"It was n cruih out o( a blue kj an unex pected, death-deallnic bolt which. In n IwlnklltiR. turned Into n shamble the hutlest corner of America's financial renter and sent scurrying to places of shelter hundreds of wounded, dumb stricken, white -faced men and women fleeing from an unknown danjer." A reporter for tbo Associated Press, who was a witness of the explosion In Xow Tort's financial district, thus devribed the scene. "I Tval Just turning into Wall street from jSroadwny." he said, "when I first felt, rather than heard, the explo sion. A concussion of air, similar to that experienced by n passenger on the subway when n train dashes Into one of the undcr-rivcr tube, was felt. Its force was sufficient to all but throw me oft my balance. "Instantly, following the concussion, rnme n sharp resounding crash which shook to their foundations the motmtcr buildings facing either side of Wall street. With the roar of the blast, came the rattle jf falling glass, and fnm the junction ai Wall. Nassau and 'Jlroad streets a block distant screams of injured men and women, i "I dodged Into a convenient doorwty to escape falling glass and to reach t telephone and call my office. Looking down Wall street later, I could see arising from tho vicinity of the Sub treasury Building and the .1. P. Mor Ran & Co. Uanlc a raiiahroom-shopcd cloud of yellowish -green smoke, which mounted to a height of more tlim 100 'ft, tbo smoke being licked by darting tongues of flame. "I reached the scene a few moments after the explosion. The smoke par tially had cleared from the street, but from the Morgan Building there wa belching forth through the broken win dows clouds of dust and white vapor. In the street an overturned automobile was blazing fiercely and nearby, clos to the body of dead horse, was another lire, evidently among a pile of wreck age. Flame -Seared Form on Street "Almost in front of the steps leading up to tho Morgan Dank was the muti lated body of a man. Other bodies!, most of them silent in death, lay nearby. As I gazed horror-stricken at the sight, one of these forms, half naked nnd seared with burns, started to rise. It struggled, then toppled and fejl lifele into the gutter. "On the opposite side of the street were other forms. One of them was that of a young woman her clothing torn and burned away. It was mov ing not in an effort to rise but in th ngony of death. I started toward her. but as I did It becamo still. Glancing clown I saw that the pavement was dis colored with blood. In plain Right, within a radius of thirty to fifty feet, were nlnp lifeless forms. "The body of the dend horse in the ; middle nl the street showed plain evl dence of havinz been In very clow nrox 'imlty to the center of the blast. It was torn literally to pieces. r Dulldings Badly nattered "The windows of the Morgan building were blown out. and tnrourh the onen Ings could be seen tho smoke-blackened interior of what but a few momenU previous bad been one of the most hand some banking rooms in the city. Oppo site the newly completed white ex tenor of the subtreasury annex was battered and torn as it having beeu subjected to a bombardment of machine cun fire. The aoorway. with its mas xive steel grillwork, was shattered and the ttono surrounding the door cracked and battered away. "By that time the crowd was press ing in. held In check by ihe hastily gathering police. At the doorway of tho Morgan bank was n uniformed ituard. apparently half dazed, but stick ing to his post and holding back those who sought to enter me structure. t Statue Commands Calm "The crowd was strangely silent, and over it seemed to hang a feeling of awe and horror. At the commands of the police it moved and foil back silently. On tip steps of the old Subtreasury Tiulldlng, the spot where years ago stirring scenes connected with the Amer ican Revolution were enacted, stands a utatua of George Washington. Looking down from its pedestal between the massive granite columns, scarred by mUsles from tbo explosion, the out stretched hand of the Father of Ills Country seemed to carry a silent com mand to be calm. '"Then earae the ambulances. Nearby trucks and automobiles were first pressed into service Volunteers, heed ing not blood -smeared hands and cloth ing, tenderly lifted into the vehicles the bodies of the dying and the dead. The dead that remained for additional con veyance were charitably hlden from sight by coverings torn from awnings or by rooos irom arriving motorcars.

