HACKENSACK, N. j.,
FURNISHES CLUE
Man Who ShOd Horse Attached tt
Alleged bomb Wagon Found

IIackcnsack. y. J., Sept. 17.--Idantity of
the blacksmith who shod the horse found
dead near the scene of yesterdays ex-
plosion in New York's financial district
is known to the department of justice,
according to n statement made here to-
night by William NJ. Mead. chief In the
office Of J. p. Morgan & Co. This black
smith, he added. claims to know the man
who owns the animal.
We feel that the plot was premedi-
tatcd," declared Mr.. Mead, land that a
deliberate attempt was made 10 destroy
the building of ]. =. Morgan e. Co. and
to kill and injure as many people as pos
sible. The most likely story of the ex-
ploson is that a red wagon drawn by a
horse stopped at the left side of the
curb facing east on Wall street and
directly opposite the center of the Nor
gan building. A man most likely then
set large bomb believed enclosed in
the wagon to explode at u O'Clock noon
and then walked away.
1--WE have found parts of the wagon
and shoes of the horse. These shoes are
expected to aid materially In solving the
mystery Of the tragedy. for we have
found the blacksmith who shod the horse
and who claims to know the man who
owns the animal.
"a peculiar incident Of the whole af-
fair" added Mr. Mead. "is that a letter
was received on the 18th, the day before
the explosion warming every one to stay
way from Wall street between two ard
three O'Clock, on ne day of the 18th.
This letter came from Buffalo and was
sent by lawyer who was believed to
have been in the employ of a prominent
foreign concern"

TO TRY OUT "MOON
GOING" ROCKET SOON

Worcester, Mass. Sept 20.-Professor
Robert II. Goddard. inventor of the
moon-going' rocket, announces that
within month If all conditions con-
tinue to be favorable, his first expert
mental rocket will make its ascent. DR..
Goddard In an interview said:
THE present tests are being made
for the purpose Of demonstrating that
successive charges can be fired in this
way In an apparatus that is practicable.
No attempt is being made to obtain n
great altitude, to make the proportion
of powder large. or to construct large
apparatus, for the simple reason that
the funds available from the Smith
sonihn institution will permit the COM
pletion or only small model of about
six pounds weight with a capacity of
about % charges. with no attempt to
attain great lghtncss of construction.
THE important point is that the
demonstration of such a device as this
VIII remove the possibility of any
doubt as to the practicabilty OF the
method and also as to the possibility of
attaining as great altitude as can be
desired This is, of course, understood
by those who have been financing the
work.
The chief reason why the work is
proceeding slowly Is the lack of ade-
quate support"

neither received nor expected during the
day at any other buildings under con-
structlon in the immediate vicinity, &C
cording TO the fire commissioner who said
canvass had been made of all con-
struction work in the neighborhood.
Frank Francisco, one Of the inves-
tigators. of the department Of justice,
called attention tonight to the fact
that the explosion occurred just one
day after the last members of the red
squad" of the department were dis
banded. This squad had been active
in running down bomb plots since
early in the war. and the last forty
members were taken from that work
yesterday Mr.. Francisco said.

THREE SOCIALISTS
AGAIN EXPELLED
N. Y. Assembly Once More
Votes to Gust Waldman, Claes-
sons and SOlOmOn-Dewitt and
Orr Are Reinstated but Resign

