EXPLOSION IN STARCH WORKS
KILLS MANY, AND INJURIES Il
Chicago Factory Blown Up and Set
on Fire Resulting Fatally to
Large Number.

CHICAGO, Mar. From eight to
ten people were reported killed and
seventeen were injured, many of them
probably fatally, in a terrific explosion
at the works Of the American Maize
Products company at Roby, Ind, to-
night
The explosion occurred in a detach-
ed building Of the plant and was pre-
coded by fire that soon enveloped a
large three story warehouse. Starch
in an overheated kiln is supposed to
nave been the cause
AT midnight the fire was so intense
it was impossible to enter the place
or to determine the number of dead
1t was known that 20 workmen were
in the building at the time. Seven
teen were rescued terribly burned.
OF the II unaccounted for some way
may have escaped unhurt
The fire broke out suddenly after a
force of men mad prepared a kin fill
ed with starch. The starch a mo-
ment later blew up like gun powder
So great was the force that some of
the injured were hurled through win
dows and doors. and in that way es-
capped death in the flames.
Soon the whole building was on fire
and the roof and the upper floors were
blown skyward.

1.-THE Great Divide"

The pictorial side Of 1.-The Great Di-
vide" in which a special company is
to appear at the Keylor Grand theater
next Tuesday night, March IS, is said
first two scenes are full of the atmo-
sphere and color of the boundless west,
pervaded by the spirit of mountains and
plains. The first act setting represents
cactus ranch in Southern Arizona.
The second act shows The Roof of the
World a wild, magnificent spot at
the top of the Rockies. Here on the
great Continental Divide is fought out
the conflict between the hero and the
IMPLYING the unfettered,
lawless freedom of the mountain and
desert, she, rejecting the Puritan ideals
of her New England home. The grand
eur of the scenes gives an almost epic
background this struggle OF con-
trasted national temperaments of east
and west Stephen Clients abode in the
Cordilleras overloOks a yaWn:ng canon.
and, spread out before it is an I'M
presSive vista of vast distances across
the mountain tops. 1t was just such a
scene as this viewed in all it's gorgeous
western coloring from moon 10 sunset,
that inspired the imagination of Will
liam Vaughn Moody to write this dra-
ma IF The Great Divide" which was
instantly hailed upon its presentation
in New York city as 1.-The great Ameri-
can play" everyone has been praying
for. Mr. Moody is a college professor. a
teacher Of literature in the University
of Chicago, and has been writing poetic
dramas along classical Greek lines, but
the voice of the west spoke to him one
summer day on the top of the Conti-
mental Divide and he brought back its
utterances to the east and west the
north and south, in the most notable
drama of the past half century.
