Feueral investigators summoned

tention on these wrecks.
Accident Theory Secuted.
Some advanced the theory snas
the automobile had collided with q
powder wagon, and the Dupont com
pany was asked immediately to find
out whether any OF its vehicles had
been in the Vicinity at the time,
This was done after construction
men had expressed belief that the
truckt was Of the type used in de-
livering explosives.
Other Investigators sought to run
down reports that a bomb had been
exploded in front Of the Morgan
building.
Assistant District Attorney Tally,
after visiting the scene, announced
his belief that the explosion could
not have been due to an accident.
He announced also that his staff
would question all witnesses Of the
explosion. He said one thing that
led him to the conspiracy theory
was the time Of the explosion. This
was fixed by a clock in the sub
treasury building which stopped at
1901. s
THE factors that lead me to this
belief" said Mr.. Tally, ARE that
the time OF the explosion was at
12:o1 p. M. when probably the
greatest damage could have been
done and the location OF the explo-
sion was midway between the Nor
gan offices and the new United
States treasury building
working ON the conspiracy the
ory the police picked up all rem
nants of the wrecked automobile
and wagon, even going so far as to
remove the shoes from dead
horse In order to establish the iden-
tity OF the vehicles and their own
ers.
The financial district was roped
off and placed under heavy guard
while the work OF identifying VIC
tins was under way. Some bodies
were almost beyond Identification.
Young Morgan Hurt.
Julius Spencer Morgan, son OF J.
p. Morgan, and a member OF the
firm. was badly cut by flying glass,
| Officials of the company denied
first reports that bomb had ex-
ploded in the Morgan building.
1t was equally impossible an
hour after the explosion occurred
to determine either its exact nature
or location, for spectators were held
back by the police.
It was reported. however, that
shortly before noon an automobile
with two men drew up in front OF
the Morgan offices and that when
Morgan detectives approached the
machine one man alighted and
either accidentally or purposeiy
dropped what appeared to be a
bomb.
Occupants of a skyscraper look
ing down on Wall street told an
other version of the automobile
story. They declared they bad
seen the car draw up and the men
leave it. These spectators advanced
the theory that the bomb--if 1t was
bomb-had been timed.
This version differed from the
first, as regards the two passengers
and their chauffeur. The first story

was reached upon the advice of his
physicians, according to the Echo
De Paris. The president reached
a decision in the matter several
days ago, and since that time has
seemed to be much relieved over
the prospect of release from the
burdens of public life. He rambled
through Rambouillet park with his
wife and children yesterday, the
newspaper says, and the fact that
he is soon to return to private life
seems to have given him renewed
hope and confidence.
'The latest chapter in the life Of
M. Deschanel," says the newspaper,
reads like an act from a Shake,
spearan drama, A few mornings
ago he was found walking toward
a lake in the park where his valet
was fishing, and 1t seemed that nc
was drawn toward the water by
some mysterious force. He was led
back to his apartments and physi-
clans were hastily summoned, but
they found no serious symptoms
had made their appearances.

It was expected the resignation
would be offered verbally to ths

parliament at a moment chosen BY
Premier Millerand, the presiden
and the cabinet.
This afternoon it was officially
announced that the cabinet woult
meet tomorrow morning to discus
the situation created by the healti
of the president.
