SQUIRREL STOLES ARE EFFECTIVE ON NEW FALL FROCKS
SAYS GOLBY DOESN'T
KNOW RUSS AFFAIRS
(By Associated Press) LONDON, Sept. 17 Distinctions drawn by Bainbridge Colby, United States secretary of state, between Armenia, Poland and Finland and other sections of Russia that have declared their independence, which were made in the course of Mr. Colby's note of Aug. 10, to the Italian ambassador in Washington, are "impossible to under stand and probably the result of insufficient information as to the real facts of national conditions in eastern Europe, says George Tchitcherin, Bol shevik minister of foreign affairs. M Tchitcherin has addressed a note to the Italian government and to soviet representatives abroad" in which he answers some of the conclusions reached by Mr. Colby in discussing Russian affairs. The foreign minister's communication was dated at Moscow, Sept. 10, and has been published in the London Daily Herald, organ of labor. M. Tchitcherin says Mr. Colby considers the demand for independence of Poland, Finland and Armenia legal, saying they were annexed to Russia by force and that their separa, tion does not infringe upon Russia's territorial rights. He asserts the secretary holds that other "oppressed nationalities of czarist Russia" were
not annexed by force and that the de
sire for independence of the Georgian Azerbaijan, Lithuanian, Letvian, Es
thonian and Ukrainian peoples, either in the form of complete Independence or in federation with Russia, are illegal.
MOVING PICTURE OF
HORROR WITH TITLE 'DEATH' WAS SCENE
NEW YORK. Sept. 17 Thrilling stories of the explosion in Wall street were narrated by persons who wltnesed the crash, as well as by the first comers on the scene. Discrepancies, inevitable in the excitement and confusion, made it dif
ficult to ascertain exactly what
caused the tragedy, but confirmed the reports of the indescribable terror that followed the explosion.
One eye witness was Hiram David,
who was sitting on a motor car in
front of 40 Wall street. He said:
"1 saw a man tinkering with an au
tomobile in front of the Morgan or
fice. The next thing I knew, flames seemed to burst out from under the
automobile. Then the explosion came. A truck drawn by a horse was just
beside the automobile, as I remember
it."
Horse Found; Driver Vanishes.
Parts of the horse were found after the explosion and a piece of one of
the shafts. The driver and the wag
on( however, could not be found. It Is said that this wagon contained a
One of the smartest accessories of the present fall is the fur stole or neckpiece. It is used to great advantage with both street suits and frocks. Chokers made of one or two skins of squirrel and wide stoles are very popular. The squirrel stoles are particularly effective when worn with the dark colored fall frocks as they form a pretty contrast. Here is one beautiful stole which makes & wrap unneces-nry.

TRANSFER MEN TALK OVER STOCK HAULING QUESTION Live stock hauling was the principal subject at the meeting of the Eastern Indiana Transfer Men's association, Thursday night. Lack of a standard rate was deplored by the members and an effort is to be made to fix the-
rate.
Three new members were taken in.

load of T. N. T. After the explosion unexploded dynamite was picked up
in the vicinity, it is said,
The automobile which is believed to
have caused all the trouble was found a charred wreck, against the side
walk some distance from the Morgan
offices. No trace of the chauffeur
could be found.
Oscar Thompson, a salesman, was
passing the Morgan building when
the explosion occurred. It seemed
to come from the north side of Wall
street, in front of the subtreasury
building, he said. He was blown
against the side of the Morgan build
ing and then fell to the ground half
stunned. Silence Then Groans! There Avas a dead silence for a brief instant, and then groans and cries began to fill the air. Automobiles and trucks passing through the neighborhood drove up to carry the dead and injured away. As Thompson got to his fest he saw B0 to 75 men and women prostrate in Wall street, Broad street and Nassau street. In a few minutes the police arrived to assist in picking them up. A stream of vehicles of all kinds was proceeding down Wall street to the Broad Street hospital. A dazed automobile driver, whose car had been banged up against the
Washington statue at the subtreas
ury, told his story. This driver was
Henry Davis, chauffeur for Winslow S. Pierce, a lawyer, of 40 Wall street. Freak of Blast Spares Him Davis was the nearest man to the explosion, excepting the driver of the explosives wagon, who was killed. By one of those strange freaks of explo
sions Davis was not harmed, while the automobile he was driving was smashed to kindling wood. , "I was driving east in Wall street,"
Davis said, "when I saw a red ex
plosives wagon of the Du Pont com
pany In front of me. It had a red flag out behind, and I was watching this red flag when I saw a flash.
"I ducked. There was a roaring
sound that reminded me of Niagara. It kept up for a long time. Falling glass made it last, I suppose. ' I looked up from my seat, and noticed that the
top of my car was gone. My head would have gone with it If I had not ducked simultaneously with the crash.
"My automobile was quite a dis
tance away from where is had been.
I looked for the explosives wagon. There was not a trace of it, except a few remnants that nobody would have recognized if they had not known
what had been there. None was as!
big as my hand. Only a Hand Left "I wondered what had become of the driver, and I walked over to where the explosives wagon had been. One hand was all that indicated there had been a driver." A police lieutenant said: "I was walking along through the usual crowd that fills the Wall street section at the lunch hour, when suddenly there was a terrific explosion in
rront of the Morgan building. Everything went black for a moment, then
a cloud or smoke rolled up from the street, and as it cleared away there
was a shower of millions of pieces of glass from the windows high up in
the buildings. Mingled with the shat
tered glass fragments were bits and long strings of ticker tape. "As soon as I could recover my breath I looked around. In the district which a moment before had been filled with hurrying crowds I could not see a person standing up. Everywhere there were heaps of men and women thrown from their feet and ly
ing flat on the ground, where they had been hurled by the impact of the explosion. Wall street, Broad street, and the stock exchange looked like buildings in a deserted village." Miss Ella Parry, 22, a stenographer at 36 Wall street, almost directly opposite the office of Morgan & Company, gave a vivid account of her experience. "I had just left my desk," she said.
"and was washing my hands, when I heard the explosion. The glass of our windows fell into the office and the ceiling fell all about us. Where I had just been siting was covered with heavy plaster. I did not wait to get my hat, but with others rushed into the street. "It was the most awful sound, and I was terror stricken. All the women In the building, and the men. too. went rushing for the doorway. I waa pretty well in the lead. The girls were screaming. When we got to the door policemen made us stand back. 1 looked down Into the street and saw the reason. What I saw was awful. Sees a Dozen Shattered Bodies. rTherewere not less than a dozen
dead persons on the sidewalk in front of our building and the subtreasury. Some of them had their faces almost completely blown off. and their clothing had either been blown from their bodies or burned off. Some of them had their legs blown off. Oh. It was awful! The police threw cloths over the bodies as fast as they could get them and when they had the bodies covered they let us out of the building. "The street was filled with hysterical and screaming girls, and the police did their best to quiet them. There was at least half a foot of glass on the street and sidewalk."
