him straight upwards and out Of

no report of the explosion. except
that telegram was received asking
that keck be taken to Norfolk in the

Bomb Theory Secuted
By Grand Island Man
Who Saw Explosion

Grand Island, Neb., Sept. 20
Especial legram.)-Lieut. Floyd
Thompson, head OF the Grand Island
Aero company, until recently, and
SON of WS H. Thompson, national
democratic committeeman, returned
today from New York.
He was in conference with presi-
dent c. M. Keyes of the Curtis COM
pany in New York, ON the 10th
floor Of the 26-story building at 90
Broad street at the time of the. ex-
plosion last Thursday. The moment
the window of the room was shat
tered, they saw debris flying up
past the opening. After IS seconds,
some of it fell straight down again,
but much of it went over the top
and landed on the roof of the Singer
building, a block and half away.
Thompson Immediately descended to
the street, where there was seeth-
ing panic. =.
Thompson ridicules the idea that
the explosion was that of bomb,
on the ground tffat no single bomb
has ever been invented that could
contain so much pentup force. Di-
agonally across the way from the
Morgan building, he declares, the
work. of Nexcavating for a new sky
scraper is in progress, and many
high powered explosives have been
used in blasting. He credits the
theory, that Dupont wagon, laden
with high explosives, was carrying a
delivery for the next nights blast
ing when the entire load exploded.

Solons May Again
-
p. Expel Socialists
Special Session Of New York
Legislature May Repeat
Action of Last April.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 20.-Interest
in the housing shortage throughout
the state, which the legislature has
been called to consider in special
session tonight, was subordinated at
the, capitol today to a general dis
cussion Of what action, if any, the
assembly would take regarding the
five expelled socialists, reelected at
special elections last week to fill
their own vacancies.
The socialists, Louis Waldman,
and August Claessens of New York,
Samuel A. Dewitt and Samuel Orr
of the Bronx and Charles Solomon
of Kings, were found guilty of
charges of disloyalty last April by
an assembly committee.
Some members Of the assembly
who voted to unseat the socialists
have let it be known that they have
rot changed their views, notwith-
standing the reelection of the quin-
tet. Some of them, it is said, are
prepared to offer resolutions tonight
to deny again the socialists their
seats just as congress did in the case
of Victor L. Berger.
1t would be different propoNtion,
they point out, had the socialist
party elected other men to fill the
vacancies.
New York, Sept. 10.-Officials of
the board of elections declared that
no certificates of election had been
issued to the five socialist assembly,
men, who were ousted by the legis-
lature last winter, and were reported
to have taken the oath of office in

elected in Thursdays special cleo

Victim Of Murder
GUS Robbers. =

The body of man found in the
Missouri river last night near Glib
son, was identified yesterday by
police as. that of James S. King,
farmer, Tekamah,' Neb.
Identification was made possible
through the discovery Of a water
soaked card from the Arcade hotel,
Thirteenth and Douglas streets. in
the pocket of the overalls III which
the decomposed body was attired
when found on a sand bar in the
river at Gibson.
Police advance the theory King

that he has been missing from the
hotel since August Is. Kings eff
fects were found in his room at the
hotel. The key to his room was in
one of the pockets of the overalls.

Had Large Sum on Him.
King was known to have large
amount of money ON him when he
left the hotel early in the morning
August Is, police say. \
He, did not return to the hotel
He Was dressed in good clothes
when he disappeared. y
These two facts, coupled with the
fact that the body was found dressed
in overalls and the key and card
were left in the pockets, lead police
to advance the theory that King was
lured to lonely spot. put up a fight
to protect his none and was killed
by the robbers, who took his money
and threw the body in the river to
cover up their Chine.
Red hair on the head of the body
aided police in their identification.

Less Accidents
Since Launching
OF Safety Drive
Judge Foster Makes Recon-.
mendation at C. of C.. Meet
ing for Traffic Regulation
Mentions Signals.

Fewer automobile accidents have
occurred since the campaign of pub
iicity and law enforcement began,
Police Judge Charles E. Foster told
the traffic regulation committee,
which met in the Chamber of Com
inerce at noon Monday. Public sup
port of the movement for safety in
the streets is most valuable asset
to the authorities, he declared. Judge
Foster has recently sent many care
less and intoxicated drivers to jail.
Suggestions for motor traffic regu-
lation, gained from observation on
trips to other cities, were made by
Judge Foster. One great need IS for
a system of signals by which drivers
can indicate turn to the right or a
stop, he said. In Los Angeles the
drivers crook their arm at the elbow
to indicate right-hand turn.
Should Show More Courtesy.
~ would like to see drivers more
courteous" he said. mo one should
depend on the pedestrians being fa-
uli1iar with all the rules of the road.
Cars should always slow down when
children are playing near the curb
or in. the street, for they have not
the wisdom Of an adult. The man
who has just bought a new car has
no right fo take it on a. busy street
until he is thoroughly able to con-
troll it. There should be some sys-
tenn Of examining drivers"
Night classes for truck drivers
were advocated by the judge. He
called attention of the business men
to the fact that whistles on trucks
are forbidden by law. The new safe
ty zones were praised, but it was
said that many motorists get the
impression that they can create imag-
mary safety zones of their own in
the outlying districts and pass street
cars taking on or letting off passen-
gers.
Use of DINNERS Necessary.
No automobile lens is made that
can be satisfactorily used with bright
lights, the committee was told. The
compulsory use Of DINNERS is nee.
essary, Judge Foster believes.
For the comfort of motor tourists,
lie advocated more places near the
center of the city for them to camp.
No action was taken on the recon-
Inendations of the judge. The COM
rnittee has under way an intensive
campaign to end reckless driving,
and will take action later.

Ford car driven by Marion Darnell
who was makine,a turn at the print
ing office corner, knocking it to

ly. He acknowledged the fault as
his, we understand, agreed TO pay
part of the damage. He was fined
five dollars for speeding. After the
accident Mr.. Shrader drove on to-
ward the White. At Smiths, about

another car standing on the right
