BLAST IN RAILWAY STATION.
London Transit Company Declares
Incident Work OF Joker.

LONDON, August UP).-A bomb
was exploded in the Aldwych station
of the underground railway at 10
O'Clock this morning. No one was IN
jured.
The bomb caused no damage. Some
newspapers made sensation or the
explosion, connecting 1T with the
Worldwide demonstrations over the
Sacco-Vanzetti case, but an official re-
port issued by the underground rail-
way company expressed belief that
the explosion was the work of "a
practical joker"
The statement by the railway com
pany said a small can containing some
sort of explosive mixture had been
exploded in the lavatory of the Aid
wych station, causing considerable
smoke, but no damage. The explosion
was not loud enough to be heard In
the street outside the station.
AS soon as the incident was reported
to Bow Street, a detail of police hur-
ried to the scene, gathered fragments
of the bomb and began an 1nvestlga-

scarcely any one in the station.

Difficult to Get Troops.
Due to the suddenness Of Gen.
Woods death, the War Department
had difficulty in mastering sufficient
troops to comply with the regulations,
which specify a full regiment for one
of his rank. Howevct, by summoning
detachments from nearby posts, the
component units of a regiment were
assembled.
At the south gate the Cavalry and
Artillery attachments left the pro-
cession and proceeded back to their
posts at Fort Myer. The Engineer
contingents from Fort Humphreys,
however, accompanied the body to the
grave. AS the procession first assembled
the slopes Of Arlington it was saluted
by a guard of sailors standing at
attention near the World War section.
Mai. Gen. Charles P. Summerall,
chief of staff of the Army, was out of
the city and unable to attend but had
designated Brig. Gen. B. H. Wells to
