CARNEY'S POINT. Jan. 10.-Three
men were killed and n number in
iured in an explosion of smokeless
powder carly today at the powder
plant of the e. l. du Pont de Nemours
Company here. 1t had been report
ed that a large number of men lost
their lives, but after an investiga-
tion the superintendent of the plant
said that only three were dead, and
possibly four.
The cause of the explosion is not
known, but, according 10 the super
intendent there IS no suspicion that
the blast was due to outside agencies.
The report that arrests had been
made were denied
The dead are. John Walsh, of
Nyack. N Y; Richard J. Larney, Of
Philadelphia, and T. Clyde Wynn, ad-
dress not known.
The superintendent of the plant said
the victims were employees, but that
they had no business in that part of
the works where the explosion oe-
Cured.
The blast was a terrific one, and
was felt twenty-five miles away. Wire
communication with the plant was
cut off by the shock, with the result
that the widest rumors prevailed
until daylight cleared up the extent
of the accident. The property loss Is
small, as the explosion occurred in a
small building of No. | plant of the
works. 1t was some distance from the
main buildings
Denies Rumors of Arrests.
One of the reports in circulation was
that government agents and secret
service men from the du Pont police
force had been watching suspicious
persons who went to the plant from
Wilmington. Del. by boat, and that
two, carrying bomb and fuses, had
been arrested. c. B. Lands, a rep
resentative of the company, branded
all these reports as false. Nothing
ever occurs at the powder works of
the du Pont company but that some
one loads one or two men up with
bombs and dynamite and puts them
under arrest" said Mr. Lands.
"There is nothing to the plot theory"

The Newark Musicians Club now
boasts of nearly 200 members, and
new applications are being received
continually, not only from musicians
of this city and the suburbs, but also
from New York.
Since its organization this club has
worked for the advancement of mu-
sic in Newark. By bringing the mem
bers into one big organization it has
been able to accomplish great deal,
all of which is deserving of great
credit.
1t was through the work of the
Newark Musicians Club that the
Newark Music Festival was or
ganized and made such tremendous
success last May. At the concerts
the members occupied four boxes
and occupied important places in the
gigantic chorus and orchestra. By
means of its first public concert last
March the club inaugurated the mu-
nieipal organ fund and is RESPONSE
Bile for the present campaign to in
crease the subserintions. The mem
bers also worked diligently and hard
to have the voters of Newark agree
to a municipal building.
The Newark Musicians Club is also
responsible for the present plans
which are meeting with such favor
all over the State to form a New Jer-
sey State Federation of Musicians.
1t is planned to hold the first con-
vention in this city under the aus
pices of the local club during the
week of the music festival. 1t is also
through the influence and actual
work of the members of the club
that the Paterson and Jersey City
clubs were organized, both of which
to very large extent have followed
the bylaws of the local society.
The meeting of the committee on
public affairs will be held tonight in
the home of CHARLES Grant Shaffer Is
Hedden terra,a TO discuss the plans
of the proposed May convention. This
committee will also consider cam
paign for increasing the municipal
organ fund.
The members of the committee are
Charles Grant Shaffer. chairman: J.
II. Huntington. ir.. Louise Westwood.

ORDER PROBE OF
TUBERCULOSIS
CONTINUED from First Page0

only those cows that are free of tu-
bercular infection, and the duty of the
health authorities Of the locality is
to eliminate all infected cows from
the milk herds. The veterinarian is
the public's chief bulwark of safety.
II an infected COW slips past him the
fact Is not likely to be disclosed until
the cew is no longer dangerous-tnat
is when the COW has been slaughtered
and an examination of it's internal or
gans has disclosed its tubercular con-
dition.
That numerous tubercular cows
have slipped by the examining vet
erinarians, is the reason for the pres
ent situation. State health men are
inclined to believe the presence of
these cows in the herds results from
the failure of the veterinarians TO rea-
lie the full precautions which are re-
quired of them.
II is not and cannot be expected that
in every instance a physical eXamina-
ton will reveal tubercular tatnt in
the cows. But there is no need for
the examiners to accept the failure
OF a physical examination to indicate
ll-health, as final proof that the
animal is fit for a place in the milk
herd. There is a further and prae=
tically infallible test. This is the
tuberculin test. Frequent failures by
veterinarians to call for this test,
when there was reason to suspect
cows had tubercular infection not dis
closed by the examination, have been
the loop-holes through which unfit
milk has reached the public.
Danger of Contagion in the Herds.
In ma ing explanation, a member of
ofa phn
been found to be practically free of
unfit cattle, stated that some veteri-
narians condemn "wheezers" as tuber-
cular, but do not go any deeper
when cattle in the same herd with the
'wheezers' do not disclose tuDereular
symptoms in a physical examination.
He declared that the mere presence
of q "wheezer" in a herd is sufficient
to put every other COW in the herd
under suspicion. "When veteri-
marian finds 'wheezer' he should at
once notify the State department,
which would then call upon the state
tuberculosis Commission to send eX-
perts to apply the tuberculin test to
the othe.. cattle in the herd, he said.
In the last few weeks, since the
state department suspicious became
aroused, a number of cases have been
reported in which COWS which have
been in the same herd with animals
that were obviously tubercular have,
after being passed by the reterinar-
ians, been revealed by the tuberculin
test as themselves affected and unfit
for milk production. Without the
tuberculin test only the single
''wheezer' would have been eliminated
from the herd and the rest would have
continued endangering the public.
At Thursdays meeting the Veter-
inarians viii be shown the Importance
Of at once reporting to the state de-
partment any cows that are in the
least entitled to suspicion. With this
step taken. and with prompt subse-
quent action by the state department
and the tuberculosis commission. the
herds of the State will be rapidly
cleaned up and danger of tubereulaf
milk from cows reported as healthy,
or from any source will, the State au-
thorities believe, disappear.

Reads Candidacy Unites
South Jersey for Edge
special to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Jan. 10.-Several South
Jersey Republicans who are friendly
TO the candidacy of Senator Walter
E. Edge, of Atlantic City, said today
that a wrong construction politically
is being put upon the talk of Senator
Read, of Camden, for State treasurer.
According to Edges friends, instead
of clearing the way for Senator Col
gate of Essex, as the candidate for
governor, the naming of Senator Read
as treasurer and his withdrawal as
possible South Jersey candidate for
governor clears away the only OBJ
stacle to a united South Jersey for
Senator Edge for governor.

BEN HUR PLEASED
Good Sized Audiences Greeted
Two Performances.

The historical and religious pageant
drama Ben Hur, presented by Trinity
Church Guild at the Municipal Theatre
last Friday and Saturday evenings,
highly pleased the people of this COM
munity. There was a good sized aud :
ience present Friday evening; and
many were the spontaneous expressions
of appreciation. Saturday evening the
attendance was somewhat larger; and
would have been larger still, only for
the falling rain, as many who saw it
the first night called to their friends
from out Of town not to miss it.
The successful presentation of this
great play reflects credit upon Mrs
Anna Hooking Smith, director; J. w.
Anderson, pianist; the Municipal Thea
tire orchestra; and the musical and
dramatic talent of the community.
