Bronx be in their barns by 9 o'clock.
Il issued these orders to prevent
violence" said Mr.. Maher. "The
men who are willing to remain at
work have been threatened by the
strikers. Thugs have visited their
homes and told their wives if they
went out on cars they would come
back in caskets. We expect to send
out all cars in both boroughs to-
morrow morning and operate them
on regular schedule"

80 Killed Then, When Two
Lighters Loaded with
Dynamite Blew Up.
SHOCK WAS FELT
IN DISTANT TOWNS
Westfield Ferry Blast and Park
Place Disaster Killed and
Injured Hundreds.

Yesterdays disaster vividly recalls
the last great explosion that shook
New York City. when two dynamite
loaded lighters at Communipaw, \. j.
were utterly demolished, with loss of
life estimated at between thirty and
thirty-fve.
That explosion occurred at noon on
February /. 1911, and was believed to
have been occasioned by a workman
who. in his haste to get away for DIN
ner. carelessly allowed a box of dyna-
mite TO drop into the hold of a lighter
Many Of these were moored at the
Central Railroad of New jerseys pier,
which was also completely shattered
The shock was felt for miles around.
The skyscrapers on the lower part OF
Manhattan rocked, thousands Of panes
of glass fell, plaster was shattered
and tenants fed in terror from the
buildings. believing the city was eX-
periencing violent earthquake. AS
far north as The Bronx buildings and
houses trembled.
Shock Felt at Long Branch.
New Jersey felt the shock distinctly
as far south as Long Branch, and Long
Island felt it plainly at Babylon. The
Jersey Central Railroad Station. only
q short distance from the pier where
the explosion occurred. was wrecked,
and many passengers and employees had
narrow escapes from death.
The terrific blast reaped havoc on the
waters Of the Hudson and New YORK
Harbor, Just as it did on land. Scores
of passengers on ferryboats were IN
iured by flying timberS; one mile from
the scene of the disaster a tugboat cap
tain was blown through his pllothouse
and dropped into the river with frac-
tured skull. Other smaller boats were
overturned. $50,
The exact number Of men killed was
never known Eighteen bodies were
found and identified. but 1t was CON
servatively estimated that fu4ly tnat
many others had been destroyed.
Twenty-Five workmen were known 70

sion occurred. None OF these were
afterward reported as having been
saved.
Eight Held Responsible.
Two DAYS after the explosion. war.
rants were issued for the arrests OF
eight Jersey Central employees. who
were held responsible for the disaster.
New York's explosion that reaped
the greatest toll of lives was that for
tv-fVe years ago aboard the Staten
Island ferryboat Westfeld. The boilers
Of the vessel were blown out while she
Law at her dock. Eighty-two persons
we're killed or drowned, and 125 IN
iured.
The Westfeld explosion ranks sec
ond only to what has become known
as the Park Place disaster. On August
%, 1891, chemicals in the building at
SIS Park Place blew up. Walls in the
neighborhood crumpled TO atoms, car
rying death as they fell. Fire followed
the initial explosion. A final count
showed sixty-two dead, nearly 200 in
jured, and property loss Of S5Oo,OO0.
The Barclay Street explosion in 1877
took ten lives; the subway explosion
in 1902 in front of the Murray Hill
Hotel killed five and injured twenty;

What he termed the divine

America at peace, he said was due
to the efforts of Wilson. He
openly defended the administra-
tion's course in Mexico.
Praising the presidents legisla-

an emancipation in an economic
sense just as Lincoln had been the
emancipation of the slaves.

There stands the astounding
phenomenon of American pros
perity. What is its explanation? 2"
he asked.
1.-THE Euclid of fiancial theory
worked to a demonstration meas
ures for the country's relief. He
promptly put into effect the legis-
lative expression of a great pro-
gram. He did not talk. He did
things.
HE dynamited the monetary
dams and let credit flow to the
remotest corners of the land, its
spray dashing even upon foreign
shores. He released the nation S
resources and set the energies of
all men free to exploit them. He
destroyed commercial slavery. He
struck off it's shackels.
Credit Unlimited.
"The prosperity of the nation
Is the product of craftsmanship
and financial genius.
American credit is now limit
ed only by Its own honesty ana
capacity. The cause being undls-
turbed, the effects must remain.
The schoolmaster is statesman,
the statesman is financier, the
financier Is emancipator."

big allied offensive on the
western front, are continu-

Holland dispatches agreed
today.
Troop-laden cars are going for
ward from Knocke. Belgium. They
are covered with green boughs to

Everywhere Londoners discuss
ed today the cryptic sentence of
the French semi-official report
Wednesday, which said:
THE Germans before Verdun
are maintaining an attitude of ex-
pectation in view of the menace
of events which they feel sure are
becoming more imminent"
This was declared to mean
that a big drive will start soon at
strategic moment, when the in
creasing momentum of the Rus
sian drive leaves the Germans no
choice but to have their line
smashed somewhere, either in
France or in Russia.

Eastern Stars
Put Lid Down
On Publicity

AS nearly as could be deter
mined, several hundred members
of the Order of Eastern Star
during today's session of the
2Sth annual communication
sweated through the adoption of
a resolution criticising the news
papers for mistakes and resolving
to keep all future information re-
garding the work of the grand
lodge within the archives of the
order.
According to the program. is
sued before this ukase was made
public, it appears that Mrs. Gretta
Hutchinson was slated to give an
address of welcome to the visit
ing sistern and brethren. Miss
Lillian Dilly was to have made
the response. 1t is believed this
program was carried off as
scheduled.
1t is thought the remainder of
the morning was devoted to rou-
tine business and the adoption of
resolutions. Grand officers will
be elected today, while ceremonial
work will be done by Seattle
lodge, it is thought.
The communication will close
tomorrow with the installation
of officers and other things.

the second time that day, Pennrhyn heard
the love cry that those humble, awkward
words evoked from woman's lips.
1T was when they had finished dinner,
and Mildred had already returned to
the veranda without, that the butler en-
tered with summons:
"Mr. Linton on the telephone, sir"
Pennrhyn scowled. At this moment
the summons to the tragic and sordid
reality of life came as an ugly blow.

keen mind grasped the essential thread
"Where did Roanoke Central close?"
"At 5712.'
The words spoken in New York City
came to the listeners ears as clear as if
Linton sat at the table with him. Never
theless, Pennrhyns reason refused to ac-
cept the evidence of his senses.
"5712, you said? Sure it's not 77?'
"Ha, hal" A burst of laughter empha-
sized Linton's exalted nervous condition.
