DRUNKEN DRIVERS

Five citizens convicted of

fellow has his innings, and is
just as apt as not to make a
good batting average. When
anyone assumes to monopo

prises are usually in store

Flying fragments from the maga

new explosions followed, giving
members of the navy post who were
present no chance to escape. Fire
and fear of further explosions
made rescue work very dangerous.
Scores wore slightly or seriuusly
Injured. Ambulances were sent to
remove the Injured from a 25-mlle
zone.
Dover, Boontown, Caldwell, But
ler and other towna of New Jersey
within a wide radius of Lake Den
mark were shaken, and houses were
rocked as If there were an earth
quake. The first explosion took place
at 6:20 p. m. It was reported to
have destroyed the arsenal number
three.

Fifteen minutes Inter there was
a second explosion. At C:4S o'clock
a third blast followed,
All threw wreckage over a wide
space and did grant damage.
After a third blast, smaller ex

enough to shake the couqtryslde.

buildings In practically all of which
were stored puwdor and high ex

for more injured. The American
Legion headquarters made arrange

time. When their facilities wero
exhausted privuto families offered
their homes.
Difficulty In checking possible
dead was due to the fact that no
one could approach nearer Ihani
half a mile lo tho scene of the act
ual explosions.
Thcro' were unconfirmed reports'
that as many as 50 marines and 76;
navy officers and men might have
perished or been so seriously wound-'
ed that they could not escape as a:
result of the nnval depot blast.
Kyc-WtlivHS Tells Hlory I
At 10 p. m. five hours after lhc!
explosion, shrapnel waa still ex
ploding, sending nrrenmlng frng-j

to the Intense heat, the thick smoke I
and the fall of dust from the apent

Private E. C. Morris, who was
off duty when Ihe explosion took
place, expressed the belief that tho
ofricers and ninny of tho men and
their families probably had been
killed.
"Captain Howling. -Lieut. Schro
