IRON CAUSED
NEAR CONFEDERATION

What came very close to develop
ing into a serious fire, and actually
was witnessed in its beginning by
number of people who were unable
to get at it to prevent it from be-
coming a blaze, occurred last night
at the tailoring establishment of F. ].
Schmidt, on State Circle, near Mary
land avenue.
Passersby were attracted at about
s o'clock by the sight of smoke in
the shop. : Through the front plate
glass windows it could be seen that
the entire store was filling rapidly
with a thick cloud. No blaze was
apparent, however, and the discoy-
erers of the smoke hesitated about
turning in an alarm of fire.
An investigation was started, and
at back window the cause Of the
smoke could be seen. A heavy elec-
tric iron had been left with the cur
rent turned on 1t and the stand
upon which it was set had been heat
ed to red heat, and the table on which
they were placed was charred and
beginning to glow.
For a time all efforts to enter the
building were futile. but finally Joseph
Wilson, a cadet, broke the glass OF
the front door and entered the build
ing that way. Just as entry was ef.
fected the table burst into flame. TIC
extinguish the fire took several min
utcs, as it was found that the con-
tents of a drawer beneath the table
had also caught fire. The damagt
was slight, consisting mainly of thai
from smoke to a stock of cloth which
was for the most part out of danger

WIFE FEARS FOR
HUSBANDS SAFETY
James S. Bowdoin, Of Murray
Hill, Had Charge Of Vaults
In Morgan Office

The big explosion in New York City
today which caused the death of more
than a score of persons, and injury
to many others, created anxiety here
among the relatives and friends Of
James S. Bowdoin, who lives on
Franklin street, Murray Hill, this
city
Mrs. Bowdoin was informed of the
explosion by long distance telephone
call from a friend, who also said that
her husband, who has charge of the
vaults in the offices of the J. p.
Morgan Company, is probably safe.
Mrs. Bowdoin soon afterward call
ed at the Capital Office for informa-
ton concerning the explosion and her
husband, but the Associated Press dis
patches so far received, do not give
names of any of the persons killed
or injured, as identification has not
been established, and therefore no
list of the fatalities has been COM
piled.

In Worlds Financial District,

NEAR MONDAY MEAL;
FINANCIERS ESCAPE

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-A
mysterious explosion, disastrous
in its effect, occurred at noon to-
day in Wall street, killing more
than score of persons and in
juring hundreds.
Office workers were just hur-
rying into the street for their
MONDAY meal when a jet OF black
smoke and fame arose from the
center of the worlds great street
of finance.
Then came. blast. A moment
later scores 'of men, women and
children were lySs;.qg, blood-cover-
ed, on the pavement. Two min
utes later nearly all the .teT'>
changes closed. Men had turned
from barter to an errand of mercy
and there was need of it.
Spend Hours Hunting Dead
While the police toiled for hours
seeking the dead and injured, trained
investigators were trying to discern
whether the explosion had occurred
from a bomb plot in front of the Office
of J. P. Morgan and Company, or whe-
ther an automobile, dashing into a
wagon loaded with explosives, had
taken its toll. Frank Blanfisko, one
of the most able Investigators of the
department of Justice, arriving on the
scene, expressed an opinion that not a
bomb plot, but a collision, had been
responsible for the blast which rocked
all lower Manhattan, tore the walls
from Office buildings for blocks around
and scattered deadly missiyes in all
directions.
So far as could be learned two hours
after the explosion, the disaster did
not take the lives OF any prominent
financlers

In the olden days all of the work
on the sailing vessels engaged in this
trade was done by the men, and it
was then considered one of the hard
est lives a man could lead. Very
often the revenue cutter was called
upon to rescue some man who had
vessels. Others who had been shang-
haied and who either made their es-
cape or were set ashore by the cap
tain and left to walk to Baltimore
through the snow, told stories of many
hardships they had experienced.
A shanghaied member of crew is
not heard of now and there is a de-
cidedly better class of men on these
vessels. In those days the crew did
not only have to Gull the oysters, but
they had to turn either one or the
other of the two windlasses that stood
on either side of the deck. Today this

Congressman Sydney E. Mudd, OF
the Fifth Congressional district, has
has completely exonerated of the
charge that he was instrumental in a
''frame-up" to have his Democratic op-
ponent, Lieut. Commander Thomas S
Klinger, sent to sea to chase icebergs,
while he, Mudd, could chase around
after votes unmolested.
The charge of a clever political
move of questionable fairness was
made by Ossie Klinger, father of the
candidate, in a statement which was
given wide publicity.
Upon learning of the charges of Mr.
Klinger, Mr. Mudd vigorously denied
that he had any connection with the
return to duty of his opponent or that
he influenced Capt. w. E. Reynolds
commandant, or any of the superior
officers of the United States Coast
Guard. with whom he is not person
ally acquainted, and at the same time
wrote a letter to Captain Reynolds
urging that his opponent be allowed,
not only the three weeks leave that
was credited TO him, but also entire
leave from now until election day.
In support of his statement the Con
gresham makes public a letter from
Captain Reynolds under date of Sep,

STARTS MAIDEN TRIP
Tennessee, Largest Member OF
United States Navy, Leaves
N. Y. On First Voyage

The United States steamship Ten
nessee, newest and largest member
of the United States Navy, sailed on
her maiden cruise yesterday from
New York.
The official launching took place at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard several
weeks ago, but delayed electrical in
stallations and wiring kept her in the
yard until yesterday, when she left
New York for Newport to take on II
torpedoes From there she will sail
on a six weeks cruise along the At
lantic Coast and later go to Cuba,
Mexico, Panama and Hawaii, ulti-
mately to join the Pacific feet at
San Francisco.
Acceptance trials will be held in
November. At funl power the bat
terry of oil-burning boilers generates
enough steam to drive the gigantic
ship at a speed of 81 knots. Her
combinations of turbines and dy-
namos will generate 27,00O horse
power.
The Tennessee displaces 32,500 tons
and is manned almost exclusively by
seamen from her namesake State

only exceptions. Her commander is
