Local theatregoers are look ing forward with great interest to the coming of D. w.. Grif- fith's colossal spectacle, '' In tolerance,'' which will be shown at the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday night, with matinees thereafter during the four days engagement. 1t is impossible to express in words the stupendousness of this of Herring. It is a four-ply story through which the pageantry of history marches.
 Each of the four stories is a pro- test of mans inhumanity to man and history is called upon to testify to the evil effects of fanaticism. In "1ntol- erance' Mr. Griffith has departed from the old forms of drama and ere aLeu q new form ol d1I eApIeooioi. whose reach is houndless, taking one from today, to Judea, Babylon, medei val France and back again, even as thoughts flash across the mind. Noth- ing like it has ever been seen on any stage and it has attracted unusual in- terest wherever shown.
 In keeping with it's policy of giv ing their patrons the best there is in vaudeville, the management of the Lyric announces an exceptionally strong biil of varied amusement for the week. Some of the headliners are among vaudeville's biggest and best acts and the bill is sure to please. Among the attractions are. e"Oh. Please MT. Detective" Edna Sweeny and her diving girls.

 'Oh, Please, MT. Detective,'' featuring Bobby Woolsey, is said to be one of the best acts of it's kind now in vaudeville. It is a musical comedy brimfull of tune |ful music, clever comedy, catchy songs pretty girls, lavish costumes and beauti- full scenery.

covered about eighty acres of ground
No munitions were manufactured at
but the plant was used for
the filling of shells, the chief constitu-
ent used being trinitrotoluol, one Of
the most powerful explosives known,
While it was estimated that nearly
100000 shells exploded, primary fuses
for caps had not been attached to
them and consequently their detona-
tons did not cause the havoc that fol-
lows their explosion when used on
European battle fronts. The roar of
the shells which sounded like a can
nonade from heavy guns, was heard
for miles, however, and the concus-
sions shook buildings within a wide
radius of the plant.
Big Magazine Safe
Two big magazines in which were
stored trinitrotoluol, nitric acids, pic
ric acids and powder were not reached
by the flames and it was believed to-
night they were not endangered.
Kingsland, Rutherford and other
places nearby, were filed tonight with
refugees who had fed from their
homes in the vicinity of the plant. A
dozen persons were arrested at Kings.
land on charges of petit larceny and
orders were issued by Sheriff Pourtier,
of Bergen County, to the guards sent
out by him in all directions, to shoot
looters
Thomas ]. Huckin, county prosecut-
or, and his assistants began tonight an
to fix responsibility for
the disaster.
Reign Of Terror Follows
The fire, which began at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon was still smoldering
late tonight in the ruins. Shells ex-
ploded continuously until 1880 o'clock
but after that hour the detonatlons
were only intermittent,
The fire, which led to the disaster,
started in what was known as Build
ing No. &c." where shells were being
cleaned with denatured alcohol. The
most generally accepted theory is that
electric wires on the ceiling became
crossed and piece of blazing insula-
ton fell into the alcohol.
A high northwest wind caused the
flames to spread rapidly.
Buildings within a radius of two
miles were shaken and almost all their
windows were shattered. Many struc-
lures were badly damaged by falling
shells and several were set on fire.
There was literal reign of terror
throughout Union township, in which
the plant Is situated.
There was continuous roar as the
flaming missiles few high into the air
end exploded. Soon the entire eighty
acres which the plant occupied seemed
to be covered with a sheet of fame.
Dense black smoke covered the coun-
tryside for miles. Sheriffs, deputies
and police from Kingsland, Lyndhurst,
Rutherford, East Rutherford, and
other places, surrounded the plant and
gradually spread out for a distance of
two miles in all directions, warning
the residents of their perils,
Within an hour after the fire started
the highways were filled with refu-
gees, men, women and children. Many
Of the women carried babies In their
arms while others pushed baby car
riages.
Most Of the refugees made their way
to kingsland and Lyndhurst. Police
stations. school buildings, stores,
saloons, and private houses were
crowded with them. Children became
separated from their parents and 1t
was not until late tonight that families
were reunited.

Tobacco Growers

Nothing, in our opinion, is SO liable
to seriously effect the present satisfac-
tory prices Of Tobacco as the over
crowdng Of the market.
Our advice to you is, bring each
wagon load to market Just as soon as
you get 1t ready. Don't delay until
you get your whole crop, or the most
OF 1t stripped. To do so will be a mis-.
take.
A steady market Is always better
than q glutted one. Don't get too
much here at once. .As our house Is
