Dems Bid For
Goodwill of
Progressives

NEW YORK, July 31.-Vance
c. Mccormick, chairman of the
democratic national committee,
has given out the following state
ment:
1.-THE democratic party can rea-
sonably put itself forward in the
present national campaign as the
one available fundamentally for
progressive service. Its record of
performance and its declared in
tentions justify confident feel
ing that the great body of voters
who identified themselves with
the progressive party in the hope
of being enabled to promote q
definite set of principles will now
look to the democratic party as
the party of progress. When there
is full appreciation of the extent
to which the democratic party has
contaminated the purposes set
forth in that wonderfully human
document adopted as the progress
sive platform in 1912, when the
progressives actually realize how
closely their purposes, declared
in 1912, coincide with the pur-
posse which have animated the
democratic party since that time
lboth in the formulation OF the

plosion. Four men are now
known to be dead. One body was
seen floating in the bay.
Scores of boxes of dynamite are
floating about, and ship captains
have ben warned.
Prosecuting Attorney Hudspath
declares every railroad terminal
ing in New Jersey has flagrantly
violated the laws regulating stor-
age of high explosives.
NEW YORK, July 31.-Offi-
Gals of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
way and of the National Storage
Co. say reports to them today in
dictate that the explosions of mu-
nitions stored in Black Tom
Island, a small strip of land jut-
ting into New York bay off Jer-
sey City, at s minutes after 2
O'Clock Sunday morning, were
caused by fire which started
shortly after / o'clock on a barge
belonging to an independent tow
ing company.
The barge had been moored
alongside a dock used by the rail-
road company in transferring the
munitions from trains to vessels.
The barge, it is said, was there
without authority from either the
railroad or the storage company.
It's name has not been given out,
as investigations are under way
to ascertain whether the fire was
accidental or "the result of a
plot"
Warrants charging manslaugh-
ter were issued late Sunday even
ing for Albert M. Dickman, agent
for the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Co., Theodore B. Johnson, of the
Johnson Lighterage & Towing
Co.. and Alexander Davidson, sup
erintendent of the National Stor-
age Co.
They are accused of having H.
legally permitted explosives to be
stored where human life would be
endangered.
Their cases have been postpon-
ed until Friday and they are at
liberty on $4,000 bail.
Following is a graphic account
OF a man who lived through the
explosion:

An appeal for organized labor
to stand together in a fight
against the so-called "open shop"
agitation was made by speakers at
the public mass meeting at
Wright park Sunday afternoon.
Nearly 1000 men, women and
children attended.
The menace to the unions of
the present "open shop" campaign
was pointed out by organized Ia
Dor leaders.
Rea Last, secretary of the Ia
coma Central Labor Council, who
presided, declared that the pur-
pose of the meeting was to give
the public a clear-cut idea of the
labor situation attending the

Jared from bed by a titanic burst
Sunday morning.
My first drowsy thought was,
"An earthquake"
Thousands fled into the street
in their nightclothes, and remain

buildings to collapse.
Lights went out, many clocks
and watches stopped, doors crash
ed inward. roofs were ripped off,
brick chimneys fell, flashes as IL
or lightning shot 100 feet sky
ward, and the flames rose to the
zenith.
BOOSTERS began to crow; ambu-
lances and fire engines changed
past.
Crash Upon Crash.
Suddenly the entire world
seemed split open. My ear drums
almost broke. A pillar OF flame
shot skyward, with a huge smoke
ring whirling above, which as
Bumed a mushroom shape.
Then came another crash. My

David Irwin, international or

Like War Scene,

The bombardment started from
the harbor. There we're continu-
Gus heavy explosions, and many
smaller ones.
Nurses who were rushed to the
scene kept their heads and work
ed coolly, carrying the policemen
who had been injured from the
houses.
When day came, the ground
for miles around resembled the
war correspondents descriptions
of ruined fortresses.
Twisted steel bars weighing 10
pounds were found three miles
from the scene.
