were afraid that this sentiment was not strong enough to insure the state to Harding, much less to cause the re-elec- tion of Watson. But lately they have grown confident. One event that gave them confidence was the registration. This was strong in republican wards and sections and weak in democratic localt- ties. Moreover, the registration Ur. women was especially strong in repup- lican sections. In some places it even ex- eeeded that of the men. From this the party leaders conclude that the repuo-, lican women are active and interested and that the democratic women are in different Of course the republican women may intend to vote very inde- pendently. They may be moved by an appeal for the League of Nations, but the Indiana politicians think otherwise.
 settled conviction exists among the republicans, at least, that the women this year are going to prove intensely partisan, even more partisan than the men, and that the large registration means a greatly enhanced republican vote
 Certain polls have also been taken by the republicans which are said to have been encouraging, but the truth IS that Indiana is a battle-ground and glad of it. The senatorship is in doubt. On the presidency, the state nclines to Har- ding, but may be changed if Cox can start a swing toward himself.

 Fire Chief Kenlon and officers from the bureau of combustibles also eX- pressed the belief the explosion was caused by bomb after examining fragments of metal found in the street n front of the Morgan offices. pr. William F. Doyle, chief of the bu- reau of combustibles, pointed out that the small hole found in the street near the Morgan offices and the widely scattered scars on the facades on nearby buildings also indicated the blast was caused by a bomb rather than an explosion of a quantity Of dynamite or other explosives.

 Five members of the Morgan firm were in the building at the time of the accident Thomas w. Lamont, Dwight w. Morrow, Elliot C.

These preparations were made several hours before Governor Kilby's order calling out the local companies was received.
 When the governors order was re- ceived every member of the four com panies was in full uniform and was ready to go at moments notice.
 Major Baldwin stated ke did not be- leve that the companies would be or dered to leave before daylight, but it Is understood that two special trains have been kept in waiting in case of an emer- gency at the Terminal station since the early part of last night.

HUNDREDS IN BUILDING

There were between 400 and 500 em- ployes in the Morgan building at the time of the accident.
 A letter giving warning of today's explosion was dropped Wedn ssday morning through the mail slot of door in one of the offices of the French high commission at 65 Broadway, it became known tonight. This letter apparently written by a man formerly in the employ of the commission, was
 torn into small pieces soon after it was
 read and dropped into a waste basket
 Today. after the explosion, these bits of paper were taken from the basket, pasted together and turned over to the
 police. The letter, which was ad
 dressed to Lieutenant Arnaud, who is
 attached to the commission, began
 with the word: Greetings" The writer
 said he thought he was rendering a
 service to the French commission Ly
 advising Maurice Casenave, minister
 plenipotentiary, and his assistants of
 the fact that catastrophe would oc- cur in Wall street about 2:S0 o'clock.
 No date was mentioned
 !. The writer suggested that Lieuten-
 ants Arnaud advise Minister Casenave
 to Have the offices of the commission closed and unoccupied at 2 o'clock, so that the lives or the OIllCe Sldll illl6 1t be spared. The letter also mentioned
 "between and 4 o'clock daylight time,D as the probable hour for the ca |tastrophe.
 It was intimated in the letter several times. Feeling assured it had been written by an alarmist and should not be taken seriously, he tore it up and threw it in waste paper basket. He gave no further thought to the letter until after the explosion today, when he rushed into the office, emptied the en- tents of the basket in heap on his desk, sorted the bits of the letter, Ipieced them together and turned them over to the police.
 Efforts to learn whether the letter bore a signature proved futile. Soon after the letter had been handed to the police. it was learned that de- tectives had been sent to an address in West Ninety y-second street of a per son formely in the employ of the the service of the French government French commission. It was said he left September l, 1919.
 The writer of the letter, the police believe, was familiar with all plans for the explosion, and would be able to point out the responsible parties.

WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur 1t Darkens So
Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which. is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when youth
full appearance is of the greatest ad-
vantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition Of
other ingredients called Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound. 1t is very
popular because nobody can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
