OUT A SCORE Of LIVES
Accident Occurred in Fifty.foot
Deep Excavation, Workmen Being
Buried Under Tons Of Earth.

New York.-Twenty-fiv persons
lost their lives in an explosion of gas
which tore up a great section of Gold
street, Brooklyn, on Friday. It is def
nitely known that fifteen persons
we're buried under the hundreds OF
tons of earth and timber thrown into
the air and ten more are reported as
missing.
The explosion occurred in a fifty
foot deep excavation that had been
made in Gold street between York and
Front streets, where water main
was being laid. The gas main recently
sprang a leak and in a manner un.
known a spark came in contact with
the escaping gas. Immediately there
was terrific explosion which lifted
the surface for half block in both
directions and shot dirt, paving stones
and debris into the air.
When the smoke and dust cleared
sway 1t was seen the street had been
opened from doorstep to doorstep over
III area Of nearly a block. The loos-
med earth and debris had fallen into
he excavation, burying the score of
iaborcrs who were at work when the
accident happened. Great tongues of
flames shot from creviCes and beside
seysers of water leaped into the air
from the water main that had been
shattered by the explosion. Two
bodies were sticking out of the wreck
PEc. Gold street was crowded with
school children when the explosion
occurred, and that scores were not
killed or injured was remarkable. A
woman and three children were al
cost over the excavation when the
earth crumbled under their feet and
hey were swept down into the hole
rnder tons of wreckage. Two other
children were on the opposite side Of
the street when the sidewalk caved in
and they lost their lives.

The interview Is said TO have taken

Hale was the emperor's guest. The
World summarizes the main points
Of the emperors interview as fol
lows:
THAT King Edward of Great Brit
pin had been humiiating him for
more than two years and that he was
eXasperated: that Germany was the
paramount power in all Europe and
England was trying to neutralize that
POWER.
THAT he held France in the hollow
Of his hand, and that Russia was of
no account since the disastrous war
she had with Japan.
THAT II the Pan European war
which had been so much talked of
was inevitable. the sooner II came the
better it would be for him, but he was
ready and was tired of the suspense
THAT Great Britain had been de.
cadent nation every since her victory

Free State, because hers was an un-
righteous. ungodly cause, and Divine
Judgment was bound eventually to
Overtake the powerful nation that

openly to be England's friend and

THAT the only way to counterfeit
this alliance was for Germany and
America TO act together at an early
date or America would have to fight
the Japanese in ten months.
THAT in the event of a great war
England would lose many of her colo
MES. especially in the Pacific, and
that what he would take for Germany
would be Egypt, though he would lib.
crate the Holy Land from the yoke
OF the intidel presumably meaning
the sultan.
That the perfecting of the Zeppe.

many a power advantage, in war and
she was ready to make use of it to
the fullest extent"
The World declares that Emperor
William knew when he made these
statements that DR.. Hale was an
American newspaper man and maya.

statements were made without reser

posed.
