AS it appears that the victims of
the Wall Street horror were men and
women workers. said Mr.. Daniels,
and not CAPITALISTS most Of them
clerks and holders CT similar positions
and were bread winners for their re-
spective families it is but fair and
fitting that something be done by Wall
Street for the living dependents in a
practical and substantial way.
"The undersigned takes the liberty
OF starting. through you. a subscrip-
tion list. and hopes that all individuals
who were in the vicinity of the explo-
sion and who were fortunate enough to
be spared will help swell the list to
the end that fund shall be raised in
the financial district. the distribution
of said fund 20 be under the super
vision of committee to be appointed

French Captain Says He Never
Felt So Powerful an Explo.

No German she'll used agairs. The
Allies during the war caused so neavy
dctonation as did the bomb that
wrought death and havoc in Wall Street
Thursday, in the opinion of Captain
Jean Parmertier, who served two years
on the Alsace and Russian fronts.
Captain Parmentier. now financial
envoy of the French government, is in
New York on a mission connected with
the settlement Of Frances share of the
Anglo-French loan. He was in the Of
fee of II. P. Dawson on the Broad Street
side of the Morgan building when the
explosion occurred.
II had an appointment with Mr.. Da-
vison at noon,' said Captain Par
mentier yesterday, land had just en-
tered his Office and taken seat by the
window when suddenly there was a
heavy detonation, accompanied by the
heaviest rush of air and debris l have
ever experienced. Glass fell all around
me and the dust was 80 thick it was
nearly impossible to breathe.
THE detonation was of such force it
seemed to produce an immense vacuum
was sucked with great force.
II have been in the vicinity of nu-
merous 3s-centimeteF shells, out they
carried no such detonation. Whether
the internal machine was loaded with
dynamite or INT l am unable to say
but the detonation indicated that the
charge of explosive was far heavier

The excellent work done by the
Broad Street Hospital in caring for
victims Of the explosion resulted yes

institution. Among the largest con-
tributors were the curb market brok-

among them with hundreds of dollars.
Ballington Booth. president of Vol

great service in the treatment of ex-
plosion victims, yesterday stressed
this hospitals need for financial as

Bomb Explosion i'm Wall
Street Arouses to- Action
Authorities Throughout
the American Continent

Throughout the North American Com
tinent forces of guards were thrown
about public buildings yesterday as a
result of the bomb outrage in Wall
Street Thursday. This precaution ex-
tended to every city in Canada.
In this city special force of police
was gathered under command Of In
spector Coleman to protect all the Fed
era institutions and other buildings
in the financial district J. P. Morgan'g
home and the homes of other wealthy
citizens were also guarded.
In some cities the precautions almost
reached the level maintained through
out the war. In Washington extra
guards were placed about the Capitol
by Elliott Woods, superintendent OF
tie building, and guards watched the
other government buildings, including
the White House, Treasury. War and
Navy buildings.
IN Boston the State House was
placed under heavy guard and special
details will be kept there on day and
night duty for some time. Police
guards were also placed on the Stock
LXchange, the Sub Treasury, Court
House and other public buildings. State
Street and the banking district were
ratrolled by special details, mostly in
plain clothes.
At Chicago men were placed around
inc Board of Trade and Rookery build
lnes, as precaution against terror
ISM. Detectives began patrolling the
financial section. The Rookery Build
ing houses most of Chicago's brokers.
In San Francisco the police ueu-
trality squad was brought into being
again yesterday. An increased police
guard appeared in the financial district
and paid particular attention to the
Quo, n treasury; the Federal Reserve
Bank and other public buildings.
Al Denver special guards wer.
placed to protect the United States
Mint and the Federal Reserve Bank on
orders from Washington. The same
precautIon was taken at Kansas Citv

me identity of the man who drove
the wagon containing the bomb into
BROAD Street will be disclosed within a
few days if the police will institute an
intensive search for the stable where
1ne IN morse was kept, in the opinion of
thomas j. Tunney, former police in
spector, who organized the bomb squad
IN 1871. MIR. Tunney. after making an
examination Of the scene yesterday, as
serted that half dozen persons must
oe IN possession of facts which would
clear up the mystery if they are only
reached by the police.
ne best clew to finding the Grim
lnal is to find out where the horse was
stabled,' he said. "If the horse and
wagon were kept in the country, the
chances are hundred to one that some
body will be able to tell who the owner
was II, the horse was kept in the city
many persons must be aware by this
time that it has disappeared. You
cant keep horse in a stable and pre-
vent any one from knowing it. Neigh
bors will know about it, and men who
deliver hay or corn will soon miss the
horse. Also, the wagon is bound to be
missed. / would ask anybody who
misses a wagon from their nei,hbor-
mood to give the facts to the police"
Mr.. Tunney, who has had much ex-
perlence in running down bomb plots,
said that in his opinion fifty pound or
more of dynamite were used "Judg-
ing by the force of the explosion am
confident that the explosive was in a
steel container capable of at least
10000 pounds resistance power to the
square inch" he said Tine broken
sash weights we're either in the CON
tainer with the dynamite or were Sc,
around it. Otherwise they would not
have been blown tc such great distances.
"The explosion in this case, as in
most Of them. destroys its own evi-
dence. Therefore, one can only guess
as to the character of the mechanism
used to set of the charge 1t might
have been an ordinary fuse, which
burns at the rate Of one inch to five
minutes, and thus gives the dynamiter
ample time to get away. Or it Nigh.
have been one OF three or four other
contrivances. They include the clock
mechanism, the sulphuric acid fuse and
an electric device. 1t is almost hope
less to search among the debris for this
kind of evidence.
Find the stable where the horse was
kept, is my advice"

