BY an explosion of one of the pipes
carrying ammonia. to the big coolers in
the building, over so employees of The
Hammond company were driven from
the big packing establishment at SO to
"A Middle street soon after one o'clock
this afternoon.
The explosion occurred on the third
floor where about so people were at
work. Many of these were women.
Fortunately only three men were in
the room where the explosion occurred,
and they escaped without serious in
jury although they were overcome by
the fumes of the ammonia which filled
the building and permeated the atmos-
phere for several hundred feet around
the building.
The injured are Frank Scholtz, 40
years old, engineer, living with his
family at SAT Lindley ST.; John Whee-
Blake, IL Summer street. All three
were overcome by ammonia gas and
Scholtz, the engineer received a severe
wound on the forehead in addition.
The explosion took place on the third
floor of the building, in the packing
room where Blake and Wheeler were
at work Engineer Scholtz had been
changing the system of ammonia pipes
in the last few days. He came up
stairs to tighten a joint which was
leaking. He was at work with his
wrench on the pipe when there came a
deafening crash. Scholtz was thrown
20 feet across the room against the
door but quickly raising up he gave
the alarm. Wheeler and Blake were
knocked fiat by the explosion but man
aged to grope their way to the door
where they were seized and taken to
the open air. Twenty-Five men and
women were at work in an adjoining
room. The explosion created a panic
Immediately but the best of order pre-
vailed. The windows were Immediate
" thrown open and the elevator which
will easily carry 25 people was loaded
and sent to the ground floor where
they were sent into the open air. Two
trips of the elevator brought every
body to the ground.
Dr. Bennett in the emergency ambu-

lance reached the scene and admins
tered antidotes to the three men. In
a short time they recovered enough to
be taken to their homes. Scholtz, the
engineer. refused to leave his post and
returned to duty after DIR. Bennett had
dressed his wounds. Wheeler and
Blake remained in the gaseous atmos-
phere longer than the engineer and
were affected to a greater degrees.
The pipe which burst carries anhy-
drouS ammonia to one of the seven
cooling rooms in the building. The
pressure on the pipe is usually about
$50 pounds and there is no evidence
that it was any greater when it gave
way this afternoon. Manager George
D. Roberts was on hand as soon as the
report was heard and directed the
movements of the employees so that no
one was injured. He said after the
place was cleared of gas and the en-
ployes had returned to their work that
there was nothing particularly remark
able about the bursting of the pipe
for steam pipes carrying the same
pressure burst much oftener than the
ammonia pipes. A weak joint caused
the trouble. The main thing in such
a crisis is to get people out of the
reach of the poisonous fumes before
they are overcome This was done
easily this afternoon.
A big crowd gathered about the place
soon after the explosion and remain
ed till the ambulance returned to the
emergency hospital. The fumes of
the ammonia were plainly observable
block away from the packing house
for half an hour after the accident.
The damage to the building is slight.
The stretch of pipe in which the break
occurred was torn down. 1t was this
pipe which struck the engineer on the
head and knocked him down. The
pipes were emptied of the ammonia
and the temperature of the freezing
rooms began to rise Immediately. Be
fore the supply could be shut off al
most the whole of the charge of Am
monia in the plant had made its escape
into atmosphere. An hour after the
accident the plant was running as US
ual, the break in the pipe having been
repaired by the undaunted engineer
and the pipes again filed with ammo
mia.
