_ancial centre, a A despatch from New York says:-- In broad daylight, and in the most{ prominent spot of America's great fin- a red-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. x "The explosion of a time bomb two minutes after twelve o'clock on the Wall Street side of the J. P. Morgan & Co. office,att 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, next door to the TYNE KILLED AND OVER 200 _ : v SURED WALL STR EXPHASI is Still a Mysry street from the J.

They based their conclusions on the following facts: First: Investigation shows that no waggon carrying explosives from authonized sources was in Lower Man- hattan on Thursday. Second: The effect of the explosion was far greater than any that could bé produced by an ordinary explosive- carrying waggon. Third: Iron missiles made from broken-up window weights unlike any in the Wall street district caused all the damages to the building and were responsible for the loss of life. Fourth: The coincidemce 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 men are reported to have fled in a waiting automobile. Sixth: The discovery of a peculiarly wired box containing electric batter- ies, 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 them received or expected explosives on Thursday.

This enterprisé has its basis in the fact that practically. 76 per cent. of the raw material used in the 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 ufacture the artificial silk here much cheaper. They recog- nize that the rhea and rahmi grasses of Uganda, Africa, make a better pro- ~ duct, but the fibres of the B.C. Forest timbers 'are dlready making a satis- factory silk. a w Thanksgiving on" r 18 A despatch from Ottawa says:-- Thanksgiving will this year be cele- REDS HOLD POWER IN GREATER BERLIN Effort Made by Nationalists to Declare Elections Void. A despatch from Berlin saysi-- A struggle between the reactionary bourgeoisie and the Socialists of Ber- lin has been precipitated by elections i which have placed the municipal gov- ! ernment of Greater Berlin wholly in i the hands of the Reds. Social Demo- crats and Independent Socialists have a majority of twenty in the munici- pal assembly. With this result, both factions promptly got together to ex- ploit the tremendous patronage possi- bilities, and filled all the honorary and fair municipal jobs with their own partizans, with favor also to out-and- out Communists. In a desperate effort to frustrate Red rule in Berlin, the German 'Na- tional party has introduced a bill into the Prussian Parliament to declare null and void the law passed by that body creating the new Greater Berlin, under which the new municipal elec- tions were held, resulting in victory for the Socialists. mmm epee British Mine Strike Nearing Settlement A despatch from London says: -- The conference of "the Coal Miners Executive with Sir Robert Horne, president of the Board 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 Governmen, 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- commend that the miners should have two shillings advance under the pres- ent circumstances, but added that if ani advance in wages could be given. me see ess Allies Give Austria 'Spending Money # Vienne, Sept. 16---Consent for Aus- tria to spend without restriction the present credit of 5,000,000 pesos given her by Argentina has been accorded output were-assured an TRINIDAD GIVESHRH. GREAT OVATION] Royal Visitor r Received by En. thusiastic Crowds--To Call at West Indies. 'A despat¢h from Port of Spain, Trinidad, says:--H.M.S. Renown, with the Prince of Wales on board, arrived here on Friday morning and anchored among the gaily decorated shipping: in the harbor. The Renown 'was escorted from Colon by the cruiser Calcutta and was joined at Bocas del Toro by the cruiser Calliope. A tremendous ovation was given the Prince and his suite upon their landing at 11 o'clock. They were met by the Governor, officials and leading residents, with a guard of honor composed of the Royal Sussex Regiment stationed there, marines from the Calcufta and Calliope, the local constdbulary and a group of men who fought in the great war. Addresses of welcome were made on behalf of the Government and municipal authorities, to which the Prince replied. An illuminated address, presented by the municipal authorities, was the work of a French nun of a local con- vent, and was enclosed in a casket made by returned soldiers, of the island's woods. Amid dense enthusiastic crowds the Prince drove through the principal streets to 'St. Joseph, the old Spanish Capital. On his return to Port of Spain he addressed thousands of school children and then had luncheon at the Governor's Palace. y There was a reception at the Gov- ernment House, followed by an official dinner and a public ball in a building constructed for King George years ago. Magnificent decorations were tobe seen everywhere. On Friday night there was an extensive fireworks dis- play. ' At the Primce's request no' official engagements have been made for the concluding two days of his visit, leav- ing him free to make and renew ac- quaintances. On Monday the Prince will leave for Demerara, British Guiana, on the Calcutta, the Renown being unable to cross the bar there. He will return to Trinidad on the evening of the 23rd and start immediately for Grenada, West Indies, ge Alberta Expects 82,000,000 Bushels of Wheat A despatch from Calgary says:-- The Calgary Herald says: "Alberta's wheat crop in 19156 was sixty million bushels, valyed at $50,000,000. In 1919 the yield was valued at $63,349,000, being 84,575,000 bushels. The largest $2.60 a bushel, will bring Alberta farmers the huge sum of $215,727,200. This means, in other words, 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."

Although there is no direct evidence that the Wall Street bomb explosion was part of an international plgt against the citadels of finance or gov- ernment, Scotland Yard, the British police organization here, has tighten- ed its espionage on the groups of di- rect reactionists. The police posted at public buildings and other struc- tures such as might be the objectives of bomb plotters, were unusually alert. J. P. Morgan, the head of the firm of J. P. Morgan and Company, is in the country somewhere on a holiday. Through the 'London Office of his firm he is in constant touch with the situa- tion at home. The office forwarded his inquiry about the injuries of his son, Junius Spencer Morgan. A veil of absolute secrecy is drawn' about his whereabouts. Not a single one of the agents for the shooting lodges or other vacation spots of England know where he is. This is indicative that the secrecy was part of a program determined on long Yefore the explo- sion. Details of the explosion are being sent to him in hourly bulletins. It was said that he will not return to the United States at this time.

Work to date has brought forth portions of porphyr and sohist roek, and has given rise to the belief that the Kirkland Lake gold area rock formations may be duplicated here. The theory that gold bearing rock ex- ists beneath the sand is now being much discussed here. Two diamond drill machines are being operated by the English interests. There seem to be good prospects of finding commer- cial deposits of very promising ore.
