DOCTORS SAY THAW
WILL NOT SUCCUMB
Unless He Swallowed Poison
May Be Able to Leave Hos
pital in Two Weeks.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January "a
Harry X. Thaw. who slashed his throat
with a razor and cut an artery in his
wrist in an attempt to commit suicide
here yesterday, will be able to leave
the hospital within two weeks unless
he also swallowed poison tablets, ac-
cording to statements of his physicians
early today Several poison tablets
found in his pockets and if he took
any of them II may be twenty-four
hours before the symptoms manifest
themselves. the doctors say.
DR. Ellwood r. Kirby of this city, who
was summoned by the Thaw family to
attend him. said today he felt sure Thaw
had not taken poison. The physician said
Thaw showed none of the early symp-
toms OF the poison and that his condition
was satisfactory.
Thaw spent very good night and is
resting quietly, according to the resi-
dent physician of st. Mary's Hospital.
He appeared to be cheerful and spoke
pleasantly to the sister in charge of
his suite of rooms. Two detectives and
a nurse were at Thaw'S bedside all
night.
Thaw said he was hungry during the
night and was given food several times,
but efforts of the detectives to get him
to talk proved futile beyond the state
mcnt that he was glad he had not sue
ceeded in ending his life. Inquiries as
to whether he had taken poison met
with no response.

AMMUN|n0NPLANT
WRECKED BY SHELLS
Flames Cause Explosion in Ca
madam Car and Foundry Stor-
age House, New Jersey.

NEW YORK, January 12-The eighty
acre ammunition plant of the Canadian
Car and Foundry Company near Kings
land. n. j., is SCARED and blackened
ruin today, swept by flames and
ploughed by bursting shells. The fire
that started there late yesterday after
noon sill smoldered in spots. but the
firemen who stood helpless at safe
distance last night watching the ex-
plosion of half million three and six
inch shells closed in on the ruins eau
tiously.
There have been no official reports
of loss of life, and If all of the 1,40O
employees of the plant escaped their
safety is due probably to the fact that
short time intervened between the
discovery of the fire and the moment
when the flames reached the stored am
munition.
The loss estimated at more than
| 100000. is accounted for almost en-
tirely by the destruction of shells which
the company loads at this plant for the
Russian government. The rectangular
inclosure contained between forty and
fifty buildings, but these were of fimsy
construction, and it is said the company
intended to abandon them in short
time when it finished it's present con-
tract.
People Flee From Homes.
More than 1000 persons who fed from
their homes surrounding the plant to
escape the rain of projectiles were
sheltered and fed last night by the
police and charity officials of neighbor
ing towns. Some time may elapse be-
fore it is known whether any of the
fugitives lost their lives in the Hacken-
sack marshes, through which many of
them plunged in blind rush for safety.
The flames did not reach the COM
pany's magazines in which were stored
trinituluol. nitric acid, picric acid and
black powder, used in charging the
| shells. These magazines are situated
in a remote quarter of the Enclosure
and carefully protected.
Although the country Immediately
surrounding the plant was subjected
all night to a terrific bombardment the
damage was not as great as had been
feared owing to the fact that the shells
