NO CLUE TO AUTHOR
OF BOMB EXPLOSION
New York Authorities Still in
Dark; Custom House Blow
Up "Fluke."
BY Associated Press TO Every Evening

New York, Sept. 22.-Four workmen
apparel at the Municipal Building today
and declared they had spoken with the
driver of the death wagon that figured
in the Wall Street explosion last Thurs
day.
The workmen said that FIVE or ten
minutes after bomb, believed to have
been placed in the wagon, exploded, q
man approached them when they were
standing in front Of a building beng
RACED in the Wall Street district.
According to their story the stranger
said his horse and wagon had been blown
,ip after he had left the vehicle to tele-
phone his employer. He said he had been
ordered to take building materials to
Wall and Broad streets, but he had been
unable to find the indefinite address
given him. After talking to the workmen
be disappeared, they said.
The workmen employed by house
wrecking concern described the stranger
as either Slav or German about five
feet seven inches and weighing about leo
to 40 pounds. He wore a dark blue
serge suit, they said Miss Rebecca Ep-
stein, 20 year old stenogapher who
claims also TO have seen the driver of the
death cart before the explosion, previously
had told the district attorney that he wore
brown oyeralls.
New York. Sept. 22.-The progress OF
the police and the Department of Justice
toward apprehension of the criminals who
killed 35 persons by exploding a bomb In
Wall street last Thursday is best epitomiz-
ed In the reply made last night by one Of
the investigators when asked if anything
new had been turned up.
New" he grinned. "Why, we don't
even know what sort of explosive was used.
1t is hardly possible that it could have been
anything but a bomb, but we have
nothing but expert testimony that it
must have been, and the experts cannot
agree at all about the nature Of the ex-
plosive.
This statement was made after the ad-
Iournment OF a desperation" meeting
held In the offices of Fire Marshal Thomas
Brophy yesterday. The conference lasted
all day. 1t was attended by Fire Commits
sioner Brennan, Captain George Busby of
the police bomb squad and various de-
partlnental experts The conference was
not characterized by unity and none of
those who attended would talk for publ
cation at the close.
But it is known that the police have all
but thrown up their hands and arrived at
the conclusion that unless the perpetrators
of the horror are revealed by some confes-
sion by some one who knows all about 1T
there Is lively chance that the ghastly
affair viii take its place beside the 1913
bombings, the Elwell case and other
standard mysteries.

MAYOR TAYLOR's VIEW.

Mayor Taylor, when asked his opinion
of the matter, said this morning that in
view of recent and past troubles In CON
nection with the operation of the garbage
disposal plant, il seems to him that the
city will eventually have to take over and
run it, and if conditions are as stated, this
might as well be done now as at any time.
II was likely, he thought, that the cost to
the city OF doing this would not be greater
than the $4,000 extra asked by the pres
ent contractors, and the work would be
under city control.
