ropolis tennis star who was detained
In Hamilton, Ont. in connection with
his postcard warnings Of the Wall
street explosion, arrived here this
morning in the custody of New York
and Hamilton detectives. He was
taken to police headquarters at once.
Fischer, after laughing with a
swarm OF reporters and photograph
sers while posing for news movies"
showed his way with the detectives
TO Lexington avenue lunch room,
where he breakfasted on beefsteak
and coffee. Finishing the meal he
washed his face with glass OF wa
ter. He stuffed into his pocket three
cigars that he picked up from the
arand Central floor, clucking as he
did 90 and explaining that he did not
smoke but ''his friends did"
when posing for camera men he
was asked to remove his hat. This
brought an exclamation, Have a
heart!" he cried.

here" hel added. referring to detec-

Cured. The department of justice

explosion to have been blown to
atoms has been negatived.
Mr.. Davies also said that examin-
ation of all the injured did not find
a single glass wound. All were hurt
by other substances, mostly metal.
