Organization Two Months IJeliind
This criticlum of the IJepubllcans is
probRbly exaggerated. As already
pointed out in this correspondence, the
Democratic nationnl oigauization Is at
i least two months behind the Republi
cs! organization, nnd in some respects
Wore thnn two months behind it in get
ting under way. The Democratic na
tional organization is not yet func
tioning. And the peculiar relation of
Governor Cox to it makes it difficult
for it to function. Governor Uox is
Virtually the head of whatever national
organization there is. Chairman White
being merely the governor's man. And
Governor Cox is nwuy on a long trip,
hard to reach and hard to keep fully
Informed.
,The example of the Republicans this
jear iu having an organization fully
prepared and ready to act when the
nomination wim made will be likely to
be followed by other parties in the fu
ture. The Democratic party was handi
capped by not having funds to begin
with when the convention was held and
by not having any organization alreadv
qtive in the field. The change in the
chairmanship s,o late in tho day as the
change from Mr. Cummings to Mr.
White was a mistake from the point

' He plays n lather lone band politi

Mr, White has mado the mistake of
disagreeing with his chief on oue or two
occasions, especiallj when lie made the
announcement fioin Washington regard
ing the relative unimportuuce of the
.League oi .Nations issue, and on the

White, Judge Moore and the governor's i

Lithuania agreed to withdraw her

MET WALL STREET
Workmen Declaro Stranger
Told Them Hb Team Was
Blown Up
REVIVE ACCIDENT THEORY
By the Associated Press
New York, Sept. 22. Four workmen
appeared at the municipal building to
day and declared they had spoken with
the driver of the death wagon that fig
ured In the Wall street explosion last
Thursday.
Particular Interest wns taken In their
story, for investigators vainly had
sought to establish the Identity of the
driver among the dead or the living.
The workmen said that five or ten
minutes after the explosion of a bomb,
believed to have been placed in the
wagon, a man npproached them when
they were standing in front of n build
ing being razed in the Wall street dis
trict. According to their story, the stranger
said bis horse and wagon had been
blown up after he had left the vehicle
to telephone to his employer.
"lie said he had been ordered to tnke
building materials to Wall nnd Broad
streets, hut he had been unable to find
the indefinite address given him. After
tnlktng to the workmen, he disappeared,
they said.
The workmen, employed by n house
wrecking concern, described, the
stranger as either a Slav or a German,
about five feet seven inches, nnd weigh
ing 100 to 170 pounds. He wore a
dark blue serge suit, they said.
Miss Rebecca Epstein, a twenty-year-old
stenographer, who claims to
have seen the driver of the death wngon
before the explosion, previously had told
the district attorney that he wore brown
overalls.
The workmen's story served to re
vive un early theory that the explosion
mny not have been due to n bomb plot,
but to a collision between an automobile
and n wngon filled with explosives.
While waiting to be quizzed by of
ficials of the fire department, nt whose
office they nppeared, the workmen told
reporters that manv contractors working
in tho financial district, when in need
of explosives, frequently sent any kind
of wagon for them, without going to
the trouble of obtaining a permit for
their transfer.
Wnrning that the Brooklyn postoffice
should be "cleared at 12:15 a. m. Sat
urday" was received there today on a
postcard. It was characterized ns n
Joko by B. M. Gardner, collector of In
ternal revenue, but he took measures to
guard the structure.

i mous letter at noon today saying that

communicated with the police and nu

15 MILES AN HOUR
Committee Urges Mayor Moore
to Make This Maximum
Speed
WOULD CUT OUT HORSES
A maximum speed of fifteen miles nn
hour for motor nnpnrntiiH going to fires
wns recopunended in a report to Mayor
Monro this afternoon.
The recommendation wns mnde in the
finnl report of n committee named to
Inspect nnd report on the condltiou of
the city's fire equipment.
The committee urged thnt the speed
of fire apparatus should be no greater
than the maximum allowed other
motor-driven vehicles, which is fifteen
miles an hour.
Fire Chief Murphy said that the
fiftecn-mllc limit could be stretched to
eighteen or twenty miles, if necessary.
The committee also recommended the
complete elimination of horse-drawn
apparatus, except nozzle nhd chemicnl
wagons: an appropriation of $5,"0.000
for new motor apparatus; a monthly
insection of nil fire apparatus, with a
report as to reairs needed and n school
nf instruction in motors nnd motor
operation.
The icport recommended the discon
tinuance of detailing officers and men
of the Bureau of Fire to other bureaus
nnd departments, nnd the organization
of n lire prevention squad as u separate
unit under the control of the fire mar
shal to be composed of men separntelv
appointed nnd not detailed to the squad
from the firo or other bureaus.
Tho report of the committee showed
thnt the present equipment of the
Bureau of Fire consists of 127 pieces of
horse-drawn nnd 114 pieces of motor
driven apparatus.
The committee estimated thnt com
pletely to motorize tho fire department
forty-threo udditlonul pieces of ap
paratus will bo required. The motor
apparatus necessury will include nine
teen gasoline pumping engines, nine
teen chemical und hose wugons, thiee
aerial trucks, one tank wugon nnd one
wrecking wngon. Tho approximate cost
of these additional pieces Is $."L."i,000.
Officials of the Fire Underwriters'
Association had no comment to make on
the recommendation on maximum speed
iur me umimuvua. i ne maicer nau not
come to their attention officially, it was
stated.

STORM WARNINGS LOWERED
By tho Associated Press
New Orleans, Sept. 22. Tho tropical
hurricane last night hit the Louslana
coast, striking with full force nt a
point close to Morgan City, Dr. I. Cltue,
district forecaster of the local weather
bureau, announced today.
Morgan City this nftcrnoon reported
that tho city had suffered little dam

for u distance of forty miles west of
New Orleans. Some damage is reported
also west of Baton Rogue.
Indications today were that the fish
ing villages along Lake Borgno which
figured In last night's storm reports
were hit by a series of gales and did not
experience tho forco of tho main dis
turbance. Only tho customary damage which
follows heavy winds wns reported from
the villages, although railroad bridges
were thrown out ot plumb and traffic
delayed ou the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad.
Trees were uprooted, windows were
broken nnd signs were blown down by
the wind here. Ono unidentified man
wns killed by n falling power wire.
Heavy damage from high windH and
