Death List Already Is Between
Forty and Fifty
COAST DEFENSES ARE DAMAGED

Baltimore. Md, March S-Investi-
cations are under way today to ascer-
tain the cause and fix the blame for
the disastrous explosion of more than
three hundred tons of dynamite in the
Chine, which brought death to more
than forty, serious injury TO three
score or more. and property losses Of
more than a quarter of million. The

and make a report To his government.
Coroner Anne of Arundel county

fixing of blame for the disaster.
The explosion was so terrifis that

concrete foundations of heavy guns
in Forts Howard, Armisted and Carol
are cracked while several guns them
selves were damaged by falling pieces
of steel from the wrecked steamer.

four were identified The bodies of
