two-score injured are the latest figures
tonight as the result of the explosion OF
nitroglycerin to-day in the mixing house
Of the Du Pont Powder Works at So
-~brante, eighteen miles north Of Berkeley.
Many of the injured will die.
In addition. scores Of persons thrown
into a panic by the terrible detonation
and shock when three tons OF the ex-
plosive went up, were injured.
In surrounding towns the first idea was
that another earthquake had struck the

sponsible for the injuries of many.
All Buildings wrecked.
The Westinghouse, wash-house, and acid
separating house were wrecked by the
explosion. A moment later. the debris
from the building burst into flames.
Three employees are said TO have been
burned to death in the separating house.
Two OF the dead. Richard Thompson and
William Deane. were in the mixing-hOuse.
Their bodies We're shattered to bits and
the pieces scattered over a wide area.
Everywhere around the bay. where the
shock was felt, the idea prevailed that
another earthquake was rocking the Cold
en- Gate. People rushed franticany from
houses and business buildings into the
streets It was hours before all could be
pacified.
Panic IN Canning Factory.
A panic in a canning factory in this
city is responsible for many of the cas-
ualties directly due 10 the explosion.
When the building shook, hundreds of
employees made a dash for the doors.
The stairs became choked. and men and
women were trampied and crushed.
Men in one of the stairways drew
knives and literally cut a way Of es-
cape through the ranks Of their fellows.
In another narrow stairway, 500 women
were caught because the doors were
closed. Those in front were crushed and
trampled by the frightened hundreds be-
hind, who fought 70 reach the stairs.
