The Exeter Times, 1920-9-23, Page 6THIRTY.ONE KILLED AD R INJURED IN WALL STREET EXPLOSION W. Powerful Bomb Does $2,000, 000 Damage to Buildings and Offices * How Explosive Was Placed in Street. is Still a Mystery. A .despatch from New York says: - In broad daylight, and in the most. prominent spot of America's great fin- ancial centre, a reed -handed blow was struck at noon 'last. Thursday at the heart of the country's banking inter- ests. It missed its aim --the house of Morgan --in that no member of that great firm was seriously injured, but claimed as victims many hapless passers-by. Thirty-one persons are known to be killed, and more than two hundred were injured. The explosion of a time bomb two minutes after twelve o'clock on the Wall Street side of the J. P, Morgan & Co. office;at Wall and, Broad •streets, killed betwen twenty and thirty per- sons, and sent over two hundred men,. women and boys and girls to hospi- tals with injuries, some serious, but in the main superficial. Cuts from fly- ing glass furnished the greater part of the minor injuries. A couple of million dollars' worth of damage was done to the buildings in the financial district. The Assay and Treasury buildings, near the scene, were wrecked and shot through with hurtling iron fragments from the giant bomb. Showers of broken plate glass fell to the streets and to the floors in the interior of buildings. Fortunately, the horror of a great fire was not added to the other fearsome occurrences. On Thursday night, twelve hours later, investigating authorities were almost certain the disaster was due to an infernal machine left on an un- covered one-horse truck in Wall street directly in front of the new United States Assay Office, ret door to the Sub -Treasury, and directly across the street from the J. P. Morgan build- ing, Throughout the nation--horrar- struck at tidings of the catastrophe - the. same interpretation was placed upon it, and public buildings and great storehouses of wealth, as well as. con= spicuous men, were placed 'wider vigi- lant guard. The explosion which turned Wall street into a shambles at noon to -day was the result of a deliberate and well-prepared plot, according to Fed- eral and city officials, after an exten- sive investigation at the scene of the tragedy. They based their conclusions on the following facts: First: Investigation 'shows that no waggon carrying explosives from authorized sources was in Lower Man- hattan on• Thursday. Second: The effect of the explosion was far greater than any that could be produced by an ordinary explosive-. carrying waggon, Third: Iran missiles made from broken -up window weights unlike anv in the Wall street district caused all the damages to the building and were responsible for the loss of life. Fourth: The coinaidenee of time and location of the explosion. Fifth: The fact that three men were observed running east on Wall street about two minutes before he explosion. These glen are reported to have fled • in a waiting automobile. S:xth: The discovery of a peculiarly wired box containing electric batter- iee, that was placed by unknown per- sons in the automobile of Henry Babb, two blocks from the scene of the ex- plosion. Sevenh: Only four sites in Lower Manhattan are using explosives in construction work and not one of then • received or expected explosives on Thursday. British Mine Strike Nearing Settlement A despatch frim L:ndon says: - The conference of the Coal Miners' Executive with Sir Robert Horne, president of the Beard of Trade, ad- journed late on Thursday afternoon without an agreement having been reached in settlement of the contro- versy between the miners and the Governrnen. Sir Robert Horne de- clared, however, that new proposals made by the miners constituted an ad- vance toward a peaceful solution of the trouble. Sir Robert Horne refused to re-, commere' that the miners should have two shillings advan*'e under the pres- ent circumstances, but added that if an increased output were assured an advance in wages could be given.

This enterprise has its basis in the fact that practically 73 per cent. of the raw material used in -he manu- facture of artificial silk by the Japan- ese is a British Columbia product, viz., sulphite pulp. The organizers claim that instead of shipping this pulp to Japan and having it returned as a costly material, they could manufacture the artificial silk here much cheaper. They recog- nize that the rhea and rahmi grasses of Uganda, Africa, ramie a better pro- duct, but the fibres of the B.C. forest timbers are already making a satis- factory silk.

Holyrood is perhaps the most un- comfortable of all the royal residences. Hence it is that since the time of James I. few of our monarchs have cared to live in it. Queen Victoria cordially disliked the place, and de- clared, after her first visit, that she would have preferred to have stayed at the Calton Jail, just opposite, which is a modern imitation of a mediaeval castle. The Duke of York, I am told, is left-handed, but this does not in any way interfere with efficiency. He can write equally well with either hand, and is an excellent shot. Ambidextrous rather than left-handed is the correct description of our newest Duke. When you next *read the headline, "Premier sees the King," you might like to recall this little story of the first time King George ever met a Premier. It was in his nursery- days- it is just as well to begin young -and Queen Victoria, Mr. Gladstone, and a party of distinguished guests were sit- ting round a table in the drawing- room, discussing weighty matters. All went smoothly till Mr. Gladstone sud- denly felt something brush against his foot. "Heavens above us, madam," ex- claimed Gladstone, "there is' some- thing under the table overhearing our conversation." • He bent down and dragged out the miscreant, who proved to be a small boy, trying to hide his face in his hands.

Dysentery ie' one of the worst forms of bowel complaint. The pains in the bowels are: intense, the discharges occur; with great rapidity, and are very often accompanied by blood. It does not need to persist for any, length of time until the whole system is weakened and debilitated, and hardly any other dis- ease so quickly undermines the strength and brings about a condition of pro.- stration and utter collapse that often terminates fatally. To cheek the. unnatural discharge, without bringing on constipation, there is only one remedy to use and this is Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wile{ Strawberry. Mr. G. W. MaVagh, Mower, Sask, writes: --"About eight years ago I had a severe attack of diarrhoea which turned to dysentery,beforc I got better. I might say I was sick for three weeks. X weighed 154 lbs when I took sick and weighed 125 lbs. when I got it stopped. I think I had tried every medi- cine that was on the market and did not find relief until I tried Dr, Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, and one bottle relieved me. I think there is nothing like it for diarrhoea or dysentery. I always keep some on hand as a person does not know when he will need it." "Dr. Fowler's" has been on the market for the past 75 years.

A statement by the director of raw wool stocks of Great Britain shows a total of 2,905,554 bales of government- owned wool on hand. The quantity of combing merino wool which is still available for sale 1.s 706,579 bales. This stands out in strong contrast to what- has been generally supposed as being the stock of combing wool, cloth- ing and carbonizing stocks being sen- sibly less than half the quantity of combing wools still unsold.

Other messengers disappeared in the confusion and have not been hear (rain since.

In 1919 the yield was valued at $63,349,000, being 34,575,000 bushels. The largest Federal official estimate of this year's craps is 82,972,000, which, taken at $2.60 a bushel, will • bring Alberta farmers the huge sum of $215,727,200. This means, in other wards, that the bumper yield of 1915 will this year be increased over four -fold in monetary value, assuming that approximately the present price of wheat holds."
