DEATH LIST
THIRTY=EIGHT
Injured Six Hundred and Loss to
Property $75O,OOO

Fontanet, Ind, Oct. 17.-The
latest estimate of destruction wrought
by the explosi on at the Du Pont
powder mills is that SO persons we're
killed, 600 injured, so seriously in
jured, aud property loss of approx
mately $3.50, 600 caused. From a
workman employed in the glazing
mill 1t was learned yesterday that a
"hot box" due To too much friction
on the shaftinR, causing sparks to be
transmitted to some loose powder,
was in all probability the cause Of
the terrible catastrophe. The en-
ploye. whose name is William Spar
row, and who is dangerously hurt as
the result of the explosion, said:
1.-THE explosion was caused by
loose boxing on the ahafting. The
day before the explosion happened
we had to throw water on the boxing
when it became too hot. This time
it got too hot and sent off the sparks
that caused the explosion.

Chicago, Oct. I7.-Opponents Of
President Samuel J. Small Of the

insist that be is planning TO apply
for an injunction to prevent the
executive board from ousting him.
Small denies that he has applied for
an injunction, bat says he still is
president, and the board had not the
right to depose him and will not be
able to depose him. This 10 the
status of the case last night, with the
officials Of the union engaged In q
bitter warfare among themselves.
Meanwhile there are reports that de
sertions are becoming more pro-
noucned, az operators are disguised
with the action Of the leaders
Charges of graft and falsehood were
living thick and fast last night, and
II is difficult to discover just who Is
talking with authority or what there
Is in the charges. Secretary Russell
says that at the Milwaukee meeting
leased wire operators will be called
out. Many Of the leased wire oper.
ators say they will not come out, and
the situation is up In the air, with
no means Of finding out Just what Ia
doing OF what is to be done.