an unbalanced mind caused him to
write the letters of warming. The gov
errment officials are convinced also,
they said, that Bill Haywood, the I. w.
W., is blameless. Haywood" said one
official, "is out under 100000 bonds and
we can lay hands on him when we want
him"
There has been much shifting in the
personnel Of the local bureau of the
department of Justice as the result of
the explosion. The Flying Squadron"
which has been used in the investiga-
ticn Of profteering cases, has been
assigned to the bomb plot.
The Red Squad of the department,
which concerned itself throughout last
winter with radical activities, will not
be reorganized for the present emer-
gency., Secret Service agents are CO.
operating with Department Of Justice
agents IN SO far as the investigation
concerns the Sub-Treasury.
George Lamb, division superintend-
ent OF the Department of Justice, who
yesterday examined evidence brought
10 MIN by score of special agents,
found one man who had been struck
on John Street, fully a quarter of a
mile from the scene Of the explosion.

nearly two inches long, was hot when
it fell
Federal agents were inclined to be-
ileve yesterday that if an organized
oand of anarchists was responsible for
! the outrage they were anarchists Of
new school, at least so far as their
destructive methods are concerned. A
search for pink paper at the scene
OF the blast proved futile, all govern
ment men and city detectives bearing
IN mind the fact that fragments OF pink
papers were at the scene of many ex-
plosions last year.
Scores of persons seeking exemption
from classification as enemy aliens or
desiring the wise of the department. on
the passports of friends in Europe who
oeslre to immigratc to the United
states were questioned at Department
of Justice headquarters.

protection of the community against
such disaster.
Second, this branch Of your inquiry
Will have to do with the question of
criminal negligence. 1t seems apparent
from the reports that are current and
common knowledge that the disaster
was caused either by direct criminal
act on the part of those who wished to
destroy property and life or was due to
negligence.
"N ere any persons Transporting INT
or dynamite or other high explosives
through the streets of New York
through one Of those most crowded
streets, at an hour when it was most
crowded? Have the rules and regula-
tlons with respect 10 the possession
and transportat on of high explosives
fully been complied with? In that con-
nectlon call your attention 20 the rro-
VISIONS of Chapter 10, Code of Ordi-
nances of the City of New York, with
respect to explosives. An examination
OF this chapter will show you that it
contains sections prohibiting the man
ufacture of high explosives, rcgula-
tons Tor the sale and ansportation
OF eTN4oslves, respecting delivery by
vehlcies. respecting reports to be made
OF such deliveries and with respect to
the use of high explosives for blasting
or other purposes.
This disaster has made it clear that
no one outside of governmental
agencies should be permitted to have
IN possession high explosives Of any
kind unless the authorities know where
it is and exactly what it is being used
for in some legitimate building or
other operation or Improvement where
the use of such explosive is necessary
1t is obvious from what has occurred
that large quantity was in possession
OF some one. Where did it come from .
How is it possible that any one could
obtain sucn eXplosiveso
I'm general upon the subject Of your
inquiry | would advise you to consider
whether or not any person would be
permitted to have in possession ex-
plos.ves or be permitted to manufac-
ture the same except government
agency and if it be necessary to use it
IN private undertakings that it be con-
stant!y under the supervision Of a re-
sponslble public servant.
"Gcntlemen, this is a most important
Inquiry. 1t IS part of your duty will
ingly to inquire whether crime had
been committed and bring TO the bar
Of justice those who have offended.
You will use every means in your
power. You will have the cooperation

You VIII go to the bottom of this

SWAT THE ROAD HOGS

Two road hog massacres in Tampa
last week. Man killed in each; also,
in each the perpetrator ran away.
Something like that coming to us up
here before long Sometimes we 60
out riding in the evening with some
friend or other who has car. AL
most always said friend, at least once
en- the trip, sees blaze of light ahead
and turns his car almost into the
ditch, and he and we hold our
breaths while speed-fiend tears past,
popping the air between the cars like
a young thunderclap. Peaceable man
who drives out in his car of an even
ing should put a good heavy revolver
down by his side and when he sees
road scorcher approaching should
send shot across his bows, followed
by another between his glaring head
lights if he doesn't shut them off and
slow down. The law seems helpless
to protect live human or avenge a
dead one in such cases, so it Is time
people protected themselves. A few
good lessons of the kind we have
recommended would vastly increasa
the spirit of consideration among
some drivers for others along our
roads .--Ocala Star.
