explosion this noon in Wall Street,
near broad, believed by trained depart
ment of justice and police investiga-

death and destruction in its wake.
At least 30 persons were killed
more than 200 were injured, the bank
ing house Of J. r. Morgan and com
pauy, the subtreasury and the assay
office were partly wrecked and prop
