Shock of Explosion Felt
in This Part of State

The first intimation ir Harrisburg
that somewhere a terrific explosion
had occurred waG given when a Camp
Hill man called Gorgas drug store
about 2.20 yesterday morning, inquir-
ing whether anything had been blown
up in this city. About the same time
another man, a Middletown resident,
called and asked the same question.
Both said they felt distinct shocks
The operators at the Western Union
Telegraph office were asked if they
had word of any explosion and the
telegraphers began making inquiries
over the wire. Operators on the New
York circuit told the Harrisburg men
that terrific explosion had occurred
somewhere near by. but at that hour
they were unable to say just where.
The New York operators said all the
windows had been broken in their
building
Cottagers coming in from Perdix.
the Cove and other points along the
river this morning said they had been
awakened in some strange way about
2.15 yesterday morning with a feeling
that their little bungalows were rock
ing on their posts.
Commenting on reports that yes
terday's explosion at New York was
felt here. Professor Percy L. Grubb,
instructor of geology of the Technical
high school faculty, declared this after
noon that such a terrific detonation
would have much the same effect as
an earthquake.
"A terrific explosion such as the
one yesterday" said Professor Grubb,
would cause much the same kind of
a tremor on the earths surface as an
earthquake. The shock would spread
out in concentric circles. with the rock
strata as conductors, and would cause
the earth's crust to tremble for great
distance"

ance will be decided tomorrow morn

suit with Mr.. Seitz on the subject To

the explosions. a warrant was issued
for the arrest of Theodore B. Johnson,
president of a lightering company, one
of whose barges loaded with ammuni-
ton is alleged to have been moored at
the pier.
Cause Undetermined
Frank Hague, commissioner of pub
lie safety of Jersey City, charged that
the blame of the explosion lay with
either the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company, the storage company or the
lighterage company, and that some of
them had violated the laws of New
Jersey, the Jersey City ordinances and
the rules of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, by permitting barges
loaded with explosives to remain moor
ed at the piers overnight. These
barges were being used to transport
the ammunition to steamers lying in
Gravesend Bay.
The Jersey City police to-day added
chief of the Lehigh Valley railroad po-
lice, who has been missing since the
explosion occurred.

By Associated Press

New York. July 81. - Two men are
under arrest to-day on warrants charg-
ing them with manslaughter in in
directly causing the death of one OF
the victims of the terrific explosion OF
ammunition on Black Tom pier early
yesterday morning. Estimates of the
casualties early to-day placed the
number of dead at four, with three
others mortally injured, 80 suffering
from less serious injuries and eleven
to twenty missing. Estimates of the
property loss range from S25,000,00O
to $45,000,000.
Many persons who were on board
barges moored at the burned piers are
missing and it is feared that they
have perished. In some quarters 1t
was believed the total number of dead
would reach l2.
Will Demand Congressional Probe
While federal and county prosecu-
tors and the Interstate Commerce
Commission were conducting investi-
cations to determine the cause of and
fix the responsibility for the great am
munition explosion in Jersey City yes
terday morning with its toll of death,
injury and destruction, Mayor Mark
Fagan, of Jersey City, announced that
he would demand congressional in
vestigation of the disaster. He said
that such an investigation was i'm
gent laws for the transportation and
storage of high explosives than are
provided in the present regulations of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Mayor asserted that the State
of New Jersey, although it had strin-
gent laws governing the transporta-
ton Of explosives within the State, was
at the mercy Of the federal laws to
which the Jersey authorities have
been obliged to conform in order to
permit interstate commerce. The In
terstate Commerce Commission regu-
lations, he said, allowed the transpor-
tation and storage of high explosives
in quantities far too large.
Il have already requested three New
Jersey Congressman TO take steps to
bring about an investigation" he said.
1T seems unnatural that such a catas-
trophe could occur in a civilized COM
munity."
Those under arrest were Albert NJ.

Let Mother Shave Him,
Braddock Youth May Die

Pittsburgh, July 31.-William Coch-
ran. of Braddock, Pa, may die as a
result of permitting his mother shave
him. Cochran failed to visit a barber
shop Saturday night and in order to
attend church yesterday morning he
faced the necessity of making up for
his neglect. He had an old-fashioned
razor, but never tried to use it. "I be-
lieve could shave you," suggested his
mother. TRY it," responded Cochran.
. Operations proceeded with fair sue
cess till Mrs. Cochran. overconfident,
tried the razor on the back of Will
liam's neck. The blade slipped as she
was making a downward stroke and
cut a deep cash in the sons arm,
severing an artery. Two physicians
who were summoned say Cochran S
condition is critical.
