Pleasant Prairie. Ais., March IA
With the vicinity OF the wrecked Du-
pont powder mill a waste Of disrnan-
tied homes. the first action of the
residents vas toward the elimination
OF the menac OF powder works from
the county. Indignation meetings al
which this demand was voiced were
held in Pleasant Prairie and kenosha.
The effort 10 safeguard their homes
is TO be pushed in the present session
Of the Wisconsin legislature.
Nine Explosions in 10 Years.
There AVE been nine explosions in
10 a al the powder WORKS. but no
disaster compared with the present
one in the extent OF damages inflicted.
although more lives have been losr.
In the explosion OF 1906 seven men
were killed, while two died OF their
injuries.
Fragments Of the body of F s.
Thompson. the one mar killed In the
explosion. were found i'm a pond half
a mile from the glaze mill. where he
met MS death. The remains were
identified by Superintendent Clarence
Brady OF the powder works and 9th
eTs.
That the explosion started in the
glaze mill where Thomson was killed
and that its cause was the defective
working OF the machinery during the
delicate process OF putting the last
touch OF high explosive finish on giant
powder was indicated by the state
ment OF Engineer Joseph Finn. him
sell seriously injured, who was an eye
witness OF the initial explosion.
Engineer Films statement of the
cause was supported by that of Dr.. a.
j. Lowe, of Pleasant Prairie. who has
frequently inspected the glaze mill
since it's installation and is thoroughly
1conyersant with its workings. Both
assert that the heating and friction OF
the powder in the huge hot air and
steel iacketed cylinders Of the glazing
tanks brings the explosive 10 a pre-
carlous poise as the process approach
es completion.
Missile Hurled TWO Miles.
A section OF one of the shattered
glazing cylinders, d steel missile more
than three feet in diameter and six
feet long, was hurled two miles AID
crashed through tine roof OF a two-
story building opposite the railroad
station. occupied by II. A. King as a
general store. The cylinder made an
eight-foot gap in the roof of the build
ing and passing thrcagh the structure
was buried in the cellar.
The financial loss to the company
Is roughly estimated at 100000, but
the total loss due to the explosion is
too widely distributed even to be est
mated. Househoiders in Pleasant
Prairie say that their houses had been
weakened by previous explosions.
Three holes marked the sites where
three of the magazines had stood. The
holes were each more than 50 feet
across and as deep One had broken
into a spring and was half full OF
water.
Trees for a half mile around were
stripped OF branches and shorn off
even with the ground. Part Of the
engine house and the 100-foot brick
chimney OF the plant still stand.
