The evidence submitted yesterday was

freight rates. The figures in the tables
submitted tended to prove that while the

hundred or more men were put to work
this morning in the Lawrenceville dis
trict, where exploding gas in a nine.
foot sewer late yesterday wrecked the
sewer for more than a mile and die
damage amounting to half q millior
dollars.
The police prohibition of lights an6
fires in the affected district, inhabited

widespread discomfort during the
night and prevented even an eXamina-
ton to ascertain the extent of the dam
age until after daybreak.
Many families have moved to other
sections of the city until assured thai
all danger of further explosions has
passed.
Experts under the director of public
works, John A. Heron, went over the
ground to prepare plans for the dis
posal of the sewage formerly carried
by the broken main and which now
flows through the streets. 1t drains a
section populated by approximately
10000 persons.
Some Persons Injured.
Buildings were damaged and per-
sons injured within a radius of three
miles.
Three large tanks. containing thou
sands of gallons of gasoline, were
overturned in the yards of the Petro-
leum Products Company, Liberty ave-
nue. and 33d street, and the fluid poured
into the wrecked sewers.
Danger of a second explosion caused
the city authorities to order all lights,
except electric, extinguished.
Overturned Furnace Starts Fire.
A furnace filled with molten metal
at the Cold Rolled Steel Company's
plant was upset and the mill caught
fire.
Water mains in various parts of the
district were broken, flooding the
streets and undermining scores OF
buildings. Many families were ordered
to vacate the houses before they col
lapsed.
At a special meeting of the council
last night various department heads
were authorized to employ as many
men as needed to clear away the debris
and lime and other disinfectants were
ordered used in the flood district

that in case of bad weather on the day
