= NEW YORK, Sept. 23---After one
week of investigation of the explo-
sion that. spread death and terror
in Wall street last Thursday. ofiiciais
today still groped for light that may
lead to a solution of the mystery.
Literally scores of clues, stories
and conjectures have been sifted by
operators of the department of jus
tice and local authorities without
result. Despite the various stories,
William ]. Flynn. chief of the de-
partment of justice agents was as
positive as ever that the trag-
edy was the result of a pre-arranged'
plot of anarchists. He characterized
as plain bunk" renewed stories that
it was accidental and predicted those
responsible would ultimately be
brought to Justice.
1T was a criminal outrage" he
declared I'VE are positive of that
and we are going ahead on that the
ory."
A new clue to the man who drove
the bomb wagon has been occupying
the, attention of the department
agents for the past three days. The
clue is in the form of a tag issued
for horses coming into this state
from New Jersey certifying they are
not suffering from glanders..
A tag of this sort issued by a
New Jersey health department was
found attached to the neck of the
horse and was turned over to the
agents of the department of justice.
Before the tags are issued the
horse is kept under the observations
of veterinary surgeon for sixteen
hours and the owner of the animal
is obliged to give to the authorities
his name, business address and full
description of the animal.

The Board of Freeholders will hold
a meeting at $3.50 O'Clock in the

will be taken on the advertising of
bids for concrete pavement of Lin
coin Boulevard of Middlesex Bor-

Highway Commission. and for this
reason the county has been unable
to start the construction of the road.
The original plans and specifica-
tions called for concrete cutters,
which the state highway officials
did not deem necessary. Following
conference between County Engi-
neer Fox and State Engineer Was
ser, it was decided upon to take out
the part calling for concrete cutters.
Although they are to be constructed
deeper than first planned, the gut
ters will be laid on a heavy bed of
cinders.
The report is also to be put be-
fore the board this afternoon made
by County Engineer Fox in regard
to building retaining walls along
Woodbridge avenue, between Camp
Raritan and Highland Park. Plans
of this project will also be submit
ted at this time.
There are several points along
this road where the rain washes the
street away, and it is recommended
that retaining walls be built to pre-
vent parts of this road from being
in holes and bitches every time

'The war gave a new impetus to

Perth Amboy is no exception. Insti-

Plans made even two or three years

Long experiences has shown that
the only way to make such an or

ton to be held in Atlantic City be-
ginning October S. Mayor Dorsey
desires that at least a committee OF

The fact that the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways association convention is
held this year at Atlantic City is due
to the efforts of Senator Thomas

of work to do when they arrive at
the convention, for the association
this year will pay particular atten-
ton to the waterways of New Jer-
sey, and Raritan river and bay will
come in for it's share of the discus
sion and action of the association.
