NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-A small army of Federal agents, assisted by state and city authorities, today was engaged in running down clews in connection with yesterdays bomb outrage in Wall Street.
 Discovery of parts of clockwork and other metal fragments Of an internal machine in the wreekage of J. P Morgan and Company's of fees where the blast was set off made it certain that the disaster had been carefully planned and skill fully executed under the very noses of the strong police guard always on duty in the financial district
 Six expert chemists attached to the Federal Bureau of Mines ar rived here today to aid in recon struction of the metal fragments of the bomb or internal machine.
 The death list today totaled thirty-six but many of the two hun dred and more injured cannot re- cover, according to hospital reports More bodies may be found in the wreckage although workers, busy since late yesterday in cleaning up the blood spotches on pavements and walls and straightcning the twisted steel girders of office build ings in the vicinity, late this after noon had nearly restored the scene of demolition to something of it's normal appearance.
 Heavy Guard Maintained
 The entire financial district today continues under special police and military guard. with especial atten- tion to the Federal Reserve Bank and United States Sub-Treasury di- rectly across the street from the Morgan building. The scene of the tragedy this afternoon was still roped off to exclude the thousands of curious but the stock exchange and other financial institutions, which suspended business yesterday after the blast were preparing to resume.
 After checking reports of lost se- curities as a result of the explosion, stock exchange officials this after noon said several packages valued at nearly half a million dollars. are missing.
 Arrests Believed Near.
 Arrest of extremists suspended of the outrage was brought materially closed today when two brokers of unquestioned repute stated that they had received postal cards warn ing them not to be in Wall Street on Wednesday. The fact that the explosion did not occur until Thurs day morning is taken to mean that the execution of the plotters plans was delayed a few hours
 Edward P. Fischer, former em- ploye of the French High CoHmis- sion, has been detained at Hamil- ton, Ontario, charged with sending the warnings and will be brought to New York to testify before the grand jury.
 Joseph T. O'Neill also will testify before the Grand Jury, he having told the police that ne received a warning on September 9 to ''keep out of Wall Street until after Sep tember 16."

GREENE COUNTY,
WANTS LAKE SAVED
State Drainage Project at Goose Lake
Arouses ire of Citizens OF Greene
County-Residents Feel That Selfish
Interests Seek to Have the Lake
Drained.

Jefferson. Jan. q. Citizens of
Greene county are becoming aroused
over the drainage of Goose Lake, the
county's only remaining body of Wa
ter. now that the work of drainage is
under way.
Thru the action of last years legis-
lature, permission was given to drain
the lake that it might be converted
into tillable land. altho there seems
to have been little knowledge Of the
proposed drainage locally. Recently
strong sentiment has cropped out
against the disappearance OF the lake.
as the citizens Of Greene county EVIL
IDENTIFY did not realize that their only
lake was being taken from them.
The arguments advanced in favor of
retaining the lake are that 1t is the
only breeding place for wild fowl in
the county; that the lake affords good
fishing, and that 1t Is not shallow OF
dry during part Of the summer. Local
residents feel that as dowas lake sur
face Is already small. every effort
should be made TO save what is lett.
They feel that the argument advanced
for drainage-that the blackbirds were
making the lake their home and des-
troying the corn crop-is unfounded,
as last year showed a large yield of
corn for Greene county.
Ex-service men are resentful as
they say the drainage action was
commenced while they were unable
to express their views on the subject
and they are practically unanimous
against the drainage project.
The Iowa Conservation Association
has taken up the battle for preserva-
ton of the lake and is making an
effort to awaken the people of the
neighboring counties to what is being
done. in the hope of arousins sentt-
ment into action which will result in
saving the lake.

many European resorts, and suggests
the wisdom OF similar provision in

as to give these men the wages they

difference because those OF us who

much more appropriate that a patrol
tax should be added here as the work
OF these men really Is of a public
nature. While it is true they get out
a souvenir book filled with ads each
year and give ball for the benefit of
the families of the life guards, 1t
might be we'll for the Atlantic City
bathers to look into the kur tax of
Europe which Americans pay without
the least protest.
Decent Clothes
Atlantic City preserves its beach
decency. One-piece bathing suits for
women are not allowed-four police.
and one plainclothes man patrol the
beach and any improper costumes are
driven off. Many people who have
seen Mack Sennett's bathing girls are
determined to emulate them and come
on the beach in costumes only fit for
the stage. Recently q very pretty
girl with a short bathing suit and
socks appeared on the beach. "I
must get her off" said an officer. SO
he marched out to the lady who at
once put up an argument and rolled
her eyes in most firtatious fashion.
She was very scantiy dressed" said
the officer, "and she had to CO." The
young lady poutingly retreated to her
stateroom "to put on more clothes"
and the incident closed.
All honor to this safe patrol which
permits the people to enjoy the ocean
under the most pleasant circum-
stances and free from danger.

credit. Its members risk their lives
in season and out and make splendid
records for themselves. Efficiency is
the keynote of their organization and
every man who wears red coat
stands ready TO make the supreme
sacrifice If such is necessary-in fact,
no braver men can be found any
where. During the bathing hour they
have a large number of boats ready
TO go o1t anywhere the beach be-
comes congested, as it frequently
| does. and the men go out in these
boats and watch for accidents.
There are thirty-nine protected sta
tions where there are fifty can bouys
and two hundred ring bouys. The
beach is equipped with six hospitals
and six doctors who attend to the
minor ailments of the bathers as we'll

these is at South Carolina Avenue,

drowning persons is sometimes queer
Usually they are scared and often
unconscious, yet one would think that
the rescuers would be presented with
large sums OF money. According to
one Of the guards such is rarely the
case. Il suppose" he said. they

enough" But" he continued, "one
lady did give me fifty dollars" Per-
haps it was all the lady had, because
it is well known that people of all

this guard did not expect money. and

Some of the queerest things have
happened on the beach, and in many
instances had it not been for the

have been drowned. A young lady
was bathing with several children and
some young men were playing with a
hand ball on the beach, when one Of
the young men in throwing the ball
