New York, Sept. 1S.-Investigatlon of the explosion in Wall street Thursday noon which cost 35 lives and did property damage exceeding $1 ,O00, ,O00 broadly divided itself to- night into two separate channels.
 Firm in their belief that the disas- ter was caused by time bomb planted by band of anarchists, who were also implicated in the mail bomb plots in June, 1919, department of justice investigators, headed by At torney General Palmer and William '. Flynn, chief of the departments bureau of investigation have cen tered their efforts in seeking the identity of the person or persons who deposited five radical circulars in mail box near the secene just a few minutes before the explosion.
 These circulars, printed on cheap paper and signed American Anar- chists Fighters" threatened "sure death for all of you" unless the "po- litical prisoners" were freed. They bear . striking likeness, Chief Flynn pointed out, to those found in June, 1919. Police investigators were con- centrating their attention on try ing to establish the identity of the driver of the dilapidated wagon, which was abandoned near the J. P. s Morgan and company bank few min utes before the explosion.
 Weighed 800 Pounds. kn ,r~1s.o ! who have pieced together metal frag- ments believed to have been part of the bomb, declared the missile appar- ently weighed about 500 pounds, two hundred of which was explosive.
 Department of justice agents late today arrested an Italian stowaway on the outgoing steamship Cedric on suspicion, but he was later releas- ed, agents stating he had satisfac- t0rily established his innocence. APo- l5ceA dstectiyes also questioned, a for eign journalist late today but he, too, was later released.
 KY The only man being detained in connection with the explosion is Ed win Fischer, lawyer and former em- ploye of the French high commission here, who sent post card warnings If the disaster to friends in the fin- Ancial district. He was turned ov- er to the police at Hamilton, Ontario, yesterday by his brother in law, Rob sert Pope, who said he was acting queerly. Fischer was later adjudg- ed mentally incompetent by lunacy st6mmission and temporarily confin- .sd to Hamilton jail
 Local police investigators have been sent to question him and, if he 5has direct knowledge of the explo- tion, to bring him back to New York lf possible, Fischer claims to have received notice of the impending dis aster by mental telepathy." Chief Flynn expressed the opinion that Fischer is in no way connected with the explosion itself
 One blacksmith told the police he might throw light on the identity of { the horse and it's owner. At noon he ' went to look at the badly dismemb- erfed carcass, but when he left the police said there was nothing new : to report
 Heads of the detective bureaus as- signed to the case conferred late to- day with Chief Inspector William Le- hey, but apparently this conference added nothing to the day's develop ment.
