NEW YORK, Sept. 21 "Wait for
Sixteen"!
The rattlesnake never strikes
without a warning. Neither does
the anarchist. The warning may be
vague. It may be deceptive. It
may be obscure. Cut it always
comes.
This time the warning was:
"Wait for Sixteen:" It w,as passed
from mouth to mouth. It was
scrawled upon fences.
Word of it reached the police.
Department of Justice ap-nts
learned of if.
-But what is Sixteen?" they
asked.
The answer canif on the sixteenth
-f this month a terrific explosion
in the h;irt of Xew York's finan
cial district, on Wall Street, be
tween tli" buiirlinirs of .1. T. Jor

NEW YORK Relief workers and ambulances arrived on tne scene within a few moments after the explosion in

FIVE THEORIES ON WALL STREET EXPLOSION CAUSE
i
WAS S TIMC BOMB
PLANTED IN A WAGON
OR DID A TRUCK LOADED
WITH rVPLOlVC COLLlDr,
IV1TH AN AUTOMOBILE ?
OR WAS A BOMb
THROW FROM A
BO)L.DICOG ?
Ol? DID ACKF1T?C FROM
AN AUTO CAUSE THtL.
ITXPLOS-ION ?
OH? WAS T THE
OF ORGANIZED
PLOT
"THE RATTLESNAKE NEVER ST RIKES WITHOUT WARNING!"
Many were kilied ami hundreds
were injured to make, from all ap
pearances, an "anarchist holiday."
There are those who believe that
the explosion was aceidrntal.
The authorities, however,
convinced that It was not an acci
dent. Most of them think a timn
bomb of TXT was planted K; th
wgaon that stopped under th
Morgan offices just before noon.
Other theories are that the Mast
was part of a plot of robbers who
planned to rob the Moruan offices
and the I'nited States treasury
branch during the confusion, that
an autoniobiio collided with
wagon containing the explosive;-,,
and that a homli was thrown from
the roof of one of thi Luildinp-.
nearby. Kvidenecs of a b"mh or
itifernal machine have been foun
iBut the most convirning evid-rc
of all, and the one which brought
about the arrest of the first s'Jr
pect, was the waminc-thi "ratt'.e'
that never falls.
