Shreds; Wounded Taken to
Huntingdon Hospital

men were killed and number injured
at 6 o'clock this morning when a ter
rife explosion completely destroyed
the cotton dry house at the plant of
the Aetna Explosives Company here.
The men were changing shifts at the
time, the night workers just going
away from the building at the time.
On account of this many of them es-
capped injury.
The dry house stood away from the
other buildings about 400 yards and
was located along the river bank.
The bodies of the men killed were
blown into bits. which were scattered
over the ground in the vicinity of the
demolished building. Many of the in
jured workmen We're badly hurt and
were Immediately taken to the Hunt
ingdon Hospital. The bodies of the
dead are at the plant.
The workmen killed were; George

sonia; Clayton Clark Marietta; Elmer

TWenty-onc men were employed in the

that only three have received serious
injuries.
The explosion occurred in c dry
house and that building was blown to
atoms, parts of it being found more
than half a mile away. Dry house A,
standing u short distance away, was
somewhat damaged and at one time
was on fire. 1t is stated that 100000
pounds of powder exploded.
There have been rumors for several
DAYS that the contracts held by the
company had been filled and that the
plant would shut down in a short time.

parts of the works will not resume
work, it is said, to-day and will leave
town.

dorsement to the new hotel plan, au-
thorized the appointment of a COM
mittee to assist in the sale of stock
and pledged its moral and financial
support to the great undertaking.
In addition the club witnessed a
working demonstration of the new
automatic telephone to be installed in
Harrisburg and passed resolutions en-
dorsing it from the standpoint of the
telephone user.
On recommendation of President
Howard C. Fry the Rotarians guaran-
teed the expense of a campaign in
Harrisburg TO be undertaken next
April by the Boy Scouts of America
whereby money will be raised to
finance Boy Scout campaign in this
city on a well organized working
basis for the coming three years. Plans
for this will be announced later. The

position came after a series of ad-
dresses on the subject by j. William
Bowman, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, E. q. Wallower, L. j.
Stackpole and Ed. S. Herman.
The club took heartily to the idea.
For number of years it has been
urging the formation of a hotel COM

has been undertaken by Harrisburg
people and is backed by local capital
was very pleasing to the Rotarians
All of the speakers were optimistic as

Fighting on a huge scale is in prog

whence the center of interest has shift
ed following the let-up in the heavy
allied attacks along the Somme in the
west
evidence is accommodating that the
central powers are now devoting their
main attention to the conditions in
the east, concentrating large forces
against Rumania, notably under Field
Marshal Won Mackensen in Dobrudia,
and putting all possible available men
in the field to stop the Russian march
on Lemberg by way of Halicz and the
menacing drives of the Russians and
Rumanians in the Carpathians and
Pennsylvania
Both Sides Claim Advantage
Both Berlin and Sofia report the de-
velopment of great battle on the line
the Russians and Rumanians have
taken up in Dobrudja to defend the
railroad route into interior Rumania
from Constanza, on the Black Sea. The
engagement, they declare, is turning
in favor of the force of the central
powers under Won Mackensen. Latest
reports from the lighting in Galicia
and Volhynia show the Teutonic forces
on the offensive and claiming decided
advantages over the Russian armies
under General Brussiloff.
AS has frequently been the case
when decisive developments were
lacking, Petrograd to-day is silent re-
garding the operations alons the Rus

witnesses were called before the COM
mission by the attorneys representing
the three motor clubs, who were
Frank B. Wickersham,.y John Fox
Weiss. Gabriel H. Moyer, of this city,
and William NJ. Wolfe, of Reading.

number of bridges that are in need
of repair, put up guard rails where

Incomplete Primary Returns
Give Calder Majority of
4,661 Down State

New York, Sept. 20. - Incomplete
returns from yesterdays primary cleo
ton in New York State fail to decide
the fight for the Republican nomina-
ton for the United States Senate be-
tween Robert Bacon, former ambassa-
dor to France, and William NJ, Calder,
of Brooklyn, former member of
Congress. The vote in 4,30S districts
out of a total of 5,719, gave Calder
to-day majority of 4,661, but
Bacon's campaign managers hoped
that later returns from outside New
York City would wipe out this lead.
They based their expectations on
the fact that Bacon made his best run
upstate, where 2,999 districts thus
for reporting out of total of 3,640
gave him a majority of 4,645. This
was more than offset by the heavy vote
