ors in Fireworks Concern.

Investigation into the affairs of the
National Fireworks Company, of New
Jersey, whose plant, between Horn
blower and DE Witt avenues, Belleville,
three live, yesterday, was begun to-
day by Selleville officials. According
to statements of those authorities the
probe will go deeply in an effort to fix
the blame for the. catastrophe, and to
prosecute the guilty parties If there
are any.
This was announced this morning by
Township Committeeman Harry NJ.
Fallows, who said he understood the
fireworks concern is a corporation. He
declared that If he finds that this is SO
that he will take steps to have sum-
nonses issued for the arrest of those
interested. and will then proceed to
effect the prosecution under the State
law governing such Industries.
Following the terrible accident 1t
was at first thought that Frank r.
Bradner, the son of prominent New
ark lawyer, who was known as the
owner of the place and who lost his
life in the fire, was the sole propri-
etor of the fireworks factory. If this
was true, explained Mr.. Fallows, he
thought no action would be taken, but
since then, he says, he learned that
there We're others besides Mr.. Bradner
interested.
1t was disclosed upon further inyesti-
CATION today that the National Fire
works Company of New Jersey was in
corporated at Trenton February 10, 1903

risler Bradner, the man who lost his
life; Edith II. Bradner, his wife, and
William II. Ogden, all OF Newark The
corporation was capitalized at 100000
The main offices of the company were
given at II Clinton street, this city,
with Harry Wright as local agent.
The report of the firm from 1909
showed that w. A. Luce, OF Boston, was
president. He is also given as a direc-
tor, alo with George j. Clark, of West
Hanover, Mass; e. II. Bradner and
r. F.. Bradner of Newark. r. g Brad
ner is given as the treasurer, secretary
and general manager of the company.
When asked what the proposed ac-
ton would be Mr.. Fallows said that
the factory was operating in violation
of the state law. which provides that
no plant engaged in the manufacture
of fireworks shall be located within
1000 feet of a public highway, and that
the Belleville plant was within stones

FLEET MAY DASH
To AID AME R|CANS
IN MEXICAN CITIES

WASHINGTON. May 5.-Hundreds
of Americans are in peril in Mazatlan.
Acapulco and other cities along the
west coast of Mexico. The Pacific fleet,
Rear Admiral Thomas commanding, is
awaiting orders today at San Diego to
proceed at once to the aid of these
Americans. That they will be sent
there in two or three days there is no
doubt, despite the formal protest of the
Mexican government. 1t will take five
to six days for the fleet to reach Aca-
pulco, but not so long to steam to Ma
zatlan. The fleet consists of the Cali
fornia, the Maryland, the South Dakota,
the West Virginia. the Colorado and
the Pennsylvania, all armored cruisers.
There is much talk here in diplomatic
circles that Intervention by this country
is inevitable. Both foreign and Amer
lean investors are seeking protection of
their property and their lives from
President Taft, but he and Secretary
Knox are absolutely set against inter-

II kicked him because he said that
he would squeal on me-. was the
reason Michael Burns, of rs Lexington

Mullin, who now lies in ST. James's
Hospitfl in a critical condition.
Last Friday the Burns boy got per-
mission from his teacher, Miss Dono-
hue, of the st. Aloysius School, to step
out of the classroom. A minute later
Edward Mulln. of 66 Fillmore street,
came out and found the Burns boy
smoking a cigarette. When offered a
puff Mullin refused, saying that he
would tell the teacher, upon which
Burns kicked him.
He went home, complaining that he
felt i'll, but would not give any reason,
and did not say anything about Burns
until his condition became so serious
that his parents were forced to send
him TO the hospital.
There he told what happened, and
Plainclothesman Brex was sent out for
the other boy. whom he found hiding
in the cellar of the house at 81 Lex
lngton street. He was taken to the
Third Precinct police station and sent
to the House of Detention pending the

ROCGE LUNCHEON
A BIG SUCCESS,

terday served little luncheon in a

Previous to assembling for the little
luncheon, however, the aldermen put

brought to the luncheon the conscious
ness of work well done and of having
attended to business before, pleasure.

Luncheon a Great Success.
Those who were present and could be
seen later were unanimous in voting
the luncheon a success. Everything
possible that mine host could do for the
comfort of his guests was done Then
there was more or less perfunctory
inspection of the building-perfuncto

up their minds about the proposition.
1t is not k.lown at just what time

that no one of the gsests would have
been so tactless as to bring up an
unpleasant subject until the entertain

they are at least $4,000, 100000 This
is four times the probable wealth of
the Rockefeller clan and more than
six times greater than the united AS

Yet the founder of the Aston estate
was a rich man before the first Roths-
