BURNED IN
MOTION METAL
Horrible Death to Workers
in Steel COmpany'S
furnace Rooms.

BUTLER, Pa, Oct Am explosion
caused by the upsetting of the metal
pot in the No. / cupola of the Stan
dard Steel company yesterday caused
the death of four men, fatally injured
20 and seriously hurt 20 others. Nearly
all the men we're foreigners. The large
wheel plant was demolished, causing
loss estimated at 100000.
The dead: Nick Dornaud, Nicholas
Blotar, John Verram, unidentified man.
The condition of the 40 men injured
is pitiable. Although still alive, the
features of a majority are mutilated
beyond recognition. The hot mete;
was showered over them, causing hor-
rible injuries.
Arms, fingers and ears were torn off
and a number of men lost eyes burned
out Several men are in the hospital
with their legs burned into a crisp.
The explosion was caused by the
upsetting of a metal pot in the cupola
which contained 5000 pounds of mol
ten metal, ready for casting. A span
of the pot broke, allowing the liquid
iron to spill over the wet sand. An
explosion followed so quickly that not
one of the workmen in the building
had chance to escape. Streams of
the burning metal poured out on the
workmen, some of whom were engulf-
ed and literally cooked. Twenty men
near the cupola had every shred of
clothing blown off by the explosion.
Many were buried under the wreclkage

| shivered from the force of the explo-
sion as if shaken by an earthquake,
and people rushed from their homes
panic stricken.
| When flames shot from the burning

to the scene, blocking the streets and
interfering with fire companies and
| ambulances. Through lack of room
many of the injured were compelled to
lie naked for an hour or more on cots
in the street cars, before reaching the
hospitals.
At the gate of the car plant, mer
! and women struggled frantically tc
gain admission and were kept out only
by the assistance of a force of police
men. In the crush, many women were
injured and their cries of pain and an
guish could be heard blocks away.
The car wheel plant was finished
last year at a cost of 100000. The
wrecked cupola alone cost 100000 This

new SHOPS FOR
SALT LAKE
Short Line Plans to Manu-
facture Cars For GrOw-

SALT LAKE, Oct. THE perish
oble freight business of the Oregon
Short Line is becoming so heavy that
the advisability of building it's own re-
frigerator cars Is being seriously COM
sidered. In fact it is believed by many
of the officers Of the company that
steps in this direction will be neces-
sary in order to, be able to handle the
increasing business in this line of
traffic. During the past two weeks
agents of the company have been look

Ogden in order to decide which of the
two cities offers the most advantage
Gus facilities for such an addition to
the company's construction works.

SESSION

LANSING. Mich, Oct THE Mich
igan legislature assembled in special
session today pursuant to the call re-
unity issued by Governor Warner
Several matters are to be given con-
s ideration by the session but by far the
most important will be the renewal of
the fight on the primary law relative
to the elimination of the 40 per cent
provision.
The present law provides that to Sc
cure the nominations for governor and
lieutenant governor. the party candi-
dates must secure 40 per cent of the
enrolled vate otherwise the nominal
tons revert to the state convention. 1t
is on this that Governor Warner is
making his fight and it is generally
conceded that his failure to carry his
point will greatly lessen his chances
of securing another nomination for the
governorship.
| The governor takes the ground that
| il is just as fair and feasible to NOM
| mate state officers by plurality vote as
| it is to nominate congressman and
county officials.

1.-THE new autotractor has many
points of great merit. In reality it is a

lighter than the old engine, which had
to carry huge timbers as protectors for
country bridges. The car now in use
weighs only 4,10O pounds and is of 80

oline, alcohol or kerosene. 1t has two

and the higher one for the road. II

After disposal of routine matters,
Senator Coolho brought up the matter
OF the Lanai land exchange.
Judge Mckay took the floor and ex-
pressed himself strongly against the
proposed land exchange. lie thought
the sale of the land would deprive the
Territory of quite tidy annual sum In
the shape of rents as ii was TO be ex-
changed for non-reyenuc producing
property, and on general principles
such tracts of government lands should
be held for settlers who would take up
| said lands for homcstcadg and the re-
aulting business from home builders
would be of more benefit to the country
at large than the present plans.
Editor II. NJ. Coke of the Maui News
Pald that the reason for opposing the
exchange rs not so much in the giving
OF the land to one individual as In the
object OF 1t. II was simply case of
taking the value of public lands located
IN the County of Maui for the benefit of
honolulu schools, nothing In It for
Maui schools. 1t was a case of all for
Honolulu and nothing for Maui. The
matter was then referred to the execu-
i've committee of the Association.
