NO CLUE TO AUTHUR
Continued from page I

Although the threatened bombing Of
the United States Custom House did not
come to pass, Bowling Green WAS the
scene Of the only excitement Of the day.
According TO the anonymous post card
received by William II. Edwards, collector
of internal revenue, on Monday, the Gus
tom House WAS 20 have been attacked at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Between noon and o'clock, thousands
Of men and women, boys and girls flocked
into the open spaces to the north and west
of the Custom House to be on hand when
the blow-up took place. The nearby Gle
waited structures were thronged. The ad-
jacent office building roofs were crowded.
Every window was peoplcd. Had there
been an explosion the police would not
have had to grope blindly for witnesses, as
they are cropping i'm the Wall street case.
The workmen's story served To revive
an early theory that the explosion may
not have been due To n bomb plot but 10
. collision between an automobile and n
wagon filled with explosives.
Tho workmen told reporters that CON
tractors working in the financial district,
when in need of explosives, frequently sent
any kind of wagon for them, without
going to the trouble of obtaining per
nit for their transfer They expressed
the opinion that blasting powder and
not INT or dynamite was the explosive
that killed nearly two score and injured
hundreds.
Warning that the Brooklyn postofTice
should be cleared at "12.15 a. IN. Satur-
day." was received there today on post
card. Ii was characterized as "Ioke"
by Collector of Internal Revenue b. NJ
Gardner. but he Immediately instituted
precautionary measures 20 guatd the
structure.
The message signed TINT read:
Clear the building at 1915 a. IN. Satur-
day for me. Thank you"
Boston. Sept. 22.-Thc entrances 10

guard today after receipt of second
threatening communication 10y Mayer

here from New York We will get you, !"
the letter read. The signature was
"HWTX." The letter WINS mailed in the
CharIestown district Yesterday. Mayor
Peters said he was inclined tn regard
both the communication Of today and the
one received yesterday s the work OF
jokers.
Trenton. N j.. Sept. %. Following .
threat mailed to the municipal building
here To bomb it, plainclothes men have
been detailed to guard the place. The
threat, written in crude hand, said:
''If you and the real estate dealcrs
don't let us poor people have empty
houses we Will blow you all to he'll. =
1t was believed that generally tho
threat WAS the work of practical iokers.

POLES MEET REDS
TO DISCUSS PEACE
American and Other Foreign Rep
rcscntatives Attend Riga
Conference.
nv Associated Press to Eypry Evening

by Associated Press to Evrry Evening
Riga. Sept. 21.--Captain Evan r.:
Young, the American Commissioner In
the Baltic States and Colonel Holiday, tho
American Military Attache, attended the
opening this afternoon Of the Russo
Polish peace conference M guests Of the
Letvian government They satin special
box. in which were also the French and
Italian Commissioners and the German
Charge d'Affaires.
Welcoming the delegates, M. Meirm-
stitch expressed hi. belief that peace would
soon crown the labors Of the conference
"a peace which will be solid peace based
on the principles of justice and true
democracy"
"Only these principles, he added,
"can effect and maintain peace. 1t can
never be lasting unless based upon re-
spect for the free national rights OF gov
ernments."
M. Dombski, head Of the Polish dele
cation, expressed heartiest appreciation
Of Letvias hospitality, saying: Even
if peace is not effected, the Polish dele
gates will always remain under great
obligations TO Letvia.
M. JofTe, the Russian Soviet leader,
responded saying that he was confident
peace would be arranged.
A short adjournment was then taken
to inspect the credentials OF the dele
cations and to ascertain whether they were
credited with plcnipotentiary powers
The indicated refusal Of Soviet Rus
sia to disarm, as the Poles are expected
to demand, seems likely to be the chief
stumbling block TO peace. The Bolshe-
visit delegation, il is forecast, viii insist
n~l with
ception of a small defensive force, as
Poland would be at peace with the world
when she signed an armistice with the
Moscow government, the Soviet rcprcscn-
tativcs point out.
The Bolshevild, however, insist That
thev are at war with General Wrangel.
France and the United States. which
makes it imperative, they declare, that
they maintain war footing. Great
Britain is omitted from this classifica-
tion by the Russians. as it appears they
no longer consider themselves as at war
with her.
The presence Of the American torpedo
boat destroyer Broome in the harbor of
Riga has caused the Soviet delegates To
make some inquiries from the Lctvlan
government. Tho Soviet representatives
suggested that the peace treaty with
Letvia forbade the use Of territorial
waters by ships of countries fighting
Soviet Russia, but as no war actually
has been declared between the United
States and Soviet Russia the Letvian
officials explained that the hospitality
OF Lctvian ports had been offered 10 the
American ships in the Baltic and also to
British warships.
There are two British torpedoboat dc.
strovers and cruisers in the harbor and
one Polish warship.
