Meanwhile. Chief Miller and the man
ne had arrested both slept soundly with

The du Pont company's statement is
as follows:
Every person employed in the works

announced that there were only two
deaths. and of the nine injured only
two had 20 remain in the hospital.
The property loss is estimated by
the company at not more than 100000.
These figures include the value Of the

more than 100000 which will be re

Village Not Ruin
THE reports that the village Of
Haskell was a blackcned ruin are so
grossly exaggerated as TO be ridiculous
Every man slept in his own bed Satur-
day night. and no residents were at any
time 'Smothered in the ruins The
village Of Haskell, though much nearer
the scene of the explosion, suffered
even less than did Pompton Lakes, a
mile and a half away.
Another sensational report which
the officials brand as false was that
very large quantities of nitroglycerin
were stored under the bed of the river.
A. a matter of fact. only a few hum
dred pounds of this explosive arc ever
kept at the plant.
NO consideration at all is given 20

disaster was unusual in its magnitude
and in many of its features, but the
initial explosion started in the 'swcetie'
barrel. as the house is known where
the powder is glazed. This house was
blown TO pieces. and the two men oper-
ating the machine were killed. No
Vegtige Of the machinery has been
found, and it is impossible to give the
exact cause. but the engineers and OK
perts who have had TO deal with these
things before. and who made the in

that the whole trouble was started by
an overheated bearing.

TWO HEAD TEAMS TIED
CongresationaIists Win Over the Bap-
lists, Putting Them Even With
ST. PauI's-Everybody's
Scrap Now.

The st. Paups were humbled by
the Christians in the game played
at the "Y" gym last evening, and
topple off the top. Although the Ger
mans outplayed their opponents, get
ting the better end of the fielding
and having stronger battery, the
Christians had two lucky innings and
won the game in the last inning. The
result of this game is the greatest
surprise of the season, and makes
the outcome Of the league more un-
certain than ever.
In the second game the Congrega-
tionals won over the Bautists by a
very close score. This game was
marked by excellent fielding on the
part of both teams and although the
Baptists made a strong effort to win
IN the fifth, the game ended with the
Congregationalist slightly in the lead.
Two fast games are slated for Fri
day night Of this week The West
minister's meet the Trinitys at SIS
and ST Paul's meet the Congrega-
tionals at 9:15. Big changes in the
standing of these teams are expect
ed. The tabulated scores of the
games last evening follow:

A FEW GAMES
IN THE WEST

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-Western foot
ball will be formally inferred tomor-
row, save for a few service games to
be played Saturday between various
national army teams.
The greatest interest will center in
the clash between the officers team
Of Fort Sheridan and the jackies'
eleven Of the Great Lakes naval
training station on Stage field. The
two squads contain several former
an-American selections.
Syracuse and Nebraska meet In an
intersectional tussle at Lincoln, but
neither team has displayed enough
class this year to cause any excite
ment over tomorrow's offering.
The remainder Of the gam es on
the western schedule are purely Of
local interest.

resting here today after two weeks
hard conditioning in preparation for
ten round go tonight at the Stock

A crowd of 200, anxious to get a

yesterday afternoon.
A record crowd has purchased
seats for the bout tonight. Kirk has
a record of never being f7oored and

only change hands in case of knock
out OF foul y
