3 INJURED IN EXPLOSION
AT DYNAMITE WORKS.
Occupants of Building at Pompton Have
Clothes Torn to Shreds-Building
Demolished-No Fatalities.


PATTERSON, Dec. S.-Nothing but a
few pieces of scrap iron and timber re-
main of the mixing room building and
boiler and engine-house of the Vesuvius
Dynamite Works, a new concern which
started the manufacture of dynamite
at Riyerdale, near Pompton, a few
months ago.
An explosion which took place yes
terday wrecked the two buildings com-
pletely. while three employees were
badly burned. No one was killed.
The injured are: DR.. Romano, of
Brooklyn. N. Y, chemist of the COM
pany; Emil Romano, also of Brooklyn,
and son of and assistant to the chem
list; William Cooke, of Pompton, en-
ployed as a powder maker. Emil Ro-
maine escaped with less dangerous in
iuries than did the other two.
Immediately after the explosion en-
ployees at Arthur w. Bishops iron
mines, which are nearby, went to the
scene of the disaster and rendered as
sistance to the injured men. Tele-
phone calls were sent to Pompton Lakes
for physicians.
The three injured men were found
a short distance from where stood the
mixing mill. Every shred of clothing
had been torn from the body of the
doctor, while the other men were IL
little better condition as to raiment.
All three were badly bruised.
DR.. Romano said he believed the ex-
plosion to be due to frozen water sup
ply pipes which run into the mixing
room.

SCREEN LAW DEAD
PATERSON ALDERMEN FAIL
TO PASS ORDINANCE.
Bishops Law Provision Neglected and
Councilmen Are Liable to Indict-
ment-Warned by Court.

PATTERSON, Dec. 3.-The ordinance
complying with the provisions of the
Bishops law and directing ~saloonkeep-
ers to remove screens n other OBJ
structions TO a clear view of the inte-
rior of their places of business on Sum
days, which was introduced in the
Board of Aldermen many months ago,
is dead.
This was the decision of President
Roegiers of the Board of Aldermen at
the meeting of that body last night.
when Alderman Young moved that the
ordinance be taken up and passed to
third reading. The aldermen failed to
lay over the ordinance at the last meet
ing.
The Bishops law provides that boards
of aldermen or other licensing bodies
"shall' pass an ordinance requiring all
screens removed on Sundays.
The local board never passed such an
ordinance, and a year ago Judge Pit
ney directed the attention of the Grand
Jury to this fact and informed them
that the law made 1t compulsory for
the aldermen to pass such an ordi-
nance.
This action on the part of the judge
awoke the city fathers to the danger
of Indictment and an ordinance en-
bodying the provisions of the Bishops
law was introduced and passed to sec
ond reading. After it had been read a
second time it vas laid over for the
purpose of permitting the clerk te
have copies of the ordinance printed
and distributed among the aldermen
For some reason these copies were
never printed, and the ordinance was
apparently forgotten. The Grand Jury
seeing that the city fathers had taker
the initial steps for h passage o.
the ordinance. lid not take the mat
ter up.

There is no movement more emphati-

through this movement of yours for

forest service are directly adapted to
help the small man make and main
tain a prosperous home; and they are
doing it. These services were recently

at is matter of sincere satisfac-
ton to learn that you will not coniine
yourselves to questions of irrigation

vastly important as these are to every
citizen Of the United States. l am glad
to know that you will give attention
also to that problem of which forestry
and irrigation and water conservation
