WITHOUT WARNING

The noon hour had struck and an
endless steam of Office workers had
just started pouring into the streets
from buildings in the neighborhood.
Suddenly a cloud of yellowish. black
smoke and a piercing jet of flame
leaped from the street outside the
Morgan Offices. Then came deafcn-
ing blast. A moment later scores of
men, women and children were lying
PROSTATE on the ground and the
streets were covered with debris from
thousands of broken windows and the
torn facades of adjacent buildings.
Two minutes, later the stock and curb
exchanges, the financial pulse Of the
world. had closed. Panic and confu-
sion regned in the heart of New
Works financial districts.
People in Panic
Thousands of clerks and steno-
graphers, many of them girls, fed in
terror from adjoining structures.
Scores tainted. fell and We're rampled
in the rush. Meanwhile, the noise of
the explosion which was heard
throughout Lower Manhattan and
across the river in Brooklyn. brought
thousands of the curious to the scene.
The few police on duty in the district
were unable to cope with the crowds
and hurried call for police reserves

that an attempt might be made to rob
the building. all the windows of which
were broken. requested assistance of
the military authorities at Governors
Island and a company of soldiers was
sent to guard the structure. Hurry
calls also were sent to all hospitals
in the down town section of New York
and scores of ambulances soon were
speeding through the narrow streets.
Dressing stations were established in
the lohbies of buildings nearby where
the less seriously injured were given
immediate treatment
Police Say Bomb
Evidence tending to confirm the
theory that the explosion was caused
by bomb or some other Internal
machine came from several sources.
Chief Police Inspector Lahey re-
ported late today that he had found
evidence to justify the conclusion that
the explosion was caused by a huge
bomb loaded with T. y. T.-trinitrol-
oluol-reinforced with iron slugs
made from window weight bars.
Pieces of these slugs were found in
several adjacent structures. This type
of weight bars. a close inspection by
police and department of Justice
agents disclosed, is not used in any
building within several hundred feet
from the scene of the explosion.
