PACKING HOUSE IN KANSAS CITY
SUFFERS IN-RLAzE.
conflasratlon Follows an Explosion
Which Is Felt Over Both the
Neiehboring Cities.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 1.-Two
laborers lost their lives, two others
were seriously injured and property
loss estimated at between $250,000
and $350,000 was caused by two
explosions followed by a fire in
the packing house OF Morris &
Co.. at the riverside in Kansas
City, Kan, Friday. The force Of the
explosions, which was felt all over
both Kansas Cities, ruined the cold
storage building, and the fire that fol-
lowed destroyed the smoke house with
Its contents.
An explosion of sewer gas resulted
when water man in one of the cold
storage departments lighted match.
This was followed by another and
much more serious explosion caused
by the igniting Of a quantity of
ammonia, and stubborn fire soon
started.
The Morris plant is located near the
channel of the Kaw river, and being
in the center of the flooded district is
In swift current of water from six
to eight feet deep. This condition
made the task of fighting the lire
most difficult, and it required five
hours to place the flames under con-
troll. For time the entire plant
seemed doomed. Fire apparatus was
transported to the scene after much
delay by fiat cars. There were 80
men In the plant when the explosions
occurred. but all except four escaped.
Two Of these were instantly killed and
others badly mangled. 1t Is impos-
sible at this time to estimate the loss
on the meat destroyed, but that on the
buildings is estimated at 100000.

HITCHCOCK RELEASED ON BAIL.

saulting Young Girl.

New York, June 12.-Raymond
Hitchcock, the comedian, who early
Thursday was acquitted on one of
four indictments growing out Of
charges made against him by several
young girls, was released from the
Tombs prison on bail Thursday. A

assault and abduction of Helen Won
Hagen and were Incorporated in the
case In which Hitchcock was acquit-

Roosevelt" At once demonstration
began. Several of the delegates
jumped upon chairs and waved their
hats, calling upon others to do like
wise. North Carolina, Texas, West
Virginia and Alabama led the cheer
ing, while the applause was general on
floor and in balcony.
Tariff Reference Is Brief.
Senator Burrows referred but brief
ly to the question of tariff revision,
his statement that the revision, If
made, would not be such as to extin-
guish the fire in single American
mill or deny just and adequate protec-
ton to American industry and labor,
being the signal for the applause of
his hearers. The allusion to Secretary
Cortelyou in that portion Of the ad-
dress relating to the recent financial
disturbance brought out few hand
claps, but only a few as the speakers
voice was not carrying far. Senator
Burrows is not rapid-fire talker and
after talking for 40 minutes he had
gone through just one-half Of the adj
dress. Such portions Of his great au-
diencs as were able to hear him were
still attentive but in the farther por-
lions Of the hall some restlessness was
apparent and few spectators at odd
moments filtered through the door
ways to the street outside.

Going Over Embankment--laid
to Traction Strike.

Cleveland. o., June 12.-AThe police
of Euclid Heights, the suburb in which
a municipal traction car was blown
up by dynamite early Thursday, are
bending every effort to run down the
mlscreants who placed an explosive
on the track. Five passengers and
the motormon and conductor were in
jured. none fatally, as result Of
the explosion. The inquired passengers
are:
Rev. Michael Gilday, Moline, ILL.,, &c.

hands cut and severely bruised; Mrs.
| w. Ffshley, suffering from shock;
Mrs. Cornelia White, badly bruised.
The car was running slowly. when
the front wheels struck the explosive.
The explosion that followed was heard
over a mile. Windows were shattered
and seats twisted. The floor of the
car was lifted upward, throwing the
passengers in panic-stricken heap on
the floor.
Only the slow speed Of the car
saved it from going over the steep en-
bankment lining the road. The explo-
sion lifted 1t clear to within foot Of
the curb.
The explosive tore off the fanges
of the wheels and the motor fell be-
tween the rails. Two sticks of dyna-
mite were found on the rails where
they had been placed with the inten-
ton OF blowing UP cars bound in the
opposite direction. The police be-
lieve the dynamiting is an echo of the
street car strike, which has not yet
been declared of officially.
