ATTEMPT To BLOW
UP LIGHT PLANT
MADE At SOCORRO
WatChman Picks Up Package
of Dynamite Thrown Into
Building and Huhs It Out
Sidei Explosion Rocks Town.

Socorro, n. NJ, Sept. S.--An at
tempt to destroy the electric light
plant here at 1915 o'clock this morn
ing was baked by a watchman who
discovered a package of dynamite,
which had been thrown into the
building and hurled il outside.
The package exploded outside the
plant with force that shook buildings
and with a roar that awoke virtually
the entire town. The building was
not damaged. The charge, it was said
was heavy enough to have destroyed
the plant had the explosion occurred
inside it's walls.
The watchman did not see who threw
the package into the plant. His first
intimation of the attempt came when
the package was thrown through the
open door, dropping almost at his
feet Without a seconds hesitation he
picked it up and threw it back. Delay
on his part would have meant destruc-
tion Of the building. The explosion took
place only a second or two after the
package left his hands.
The attempt Is a mystery and the
motive of the yould-be dynamiter is
unexplainable. He had nothing to gain
aside from throwing the town into
darkness.
Search for the dynamter was be-
gun shortly after the explosion, but
at 1 o'clock he had not been found

Washington, Sept. President
Wilson tonight placed an embargo, eff
fective September 10, on the exporta-
ton of coin, bullion and currency. AT
the same time he authorized the Sec
retary of the treasury to license such
expectations where, in the opinion of
the federal reserve board, they are not
harmful to the public interest.
The embargo, which applies to all
nations, places absolute control over
gold exports in the hands of Secretary
McAdoo and the . federal reserve
board. Officials believe that the meas
ure will 80 far toward conserving the
huge stores of gold accumulated in
this country since the beginning of
the war, a store which recently has
been drawn upon rather heavily by
Japan, Mexico and Spain.
No Strict Adhesion.
Strict adhesion to the embargo is
regarded as unlikely and undesirable
Curtailment, however. of the free
movement of gold to the orient, ap-
pears probable. For some time past
treasury and reserve board officials
have viewed with some concern the
tendency of gold to flow away from
the United States, movement which
started with the financing here Of the
allies. Recently the federal reserve
board requested the bankers of the
country to aid. so far as possible, In
checking the growing exports.
The presidents proclamation
amends and supplements his general

gust 27. Appended to 1t is an execu-
tive order providing that applications
for the expectation of coi2, bullion or
currency shall be made to federal re-
serve banks and passed upon finally

Vast Stock of Gold.
Within the five-week period ending
August II exports totalling $73,00o,-
600 were more than four times as
great as imports. The movement has
been too recent, however, to effect
substantially the great volume of gold
in this country. The stock is $3,000,.
100000, Of which approximately 40
per cent has been imported since jan

Imports of gold during the current
year have totalled more than $685.