ON JUNE 2, 1919 Explosions of bombs and infernal machines containing bombs and nitro glycerine almost simultaneously near midnight of June 2. 1010, at the homes of prominent officials and citizens in a dozen different cities throughout the United States marked the effort of radical agitators and anarchists to open a reign of terror. There were explo sions In Philadelphia, New York, Washington. Cleveland, Doston, Pitts burgh, Paterson, N, J., Newtonvllle, Mass., nnd in several other cities. Two bomb outrages were perpe trated In WcRt Philadelphia. A bomb was exploded In front of the rectory of the lloman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Victory, Fifty-fourth and Vine streets, and another in iront oi mo home of Louis Jagiclky. 244 South Fifty-seventh street. Doth bomb raused considerable damage, but no lives were lost. One of the bombs wrecked the front of the home of Judge Charles C. Nott, Jr.. of the Court of General Sessions, lfil Fast Sixty-first street. New lork. and threw the body of an unidentified man into the street. Judge .ou nau presided nt the trial of anarchists who were accused of attempting to explode bomba in St. Patrlrk's Cathedral. He was not in the house at the time. His wife was at home, but she was unhurt. At about the same moment a bomb was exploded nrematurely at the front doorstep of Attorney General A. Mitch ell palmer in Washington, wrecking tne front nnd blowing into fragment the unidentified man who hnd placed the explosive. Nobody else was Injured. The Identity of the dead anarchist who fell a victim to his own plot uas never established. On the same night anarchists ex ploded a bomb nt the home of Judge W. H. Thompson, of the United States Dis trict Court in Iloxburv. Mass.. that of Mayor Harry J,. Davis, of Clevelnnd, and near the Boston house of . W. Sibray. chief inspector of the United States Ilurenu of Immigration. une month earlier, in May, linn, oc curred the May day effort of the lleda to precipitate panic and, perhaps, revo lution by aiming at the lives of scores of prominent men and women by means of infernal machines sent through the malls. Some of the most notable bomb out rages within a decade were: October , 1010. Los Angeles, Calif.. Times building blown up with loss of twenty lives : J. D. McNamara and Milton A. Schmidt sentenced to life Imprisonment and John J. McNamara to fifteen years' imprisonment. Explosion of an Infernal machine o September 4, 1018. in the entrance of the Federal Ilulldlng, Chicago, caused the deatlm of four persons. Judge Kenesaw M. Lnndls, who had sentenced to long penitentiary terms William D. Haywood and other I. W. W. leaders, was in the building at the time, but v.ati uninjured. April 11. 1017 Eddvalunc munitions plant, near tins city, destroyed ny nrc i i i i u .!. i... inn itas. bomb setter thought to have been one of the victims. December 10, 1017 Bomb exploded near executive manpion. Sacramento, Calif., in effort to kill Governor Stephens. February 20. 1018 liomb wrecked the lower floor of Passaic county court, Paterson, X. J. March 8. 1018 Bomb exploded in New Woods theatre, Chicago. December 31, 101S Fxploslons in Philadelphia at homes of Justice Rob ert von Moschzlsker, Police Superin tendent William M. Mills and Krnest T. Trigg. February 22, 1010 Plot to bomb President Wilson on his return from Boston led to arrest of fourteen an archists, seven of whom were held for deportation. EDDYSTONE DISASTER WAS WORST OF ALL While the explosion in the Wall street district yesterday was a terrify ing one because it happened in tne very financial heart of America, if not of the world, the Eddystone disaster on April 10. 1017. where 116 persons, mostly girls and women, were killed, still ranks oh the most appalling tragedv of its kind in America. As in the New York blast, rumors of plots spread almost immediately. It was generally believed that the explo sion in the munitions plant was caused by the act of an enemy of the country. Investigations and a country-wide search revealed nothing as to the origin. The explosion of 1017 occurred In the shrapnel-loading plant of the Fd dystone Ammunition Corporation at North Eddystone at 0:50 a. m. The building was a mushroom structure. 000 feet long and 100 feet wide, and stood just west of the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, In this building 500 men and 125 women. worked. Four men were killed on October 10, 1010, and seven injured when gasoline exploded on the oil tank steamship Chestnut Hill at the Green street wharf. When a package of detonating fnses exploded at the Frankford arsenal August 3, 1015. three men were killed. While the Market street subway, east of Broad street, was under con struction, an explosion of illuminating gas in an excavation at Sixth and Market Htroets canned the deaths of eight workmen on October 0, 1000. Forty were injured and a Arc followed that lasted several hours. EXPLOSION CAUSES LOSS OF $2,500,000 New York, Sept. 17 The damage done, as the direct result of the ex nloslnn. was estimated variously at from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000. Rroken windows, shattered office furniture, lost securities, cracked walls and ceilings and other damage went to make up the huge total of money loss. Plate glass insurance experts estimated damage in broken glass alone at mote than $200,. 000, while the damage done to the expensive wall and celling of the Morgan offices could not bo estimated The New York Stock Exchange Miffered heavy loss and the front of the new Assay Offlco appeared to have been under bombardment by Igiht artillery, no badly was It chipped and pitted Beginning at the corner of William and Wall streets and extending west on Wall street to New street there was scarcely a pane of glass intact below the eleventh or twelfth floors. Bcarcely had the financial district recovered from the shock of the explo sion, when work of reconstruction wsh started. Workmen appeared as if by magic, and began the work of clearing awav the debris in the offices and re moving the broken pieces of glass which still remained in the window sashes. At the Morgan offices, the assay offices and the Equitable Trust Co. the work progressed rapidly. In the Morgan offices, by 4 o'cloik, new glars had arrived to be placed in the bent and twisted sasbes as ooi as they could be straightened to receive it.

