BOMB EXPLOSION
MAY BE SOLVED
SOLUTION OF MYSTERY MAY
COME THROUGH WIScON-
SIN CONVICT.

Milwaukee, Wis.--In the hope of
solving the mystery of the Wall
Street bomb explosion, which killed
80 and MANNED 100, government Sc
cret Service men and private agency
detectives are hurrying to Waupun
penitentiary in Wisconsin, according
to the Milwaukee Journal. There they
are to interview a prisoner who al
ready has given to the Journal infor-
nation which may lead to the arrest
OF the perpetrator Of the blast, the
paper declares.
This prisoner, who is serving a long
sentence in Waupun, has told a story
which tends to accuse a former pris-
on pal of having caused the explosion
from radical motive for revenge. He
claims to have information which
would positively identify the suspect
to the police of several Eastern cities.
Il served two years with him in an
Eastern prison." said the Waupun
prisoner, whose name is withheld.
This man, who Is a foreigner, con-
fided to me many crimes. He was an
expert in explosives. He was always
cursing Wall Street and financiers and
was an avowed anarchist.
Although cursing Wall Street and
financiers continually, his first direct
threat came following his receipt of
money from his aged mother in Eu-
rope. 1t consisted of an amount
which she said she had made great
sacrifices to obtain for him. The ex-
change, however, cut the amount
down to almost nothing.
my friend told me that Wall
Street and its financiers were direct.
ly responsible for his loss. He con-
ided that he intended to get even
when he was released. At the Wall
Street explosion thought Immediate
ly my friend had gotten his revenge.
Il am willing to give government
men or representatives of the Burns
detective agency additional facts. II
believe I know where this man can
be found now"

CUBAN TANGLE
PRESIDENT WILSON SENDS GEN
ERAL CRoWDER TO WARN IN
sULAR GOVERNMENT.
MORATORIUM is EXTENDED
The State Department Has Approved
Recommendations Submitted To
the Cuban President BY Al
bert. Rathbone.

| Washington.-Aroused by the fail
ure OF the Cuban government to sta
Dillzie financial and political condi
tlons In the island, President Wilson
has dispatched Judge Advocate Gener
al Crowder of the army to Havana to
confer with President Menocal.
General Crowder's mission is in
tended to awaken the Cuban people 10
a Keen realization of the imminencs
OF American Intervention If their gov.
erhment tails to take the necessary
steps to avoid it by remedying the
present situation.
There is reason to believe that Gen.
eral Crowder is authorized to intimate
10 the Cuban president that it will be
necessary for the United States to
act under the Platt amendment in the
event that the financial and political
situation in Cuba are not clarified ex.
peditiously, especially as there is in.
sistent complaint on the part of Amer
leans affected by the moratorium
and also as there is possibility of
revolution in Cuba should the uncer.
tainty concerning the result of the re-
cent natiocal election in that country
lead the various factions to disregard
law and public. crHer.
The moratorium was recently ex.
tended by the Cuban government for
another month. 1t became known
that the State Department has n-ceiv.
ed complaints from all parts Of the
United States on account of the finan.
cial situation in Cuba, because Amer.
leans were subjected to hardships.
The State Department has approved
the recommendations submitted to
the Cuban president by Albert Rath-
bone, who recently went to Cuba as
financial adviser to the president of
Cuba for the improvement of Cuba's
finances, but SO far as is known. the
cuban government has not reacted
favorably and Mr.. Rathbone's sugges.
tfons have not been adequate. 1t is
also understood that they contemplat.
ed legislative action by Cuba in order
to provide guarantees for the Ameri.
can banks which might advance loans

DAnnunzian legionaires set fire to

ley, southeast Of the city, according
to a report from Azbazia. The explo-
sion. which occurred toward midnight,
set fire to the woods surrounding
F1ume to the east and great clouds of
black smoke rolled down oyer the
city. In some quarters the belief was
expressed, the dispatch states, that
a petroleum refinery near the powder
magazine had also been set on fire.
Italian regular troops surrounding
Fiume continued to advance west and
north Of the city, while on the east
ern side the situation was unchanged,
as the regular troops remain on one
side of the Enco river and the legion
aires on the other, and it is impossi.
Bile to cross this stream because the
bridges have been destroyed. The
fiercest fighting occurred west of
fiume. where Alpini, advancing from
Castra, reached the public gardens.
When they had forced their way
that far they found all the houses
surrounding the gardens had been
transformed into machine gun nests
from which a terrific fire was poured
upon them.
An armored car advanced against |
the regulars and inflicted heavy |
losses, the Alpini throwing themselves
on the ground and continuing the
struggle for some time. Major Dam
bara, in command of the Alpini, rode
through the gardens on horseback and
rushed toward the car, but was wound.
Cd twice and his horse shot dead.
When the fire ceased Major Dambara
was able to struggle toward the car
and upon 1t found three dead legion
aires and two seriously wounded COM
missioned officers.
