A moment before, Marjorie Kellner.
10 years old, had been working at a
loading machine some distance away
from the other girls. Now her startled
companions saw her crushed n I'M
conscious form against the wall of the
room. twenty feet from the machine
which she had operated. The girls
body olung to the wall.
The entire city had been shaken
by the force of the explosion, and
within three minutes people were rush
ing to the plant from all parts
Of town. From the doors of the
wrecked loading room, which in its
windowless state. looked like a skele-
ton building, they saw the terrified
hundreds of girls. many of them cut
and bruised, with disheveled hair and
torn clothing. pour out with cries that
could be heard for blocks.
Captain Thomas 3. Doe, the gov
eminent superintendent at the plant,
was on the scene promptly and tried
to prevent the panic, out the girls
could not be restrained. Captain Doe
summoned three physicians who were
amazed to find hat a spark Of life
still remained in the crushed form Of
the Kellner girl.
An ambulance was called from the
City Hospital and she was rushed
there, but died a few minutes after
wards.
1t was a remarkable fact. in spite Of
the careful construction of the build
ing and the many precautions taken
by the government, that none of the
other girls was gravely injured. Pieces
of glass and steel had flown about the
building n many received slight in
iuries, but after they had recovered
from their hysteria, all were able TO
go to their homes.
The government officials In charge of
the plant declined to give out any
statement concerning the accident.
Captain Doe would merely say that the
girl who was killed had been working
a considerable distance from the other
girls in the room. 1t is not known
whether the machine itself burst or
whether the explosion was due 70 some
thing else.

LIEUT.. =GOV. BLAKESLEE, OF
CONNECTICUT, FOR T. r.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 25.-Dennis A,
Blakeslee, Lieutenant Governor of
Connecticut, says that from the
advices he had received it looks
more and more as if Theodore Roose-
welt would be nominated by the Re-
publicans for President. This belief
has been strengthened, he declared, by
a conversation he had last week with
Otto Barnard, of New York. Mr..
Barnard told the Lieutenant-G Governor
that he had been informed thai Frank
Munsey had been in the West trying
to obtain the selection of delegates
committed to Roosevelt.
Il am sorry for President Taft, for
I believe if there was ever an honest
man it is he" observed the Lieutenant
Governor. But he seems to have been
unfortunate. | am told by men who
nave recently returned from the West
that Taft's trip through the country.
instead of helping him, really injured
his chances for denomination"
Mr.. Blakeslee is a candidate for Gov
ernor Of Connecticut.

ESSEX PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE
TO INDORSE ROOSEVELT.

Resolutions lndorsing Theodore
Roosevelt for the Republican Presiden-
tial nomination will be offered at the
meeting of the Essex Progressive Re-
publican League tonight. 1t is doubt
full il any opposition will be expressed
to their approval.
The Roosevelt movement in New
Jersey has gained such force that 1t is
doubtful If it can be successfully met
by the friends of President Taft, who
include most of the organization lead
ers. Essex County is not the only
hotbed of Roosevelt sentiment. Other
sections of the State are falling into
line with enthusiasm for a second
nomination for the former President.

REP UBLICAN PRIMARIES
 TO BE HELD TONIGHT
Only One Ticket in the Field in Each
 of 12 Districts.

The Republican primaries will be held tonight and they will be formal affairs as there will only be one ticket in each district, the majority of the party members who previously had aggressiveness enough to fight having joined the Bull Moose move ment. The Roosevelt men who scan the list of Republican delegates say that they are somewhat taken back to see so many Taft Republicans in, the city. They regret that there is not enough steam left in the old party to have contests in the various districts, just so that. it would be possible to know how many electors are interest ed enough in the success of the first Chicago convention to come out and vote. Tonight it will be a simple thing for the election officials to check off several hundred names and make it appear that there were a large number of votes cast.
 It is shame that the price of lighting the voting places will have to be squandered by the Republican Town Comnittee, and it can be truth fully said that the regime did not in- tend to go to such expense for the call for the last city convention also included the next State, Senatorial, Congressional, Probate and other con ventions. They apparently intended to reconvene the last city convention and proceed to do business without a primary fight, as the Bull Moose movement was not anticipated last spring. They have since found that the rules of the State organizat tion will not permit chairman of Town com rafttees to issue calls for primaries having to do with State offices until call Hence the primaries tonight which will be ultra ~eonservative

Hartford, Aug. 30--When the Dan bury matters case was resumed, to- day, it was evident there would be little Of interest in the way of testi- mony for several days.

This reading of documentary evidence will probably take up the time of the com- ing week.
 During today's reading, continual objection was taken by counsel for the defendants, greater part of them being denied by Judge Martin.
