GIBBSTOWN. N. J., May 15. At least
14 men were killed and about SO injured
today In a terrific explosion at the
Repauno plant or the Du Pont Powder
Company, near here. The blast occurred
in the building; in which trinitrololuol
is manufactured, and wrecked that
structure and three others. The iden
tified dead:
W. F. Lowley, -Woodbury, N.- J.,- as
sistant superintendent of the trinitro
loluol plant.

Bernard Keller, Paulsboro.
Some of the injured were taken to a
hospital In Camden and other places,
while about a score, who received
minor wounds, were treated by physi
cians at the powder plant.
Explosion Cause la Mystery.
The cause of the explosion is not
known, and, according to officials of
the company, may never be ascertained,
as all those "believed to have been in
the building where the first explosion
occurred are dead.
Trinitrololuol is not considered an
explosive risk, and company officials
believe it caught fire before exploding.
.This blast caused a nearby building.
In which -nitro-bensolls- was manufac
tured, to blow up. Bo great was the
force that two buildings some distance
away, in which huxite was manufac
tured, wero wrecked, but the explosive
did not go off.
Many of those killed and injured
were outside the buildings involved,
and were either killed or hurt by flying
debris. Other workmen promptly went
to the rescue, and ambulance calls
were Bent into various surrounding
towns. The wildest rumors prevailed
as to the number of dead, but the com
pany was unable to give the number
killed until all the employes had been
checked up.
Identification la Difficult.
Some of the dead were so badly man
gled that Identification was difficult.
Two of the dead remain unidentified,
and two other workmen are missing
and- believed dead by the company
officials.
Trinitrololuol and nltro-benzol are
used in filling shells and mines. The
buildings in which they were produceu
were of frame construction.
The Repauno plant of the Du Ponts
consists of 3000 or 4000 acres on which
there are 800 small buildings. About
2000 men are employed. Of many
other recent explosions at the Du Pont
plants, the most serious were those of
November 30, 1915, and January 10, of
this year. In the first of these, at
Lower Hagley, near Wilmington, Del.
30 men and boys were killed and six
seriously injured. On January 10 the
explosion was at the Carneys Point
plant. It cost the lives of three me
Investigations seeking to prove that
the explosions were caused by spies
were unsuccessful.

CHICAGO, 111.. May 15. (Special.)
Arrival today of James B. Reynolds,
secretary of tne Republican National
Committee, who opened headquarters
in the Coliseum, brought the center of
the G. O. P. campaign to Chicago.
Secretary Reynolds found awaiting
him a sackful of mail, and incidentally
made a discovery.
T found." said Mr. Reynolds, "that
there are about a dozen candidates for
the Republican nomination for Presi
dent of whom I never heard before.
Candidates,, you know, are entitled to
convention tickets. Two hundred are
usually set aside for them. It was the
requests of these men for tickets to the
convention that surprised me. I recall
the name of one, Adams of Virginia.
Did anyof you gentlemen ever know
that he was a candidate?"
William Grant Webster Gets Ticket.
William Grant Webster, of Chicago,
is one of those for whom Mr. Reynolds
will have to supply tickets. Mr. Web
ster, without an organization or a bar
rel, has been a candidate for some time.
Official figures of the Ohio primary
furnished politicians in that state
showed him running second to Theo
dore Burton, the Buckeye state's favor
ite son. The figures follow: Burton,
122,165: Webster. 14,217; Theodor
Roosevelt. 1932; Henry Ford. 1683;
Charles E. Hughes. 469; Warren G.
Harding. 211. .
One of the first things Mr. Reynolds
had to take up was the dual delegate
question. Seats for only 991 delegates
have been provided. Of these, two
each from Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippines have no votes unless by
permission of the convention. In two
Virginia districts they wanted to send
two delegates with half a vote each in
stead of one. This would require two
more seats. Tennessee and Kentucky
decided to send eight delegates-at-large
instead of four, but picked no alter
nates, which would not require any ex
tra seats.
Demand la Unprecedented.
The demand for tickets is unprece
dented. Seats have been provided for
12,400 persons in the convention hall
and. although the convention is three
weeks away, 40,000 applications have
been received for tickets of admission.

