Camden JailerS Fear Attempt

SIXTH MAN ESCAPES;
MAY BE DETECTIVE

While the jailors in Camden have no
great fear that the five yeggmen
caught robbing the postoflice at
Pennsgrove Saturday morning could
escape. they are using extra precau-
tions to prevent a jail delivery be-
cause of a few questions the prisoners
yesterday asked others in confinement.
The robbers wanted to know how
many men were employed to protect
the Jail. and whether or not the jailors
were armed at all times. They also
wanted to know If Il would be pos
sible tJ communicate with outsiders.
The five prisoners were held under
$4,000 bail each by United States
Commissioner Joline on Saturday.
These fellows have friends" said
one OF the Jail officers yesterday. "and
their friends must also be desperate
characters like themselves. Il would
be through the friends on the outside
that an escape might be made pos
sible."
When he was asked II il would be
possible to communicate with out
siders from cells without the knowl-
edge of the jailors. one OF the officers
replied Hardly. but you never can
tell when you have to deal with such
desperate criminals"

Two Revolving Copper Barrels, Each Loaded
With Black Powder and Chemicals, Ex-
plOded Shortly After New Force Went On
Duty. Bodies Of Victims, Mangled and
Scarcely Recognizable, Recovered in the
Wrecked Building
HEAVY IRON LID HURLED 500 FEET
and CRASHES THROUGH MILL ROOF

With roar like a battery OF AZ
centimetre guns. black powder glaz-
ing mill at the Carney's point plant OF
the DUPONT Powder Company blew up
at 1920 o'clock this morning.
Three workmen were killed, but no.
body was injured. The men who lost
their lives were:
Richard J. Larney or No. 81 Gibson
street, Philadelphia. foreman OF the
mill that was destroyed,
John Walsh. also known as John
Dutch. of Nyack, N. Y.
r. Clyde Wynn, OF Pennsgrove. n. J.
The men who gave up their lives
were employed In the glazing mill. and
their bodies were badly mangled and
hardly recognizable.
A fourth man who belonged TO the
crew failed 10 report for work with
his companions and his life was saved
because OF his absence from work.
The three lad gone to work at 12
o'clock, when the shifts we're changed,
and they had been at work but twenty
minutes when the explosion occurred.
No cause Is assigned for the casual
ty, and IL is regarded as one Of those
accidents that occur in the operation
OF powder plant that cannot definite
J ly be accounted for. The fact that the
I explosion took place twenty minutes
after a new shift OF workmen went on
duty causes a belief that the hlow-uT
may have occurred in connection with
a recharging Of the glazing mill with
fresh quantity OF powder and chem.
icals.
Sensational reports that the explosion
was far more serious than it really turn
ed out TO be were circulated after tn
explosion. Among the grossly. .exagger
nted reports due 10 an inability 70
many hours to obtain definite informa
tion, was one that as many as thirt,
persons had been killed. and that spe
cial train was rushing wounded victim
10 Camden. As soon as he could Obtain
definite information. c. B. lands. of tn
powder company, gave IL TO the news
paper representatives and this dissipate,
much of the fear of great loss of life
The powder that exploded was of
black, semi smokeless grade. and wa
in machine used for glazing the ex
plosive grains. II is known among tn
powder workmcn among the powde
workmen as a "sweetic machine"
The glazing mill was in c row il

rels into which powder is placed, alonl
with a quantity of graphite benzoin anl
another chemical. The barrels then ar
revolved and the powder grains gradu
ally become glazed the desired color. Tn
powder being treated at the time Of tn
explosion was semi -smokeless sporting
powder that also is used for certail
military purposes. and differs from th
generally-used smo loss powder.
Il was while the "sweetie" machine

up occurred. The two turnip- shaped

pounds Of powder and there we're two

PAINTING OF JOHN VINING, JR., GIFT OF
MRS. EUGENE DUPONT TO THE STATE
Composite Portrait Of Dis
tinguiShed Son Of Della
ware From the Brush Of
CIaWSOn S. Hammitt
NO PHOTOGRAPH OF
SUBJECT IS FOUND

On exhibition in the window Of
Millard f. Davis store, Tenth and
Market streets, is the portrait OF John
Nining, Jr., who was a cousin of Mrs.
Eugene DUPONT Those who attended
the State portrait exhibit given last
March at the y. =. G. A., will recall
that at that time Mrs. DUPONT presented
the State with several fine historical
paintings. among which was that OF
John Nining, Sr.. father Of the subject
now on exhibition.
Although John Nining, Jr.. was such a
renowned historical character, and of a
family possessing unusual lines of
beauty, there seems TO be no picture OF
him in existence, and no record can be
found as to his ever having one made.
Since his life was such ono as TO
have been most worthy contribution
to the histor~ of Delaware's great men,
and to the history of the United States
he deserves some place Of honor in the
State Capitol along with other great
men.
This mark Of respect rendered him
by Mrs. DUPONT is most fitting. Since
there was no picture Of him in ex-
istence, she conceived the idea OF hav-
one painted as a composite from the
characteristics OF the various men,
bers of the family OF whom there are
paintings in existence, and through
! the artistic ingenuity OF the we'll
known portrait painter. Clawson s.

GALLIPOLI ARMY
TO Strike ENEMY
IN OTHER FIELDS
DardanelleS Campaign Aban-
doned by Allies, Will
Move Into Egypt
FLEET ALSO Released FOR
OPERATIONS elsewhere
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
LONDON, Jan. 10.-Turkish forces
estimated at more than 100000 have
been released for use in other fields
of war by action of the Allies in
completely abandoning the Dardan-
elles campaign. They comprise the
prize corps of the Turkish army, hard
fighters seasoned I'm fierce battles On
Gallipoli. The greater part of this
force il is believed here, will be
thrown at once into the proposed
Egyptian campaign or sent into Meso-
pOtamia to aid the attempt to drive
the British out Of the Garden of Eden.
With them will 90 several thousand
heavy guns and field pieces Of all cali
Der, employed by the Turks in with
standing the nine months assault Of
the Anglo-French troops from Sedd-ul-
Bahr and Suvla Bay. Less than 10000
men. it is estimated mere, will be re-
quired to garrison the Dardanelle5
forts for the remainder of the war.
No hint as to what disposition will
be made Of the Anglo--French
forces withdrawn from Gallipoli is
permitted to be made public by
the censor. There is consider
able speculation, however, as to
the possibilities both in the Balkans
and in Egypt. Climatic conditions on
Gallipoli have particularly fitted the
Dardanelles troops for operations in
Egypt should they be needed
A large fleet Of battleships, cruisers
submarines, destroyers, mine sweep
ers and other war craft were set free
for operations elsewhere with the
abandonment Of the Dardanelles at
tempt.
Details Of the evacuation Of the last
positions at Sedd-ul-Bahr we're still
! lacking today. The London public
however, takes no stock in Constants
nople dispatches transmitted through
Amsterdam reporting that the Allies
losses were extremely heavy.
The Daily Express, commenting OF
the official report Of General MonrI
that British casualties consisted o
one man wounded and that the Frencl
suffered no losses, declared that tn
withdrawal was ''the most gloriou
failure in history"
The other papers voiced similar ex
pressions OF satisfaction that tn
troops had been withdrawn withou
heavy slaughter.
That complete evacuation OF tn,
Gallipoli positions was inevitable
was generally understood here afte
the surrender of the positions a
Suvla Bay and in the Anzac region
to the Turks. The Turkish com
manders at once transferred theil
Suvla Bay forces to Sedd-ul-Bahr ant
