TWENTY-THREE DEAD IN GAS
BLAST AT CLEVELAND

BLAST AT CLEVELAND
Cleveland, July 23.-Twenty-three
lives were snUffed out in the new wa
terwOrks tunnel, it was estimated at
1 p. m. today, when wOTkmen we're
trapped in a gas pocket 12O feet be-
low the surface Of Lake Erie. The
gas, ignited by electrical machinery,
exploded with terrific force.
Ten bodies of the victims have
been taken from the death hole. Res
cuers estimate 13 more men are dead
in the tunnel Ten escaped with in
juries.
BuTrowing towards shore, a little
band of 'workmen, 12O feet below the
surface of Lake Erie, plunged shov-
els into a monster natural gas pOck-
ct. With tremendous force gas
swept in upon the helpless worBmen,
trapping them in the ten-foot con-
crete tube. Then came a terrific eX-
plosion as the gas ignited from a
spark in electrical machinery and
the tunnel was turned into a death
hole in a twinkling.
Failure to make proper tests of gas
strength and lack of sufficient air
pressure in the tube were pointed out
as contributing causes of the disas-
ter. 1t was seven hours after the ac-
cident before pUlmOtOrs and helmets
were secured It was two hours be-
fore help arrived. Three men taken
from the tunnel died before pulmO-
tors were available.
Capt. Hansen of the U. S. Iifesav-
ing station was the first on the scene,
but he had no helmets or pUlmotors,
so went back for them. Two small
boats from the ore freighter Star of
Jupiter next arrived, but they had no
apparatus with which to cope with
the deadly fumes.
