investigation: Manufacturer
May Be Prosecuted

Three dwelling houses were prac-
tically demolished and a woman seri
ously injured yesterday when a guam
tity of powder stored in a chicken
coop near the home of d. .Shimonishi,
a japanese manufacturer OF fireworks,
exploded. The scene Of the accident
is in School street, near the Asylum
read.
The woman, n Japanese, was badly
cut by broken glass, which few in all
directions, and was removed to the
Japanese Hospital in Liliha street,
where her wounds were attended to.
Sbimonishi was taken to the police sta.
ton, and, it is expected, will be
charged with having explosives on his
property without the proper permit.
So far as the authorities We're able
to discover yesterday, the powder was
touched of by sun rays DETECTED in
some manner of the glass of door in
the chicken coop. - y. q.
Report Heard Over Large Area
The report Of the explosion was
heard and the shock felt over quite an
area of the neighborhood Many win.
dows were broken aud doors displaced
or jammed and considerable damage
done to sdjoining property. The pow.
der had been buried beneath a chicken
coop in the Shimonishi premises. After
the explosion the yard was strewn with
dead fowl. ..
In an adjoining building there was
stored large supply of powder and
bombs. this building was destroyed,
but in some manner the combustibles
failed to go off. Greater damage and
probably loss of life would have re-
suited had the reverse, been the case,
An occupied tenement house was also
demolished. Shimonishi's home was
wrecked. The total damage was est
mated at about $500
Investigation by the detectives who
worked on the case disclosed a regu
lurly operated fireworks factory. Three
large cans of powder and about l5O
bombs were confscated by the police
and held by them -assevidence against
Shimonishi.
Fire Chief Has Explanation
According to Fire Chief Thurston
the explosion was caused probably by
the direct rays Of the sun shining upon
a glass door of the chicken coop. The
rays, intensified and concentrated in
this manner, reflected on the ground OF
the coop and produced the heat which
touched off the explosives! J.
At the time of the explosion many

not killed.
Fire Chief Thurston and the police
are still working on the case, and it il

BERLIN, August The federal

since July, 1914, must be suspended
The ground taken by the Council is
that labor Is now too scarce in Ger.

Notwithstan ding the pressure of the

Accident

As the, result of, a crash between

Bodies Badly Mangled
=, The fact that the accident came at
night was one of its worst features, as
il was impossible to determine exactly
what the casualties were for a long
time. Two men were killed outright by
the crash and eleven, others, who were
seriously enough hurt, were rushed to
the plantation hospital as soon as help
could be summoned. The bodies Of the
killed were horribly mangled as were
some Of the injured who are now in
the hospital. 1t was necessary for the
hospital attendants to cut the clothes
from several Of the victims Of the
wreck before the injuries could be
dressed.
The matter was at once brought ia
the attention Of Deputy Sheriff John
Fernandez. coroaer FOR the district, and
the finding has not yet been made
public.
Caused BY Lack Of Light
1t is often a custom on plantations
to carry up trains of empty cars al
night in order to be ready for the next
mornings cut. The trouble in this
case seems to be in the fact that there
was no light on the first car on the
labOrers train which could be seen by
the engineer of the locomotive hauling
the empties. Because of the fact that
the plantation woTkmen are generally
through in the fields before dark, there
was no way in which the engineer OF
the upgrade could know that his track
was not clear.
