ed musical comedy to become a Fa- nous Player star, returned to the fOOtlights for a brief time not so long ago. The result will be seen in the production which vii be seen today. Tn The SaleSlady'' Miss Dawn goes through many Vicissitudes. She is a young country girl in search of work. She goes to a cheap boarding house, but is soon divested of her last penny
 in the effort to have the life of a con- sun1ptive girl in the house. The story itself differs radically from anything in which Miss Dawn has ever appeared as we'll as comedy.
 With all the talk of national pre- naredness. how many women are there in the United States who know how to handle a gun? This pertinent question is presented in "HOOdoo Ann, the Fine Arts play with Mae Marsh which will be shown in addl- tiOn to the Hazel Dawn attraction. It is brought up in the picture, by a pre- paredness campaign resulting from burglar scare in a little town of Meadowdale. The story is replete with thrilling situations, heart interest and pretty sentiment and will please the legion of Fox patrons.
 'Bv Storl1's Delivery,' a roaring two reel Keystone comedy, the Para mount Photograph, one thousand feet of educational film and other photoplays of high class nature frame the balance of the offering.

stitutionality of tho Adamson law
A bill of equity was filed in the United
States District Court asking an injunction
restraining the Federal attorneys In Penn

der the Adamson law.
In nearly all respects the suit is like that
Of the Pennsylvania. Only two OF the Unit

named-Francis Fisher Kane of the East
ern District, and Rogers l.. Burnett, of the
Middle District t. Lowry Humes of the
Western District. IL not named because the

As in the Pennsylvania suit, 1t is con-
tended that the Adamson law deprives em-
ployer and employe of the liberty of con-
tract, that Congress is not lawfully en-
powered to enforce the act and that II Is
an unlawful invasion OF irshts of personal
liberty and property 1t is also contended
that the act Is illegal and not binding be-

ONE KILLED, MANY
in FEAR AS BLAST
JARS DWELLINGS
Young Chemist Victim of
Explosion in New
Laboratory
PARRISH STREET SHAKEN

ono man was killed and hundreds Of
persons became panic-stricken today when
An explosion OF chemicals blew out doors
and windows in the testing laboratory of
the Powers, Weightman, RoBengarten Com
pany, chemical manufacturers, SIS Parrish
street.
The victim was Emilio De Lucca,
twenty-eight years old. an assistant chem
ist, of 910 North Tenth street. De Lucca
was literally blown to pieces.
The detonation rocked the neighhorhood,
and partially dressed men, women and chill
dren rushed to the street In n panic Houses
IN the Immediate vicinity tremblcd. Dishes
fell from shelves, pictures swayed on walls,
and clocks stopped. John Anderson, s53
North Ninth street, was hurled from his
chair while eating breakfast. Goods in the
little store of Samuel Amey, $40 Parrish
street hopped about on the counters as II
animated by spirits Many thought bomb
had been exploded.
NEW BUILDING DAMAGED
The building where the explosion occurred
In three-story brick structure, and was
erected about three months ago. The main
plant OF the Powers, WeiRhtman. Rosen-
garten Company ia located at Ninth and
Parrish streets. The laboratory was built
TO meet the needs Of the company in its con-
stantly increasing business with the Allies
For weeks the testing Of powerful now
chemicals and gases has been in progress in
the building.
De Lucca had been in the employ of the
company about five years. having been
transferred from the main plant when the
laboratory was finished.
II was De Lucca's duty to open the la
boratory every morning He was usually
there an hour before other chemists were
scheduled to arrive.
The supposlton is that powerful chlorine
gases and other gases had leaked out into
tho laboratory during the night and that
when De Lucca opened the door the flood
OF cold morning air which followed him
caused the explosion. OnlcIals of the COM
pany have the theory that DE Lucca was
greeted by the blast soon after he entered
the building and blown to his death.
DOORS SHATTERED
The explosion was accompanied by the
noise of sDllnterlng wood and shattering
glass. Wooden doors In the front and rear
of the laboratory shot into the street in
the shape of klndlng wood. Glass fell on
the roofs and sidea OF houses in the vicln-
ity. The woodwork on the Ninth street
side OF the building was wrecked furniture
was overturned. testing apparatus dam
aged, acids and chemicals scattered about
and plaster dropped from the ceiling in
huge cakes.
Fire company No. 10. from Fifteenth and
Parrish streets responded to an alarm
There was no blaze when the lremen ar
rived, but they searched among tho ruins
and found DE Lucca.
He boarded with Mrs. A. Lazarus at tho
Ninth street address. She said De Lucca
was an enthusiastic young chemist She
also said he was fluent IN several lam
guages and was studying 70 increase his
knowledge of chemistry. Only yesterday
she said, the young man had sent $40 to
his mother In Italy as Christmas present.

Jones, a Pennsylvania Railroad conductor,

jewelry and clothing missing from the Penn
