NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS - ( Terrible Explosion in Financial | District of New York Laid to Anarchists i 1 MAY BE PART OF HUGE PLOT j j Republicans Say Maine Result Pre- , sages Their Victory In November— Attitude of Women Voters Signifi cant—Cox Approves Roofs Plan for World Court 4 By EDWARD W. PICKARD. New York's financial center was shattered and the entire country ' shocked on Thursday by a terrible ex plosion that took the lives of abouf 80 *f>erßonß and Injured some 300 oth ers. That It was the result of a de liberate plot by anarchists is the firm belief of federal and loiial officials, and there Is reason to fear that it was bat the start of a campaign of terror- Ism against the financiers of America. The explosion tame exactly fit the noon hour, directly in front of the new assay building at Brood and Wall streets adjoining the subtreasury. and across the street from the beautiful J. P. Morgan building. A one-horse truck was standing there and the an-, thoritles believe It contained a gigan tic bomb that was exploded by a time clock. The deaths and Injuries and - the damage done to" buildings were mostly caused, by short, heavy slugs ■made from broken cast Iron window weights, unlike any in the Wall street district. This fact together with many other developments, furnished a basis for the theory of the officials. After the disaster It was learned that a Wall street employee and the French high commission had both received warning that there would be an ex plosion in the district on September IS. The letters both came from E. Fischer, formerly an employee of the French commission, and were mailed from Toronto. Fischer is said to be deranged as a result of a nervous breakdown. The victims of the explosion were mostly clerks and messengers. No prominent financier was killed, though many of them had narrow-escapes, and Jnnlns Spencer Morgan, son df J. P. Morgan, was cut by flying glass. If It Is still true that "as goea Maine, so goes the nation," the Republicans will score a tremendous victory In No vember. They swept the Pine Tree state, electing Parkhurat for governor, and all the rest of their ticket by a majority of about 05,000. Every coun ty In the state went Hepublican. Na tional leaders of the party, of course, gneeted this result with shouts of Jey.. Nearly 80,000 women went to the polls, and some 00,000 of them voted the Republican ticket This is regarded as especially significant, for It haa been contended that the women of the country would support the league of Nations. The campaign In Maine waa conducted • largely on national ismea, the league Issue being foremost and both parties sent national figures Into the state as campaign orators, the Democratic forces being led by Frank lin D. Roosevelt ~»ndldate for vice president, and Secretary of the Navy , Daniels. Calvin t-»illdge. Republican , candidate for vice president Senator ( Lodge and other heavy guns were there for the Hepublican ticket and . devoted much of their energies to at tacking-the Wilson draft of the league. - Governor Cox, Mr. Roosevelt, Chal* . man White and other leading Demo l erats all refuse *> consider Maine a Stable polltlca. barometer. Secre -7 Tumulty, after conferring with President Wilson, said only that the , Maine result "cannot be considered as » Indicative of the general result in . November." The Impartial observer will accord I the greatest Importance to the atti i tude at the Maine women, though It 1 may be true that the women of the a central and western states do net tee) 1 the sane way about the league as . Of the primaries of the week, the most interesting and important were I those of New York and Illinois. In the former the "regulars" of both , par ties won. The Republicans renoml- ] noted Senator and the "j Democrats named Lieut. Gov. Harry i O. Walker aq his opponent. The nil- nols primaries were Interesting, espf- i dally because of the fierce "civil war" 1 within the Republican party there. The faction led by Mayor Thompson of Chicago was bltterije attacked by the metropolitan press, but It swept Cbicaga and Cook county. /Tn the rest of, the state the anti-Thompson forces pi fed up such large majorities that at this writing the result Is in doubt The "power of the press" is very poorly exemplified by the Chicago newspapers, for they nearly always lose s In fights of this kind. ■' The congressional investigating committee dropped the Inquiry into' Cox's charges concerning the Republi can campaign fund, the Republican members holding that they had not been proved and the Democratic mem bers having little to say.. Mr. Cox, however, is unwilling to let the matter rest, and in a recent speech he doubled the amount he said bis opponents were collecting, stating that the fund was to be $25,000,000 or $30,000,000. Ex pert political opinion Is that the gov ernor has done his caase more harm . than good by his "expose" of campaign contributions. Both presidential candidates are i perforce devoting a great deal of at tftition to the League of Nations. Senator Harding, in a message to a women'e club, said: "We are deslr "QUS of preventing war. Let us not break the heart of the world by any more delusions. Let us unite Amer ica behind a new propoAfcto the other nations for the prevention of war and for amicable relationship in world ad ministration. Let us, in doing this, preserve our own. national conscience at borne, and not check it at Geneva." Out West where he has been deliv ering "peppy" speeches. Governor Cox promised that If he were elected the league would be ratified, money would no longer be spent on battleehlps ahd the government funds would be nsed for such'purposes as reclaiming arid lands. Mr. Cox also gave his full ap proval to the plan for a world court as put forth by Ellhu Root and the rest of the advisory commission of lurlsts. This court, said Mi Cox, can- Sot In any way be regarded as a sub stitute for the league, being rather a part of the covenant —which la quite true. Mr. Root sailed for home with the intention of taking part in the national campaign and to urge America to ad here to the International court plan, which he la said to regard as the high point of his career. The proposition was taken up for discussion by the league council when it met in Paris on Thursday. It was expected that, ltaly and Japan, and' perhaps America, would make objection {o the article In the constitution of the court which .provides for compulsory adjudication. In making public the text of the proj ect the council, in a letter te all league members,, aald: "The council would regard an Ir reconcilable difference of opinion on the merits of the scheme as an inter national misfortune of the gravest kind. It would mean that the league waa publicly compelled to admit Ita Incapacity to carry out one of the most Important of the tasks which it was Invited to perform. The failure would be groat and probably Irreparable; for, If agreement proves Impossible under circumstances apparently so favorable. It la hard to see how and when the task of securing It will be successfully . resumed." i Russian bolshevlsts, not giving up i their attempt to conquer Poland, con i centra ted a large forge for an attack i in the direction of Lemberg; bet' the i Poles report that they have adminis tered a crushing defeat to these I troops, and that their own operations - along the upper reaches at the Bug t river have been very successful. Hos i tllltles between the Poles and the I Lithuanians seemed to have quieted s down, but tbe latter were gathered olane the hnnlitr In frr»m t fam* ba. along (D 0 ?>oruer S ■ • cording to recent dispatches, and a battle was fought In the Suwalki sec tor. Baron Wran gel carried out a com plete change of front lu southern Rus sia. Abandoning his plan of concen tration on the Kuban and formation of a liaison with the revolting Co*; sacks, he collected all bis forces In Taurlda and started out to capture Khersoh and Nlkolaiev with .the in tention of forming a union with the Ukrainians further west and of push ing northward toward Alexandrovsk and Kharkov. Already he has won several victories over the soviet troops. In the Baku region in the Caucasus the antlbolshevist revolt Is reported to be spreading and the neds, who already had abandoned Baku, are. continuing their retreat Notwithstanding these reverses to and about their home country the Rus sian Reds are unremitting in their ef forts to "bolshevlze" the rest of the world. Tokyo hears that they have perfected pl»ns for this propaganda and are soon to send emissaries to America, Japan, Chlda and other coun tries in Asia. The band of the bolshevik is appar ent, too, in northern Italy. Radicals, most of them foreigners, are trying to get control of the communist move ment that sprang up there and to foil the efforts of the labor confederation _lo bring about a compromise between the workers and the • employers. In some Instances they drove contented ..employees froib factories and seized the plants. Though the movement was spreading considerably, there was no reason to change the predic tion that It would ultimately fall, but the probability that the' employers would offer to the "men equal control and profit sharing increased. Premier Oiollttl finally took a hand in the dis pute, inviting representatives of the employers and workers In the metal plants to meet him In Turin. Genoa became a storm center when the com munists there, led by some Russians and Hungarians, seized merchant ship ping and mounted cannofij announc ing they would fight if naval* vessels were sent. In answer t if this the gov ernment sent a squadron of battle ships and destroyers. The foreign lenders who were arrested were all In possession of large .amounts, ol money. Seizure of the land began Jn Italy when communist peasants took pos session of several large farms. As some of these belong to hlgb churcfc officials it was expected the Vatican would protest to the government and demand protection of the property. f The congressional junket party it on.'lts way home from Hie Orient, and when It arrives maybe some of th« members will be able to give the gov ermeent valuable advice on the Jap anese problem. Possibly they will not be able to do so. The probleri Is becoming acutg. both here and In Japan. Ambassador Shldehara has been authorized to conduct negotia tions direct with Secretary Colby for a new treaty or some understanding that will safeguard Japanese property holding and more clearly restrict Japanese immigration. Tokyo doubt less prefers to haveAhe trouble set tled by the present administration, 'hoping for better terms than might be agreed to by the Republicans If they win In November. Senator Harding has declared himself in feavor of the exclusion of the Japanese on the ground of racial difference. The Wil son administration still Insists on the restriction of Immigration from Ja pan, and also still phjects to Japan's occupation of the Russian half of ' gaghalln island.
