| NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Arrests
were expected today in the hunt for
the terrorists who killed and injured
scores of people by exploding an in
ifernaI machine in Wall street yester-
day noon.
Police, department Of justice agents
and private detectives were cornbing
New York for former empioye Of
the French high commission who was
alleged to have warned the commits
sion of the catastrophe.
They want to question this man,
who is said to be deranged, and to
have an insane hatred Of Wall street
and all miiIionaires.
i The exact number Of dead was still
!. In, doubt today There were twenty
seven bodies at the city morgue. Five
more victims tied during the night.
Police were preparing revised list
Of dead. Injured totaIled more than
200, Of whom number were ex-
pecte to die.
Maurice casenave, French high
commissioner, declared today that on
Wednesday, Lieutenant Arnaud, one
Of his assistants, received letter
from a former employe Of the CON-
mission, warning of catastrophe to
occur in Wall street gon Thursday
afternoon.
A Wall street broker also received
a letter of warning from the same
man. These letters we're worded
about the same, beginning with
"gree .ings," urging the recipients to
"get out of Wall street" and closing
with the words "good luck"
The name of the aI..ged writer Of
the letters is known to the police.
They have been Informed he left the
employ Of the high commission about
September I. He left Toronto last
Tuesday, ostensibIy for New York,
after stating that there were sorne
miIionaiTes here who ought to be
killed.
Some Of the most famous detec-
tivcs in the country were working on
the case today, including William
Flynn, Of the department CT Justice;
w. J. Burns, and Inspector .Egan, the
bomb expert Of the New York police
department.
There were hume rous clues today.
The shoes of the horse which was
bioWff to pieces by the ieNpiooion
were being used in an effort to locate
the stable where it was kept. This
horse was supposed to have drawn a
wagon containing the explosives. Iron
slugs made Of window weights which
killed and margIed many people, and
a few sections of the explosive con-
tainer itself were in possession Of the
police. investigators believed today
the Internal machine was loaded with
TINT as witnesses described a cloud
of smoke, and said they noticed the
peculiar odor of TINT Immediately
after the blast. Many victims were
burned and their flesh stained.
GUARDING AGAINST REPETITION.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE author
tiles were dividing their efforts today
between seeking these responsible for
yesterdays bomb explosion and guard
ing against repetition.
Federal, municipal and private op-
eratives had fixed upon the theory that

had increased to thirty-three through
succumbine of some Of the two hum
dred injured during the night and
early today, was the work Of snareh-
lists and that it was only the beginning
Of carefully planned "reign Of ter
ror" #-
William j. Burns, head Of the detec-
tive agency bearing his name, said to-
day the explosion was resumption,
on a greater scale, of the "maii bomb
plot" of last summer.
1.-THE same organization which car
ried out the distribution of bombs
Through the mails year ago last May
was responsible for yesterdays e&.
,Plosion," Burns said.
"Instead of repeating their former
tactics they just made bigger bombs.
Yesterdays explosion undoubtedly
twas caused by three hundred or four
hundred pounds Of TINT. Tho object
Of the perpetrators plainly was to ut,
iteriy raze the offices Of j. P. Morgan
and the sub-treasuy. The only rea
son the bombs were not carried into
these buildings was that they were so
large it could not have been done
with out detection"
William J. Flynn, chief of the fed.
era! secret service, who directed the
questioning of scores of witne sses,
conferred with about thirty of his
operatives today. Many of these, who
included several women, arrived dur
ing the night from Washington and
other cities.
Plans were made for general
nd-up Of known "reds." This, it
was said, would be extended to other
Icitiea.
One clue upon which the police were
working was furnished by the steel
shoes taken from the horse, Which is
believed to have drawn the wagon
containing the bombs. The shoes, it
was said, bore the mark of the shop
in which the horse was last shod.
Another "lead'' was furnished the
authorities by George r. ketchiedge,
an employe OF 3. E. Schwartz and
Company, who said he received a post
card two days ago from Edward
Fischer, formerly employed by the
French high commission.
Chief Flynn, of the justice depart
ment, Investigators, declared he had
positive information that the explosion
was caused by a time bomb, and that
the driver of the bomb wagon was
seen four blocks from the scene at the
time of the disaster.
Miss Ethel Fischer, sister of Ed
ward P Fischer, was questioned by
Justice department operatives as to
her brother'o movements, when she
returned to her home today, after a
short absence. She declared Fischer
LETT about week ago, stealing out Of
the house at six a. m., because he
feared an attempt would be made to
put him in sanitarium. He had
been in d sanitarium once before, she
sd id. After he left, his brother-in-
Law, Robert Pope, started after him
with the intention of having him COM
mtted for insanity, Miss Fischer
stated.
Detectives today found part of the
clock works Of a time bomb on the
roof of the sub-treasury building.

