Epidemic Bomb Threats Noted
 Over Country

New York, Sept. 22.-While the latest developments today in the in- vestigation of Wall streets explosion pointed to an accident rather than a plot news dispatches from other cities indicated that mild epidemic of "bomb threats" had broken out throughout the country.
 Virtually the only progress made in the investigation of the disaster here last Thursday came unsought.
 While various Investigating bodies were tracking clues all over New York and New Jersey four men em- ployed by house wrecking concern working in the financial district walked into the municipal building on their own account and reported that ten minutes before the blast they had talked with the driver of the death wagon which is believed to have carted bomb into Wall street or to have been hit by an au- tomobile there while carrying ex- plosives across the city.
 The workers said that the driver had rushed up to them and declared his wagon has been blown up while he was telephoning his employer for another address to which he had been ordered to take some building ma terials. Then he is said to have dis appeared.

PR0HIB NOMINEE MAKES PROMISE
 TO DESERT RACE
Watkins Declares He Will Withdraw If Others Prom-
 ise to Uphold Laws

Washington, Sept. 22-Senato1 Harding and Governor Cox, Republi- can and Democratic presidential can didates respectively, were promised today by Aaron S. Watkins, the Pro- hibitionist party's candidate, that he would withdraw from the race ii either of them pledged his support to the dry program.
 MT. Watkins announcement was made in an address before the Inter national congress against alcoholism He said later that he would embody his proposals in telegrams to Can didates Harding and Cox.
 "I ask only two things of the other candidates" MT. Watkins told the congress. "Whenever any one of them pledges himself to enforce the eighteenth amendment and enforce the Volstead act, if elected, and to use all of his power and influence to retain them as part of the nations law, I will agree to ask our national committee to release me from the ticket"
 The assertion from the prohibition nominee followed series of inferen- tial as we'll as direct. statements by speakers at the congress that the pro- hibition party might be the cause of ovorturning the dry majority in Congress through direction of suf- frage votes from "known' dry candi- dates. P. A. Baker, general super intendent of the aAnti-Saloon League precipitated near clash by an ad- dress, the trend of which was an ap- peal for all Prohibition workers to support the dry candidates on the major tickets and thereby avoid pos sibility of Antiprohibitionists being elected locally.
 At the conclusion of MT. Bakers speech, MT. Watkins hurried to the platform and, declared his intention to withdraw when the other candi- dates had given proper pledge. The Prohibition nominee asserted he was fighting for cause, and not for a party and when that party stands in the way, I will hurry to my national committee and say let's dissolve the party for all time.'"

Veterans Cannot
 Have Blankets

Houston, Texas, Sept. 22.-Confed- crate veterans who attend the an nual reunion of the U. c. V. in Hous- ton, October 6 to 8, must bring their own blankets, if they expect to be quartered by the city. This announce ment was made Tuesday by General N. B. Forrest.
 The war department has refused to loan cots and blankets for the usual camp, on the ground that resolution passed by the last congress author ized the loan of tents but failed to mention other equipment General Forrest explained.
 The reunion committee has decided to abandon the plan for camp, since cots and blankets for ten thousand veterans would cost tremendous sum. The veterans are to be billeted in schools and down town buildings, Efforts have been made for a week to rent blankets but without sue cess. The few firms able to rent 30,- 900 ask as high as $2 a piece for their use for four nights.
