The break that occurred in the

gressive Democratic forces. While
Senator Hoke Smith. OF Georgia. ac-
copied as a personal rebuff the defeat

the position OF president pro tempore,
subsequent conferences of the Demo

Senator Tillman to secure the chair

THEIR STORIES
r~-s
Men on Destroyed Vessel Have
Different Versions Of
i Explosion.
EXPERTS STILL AT WORK
Bomhardt, Under Arrest, Denies
Sticking Bale Hook Into
Dynamite.

Baltimore, March e.-Althoush Will
liam. j. Bomhardt. assistant foreman
OF the stevedores employed in loading
the dynamite ship Alum Chine. which
blew up In the lower harbor here Fri
day. is under arrest charged with the
act which caused the disaster, dyna-
mite experts still incline to the theory
mat spontaneous combustion In the
coal bunkers OF tho vessel caused the
disaster
Bomhardt was arrested early this
morning after Coroner Russell, OF the
eastern police district, had taken the
statement of Morris Price, q stcvedore,
who said he saw Bomhardt stick n
bale hook into a box of dynamite and
cause its explosion. The coroner says
tho statement OF Price Is supported by
other stercdores who were in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
Bomhardt denies the use OF the bale
hook, but admits that tho box OF dyna-
mite exploded while he was handling
1t. His theory is that the dynamite
which had been frozen had blistered,
and that the friction caused by the
blisters on two adjoining sticks pro-
duced tho explosion.
Contrasting with these stories are
the statements of others aboard the
sion whatever before they saw smoke
and flames pouring from the hold or
the ship.
Attempts to reconcile the stories OF
Bomhardt and Price with the views OF
possibilities held by the experts have
been made. One is based on tho idea
that fire In the bunkers of the Alum
Chine ignited the dynamite at the time
the stevedores thought the explosion
occurred.
The second theory Is that the bale
hoole was thrust not into box OF
dynamite. but into box of perous-
sion caps. This would have produced
perhaps minor explosion.
The coroner's inquest will be neld to-
morrow night.
Hospital reports to-day added the
casualties. One of the men died late
last night and tho other to day. Others
of the injured showed Improvement to-
day.
Memorial services were held IN most
of the churches to-day for the men
who lost their lives in the tragedy.

under command OF Colonel L. II. Beach,
chief engineer OF the Baltimore office,
will take full charge tomorrow OF
the wreckaSe of the Olum Chine and
attendant barge. They will set to
work to remove the debris from the
channel and it's proximity.
The engineers are inclined to think
that large proportion of 600 cases
OF dynamite are lying uneXploded
where they fell and vessels are warned
TO avoid the scene of the disaster.
Three men who had boen listed
among the missing were located to-day.
Christian Nelson, of the crew of the
collier Jason, who jumped overheard
from that vessel when she was struck
by dynamite from tho Alum Chine,
was picked up by launch. The 9TH
err two men, who were stevedores. were
not on board the Alum Chine at the
time of the explosion.
Bomhardt, the etevedore foreman un-
der arrest. was reported tonight to
be in n state of nervous collapse and
was removed to n private room in tho
police station.
