pital from burns. He is included in
the list of thirty-three dead.
On the assumption that the Wall
Street explosion was the beginning
of a wave Of Red terrorism, public
officials have been warned to en-
ploy bodyguards. Picked men from
the police department are guarding
the homes of public officials.
Wall and Broad streets, the "fi-
nancial capital of the world" is like
an armed camp, with soldiers, police
men, and special armed guards on
duty. The stock exchange building
and the great banks in the Wall
Street district are picketed. A new
police "dead line" has been estab-
lished. Every person who crosses
it is closely scrutinized, as well as
every vehicle.
A general police alarm has been
sent out for missing or stolen one
horse trucks, such as that in which
the time bomb was carried to the
Morgan Bank. The broken parts OF
the wagon, which was demolished by
the detonation, have ben pieced to-
gether as we'll as possible, and the
police are now trying to find the
owner Of it.
That the plotters have an efficient
organization with secret sources of
information is indicated by the fact
that the explosion occurred just
twenty-four hours after the special
bomb squad operatives of the police
department were withdrawn from
the financial district.
CHECK UP ANARCHISTS.
Lists of all the known dangerous
anarchists in the United States are
being carefully checked over by the
Government sleuths. The Federal
end of the investigation is directed
by William J. Flynn, head of the
United States Secret Service, who is
on the ground in person.
Police Commissioner Enright has
divided the police investigation
along the following lines:
Tracing the writer Of the
warning letters which are now in
partment;
2-Searching for the owner of
the one-horse wagon in. which the
bomb was carried to Wall street;
3-Hunting for an automobile
in which the men who drove the
wagon are said to have fled a few
moments before the explosion;
4-Tracing the source Of the
clock which was used to set off
the bomb at one minute after IL
o'clock, Thursday noon;
5-Hunting for the source OF
the "T. N. T." or other explosive
that was used in the construction
of the Internal machine;
6-Ascertaining where the bomb
was constructed and how many
persons were involved in the con-
spiracy.
LETTER OF WARNING.
The warning letter sent to
Lieutenant Arnaud did not arrive
through the mails. 1t was dropped
through the slot in the door of the
commissions offices at 65 Broadway
on Wednesday morning. The letter
was written with pen and ink and
opened with the word Greetings. !"
1t was contained in a small white
envelope. Lieutenant Arnaud did
nOI ldht Lus WdTuulk SeT1Oubly. AL
ter reading it he tore the letter into
bits, dropped It into a waste paper
basket, and forgot all about it-until
after the Wall street district was
rocked by the most ghastly explo-
sion in New York's history. Then he
secured the tatters, pasted them to-
Eether. and gave them to the
pGEce.
The letter intimated that Ger
tain persons who had grievances"
would get revenge by setting off
high power bomb between o'clock
and 2:30. but the exact date Of the
explosion was not given. The writer
said he had the kindest feelings for
France and for the members Of the
French High Commission. which ac-
counted for his warning He sug-
gested that the commissions Of
fees he closed and that the officials
