Jury Calls Explosion
Unavoidable Accident

''We. the jury, believe Abraham Whit
ley came to his death from burns about
the body in the Potomac Electric Power
plant on last Wednesday. We further
believe the SAID injuries were received
in an unavoidable accident"
This was the verdict Of the coroner's
Jury. which held an inquest at the
morgue AT 10 o'clock this morning over
the body of one of the victims OF the
steam explosion in the power house
at Fourteenth and 3 streets northwest.
Wednesday afternoon.
Unanimous on Cause.
From the testimony of experts on
steam, boilers. and engines. the jury
came to the conclusion that the acci-
dent was-due 10 water hammer. and
that there was no possible way by
which the explosion could have been
avoided
Water hammer" according to the
experts. is the accumulation Of water
in steam pipes The steam passing
through the pipes backs the water into
a dange or the end Of the pipe and an
explosion follows So the accident oc-
cured at the power house Wednesday.

demonstrated to the jury how the acct acct

over his scalded hands, explained the
working Of each piece, showing how the
pipe leading to the hange was screwed
in bv machinery and the end a1terWaTd
bent over TO prevent jamming or slip
pins.
"Water Hammer Did It.
sI think" said the witness. that
there was an accumulation of water in
the pipes, causing what is known as
water hammer The steam and water
finally found weak spot in the fange-
The pressure in the pipes and fiange
was 100 times greater than ever in
tended.
The witness said there was no warn
ing of the accident He said the steam
usually blew of through the safety
valves when a pressure Of $50 pounds
was reached. but this did not occur on
wednesday because the pressure reach
ed too high mark at the explosion
for the indicators to register II.
Inspector Agrees.
Boiler Inspector Vermillion said the
explosion was due to water hammer.
This" said Mr.. vermillion, 'is the
accumulation of steam and water in
the pipes You have heard rafting
sound in the pipes in q steam radia-
tor. That is water hammer.
Water pressure means that water
has accumulated in a pipe. The steam,
in trying TO get by the water, forces
it to one OF the aanges and an explosion
Fire Marshal Nicholson corroborated
the boiler inspector.
