MUCH MILK USED HERE
Daily Average Estimated at
100000 Quarts.

The enormous increase in the consump-
ton of milk in this city is shown in
figures which have just been compiled by

increase OF about 400 per cent.
The daily consumption Of milk in the
other large cities is given as: Chicago.
$4,000 quarts ST. Louis. l25,000 quarts;
Boston. 360o0 quarts. large part of

NO GAS EXPLOSIONS
Tanks Found Intact in Wreck,
but Connections Were Broken.

Gas explosions apparently had no part
in the damage caused by the Westport
train wreck Survivors OF the accident
said that an explosion occurred In the
arst parlor car after II crashed into the
engine. II was believed that this was
due 10 an explosion Of Pintsch gas, ignit-
ed by the frebox. The Pintsch COM
pressing Company, Of No. Rector street
sent a representative to the scene OF the
accident yesterday 10 determine Just what
share Of the damage could be attributed
TO gas explosions AS a result OF inc
report submitted by the investigator the
company announced that there had been
no explosion of gas.
The parlor cars all contained tanks OF
both Pintsch gas and acetylene gas, but
examination showed that not a single tank
had even been ruptured, although In some
cases the tanks had been torn from their
places and hurled out OF the cars. the
connections OF many of the tanks had been
broken. OF course. but the fact that the
tanks themselves were intact would seem
To prove that no gas explosion could have
taken place. The company explained that
the failure of the gas TO explode was
probably due to the fact that the range
OF the mixture OF air and Pintsch gas
which is explosive was small. II the gas
is less than per cent or more than II per
cent Of the mixture neither ignition nor
explosion can take place. The expansive
force of the gas when ignited is not great
The range OF mixtures under which
acetyene gas will explode is much larger.
Father Thomas ]. Lynch. president of
the Catholic Protective Society, No. ~
Franklin street. who was passenger on
the wrecked train and did heroic work In
rescuing the victims of the accident said
yesterday at his home. at No. 202 East
18th street that the loss OF life would
have been less II there had been any
axes on hard with which to chop into the
wreckage The priest also said that the
train crew displayed inefficiency in fight
ing the fire which broke out after the
wreck.

similar accident like that Of yesterday

give us authority to compel railroads to

After the Bridgeport wreck the com
mission recommended the installation or
automatic train control apparatus to
bring trains TO stop in case signals or
rules were not observed, and that, In the
absence OF such control, switches should
not be used at dangerous cross-overs to
divert trains from one track 10 another

Clarks train was twelve minutes late,
owing to Unexpectedly large crowds
that got aboard at various stations,
and it was thought that he was trying
