MILL EXPLOSION FATAL TO FOUR.
AS Many Others Will Die Of injuries
Sustained at Joliet Plant.

Sustained at Joliet Plant.
Joliet, Illinois. Four men were
killed, four were fatally injured and
nine others suffered fractured arms and
legs in an explosion which wrecked
the moulding building at the Illinois
Steel Company's plant and imprisoned
100 men. Among those who were ia
tally injured was Patrick Collins, a
Democratic politician.
The accident occurred when a sew
eral ton label of molten metal upset
or a wet floor. In an instant there
was a terrific explosion which blew
out the walls of the building. The
roof or the wrecked building fell, i'm
%prisoning the 100 men working in the
moulding room. Scalding steam swept
everywhere. burning the faces and
arms of nearly every man in the struc-
tuTe.
For more than fifteen minutes
squads of rescuers fought in vain to
reach the dead and injured. Those
in the building who were not helpless
ly crippled burrowed through piles
of tile and twisted iron work before
they could get out. OF the men who
were killed, one was buried beneath
the molten metal, one was scalded to
death, and two were caught beneath
debris when the tile roof fell.

WILEY IS A ~FICUREHEAD
SAYS HE PRACTICALLY HAS CIV,
EN- UP HIS AUTHORITY.
Says Real Heads Of His" Department
Are Dunlap and
McCabe.

Washington, d. c. - DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem,
istry of the agricultural department,
testified before the house investigat.
ing committee that he has surrendered
practically all of his authority for en-
forcing the pure food law to DR.. +. l..
Dunlap, associate chemist, and George
p. McCabe, solicitor of the agricul-
tural department.
Oyerruled in two-thirds of the cases
he has brought before the food and
drugs inspection board, composed Of
these two men and himself. he de-
clared hat he had found it useless to
appeal to Secretary Wilson, and had
not even received an answer to one
of the most important appeals he had
made to the secretary.
DR.. Wiley, summoned before the
committee to tell of his connection
with the employment of DR.. II. II.
Rusby on an alleged illegal contract,
gave to the committee the most illu-
minating information that has been
developed in the investigation now be-
ing made of the agricultural depart
ment.
Didn't Get Rusby Letter."
He testified he had never received
the letter from DR.. Rusby which was
used by the personnel board to prove
that he knew about the Rusby con-
tract. He said that in using this let
ter, the personnel board had omitted
its most essential portion, namely, the
statement of DR.. Rusby hat I'VE have
agreed upon the following arrange
ment as fair and satisfactory, if ap-
proved by the department."
DR.. Wiley stated that Solicitor Nc
Cabe held the decisive vote on the
board of food and drug inspection.
When DR.. Wiley and DR.. Dunlap dis
agreed on questions of chemistry, it
was SOlicitOr McCabe who decided
whether a prosecution should be made.
In fully one hundred cases. said Will
ey, where he and DR.. Dunlap had
voted together and Solicitor McCabe
had disagreed with them, DR.. Dunlap
changed his vote to agree with Mr..
MCCabe.
In two cases he did appeal, he ad-
ded, where he thought public health
was seriously menaced." One of
these involved the labelling of gluten
flour, the food of diabetes patients.
The boards decision, he believed. left
physicians without sufficient informa-
ton as to the az contents and
strength of the -four. In this case the
secretary upheld the board.
mo Answer to Appeal"
The other case involved the labelling
fruits and fruit products which con
tanned sulphur dioXide. This subject
is now before the Remsen pure food
board. The board, composed
of three cabinet members, Secretaries
MacVeagh, Wilson and Nagel, decided
manufacturers could continue to
use the sulphuring process, if the fact
was made clear on the label.