Eovernment Detective Force Convinced Ex-
plosion Was Result of Bomb Plot, Hatched
in Radical Brain.
WHITE HOUSE GUARD STRENGTHENED
Outbreak Can be Expected in Connection With
Activities of European Reds at Any
Time.

: AInited Press Leased Wire Service ]
y WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE fed
eral governments detective force To-
day was convinced the explosion in
the New York financial district was
the result Of a bomb plot.
This conviction, it was learned,
was based on the character Of the
explosion and on evidence and frag-
nentary warnings coming to officials
for some time that some such an
attempt was expected. Theories that
the explosion may have been an ac-
cident have been abandoned here
and officials today had taken these
steps TO hunt out the perpetrators OF
the disaster and prevent a possible
repetiton. The department Of JUS
tice was checking UP on radicals
throughout the country and one man
here has been questioned.
The treasury, white house and
other public buildings have been put
under extra guard.
Many Of the government depart
ments were lending aid to the ae-
partment Of justice in its investiSa-
ton Of the explosion. The treasury
secret service has its detectives
working.
The military. intelligence is inves-
tifating and the Department OF agri-
culture has assigned its explosives
expert to the work Of finding the
,lharacter of the blast.
The military intelligence, it was
understood, has intimations that an
Outbreak of some sort might be ex-
pected along with radical demonstra-
tions in European countries. These
limitations have also been conmu-
nicated to the department OF justice.
When William J. Flynn yesterday re-
ceived word Of the explosion, he is
said to have remarked:
what we expected has happened"
So far as known, the man ques-
toned here, waiter, is the first to
be taken in the radical hunt. He was
said to have told. detectives:
q know all about the New York
explosion. The treasury will be the
next to CO."
Federal officials did not consider
there was sufficient evidence to hold
the man, but he is being carefully
watched.

NHculd have been sufficient to pro-
duce many deaths in narrow Wall

warning of the Wall stree. explosion
in New York by Robert A. Pope.
F'ischers brother-in-law, Hho caused
his arrest here today. Pope declared
Fischer was not in New Scrk yesier-
day when the explosion occurred
| Pope had Fischer arrested on a
charge of insanity after their arrival
there this morning from niagara
Falls, N. Y. Fischer was arrested in
| the offices of attorneys in he Bank
of Hamilton building.
| Pope. in a statement TO authorities.
+, said Fischer's mental condition was
not normal and for three weeks dCr-
ing which Fischer sent OUT warnings
of the Wall street disaster, his mind
was in a peculiarly receptive {. ndi-
! tion.
With his mind thus sensi.izei s.oJ, q
said, he was especially receptiye to
mental suggestion from others. His
mentality intercepted the thought
waves of those guiltily connected
with the explosion, according ITO
Pope's theory. With his mind f:led
with these intercepted thoughts, Fis-
icher worried about friends who might
be harmed and warned them, Pope
believed.
Pope said Fischer predicted the
disaster to him three weeks ago and
at that time wrote friends in the
financial district Of New York warn
ling them of what was to take place.
The Hamilton lunacy commission,
Drs. ( McGillivray and Rosenburgh
visited the prisoner in detention
room and examined him.
The officers who took Fischer in
custody said his conversation was
peculiar.
Fischer, they said, declared he once
was sparrtng partner for Jack
Dempsey.
Pope supplied the police with the
story of Fischer's activities during
the last three weeks. He had been
subject to spells of mental depres-
sion, Pope said, and his relatives
feared he was on the verge of
nervous breakdown. They sought TO
persuade him to go to the north
woods for a rest, but he refused.
Pope asserted Fischer did not come
in contact with anarchists and he did
not believe it possible he met any
persons who would have had know
ledge OF the bomb plot. He then ad-
vanced the theory of mental tele-
pathy.
