No Bomb Was Sent to the
 White House
REPORT IS EXPLAINED
Result of Joking Statement Made by Reporter in Press Room-The President Pays Little At
 tentiOn to Matter

Washington, July 1s.--After an unofficial investigation that lasted many hours White House and Senate officials tonight denied the report today that bomb ad- dressed to President Taft had found its way to the executive offices, and that Assistant Secretary to the President sherman P. Allen had been injured when he opened the package that contained it. Mir. Allen showed his hands to every man who called al the White House to- day. There was not spot nor burn upon them He denied that he had seen the bomb described and said he could not account for the report
 Secret service officials denied the story in emphatic terms. and President Taft apparently cared so little for it that he ioked about it at breakfast in the White House, laughed about it with callers later, and went to play golf as usual this aft ernoon unprotected
 According to information that White House officials were able 10 gather the report originated in the press room at the executive offices. reporter for d New York morning paper told friend, with whom he was playing chess, thae the afternoon newspapers had missed a great story
 The reporter was joking and the friend knew 1t. Other newspaper men who came in later and to whom the tale was re- heated also understood, but from the re- ports which were taken to the White House today. the story took root some where and this morning it startled not only officials, but the capital, and appar- ently the country as well.
 Secretary to the President Carmi Thompson and Assistant Secretary Fors- ter said tonight that although they worked late last night, they were not questioned about the report, and it was only when dangling telephone bells pulled them out of bed with insstent clamor in the early hoprs that they heard that the Presidents life had been in danger They pointed out the fact that no mail nor package goes to an assistant secretary, but is opened in another office 30 feet away. and that if this be correct, it would be quite impossible for MT. Allen to acquire a burned hand in uncover ing a bomb Chief John E. Wilkie, of the secret service, was unalarmed by the re- port. He not only denied it, but said it was unfortunate because the publica- tion of such a story might mean that people throughout the country would be aroused by it.
