A statement issued bv the Lehinh Valley Railroad Company, after a conference between heads of all de partments here, said: (.'. "Thirteen brick storage warehouses j out of the 24 operated by the National Storage Company and : six others owned by the storage company leased by the Lehigh Valley were destroyed, oeverai oiners ot tne- nncK ware houses were badly damaged and some minor damage was done to the Lehigh Valley grain elevators. In addition, as far as known, So loaded cars were destroyed. "According to the evidence obtained by officials of the railroad company, the fire started at 1:05 this morning in a barge belonging to an independ ent towing company which had been moored alongside the railroad com- The night general yardmaster for the New York division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad was on the pier when the fire started.. He said the explos ion, which occurred at 2:08, was in the barge where the fire started. "Mr. Henley's first thought was to remove the loaded cars on the pier from the danger zone. He said that when he reached the end of the pier the barge was (burning fiercely all over and the fire was beginning to communicate itself to some of the cars nearest the' barge. "Two long cuts of cars were suc cessfully removed from the danger zone before the rapidly spreading fire engulfed the balance. Loss Is Many Millions "It has not as yet been definitely determined just what the money loss will be Some 4,000 tons of raw sugar valued at approximately $400, 000 is known to; be lost. It is believed that the other contents of the ware houses destroyed will greatly increase this amount. There were no ex plosives stored in the warehouse. Two of the cars destroyed were load ed with shrapnel, which would not have been a source of danger except for outside fire. Two other cars de stroyed were loaded principally with salt and pork. ' "The scene of the explosion and fire is in no way adjacent to the main pas senger and freight terminals of the Ihigh Valley Railroad, either at New York or Jersey City, and the mishap will not interfere.'with 'the operation of business.'' :"fb G1UD1.KR CASE IS ON TIUA1. -Ali- Nored Civilians to Death.
