Four of the secret service men who

servants about the car generally are
armed and there is no limit to the care
taken.
General Superintendent H. j. Slifer Of
Chicago, of the Rock Island, is respon-

members of the secret service Of the

When the Burlington fast mail entered

Three were corralled and turned over to
the local police.

carrying liquid relief to suffering ones
exposed to the weather. From 10 to

crowd sat shivering but good humored
and seemed to forget all about the cold
when the president, bowling from side

keep warmer by standing and discarded
their chairs. They stood with hands

Elaborate precautions to guard the

EXPLOSION KILLS N|N[
Works of Cresson Powder Com
pany, Near Williamsburg,
Wrecked by Dynamite
MANY WOMEN CUT AND BURNED
Fourteen Men and Sixteen Women
Were Employed In the Factory, But
All the Latter Managed to Escape
Feared That Worse Explosions Are
Yet to come-Factory on Fire.

Hollidaysburg, Pa, April 30.-The
plant of the Cresson Powder Works.
owned by Pittsburg capitalists and To-
Gated on Piney creek ten miles south of
this town, was wrecked by an explo-
sion today. Eight workmen were killed.
The buildings caught fire immediate
ly after the explosion and are still
burning.
The dead are:
Ross Kennedy
Charles Ross.
George Fay.
Tony Fabrico. an Arabian.
William Lyons.
William Frank McKirnan.
Fisher Lantzer.
Frank Straesser
Andrew Gabriilac.
Superintendent Harry Taggart, of
Pittsburg, the only man who escaped.
The powder factory is located In re-
mote portion of the county. The details
are unobtainable at present.
E In the magazines and store houses OF
the factory are fourteen hundred blocks
of explosives and it is feared the great
est explosions are yet 10 come. The
Piney creek branch Of the Pennsylvania
railroad runs past the factory and be-
cause of the danger the railroad COM
pany has refused to allow trains to pass
over the branch. Fourteen men and
sixteen women were employed In the
factory which was destroyed. The
women managed to escape from the
building before the explosion came that
hurled their fellow workmen into eter-
nifty. All are cut and badly burned.
The force Of the explosion was so great
that it wrecked all the buildings in the
vicinity and broke the windowpanes in
towns fifteen miles away. A rescuing
party has gone from Williamsburg to
the scene Of death and destruction.
The cause of the explosion is mys-
terry. The nine men killed were blown,
to lfeces. ReHsains have been brought
Ito Williamsburg. Because of the I'm
,nense quantity Of dynamite stored in
the plant the rescuing party dares not
approach the fire for fear of another
explosion.