P. Morgan & Co. It was exnetly 12:03 p. m.. and the streets were filled with clerks, men and women, going to their lunch. The force of the explosion was ter rific. It reminded me of an ammunition dump blowing up. or a German "O. I Inshcan" dropping In the American trenches overseas. For a moment I ithoiiEht I was back at the west front. The concussion caused me to lunge for ward, nnd before I could recover my balance both Miller and I were under a terrific shower of falling glass. Bedlam of Screams Then came the panic. It was dread ful. Women fainted. Boys, their faces streaming with blood from cuts by flying glass, rushed down Broad street in the direction of the Curb market. Many of the girls in the street were scream ing from fear. Scores fainted nnd had to be revived. With the arrival of tho ambulances, the excitement only increased. The mad rush of thousands turned into a stampede. Every building was pouring out frightened people. Some of those had been injured by glasB before they left their desks. Taxicabs were com mandeered for the wounded, but they were unable to move through the crowds. I saw dozens and dozens of men running with their hands to their heads and staggering as they went along. The air was saturated with smoke and dust. There has been only a single explosion, but everyone expected more explosions. Fear was written on every face. There were cries "It is the Reds." and "the Bolshevists did it" and "Wall street is filled with time-bombs." From the steps in front of the Wall street Journal. I watched tho jam gather force and extend toward the front of the Consolidated Stock Ex change. It was impossible to quiet the crowxl, and the more one shouted for the scared people to be calm, the more excited they became. That wild condition lasted for half an hour, until the arrival of the police reserves who formed a line across Broad street at each end, holding the crowds back in South Broad street. Another line of blue coats was established nt Broadway and Wall street, a third in Xafisau street, at Pine street, and still another at Wall and Williams sticets. On the arrival of the regular armv soldiers from Governor' Island about forty-five minutes after the explosion took place, the entire financial district was blocked off. With fixed bayonets 'the troops shared with tho police the restoration oi oraer. une soldiers went about their work In a military manner, and, as a former officer in the Amer ican expeditionary force, I was ex ceedingly proud of their performance. The escape of Miss E. P. Palmer, who lives at COO West 130th stieet. was nothing hhort or a miracle. She I was standing Just below the Washing ton statue, in front of the subtreasury, less than 200 feet from where the ex plosion took place. Persons were killed all around her All that she remem bers is that she fainted, and was carried away without suffering a scratch. Any one who was in that ciowd caught between the tall buildings will sever forget the scene So much has boen written nnd said about the Reds, It was next to Impossible to make persons in the crowd accept the theoiy that a load of dynamite had exploded. One lesson of the explosion is that fire drills should be established in the financial area, so that should a similar disaster occur, there will not be an other panic. 6248 Shore Women Rejlstered Atlantic City, Sept. 17.

Everybody who was in a building rushed in tho street, nnd those towering office buildings of the financial district belched forth thou sands upon thousands of persons who dashed down tqward Broad nnd Wall ptreets and met those who had directly felt the force of the explosion. "Nearly every one of thee victims and near-victims was smeared with blood from head to foot, their clothes were half torn from them. "The charge of these fugitives drove back tho other frightened hordes who had been rushing down to ward the scene of the explosion nnd they turned nnd pressed back, crushing into those behind tbem who hud not jet neen the horrible sight. "Out of this melee were born more disasters, and hundreds of women were battered and trampled. Those who had been injurrd and required surgical at tention could not make headway through the crowd, nnd were helpless until tho police, in commandeered ve hicles, forced passage through the crowd. "A young boy, probably a junior clerk, came stumbling madly up to our door, as though drunk. Suddenly he inw be fore him in the street a mass that had been u pretty girl stenographer.

Thomas W. Lamont, Dwlght W. Morrow, Eliot C. Bacon nnd George Whitney were In n conference on the Fecond floor of the Broad street side of the Morgan Htilld ing. They were shaken up by the force of the explosion, but all escaped with out injury, Junius Spencer Morgan, son of J. r. Morgan, head of the firm, wno is now abroad, was nt his desk on the lower lloor when the explosion occurred. It shnttered the glass partitions of his office, showering him with fragments, He received slight cuts on the hands and nrms. "The explosion threw the conferenco upstairs Into disorder," Mr. Lamont snid. "Wo were jarred by the concus sion nnd rather excitedly ran down to the main floor, where the most confu sion prevailed. There were about fifty employees who were more or loss in jured, nnd those clerks, who had ml laculously escaped injury from .falling debris, were courageously devoting their attention to assisting those who were less fortunntc. "From what we hnvc learned I am Inclined to believe that the explosion was due merely to nn accident. There ure no reasons that wc can find that would lend to a premeditated bomb ing. I can sec nothing to be gained by such nn act. Circumstances of tho occurrence surely do not point to an attempt to wreck the Morgan offices. "If anybody really plotted destruc tion of our building, I believe that we would have been seut the warning that is iisunl in such Instances, nnd we have not been threatened in any mariner. I believe the explosion was due to nothing moro than nn unfortunate acci dent to n drny loaded with explosives which I nm Informed hnd arrived on the site of the Stock Exchange Building addition across the street from our offices."
