Boston. March 20.-Immediately on hearing of
the explosion at Brockton to-day, Chief Shaw
detailed Inspector Kazer to go to the scene Of
the fatality and ascertain, If possible the cause
of the accident.
az realize" said Chief Shaw, that it will be
extremely difficult TO find out the cause Of this
explosion, those handling the machinery were
either injured or killed. If thefe was an imper-
lection In the boiler It should have been dis
covered when last examined This particular
boiler was insured. and hence the inspectors of
the insurance company performed the examina-
tion. 1t remains to be what will result
from the investigation. and. If criminal negl-
gence is shown. shall take immediate steps"
The boiler was insured by the Hartford Steam
Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company of
this city. in the sum of $4,000 c. F. Roberts.
the local manager, sent two Of his inspectors to
the scene Immediately on receipt OF news of the
catastrophe.
"A crack in the lap seam of the boiler was re-
sponsible for the accident" said an expert en-
gineer of the Hartford Steam Inspection and
Insurance Company tonight. ut was practic-
ally impossible to detect the crack" said he
''as 1t was on the inside part of the lap running
beside the rivets. The continued heating of the
boiler tends to make the fiat part round like the
rest OF the boiler causing a strain on the inside
of the seam This frequently causes a crack

HIGGINS ON FORESTS.
Said to FAVOR Lac to Dispose OF
Timber-Defends Middleton.
rgx TELEGRAPH TO THE rRInUNE.l

[By TELEGRAPH THE TRIRUNE.l
Albany March 20-That the Governor would
favor a law enabling the State to dispose OF its
burned and fallen timber IN the Adirondack
preserve was evident to-day from several things
he said In discussing the recent complaints
against the Forest, Fish and Game Commission
The situation in the Adirondacks he explained,
was difficult to handle. from the fact that many
of the residents could not understand the JUS
tice of the present statute forbidding the re-
movaf of the timber from the State lands under
any circumstances whatever. For many years
it has been practice to take dead and burned
trees left in the wake of a forest fire, without
attempt at copcealrnent, confess judgment Tor
the offence and still realize profit.
Such proceedings have been recognized almost
as quasi-legal and the sentiment regarding them
is hard to- change. Complaints come from those
persons who want the Adirondacks preserved
absolutely untouched. and at present these OBJ
jections have the law behind them.
II am convinced, however" said the Governor
that Forest Commissioner Middleton Is an
honest and reliable man, who is very much dis
turbed by the state of affairs complained Of
His position is difficult one, for such depreda-
lions are hard to prevent and punish when the
sympathy of the whole region is with the Of
fender"
Governor Higgins declared that he did not
consider the letters he had received relating to
Commissioner Middleton and Chief Game Pro-
tector Pond as charges but only as complaints
and that neither of these officials had been cited
to appear before him.
