Great quantities of extremist literature, the police ' assert, w ere found in his home. By PRANK. CHARLTON TSTATF CORRESPONDENT 1 N. SERVICE) XCT' YORK. Sept. 20. The Wall street bomb 'blast -wastlil a mystery today after four days and nights of relentjess searcih by very agency of the police and the la-wr. The authorities cla!md tohavnw clues which they were developing. Tjut it was admitted that noarrest3se;med imminent. The Nenv York; grand-Jury began tak Ini testimory in. what promises to become the most drastic investigation ever conduated in. this city. Edward Fischer, who cent -warnings to at least two persons, and who was later arrested in Canada as an insane man. was summoned to testify before the grand Jury despite-the fact that he 13 admittedly deficient mentally and irresponsible. Fischer arrived here this tnorntng in custody of two iew Tork detectives. Investigators from the New Tork' fire department were reported to ha'" found a, magazine "somewhere In the New Tork district" from which a large amount of high explosives had been mysteriously removed shortly before the 'Wail street blast. While they were running down this clue, the detectives c the New Tork police department were concentrating ' their energies toward identification of the last remainingvictim who remains unknown. Here Js a description of the unidentified man. who may or not have perished with the secret of the outrage In his possession. Height, 5 feet. 8 inches. Weight. 145 pounds. Hair. light brown and combed straight back. general appearance smooth shaven, tlue eyes, small chin, good teeth and muscular. He was about 20 years of age. It was first believed that the dead man had been employed as a messenger by a bank or Wall street brokerage office, but this theory was discarded upon closer scrutiny of the body. The hands were found to be calloused and the nails black with oil and grease. Most of the detectives and secret service agents Investigating the crime believe that the driver of the wagon containing the Infernal machine, escaped a few minutes before the bomb exploded. If, as is now believed, it was the driver who dropped anarchist literature In a mail box at Broadway and Cedar street, at noon on Thursday he had evidently walked from Broad and Wall streets to Broadway and then turned north on Broadway. Cedar street doe3 not extend east of Broadway. After tracing two of the sioes on the horse that drew the bomb wagon to the shop where the horse had been shod the investigators ran tip against a new obstacle.

Following the E.ist Side Park meeting the candidates were to have been taken to the Gary Country Club frolic and barbecue for short talks, but their late arrival in Gary pi-evented this and the picnickers were much disappointed.

The initial affair given by the club it was a noteworthy event for many reasons, and gives promise of great things to come when the club is formally dedicated.

Threat of a renewal of the strike of bituminous coal miners in Indiana Is contained in the call Issued todav by the local organization of the United Mine Workers for a special convention of the state union -body, in the view of both operators and miners. Diggers will demand more pay at the proposed convention, is the general belief. Enough locals have petitioned officials of district No. 11. United Mine Workers of America for a special convention to warrant a referendum on the matter, it was learned today. Although miners officials are avoiding publicity, it is understood they regard the question i? serious. It is known that the dig have been discontented for some time and it Is indicated they wi'J demand hightr tonnage rates. Failure of settlement will mean another large strike, union leaders admit.

out some sharp rivalry. A clay putting grounds drew a big crowd to the clock contest whiie the pitching battle kept uiashies busy all afternoon. Both men and women golfers participated in the events. Fred Beckman won both the driving and pitching contests. Mrs. Coman Scott of Hammond went over the golf course in the fewest strokes and Mrs. Edgar Selby or Gary won the ladies' putting match. Tompt of Gary won the men's putting. Everything was free. Lemonade anl confections were served during the afternoon and nothing was overlooked to provide for the enjoyment of tne visitors. The piece de resistance was of course the barbecue and nearly a thousand were fed cafeteria style and It took a lot to appease their hunger, but the menu was ample corn on the ear drowned In melted butter, roils and red-hots, bun sandwiches of roast beef, ham and cheese, devilled eggs, pickles of all kinds, hot coffee ana lemonade were some of the tilings that fell before the savage onslaughts

of the guests. When dusk fell a giant bonfire was built and under the oaks! upon an illuminated pavilion a propram of dances was played till a latej hour, among those credited with thi successes of the frolic are Hoy G.j Tarry, chairman of the entertainment j and sports; Harry Call. Harry Som-i mers. Major Burr. Drs. Mlltimore, . Long and Templin. The women's events were in charg of Msdamcs Miltlmore. Templin and Burr. Dell Plain Heads State Association The Indiana State Electric Light association held its meeting a: French Lick. Indiana on September 15th. ISth and lTth. at which there was an elegant attendance. Tne convention was full of interesting- discussions the principal question, however, being the inability of the managers of these properties to raise the necessary- unds with which to ke"p the'r properties in shape so that good service can be given to make extensions commensurate with the developments of the various towns served by those in attendance at the convention. The need for money in these Industries is greater than it has ever bn before. This Is due to the fact that during the war and since the armistice was signed, the compair.es have not been securing a rate for their poods that is In no way proportionate to the increased cost of labor and material used to carry on this business. There for, more funds are needed for extensions and there Is need of money to spend to compenfate for the lack or maintenance in the past. The revenues of the Industry are much that bankers can no longer feel that the securities' of these institutions are god. but there Is optimistic spirit amonirst those operating thplants that condiions will ultimately pertain that will p-rmit the public utilities to supply these necessjf, of service to the public. At such tinr if the pub!l-. in general realizes the condition of the utilities from the financial standpoint, the remedies will be forthcoming. In addition to the honors reev-d by Mr. Morse DellPlain when elected as president, he was also ahi to bring lmme with him a silver cup given hy th Electric association at the goTf match. Upon th a d on mm en t of th convention on Friday night, everybody thought that the 1320 convention was the best and most profitable cf any of th conventions that haie been he!d in th past.