Albany. n. Y, Sept. 2l.-The Assembly
of the New York State Legislature to-
. night by vote of 90 to 45 in eacn case
expelled three of the five Socialist mem
bers-Louis Waldman and August Claes-
sens Of New York and Charles Solomon
of kings-and voted 81 to 4S to permit
/ Samuel A. Dewitt and Samuel Orr.
! Socialist members from the Bronx, 10
retain their seats. The two last named
however. after vote to reinstate Wald-
man, had been lost 81 to 81, took the floor
! in turn and verbally rendered their
designations.
The proceedings tonight were not un-
like those that occupied virtually all of
March 81 and into the early morning Of
April l. except that to-night the dramatic
situations and excitement that attended
the first custer were lacking.
The resolution calling for the expulsion
! OF the five Socialists was introduced yes.
terday by Colonel Ransom II. Gillet.
Republican, of Columbia county, and to.
, day the judiciary committee, to which E
was referred, reported the resolution bach
to the House for consideration without
! recommendations During the day move
on the part Of several assemblymen re-
suited in Assemblyman Guviller Demo
crat, of New York, presenting three
amendments which provided for the un.
seating of Wa.dman. Claessens and
Solomon. Later Assemblyman Wells. Re-
publican, of Kings, offered two additions
amendments to provide for the unseatins
of Orr and Dewitt.
| The debate was inaugurated by As
semblyman Cuvillier at 2:40 O'Clock and
was concluded at 40 just five hours later
| when the voting began. Colonel Gllett
withdrew his original resolution so that
! the Assembly might vote finally on the
/ five amendments separately.
| The five socialists took part In the de-
bate and each of them declared that he
| had come to the extraordinary session to
serve the people in helping to solve or
remedy the housing situation and not
I to make apologies or defense of the So
calist party or because they were Social
| lists. They characterized the proceedings
/ as un-American.
Some of the members who had expressed
in their arguments the opinion that Wald-
| man. Claessens and Solomon should be
expelled because it was illegal that they
! had been found personally to be guilty
of disoyalty. brought from Orr and De-
| Witt the declaration that they would not
stand for any compromise. They declared
that if the three Were guilty. all five were
guilty and that if the Assembly expelled
/ Waldman. Claessens and Solomon it must
expel them.
| Claessens declared that they had taker
their cases to the people, who were their
judges and juries. and said IF you want
another appeal. go ahead" He predicted
that all five would be reelected again
and that other Socialists would continue
to be elected to the Assembly until event
ualy the party would have n majority i'll
the lower house of the Legislature.

Said There Would Be Catas.
trOphe in Wall Street

New York. Sept. 1e. (By the Asso-
ciated Press).--A letter giving warn
Ing of to-day's explosion in Wall
Street was dropped Wednesday morn
ing 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 en-
ploy of the commission, was torn in
to small pieces soon after 1t was read
and dropped into q waste basket
To-day, after the explosion. these
bits of paper were taken from the bas-
ket, pasted together and turned over
to the police. The letter, which was
addressed 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 by
advising Maurice Casenave, minister
plenipotentiary. and his assistants OF
the fact that catastrophe would oc-
cur in Wall street about 230 o'clock
No date was mentioned. The writer
suggested that Lieutenant Arnaud ad-
wise Minister Casanave to have the Of
fices Of the commission closed and un-
occupied at TWO CLOCK so tnat tne
lives of the office staff might be
spared. The letter also mentioned be-
tween "2 and 4 o'clock daylight time
as the probable hour for the catas-
trophe.
1t was intimatcd in the letter that
some people had grievances and wanted
to take revenge" Lieutenant Arnaud
read the letter several times. Feeling as
sured that 1t was written by an alarm
list and should not be taken seriously. he
tore 1t up and threw it in a waste pape!
basket. He gave no further thought to
the letter until after the explosion to-
day, when he rushed into the office, en-
tied the contents Of the waste paper basket
In a heap on his desk. sorted the bits OF
the letter. pieced them together and
turned them over to the police.
Efforts to learn whether the letter bore
n signature proved futile.
Soon after the letter had been handed
to the police ii was learned that detec-
tives had been sent to an address in West
92nd street to seek a man formerly In the
employ Of the French commission. 1t was
said that-he had left the service of the
French government on September ], 1919
The writer of the letter. the police be-
lieve. was familiar with all plans for the
explosion and would be able to point out
the responsible parties.

mission, received the attention of poi-
ice and federal authorities to-day, al
though apparently little credence Ia
placed in the theory that he has any
direct knowledge of the explosion Chief
Flynn of the department of justice ex-
pressed the belief he was simply a
