SLAUGHTER HOUSE
 BLOWS UP, KILKS 5
AMMONIA PIPE ExPLoDEs IN AR MoUR 6 CO.'S PLANT-A SCORE OVERCOME BY THE DEADLY FUMEs-soME MEN MISSING.

Chicago, May 23-Five workmen were killed and a dozei others seriously injured this afternoon when an ammonia pipe ex- ploded in the beef killing department of Armour & Co.'S plant at the stock yards. The building was full of workmen at the time and the deadly fumes escaping from under high pressure penetrated through every department in the building in such a short time that twenty of the men were overcome before they could escape All but five of these men were dragged from the place by their companions in such a serious condition that 1t was necessary to take them to a hospital.
 An ineffectual effort to search for dead in the interior of the building was made by employees wearing safety masks, but they were driven back by the fumes and it was not until six hours after the ex- plosion that the first body, that of an un- identified man, burned beyond recogni- tion, was taken from the fourth floor. few minutes later four other bodies were found, all of them having been burned in horrible manner.
 A search of the plant is still being made, as all of the men have not as yet been definitely accounted for. All the dead and injured were foreigners.

BAPT|STS ADJOURNI
 GREAT CONVENTION Speeches of Negroes Applauded
 By Southern Delegates
OFFICERS ARE ELECTED
Feature of the Convention Is Presenta- ton of History of the Church. BrotherIy Love the Main
 of the Religion.

Norfolk, May 2S.-The Baptist conven- tion of North America. composed of the Baptist conventions north and south and delegates representing the negro Baptist National convention, adjourned sine die this afternoon. The convention is de- cared to have been one of the greatest successes.
 The speeches of four negro delegates in attendance received the plaudits of south ern delegates. It wasthe first time in the history of the south that white Baptists had met with negro churchmen, but there was not the least i'll feeling, and the convention was one of brotherly love and good fellowship. Officers were elected as followed:
 President A. 1T. Strong, New York, president of the Rochester Theological seminary; first vice president, J. Taylor Ellison, lieutenant governor of Virginia; second vice president, Charles 10. Hughes, governor of New York; third vice presi- dent, A. l.. Crimmon, Canada; recording secretary, Thomas D. Osborne, Kentucky; treasurer, E. NJ. Thresher, Ohio. The ex- ecutive committee includes the following members: J. N. Prestridge, Kentucky; J. B. Gambrill, Texas; T. T. Eaton, Ken lucky; w. w. Landrum, Georgia; E. Y. Mullins, Kentucky; R. H. Pitts, Virginia, and E. c. Morris, Arkansas
 The address of Mullins, president of the Baptist Theological seminary at Louis vile, Ky, on 'The Contribution of tho Baptists to American Civilization" was the feature of todays session of the con- vention.
 A feature of the convention was the de- termination that followed the presenta- ton by a delegate from South Carolina to a delegate from Maine, for the Kittery church of history of the beginning of the Baptist church in America. Kittery, Me. was referred to as the fountain of the Baptist religion, and the book con- tained much of interest about the origin of the church at that place. It was &C., cepted by Dr. A. B. Ilorlmer of Bangor, as the joining link between the New England and south and when the incl dent had closed, President Stephens sug- gested that the salute be given.
 Every delegate. man and woman, in the big hall arose, waved their handker- chiefs and joined in singing Blessed Be The Tie That Binds" Just prior to this presentation the delegate from Canada re- quested the delegates to visit the Cana dian building at the close of the session and sing God Save the King under the Union Jack. The request met the ap- proval of the convention. Among the most important resolutions adopted to- day was one endorsing the movement to erect G Baptist theological seminary in Russia and the effort to raise $100,000 with which to do the work.
 The two resolutions offered last night were adopted today
