became heated by the sun and the
gasoline vaporized and filled the rail
road yards and that it was gas in the
open that exploded This theory is
concurred in by w. C. Dewitt, mem
Der of the city commission, who ap-
pealed to the Santa Fe prior to the
explosion to move the car. The car
from which the gas escaped was d
little more than half full of gasoline
when the fluid was pumped from it
and removed.
One gallon of gasoline is said to
have the explosive power of SO pounds
of dynamite, and the explosion here,
according to that theory, was equal to
the explosion Of more than four hun
dred thousand pounds of dynamite.
