By the Associated Press
Now York, Oct. 4. Renewed rigor
wns Instilled today into tho investiga-
rtlon of the origin of the mysterious Wall
strcot explosion, September 10, as a re
sult of thn arrest at Pittsburgh yester
day of Florenn Zclcnnkn. Department
of .Tustlco ngents sold they attached
special significance to tho arrest.
On learning of Zclcnaka's arrest in
Pittsburgh, where a sultcaso flllod with
dynamite wns found In his rooni. fed
eral agents visited the Brooklyn address
ho gave when arrested and established
these facts:
That Zclcnakn left his room ,nt 470
Cleveland street, In tho foreign sec
tion, an hour or more beforo tho dis
aster. That he carried a reddish yellow bog.
That he formerly was employed by
tho Hercules Powder Co.
Find Radical Literature
That he left in his room a large quan
tity of alleged radical Russian literature.
Michael Tcrkasky, a tailor at tho
Brooklyn address, told government
agents be had rented a room to Zo
lenakn and gave other Information con-
corning him. In n forelgn-mado trunk
i etc by zeienakn was a Russian pass
port issued in 1018.
Leon Konkcl. n steamfitter. thn man
who cove the Pittsburgh authorities the
information which led to the arrest of
Zelcnaka, arrived hero today from
Pittsburgh to tell his story to the federal
authorities.
Konkcl told neents of tlio Dennrtment
of Justice that whllo he was traveling
from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh with the
suspect the lutter had Informed him thut
ho had explosives In his suitcase, and
gloated over, the Wnll street explosion.
Konkcl said that he had him arrested
alter he had seen dynamite In his trav

They -expressed the opinion that
Zclenakn, who formerly worked In the
mines of West Virginia, had obtained
ins ayannmo were. They snid that a
chargo of Illegally transporting ex
plosives probably would be lnilued
against him cither in Pittsburgh or
Cincinnati.
The possibility that thero may be
some connection between the nrreat of
.eiennun and thnt ot Joucha Greenspan
in Brooklyn last Friday, was advanced
here todny, but official comment was
lacking.
Greenspan, when arrested' for loiter
ing In a building, declnrcd ho know who
placed, tho bomb In Wnll street. His
loom, like Zelcnnka's, was said by tho
pollco to have contained radical liter
ature. Both men aro nntives of Rus
sia. Greenspan is under observation
lu n Brooklyn hospital.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 4. (By A. P.)
Information obtained from Florenn
Zclennka, of Brooklyn, arrested hero last
night with a quantity of dynamite in
his possession, may lead to a solution of
tho Wall street explosion, uccordlng to
local pollco and government agents.
Questioning of Zelcnaka who was
taken nt a hotel after a fight with tho
police took place today. He had been
en route from Cincinnati to New York,
and his remarks, on the train brought
about his arrest.
Clues Zelcnaka furnished may lead
to scores of arrests in Brooklju nnd
New lork. He could furnish no good
reason, police snid, for having the ox
plosive in his possession, nnd is alleged
to have remarked to Leon Konkcl, a
companion on the train:
"Tell them I will have the stuff there
tomorrow."
Another remark attributed to him ns
he was being placed In his cell wns:
"Seo what wo did In Wnll street.
Next time It will bo bigger nnd moro
terrible. Tho last wns only a sturt."
Department of Justice nirpnt.s xnM tn.
day tliat they had not questioned Zcl-
ennua last nignt because lie seemed
badly frightened, and they had allowed
tho police, to return him to a cell In
the central station.
It was stated ut the Fedoral building
thut If the facts warranted It, Zcleiaka
would bo held under u Federal charge,
but If not, ho would likely bo prosecuted
under the state law for transporting
explosives and havinc exnlotilvrs m Ma
possession.

SAY MASTER KEY WAS USED
Robbers jimmied n snfo in the Han

presumably earh Sunday morning, nnd
escaped with S000 mMi.
The robbery, said to be one of the
"smoothest jobs" known to tho police,
wns not discovered until 8 o'clock this
morning, when employes opened the
store.
Apparently the yeggmen were fa
miliar with the business of the store nnd
know the safe contained nil of Satur
day's receipts nnd part of tho cash
taken in on Friday.
Detectives McClure nnd Ferris, of
the Llevonth nnd Winter stroets sta
tion, believe the men entered the store
by the use of n muster key. Thero is
nothing to indicate they forced nn en
trance. Once inside, the robbers moved the
sato from bcucnth a counter ut the reur
oC the store and pried tho heavy door
from its hinges, using u heavy crow
bar. It is believed they used kid gloves,
us no fingerprints could bo found either
on the crowbar or the door of tho safe.
An inventory of thu stock of the store
is being made to determlno whether any
of the stock was stolen.
All employes of tho establishment who
carry kejs will be closely questioned
and required to furnish a detailed ac
count of their uctlons between tho clos
Jig hour Saturday night and tho open
lug hour tills morniug.
Officials of the compnny say that
Saturday's receipts wcro the largest
,n the h story of tho concern.
A similar uttempt to rob tho store
was mado four months ago, but failed
because the robbers were interrupted.
