MYSTERY SURROUNDS CAUSE
OF NEW YORK BLASTS
DEATHS MAY REACH 40

DEATHS MAY REACH 40
New York, July 31.-Mystery
still surrounds real cause of explO-
sion and fire which early Sunday
morning occurred on Black Tom
island. Whether a fire starting on
the barge loaded with nitro-cellulOse
or ignition of four freight cars load
ed with high explosives was the
exact cause never will be known.
Condition of the area of devasta-
ton made it impossible today to ex-
anime the scene of the first terrific
impacts. Flames were still fiaTing
from the wreckage Of railroad cars
and warehouses.
Dead, missing and injured were
mere estimates up to noon today.
Only two known dead we're marked
down. twenty-five others are miss
ing and 10 are known to have been
injured.
Estimates of property damage run
all the way from S2O,OOO,O0O to $780,
100000. Shattered glass alone in
Jersey City, Brooklyn, Manhattan
and a dozen surrounding cities and
hamlets is estimated at over a mil
lion dollars.
Four separate Investigations start
ed today by the railroad companies,
Jersey City authorities, the state and
the federal government.
Jersey City, July 31.-On charges
of criminal and gross negligence"
two men were to be arraigned today
for their alleged part in the $4,000
900 explosion on Black Tom PENN
sula. They were Albert NJ. Dickman,
Lehigh Valley railroad agent, whose
station was Black Tom island, and
Alexander Davidson, sup't of Nation
al Storage Co. s warehouses on the
piers.
Warrant for the arrest of TEeO-
dOre H. Johnson, pres. Johnson
Lighterage Co., was issued, but serv-
ice on him has not yet been obtained.

charged with permitting box cars
loaded with high explosives to be
placed on railroad siding in a posi-
ton where danger from fire or eX-
plOSiOn was great. The three men are
specifically charged with causing the
death of Capt. Cornelius Leyden of
the Lehigh Valleys railway police,
one Of the victims of the explosion.
New York, July 31.-AIiss Liberty's
gown was torn a little and some of
her skin punctured by shrapnel bull
lets-but the famous statue on Bed
lOe's island today was found to be
surprisingly free from injury, con-
ideTing its location less than a mile
from Black Tom peninsula. Many
fTeakish incidents were reported
here and elsewhere.
The main door giving entrance to
the Statue of Liberty was wrenChed
off its hinges as by a giant hand;
the iron cover to a powder maya
zine was torn away,al doors were
crushed in and probably a hundred
bolts joining the plates which COM
pose, the giant figure were broken or
sheared off.
Policeman Henry Doherty, patrol
ling the water front in Jersey City
found himself in the water, with
every stitch of his clothing stripped
from him except a sort of breech
cloth.
Charles Cutler, bargeman, was
hurled high into the air and landed
safely and softly in a car of bOrax.

maximum grinding capacity from the
entire outfit.
Tremendous Capacity
The rated capacity of such an outfit
is 100000 arrobas per day, or say, some
thing over 5000 tons Of two thousand
pounds, while its length is such that the

upon the evaporating. surface in tho

SENATE Will FIGHT.
new SHIPPING BILL
Republicans Give Notice They win
Use All Means To Prevent :
Passage y. i

What are the prospects for the pass.
age Of the government shipping bill Is
outlined in mail adviees received here
from Washington. Later radio nd
vices have ~indicated that the Repub'
llicans will not conduct a filibuster
against the biz, so portions of tho fol
lowing letter relating 10 that pOssibil'
ity may have been invalidated by the
later telegraph adviees.
The lctter, written at Washington
July 6, follows: "
"The committee on commerce of the
senate had the shipping bill under con
sideration for a short time July 6, hut
no progress was made. The committee
adjourned to meet again July 7, and il
is said will meet daily until some
agreement is reached and a bill is ready
for reporting to the senate.
Democrats Accept Challenge
'That fight of large proportions
viii be Nagcd over this bill in the sen,
ate is now quite certain. The Repub.
licans have given notice that unless
sthe measure is carried over until the
;noxt session and the country given an
opportunity to pass judgement on the
Democratic administration, every
means known to them will be used to
prevent the passage of the measure.
On the other hand, the Democratic
leaders have intimated that, they will
accept the challenge, and are prepared
to remain here until the snow flies to
accomplish the passage of the bill.
ION the question of strength for and
against the bill little can be said at
this time, except that the Republicans
speak with a confidence which seems to
mean nothing more nor less than that
Democratic support will be forthcom.
ing to encompass the defeat of the bill
on the final test. 1t is reported that
many Democrats have made known
their objections to certain features of
the bill and have animated that many
notifications will yet have to be made
to secure their votes. Most of the
Democrats who bolted last session are
still against the program, and make no
secret Of their position.
No Strength Developed
"The Democratic caucus July ) did
not develop strength for the bill, and
a further pOwwow win be held July 6
for the purpose of feeling out their po-
sition and to try TO determine upon a
program for the remainder of the ses
sion.
Many appropriation bills are yet to
be disposed of, and this situation af-
fOrds Il COED opportunity for a fIibus,
ter, but doubtless the Democrats will
try to force the shipping bill fight
ahead Of other bills and keep the sub
iect before the, senate until it is dis
posed of in some form or it is proved
that the continued effort will prov
fruitless. !"

A SUICIDE
Fear of Sickness Causes Dora I1nowl-
ton-RaHeous to End Life.

New York, Jan. 19.-Mrs. Dora
Knowlton- Raneous, authoress, widely
known as a translator of French and
Italian literature and at one time an
actress in Augustin Days company,
committed suicide at her home today
by inhaling gas. Dread of a repetition
of two paralytic strokes from which
she had suffered and continued ill
health with approaching blindness
were ascribed by her friends as the
motive for ending her life.
Mrs. RaneouS was widow and
lived alone with a housekeeper who
found her dead in bed. To her friend
and literary co-worker, DR.. Rossiter
Johnson, she left money for funeral
expenses and a note in which she said
she was so weary of my broken life
with a prospect of worse to come that
1 cannot bear it any longer, but God
will not be angry with me-"
Mrs. Raneous was born in Ashfield,
Mass, and was about sixty years old.
She translated into English with DR..
Johnson, Gabrielle D'Annunzio's THE
Flame" Matilde Serao's THE Conquest
of Rome" and with Robert Arnol, edi-
tons of Guy De Maupassant. She was
also the author of Good English in
Good Form and edited History of
Literature" in sixteen volumes.
