Kansas City. Oct. 22-Hiring the Convention Ha11 here at his own ex- pense, Senator James A. Reed, demo- crat, of Missouri, last night declared himself against both Cox and Harding, asserting that the one represented a Wilson League of Nations and the other what he termed "a Root League" either of which he declared, will be inimical to the interests of the coun- try.

making his way down Wall street from
Broadway suddenly saw go up in front
of him q cone OF flame and smoke. 1t
came from the very center Of Wall and
Broad streets between the Morgan
building and the subtreasury. 1t
mounted so high That awnings on the
fifth floor of many skyscrapers were
burned to a cinder.
Then there was roar that was
heard far up Manhattan Island and
hundreds Of persons were hurled to
the pavement. Cries arose. and on
Wall street, paved with broken glass,
there gushed forth streams Of blood
more fit for battlefield than Ameri-
cas- financial center.
One man was seen to sit up. brush
his hand over his eyes and then top
pie over dead into the gutter. Near
him were found the bodies OF three
women and farther on more bodies ly-
ing side by side with the carcasses
OF horses.
Hardly had the roar Of the explo-
sion ended when a rush for the hnan-

of the city. Thousands came moved
only by curiosity. but there were 9TH
ers inspired by other motives-phy-

and soldiers ordered to protect.
