HIGHER PRICE, MORE SALES
Explanation Wanted of the Bakers
Paradox.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / notice that G. S. Ward, pres
ident of the Ward Bread Company
states since he has advanced the price
OF his bread to six cents a loaf his
sales have increased 10 per cent.
| beg to ask you to ask Mr.. Ward
whether or not he belongs to the flour
trust" as his statement sounds very
queer, that his business should in
crease by 10 per cent despite the adj
vance in price of his wares.
If at least he would reduce the price
to four cents, then we could take his
statement as probable.
But as L stands | must say he is
advertising well for further advance
in price. JACOB BOLTAN.

MYSTERY Of
MANS DEATH
CLEARED Up
CareIessness of Laborer Causes
Naphtha Explosion-FataI
to Young Fitzpatrick.

Negligence on the part of laborer
in not eNtinguishing fire in pit,
resulting in an explosion of naphtha.
is given as the cause of the death of
Charles f. Fitzpatrick. son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Fitzpatrick, Of 352 New
York avenue, in Chicago last Wednes-
day morning. William Nelson, o.
Nelson Brothers. leather manufac-
turers, who came to Newark yester-
day, told the young mans parents
how their son met his death.
Mr. Fitzpatrick received the burns
late Tuesday afternoon. 1 He was
conscious until o'clock Wednesday
morning, then lapsed into uncon-
seriousness and died about . o'clock
Mr.. Nelson said That If the men in
the yard had not run away at the
time of the explosion, when Mr.. Fitz-
pa tricks clothing caught fire, and
had endcavored to put out the llames,
his life probably would have been
saved
Mr.. Fitzpa trick was experimenting
the making Of a solution for the cur
ing of leather at what is called the
boiling she'd Whom the compound
was drawn from over the fire pit and
pulled into the yard the man who has
been attending the fire was supposed
TO have put 1t out. This he neglected
TO do. Mr.. Fitzpatrick, thinking that
the Dit lire had been extinguished,
poured a quantity of naphtha into the
caldron containing the hot solution
The fumes of the naphtha spread and
came in contact with the fire in the
pit. There was a terrific explosion.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick was knocked to the
ground His clothing was ignited
When he called for help the three
men working in the yard had disap-
peared, probably frightened by the
explosion and fearing to go to Mr.
Fitzpatrick's assistance.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, according to Mr..
Nelson's story, started TO run. He
was grabbed by people from the fac
tory and his blazing clothing torn
from him, but not until the damage
had been done. He was taken to the
Peoples Hospital in Chicago not
more than ten minutes after the ex-
plosion. His burns were so severe
that the best medical attention was
of no avail
Mr.. Nelson stated that Mr.. Fitz-
patrick was well thought of by the
company. He will remain In Newark
until after the funeral, which will be
hold Monday morning, when a high
mass of requiem will be celebrated
in st. James's Church.
