Oil company tanker Richfield,

was being swept by waves that
rose against the ship from an ap

Oil was pouring from the Rich-

an explosion more than danger of
her position caused abandonment
of the ship. Captain Henry Lee
and his crew of 27 were taken
ashore by the patrol cutter

at Point Reyes.
A disabled rudder was blamed
for the wreck. The day was clear
and the sea favorable to safe navigation.
The vessel left here this morn

was ashore and requested assist
ance. The Red Stack tug Sea Ro

ST. JOSEPH, Mo., May 8. ( AP) About 15 persons,

today in an explosion that demolished the smoke house of
Armour & Co. packing plant in South St. Joseph.
Seven were known to be dead and nine injured. Three
were missing in the wreckage and it was believed seven to
nine were trapped and killed.
The entire six story building was wrecked. It appeared
as if the structure had been-
lifted and then settled down.
While the cause of the blast
was undetermined police and
fire department officials ad
vanced the theory that huge am
monia tanks In the building had
exploded.
No fire followed the explosion
but choking ammonia fumes
spread through the wreckage gas
sing the trapped victims.
Thirty five girls were employed
on the fifth floor. Virtually all
of them were believed to have
left the building before it was
torn asunder.
Chief of Police Earl Mathews
expressed the belief that ammonia
gas had caused the blast.
Not more than three of the em

known to have escaped unhurt.
Most of the injured were terribly
crushed and burned.
The body of an unidentified
girl was taken from the wreckage

NANKING, May 8 (AP)
Severe fighting took place today
with heavy casualties, as the
northern military alliance began
Its drive toward Nanking, capital
of the nationalist government of
China. Five thousand wounded na
tionalists arrived at Suchow from
the battle fronts and 2,000 others
wounded were reported being tak
en to this city. The number of na
tionalists killed was kept secret
by the censor. Northern casual
ties were unknown.
Directed by Yen Hsi-Shan, gov
ernor of Shansi province and head
of the rebel "national" govern
ment and M''l ajEfOF Tu-Hsl-ang,
the northern troops engaged
the nationalist (Nanking) govern
ment forces along the railway 50
miles west of Suchow, Klangsu
province.
The few details permitted to
come through in dispatches appar
ently indicated the government
forces were seriously menaced by
seasoned troops of Yen and Feng,
trained In the revolt of last No
vember and December. Facing the
foe were the flower of the nation
alist armies.
The rebels met with some suc
cess In cutting nationalist com
munications with the Nanking
capital as they swung around to
the nationalist rear and cut the
railroad SO miles south of Suchow.
Another major engagement oc
curred in western Shantung prov
ince as Shansi rebel troops heav-
Uy attacked the nationalists
north ot the Kweiteh-Suchow bat
tle front. An attempt seemed to
be in progress to envelop the na
tionalists In Suchow.

warrant giving a bad check to A.
