. Have Been Incendiary.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12 Four hundred
thousand pounds of powder was de
stroyed by fire and explosion at the
Haskell, N. J., plant of the DuPont
Powder Company at 9:30 o'clock, to
night. .
Officials of the company declared,
after checking up the members of the
night shift at the works, that only two
men were missing. Twelve others were
cut by flying debris, but none of them
was seriously hurt. No estimate of the
loss was obtainable.
Two Explosions Terrific
There were two distinct explosions.
the force of which was terrific. Build
ings were shaken and windows shat
tered far out on Long Island and up
the Hudson River to Poughkeepsie.
The first explosion was in what is
known as "the glazing barrel." The
fire which resulted spread quickly to
the blending house and from there to
three" magazines. " One of the maga
zines blew up, but the powder in the
others was consumed by the flames.
The blazing magazines set fire to the
screening house, from which the flames
leaped across the Wanaque River and
consumed three drying houses on the
other side. At this point the fire was
checked by the efforts of the company's
employes. . '
Buildings In Tillage Shattered.
Other buildings in the plant and
many in the village, which was built
in a semi-circle around the works, were
shattered by the force of the concus
sion, which was by far the most se
vere ever experienced at Haskell. It
is feared that two men, who were em
ployed in the glazing barrel, lost their
Uvea All the doctors available were
summoned, as were the Franciscan
brothers from Butler, some distance
away.
Haskell is situated in a remote sec
tion of Passaic County, and communi
cation with it either by telephone or
telegraph ceased after the first ex
plosion. As a consequence reports of
heavy los3 of life soon were circulated
in nearby places.
. Northern New Jersey In Panic.
Following so closely upon the heels
of the destruction of the Kingsland
plant of the Canadian Car & Foundry
Company, the explosion threw all
Northern New Jersey into a panic The
sky was crimsoned by the conflagra
tion, and ihe flames were plainly vis
ible as far away as Tonkers.
The shock of the explosion was so
great that many persons in New York,
Brooklyn and New Jersey cities, 20
vmiles from Haskell, helie.verl thora va
Wen an earthquake. Strangely enough.
the concussion seemed to be less Be
yers a short distance from Haskell.
Roads leading into Haskell in all dl
rections soon were filled with convey
ances of every kind, carrying physi
clans, nurses, policemen and -firemen.
Terror-stricken women living in near
by communities whose husbands were
employed at Haskell made frantic ef
forts to force their way past the guards,
and it was long after the explosions
before they were convinced that few.
if any, perished.
Thursday 'a Fire Loss f 16,000,000.
A statement thai the fire and explo
sions which wrecked the plant of the
Canadian Car & Foundry Company at
Kingsland, N. J-, yesterday was "pos
sibly if not probably of incendiary
origin," was issued here today by the
officials of the company. The total
loss, it was said, was $16,000,000.
Of this total, $10,000,000 consisted of
shells and explosives owned by the
Russian government. The rest was in
destroyed property of the Canadian Car
& Foundry Company, of which half was
covered by Insurance.
Until investigation is completed no
further statement will be made as to
what evidences of incendiarism have
been found, it was said by an officer
of the company. . . .
Accidents Reduced to Minimum.
It was explained the danger of fire
or explosions from purely accidental
causes was reduced to a minimum by
the fact that no completed ordnance
was on hand at the plant. The officer
eald the propelling charges for the
shells were not attached until they
reached the battlefield and that the
same was true of the detonating caps
by whichhe trlnitroutoluol In the shell
bodies is exploded.
The explosions heard during the fire,
he eald. were caused by the melting and
expansion from the heat of the trlni
troutoluol blowing off the temporary
caps screwed in. the place for the do
toasting cap . .

STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan. 13.
(Special.) When the new "bone dry"
prohibition law goes tiefore the House
early next week It will reflect the com
posite opinions of the leading dry ad
vocates In the Legislature.
The measure will be drafted by Dr.
J. E. Anderson, chairman of the House
committee, and B. L. Eddy, of the Sen
ate committee on alcoholic t raffia.
xJr. Anderson will Introduce It in
the House, and it will be referred to
his committee. The committees of the
two houses then will hold a series of
joint sessions to which the public will
be invited. Everyone with suggestions
or amendments to offer will be heard.

"We don't propose to use undue haste

prohibit the importation of alcohol for

The same bill will carry ample re

The almost promiscuous sale of alcohol

weakness of the existing law.
Bill Not to Be Hurried.
"Various friends ef the prohibition
movement have been working consci

last two months on proposed bone dry

from this Information, but we don't

are divided on It.
