmers the npminee said he hoped some day to become one. _“I_ would rather than anything elsa in the world” he added. “H is the only occupation 1 kuow where you can sit on your own fence and figuratively tell everybody to go jump in the river.” e a farmer COOLIDGE'S VIEWS ON FUTURE ! OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE | i Boston, Sept. 23.—Governor Coolidge's views on the future of the Jewish people, asked of him as the republican candidate for vice president by Representative El- hu D. Stone of this city, were cfntained in- a letter of reply which Mr. Stone made public today. The letter follows: “Should the opportunity present itself 1 should be pleased to support Senator Harding in such efforts as he might make for the bettering of the condition of the Jewish people wherever they may be, for undertaking to assist them in the sup- port of organized government devery- where, which is the only means of protect- ing and advancing their libgrties. Our great concern is to make of America such an example -of righteous laws and of im- plicit obedience to those laws on the part of all citizens ' that the material pros- perity and spirilial blessings which flow therefrom may demonstrate to ail the soundness of suah actions. ‘In this great enterprise the Jewish peopie of America ought to take a most prominent part.

The interest shown by himself, as editor of twenty-one Scripps newspapers, and by his family in bringing about Governor Cox's election he said was “purely public interest.” The inquiry into alleged travel at gov- ernment expense of federal employes to San Francisco will be pursued by the committee on the basis of the information received today, the committee calling for records from the departments of justice and agriculture to show what employes had gone to the Pacific coast city about the time of the democratic convention and had had their expenses paid by the government.
