 PROBE EXPLOSION IN N. Y. SUBWAY

New York, Sept. 23.-Five official Investigations of the cave-in of the new subway under construction in 7th avenue which killed seven persons and injured about 85. were under way to-day.
 The accident, which took place yes terday, was attributed to 6, collapse of the wooden street surface the re- suit of a dyna mite blast. The inqui- ries were conducted by the public ser vice commission, district attorney and other state officials. The search for the plaster who set off the shot that caused the collapse was continued to- day. He disappeared imme ediately af- ter the explosion. At least five miles of Manhattan's thorOughfares, includ- ing some of the avenues carrying heavy traffic, are undermined by sub- way construction.
 Piles of wreckage of all descrip- tions in the bottom of the excavation were being searched to-day. Several subway workmen were still missing and it was feared their bodies were buried under the debris.

SAYS MOB TRIED
 TO TORTURE FRANK

Augusta, Ga, Sept. 2s-The asser-
 ton that Leo M. Frank was tortured by his ca aptors in an endeavor to make
 him confess himself guilty of the mur-
 der of Mary Phagan before being
 lynched at Marietta, and that never
 theless Frank died stoutly proclaim
 ing his innoncence to the last, is made
 in a. letter written to Thomas w. Loy-
 less, editor of the Augusta Chronicle,
 by Dr. w. P. Ponder of Forsyth. Dr.
 Ponder, who is a prominent physician of Forsyth, says he learned this
 who heard one of the mob assert it.
 Here is his letter.
 Forsyth, Ga, Sept. 15, 1915.
 Dear Sir: Allow me to congratu- late you for your Sundays article. I do most heartily thank you for the many courage displayed for truth, and for our beloved Georgia You have said what I would liked you to have said months ago, which, in all prob ability would have prevented this
 great outrage on. our mother state, By the way, I hear through me chanic from Atlanta, who is doing re- pairing here, that he heard one of the mob say that every manner of torture was used on Frank to extort a con fession, but that he stoutly proclaimed his innoncence until the last, when 3 vote was taken to determine whether or not he should be returned to Mil ledgeville. All but Eour of the mob voted to recant, and these four said they would murder him on the spot. I am satisfied that these brutes are perfectly assured of his innoncence. as the record shows beyond a doubt he was not guilty. Go on with your 1 work; you are headed for right and truth. Let not the demoniac of fsThomson frighten you in the least. He is power1ess against truth.
 Yours in honor,
 w P. PONDER, M. D. Box 27, Forsyth. Ga.

 Hngton Roo, arrived in this city yes terday and was entertained this af-' ternoon at a luncheon given by Henry C1ews at the Bankers Club, attended by many men of prominence.

 by President Yuan for this difficult
 mission.
 1 Dr. Roo passed his early years in
 study at Cornell and Columbia uni versailles, preparing himself to be of

 China is held as the highest au-
 thority on this complex phase of in Iternational politics.
 I On his return to China pr. Koo was lappointed to the highest position ever given to a returned student, that of
 English secretary to the president as we'll as secretary to the cabinet. Late
 he was appointed to the foreign office
 and soon elevated to the high position 1 of counsellor, equivalent to the post
 recently held by Secretary Lansing in ] this country.
 l Dr. Koo's wife was also educated in ] America. She is the daughter of MT.
 Tang Shao-yi.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. MT. Stocking of New York, who is an uncle of the groom, assisted by Rev. MT. Clarke of this city. Seven other c1ergymen were in the chancel, dressed in their surplices, viz: Messrs. Stinson, William Warland, A. N. Stanley, L. French and N. H. Cham

Take it all in all, the affair was one of the most brilliant and attractive that ever took plave in the city.
