The unofficial estimate of dead at l.30
was 30.
According to Charles Matthews of
BROOKLYN, salesman of typewriter spe-
cialties, four persons, one woman, We're
killed while working in the bond depart
ment of j. P Morgan & Co.
Junius Spncer Morgan, son of j. P.
Morganand a member of the firm, said
that he was showered with broken glass,
but was not hurt. When the explosion
occurred, he said he was sitting in his
office on the first floor while other mem
bers of the firm We're upstairs.
Remains of the wrecked truck and
it's horses found at the scene of the ex-
plosion were examined by the police,
who questioned construction men as TO
whether the wagon resembled the type
construction men expressed firm belief
that the wreck was that of powder

The cause of the explosion was dy-
Mantle in the streets, Police Commits
sioner Enright said he had been in
formed by members of the Morgan
firm
The Broad street hospital announced
1T clock that it had treated nearly
200 people, mostly men, for injuries
due to the explosion. Hiram Davis.
broker for a Wall street lawyer, told
the police that the first blast came
from an automobile standing in the
middle of the midway between the sub
treasury and the Morgan building.
The damage to the Morgan building
alone was estimated at 100000. Minor
damage to hundreds of other buildings
would total at least 100000 more.
The 40-storv Equitable building was
rocked by the explosion as was all of
lower Manhattan
Officials of the company denied first
reports that a bomb had exploded in
the Morgan building. The list of cas-
ualties. mounting as excited word

It was reported, however. that
shortly before noon an automobile with
two men drew up in front of the Nor
gan offices and that when Morgan de-
tectives approached the machine one
man alighted and either accidentally
or purposely dropped what appeared to
be a bomb
The stock exchange was closed for
the day by the board of governors two
minutes after the explosion occurred.
Occupants of a skvscraper looking
down on Wall street told another YER
sion of the automobile incident. They
declared they saw car draw up and
the men leave it. The spectators adj
vanced the theory that the bomb. if
II was bomb, had been timed. Among
the bodies were those of three girls
terribly mutilated.

Unofficial reports had 30 dead. The