cavation for a new building directly
north of the restaurant, unsettled the
foundation. The restaurant was a one
story structure, with a two-story false

Sir Roger Casement Is
Striking Prisoner.
ACCUSATION IS HEARD CALMLY
Prosecutor First Relates For
mer Service to King.
REVOLT STORY FOLLOWS
Private Soldier Is Titled Prisoner
Companion in Dock 'While Ke-i-ritltlng
of Rebels in Pris
on Camps Is Told.
LONDON. May 15. The writing of a
new chapter of the history of the Sinn
Fein rebellion was begun today when Sir
Roger Casement, knighted In 1911 for
services to the British government, and
Daniel Julian Bailey, an Irish soldier.
one of his companions on the Ill-fated
submarine trip from Germany to Ire
land were placed in the Jock of the
Bow-street police court for preliminary
examination on the charge of high
treason.
While considerable testimony Intro
duced by the crown tended to incrimi
nate Bailey, the main attack of the
prosecution was directed against Case
ment In an endeavor to enmesh him in
a net of evidence which, would estab
lish without question the leading part
it la claimed he played in the con
spiracy, whose ramifications extended
even to Amerca.
Kyea Center on Caienient.
Casement himself was the object of
all eyes during the day. It was evi
dent that no ordinary prisoner was
before the bar. for de.-ptte the unkept
condition of his clothing, he made a
striking figure, with neatly trimmed
beard and hair brushed well back from
a high forehead, underneath which
were the Jeep-set eyes of the dreamer.
Casement busied himself taking
notes. Indicating that he Intended to
have a hand In the presentation of
his defense. He waa always self-possessed
and as the case wore ou began
to assume considerable assurance.
The testimony developed few thrill,
the prosecution devoting Its attention
to showing how Casement carried on '
the alleged recruiting for his Irish
brigade In German prison camps.
Service to Klna; Itrlated.
The most dramatic part of the whole
proceeding was the address of the Attorney-General.
Sir Frederick E. Smith,
who outlined Sir Roger Casement's
former services to his country, told
of the honor bestowed on the prisoner
by his King and then shifted abruptly
to the details of the conspiracy hatched
in Germany.
It was during bis address that the
Attorney-General introduced a lettel
written by Casement, thanking Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British Secretary for
Foretrn Affairs, for the knighthood
conferred upon him in recognition of
his Pututnayo services! In his letter
Casement suid:
"I am deeply grateful to you for this
singular assurance of your personal In
terest. I am very deeply sensible of
the honor done me by His Majesty and
would beg that my humble duty may
be presented to His Majesty when you
can do me the honor of conveying: to
him my deep appreciation of the honor
that ho has beer so generously rl'-asrd
to confer upon me."
Hehel Klaa; Displaced.
The Attorney-General introduced an
other striking feature whtn he paused
In hla speech to produce in court the
flair which It is asserted Casement and
his companions brought from Germany
to Ireland. This was the emblem of
revolt a green flag with a yellow
castle upon it and under the castle th
motto:
"Urbe Anttqua Fuit Studiisque As
perima Belli."
Casement's attorneys made little at
tempt at cross-examination today, but
several times questioned the witnesses
as to why Casenient wished them to
join the Irish brigade. The point of
the questions seemed to be to show
that the freedom of Ireland 'was the
enly thing involved and t-'iat the bri
gade was not to attempt to assist Ger
many. Daniel O'Brien, another prisoner, said
that after Casement left Limbers re
cruiting for the Irish brigade was rar
ried on by an American priest named
Nicholson.
Caneraeat Hooted by Captive.
"While most of the testimony of th
day concerned Casement, an occasional
question was put by tho prosecution
for the purpose of linking Bailey with
the revolutionary movement. V'it-
nesses answered that they saw him at
Limberg In the uniform of the Irish
brigade.
Casement was busy taking notes.
Bailey sat in the dock like a stone man.
scarcely ever changing bU rigid po
sition. Michael O'Connor testified, in refer
ence to an address by Casement to
Irish prisoners at Limbers that tho
prisoner said to men who hooted him.
"You are followers of that recrultintr

Redmond."
