By Associated Press

New York, September 23.-After a week had passed without investigators being able to solve the mystery of the Wall street explosion, they were pre- sented today with another mystery whe placed a package of dynamite in the Reid avenue elevated station in Brooklyn this morning?
 The package was found by police man doing strike duty on the Fulton street line, which is operated by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. He soaked it in bucket of water and then carried it to his headquarters in Brooklyn. Later it was taken to 3 laboratory in Manhattan for analysis.
 Accounts differ as to whether a splutter fuse was attached. Some of the officials reported that Patrolman SantelE, who found it, stamped out a fuse,
 At the laboratory where the package was taken, it was said, there had been found two pipe cleaners impregnated with nitrate. These pipe cleaners, it was said. could have served as fuses but it had not been established wheth- CT either had been lighted. Authori- ties seemed to agree that no percussion caps had been found.
 HORSE TAG IDENTIFIED
 Meanwhile detectives Investigating the Wall street explosion reported that through the health department they had been able to identify the tag found near the horse attached to te death cart which is believed to have been the center of the blast.
 This tag, it was learned, had been issued in 1913 to the Reid Ice Cream Company of Brooklyn to certify that one of its horses was not afflicted with glanders, but since then the horse had been sold three times. The name of the latest owner, if known, was not made public.
 Chief William J. Flynn of the bu- reau of investigation Of the depart ment of justice had this to say of the latest clue:
 Tt looks good but like any clue, it may blow up at any time"
 The police, too, repressed any ex- ultation they may have felt in running down the identity of the tag. While satisfied as to the identity of the bit of metal, they were not so certain that, after all they had established
 
 them that the animal itself still was alive and was now hauling a wag on al tBS Fulton fish market. p3sectiyes explained that the tag might easily have been transferred from one horse to another but that they hoped to es- tablish through the shoes found on the dead animal whether it was it for which the tag had been issued.
 MORE BOMB SCARES
 In the meantime, in addition to the discovery of the bomb. the vicinity was subjected to more bomb scares to- day. Anonymous warning that Grand Central station would be blown up at D. m caused detectives to be rushed to the terminal and also to the Penn sylvania station and the postoffice. Nothing happened.
 In Brooklyn, seizure of rickety buggy by federal authorities caused a little excitement because of the almost prehistoric vehicle that figured in the Wall street blow-up. The buggy, however. was found to contain twelve bottles of whisky and not bombs. The liquor was seized and the driver ar rested.
 In Bogota, N. J., two dozen suspicious looking tubes were found in a freight car. An investigation was started to determine whether they were bombs or bomb castings.
 The grand jury Investigating the ex- plosion of last Thursday continued to- day to hear witnesses.
 A curious incident in connection with the explosion came to light tonight when 2 representative of the Pennsyl- vania railroad appeared at police heao- quarters with part of a window weight found on the companys ferryboat, Washington, when it lay at its slip at the foot of Cortlandt street. many blocks from the explosion. To reacd the boat it had to hurdle many SKY, scrapers.
