POWDER WORKS SCENE IF BIC
 EXPLOSION
 eU' SOStS q
Two Magazines of New Jersey Du Pont Powder Works Ex- plode Creating Havoc and, Possibly, Killing Several.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

NEW YORK;, Jan. 12.-Four hun dred thousands pounds of powder was destroyed by fire and explosion at the Haskell, N. J., plant of the Du Pont Powder Company at 9:30 o'clock tonight Officials of the company declared after checking up the mem bers of the night shift at the works that only two men were missing. Twelve others were cut by flying de bris but none of them were seriously hurt No estimate of the loss was obtainable.
 There were two distinct explosions the first of which was terrific. Build ings were shaken and windows shat tered far out on Long Island and up the Hudson river to Poughkeepsie.
 The first explosion was in what is known as 'the glazing barrel" The fire which resulted spread quickly to the blending house and from there to three magazines. One of the mag azines blew up but the powder in the others was consumed by the flames. At this point the fire was checked by efforts of the company's employees.
 Other buildings in the plant and many in the village which was built in semi-circle around the works were shattered by the force of the concus- sion which was by far the most se- were ever experienced at Haskell. It is feared that two men who were em- ployed in the glazing barrel lost their lives. All the doctors available were summoned as were the Franciscan Brothers from Butter, some distance away.
 Haskell is situated in a remote sec ton of Passiac county and communi- cation with it by telephone or tele- graph was closed after the explosion. Reports of heavy loss of life were cir culated in nearby places.
 Following so closely upon the heels of the disaster at Kingsland, of the Canadian Car and Foundry Company, the explosion threw all northern New Jersey into a panic. The sky was crimsoned by the conflagration and the flames were plainly visible as far away as New York
 The shock of the explosion was so great that many persons in New York, Brooklyn, and New Jersey citias twenty miles away believed, there had hen an earthnuake Strange ly enough the concussion semed to be less severe a short distance from Haskell.

Thaw, was today held without bail to await requisition papers from New York.
 Brewers hearing was brief. As sistant District Attorney Black, of New York, informed the magistrate that the crime with which it is al- legged Bower was connected was par ticularly atrocious. Henry Scott, counsel for Brewer, said that his client had nothing to do with the crime charged against Thaw. He contended that as Thaw was really the only man wanted and is now in custody, there was no reason for holding Brewer. He said that Brewer was business friend of Thaw in Pittsburg and that the papers bearing on the Gump case which were found in Bowers posses

$16,OO0,OO0 Amount Which Went Into Smoke Thursday Evening When Canadian Car Company Burns. OFFICIALS ISSUE
 STATEMENT ON FIRE It Is Intimated That Fire Was Probably of Incendiary Ori- gin-Russian Government Greatest Loser.
fRv Review Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-Until in vestigation is completed no statement will be made as to what evidence of incendiarism has been found, it was said by an officer of the company. It was found that the danger of fire or of explosions from purely accidental causes was reduced to minimum by the fact that there was no completed ordnance at the plant. The officer said propelling charges for shells were not attached until they reached the battle field and that the same was true of the detonating caps by which the trin- itrotuluol in the shell bodies is ex- ploded.
 The explosion heard during the fire, he said, was caused by the melting ard expansion from the heat of the trim itrotulucl blowing of the temporary caps screwed in the place for the de tonating caps.
 The statement follows:
 "In march, 1915, the Canadian Car and Foundry company entered into contracts with the Russian govern ment to supply ,5000,000 rounds of three inch ammunition, half shrapnell and half high explosive shells.
 These contracts were partly con- pleted by March, 1916, and on March 8, 1916, they were assigned to a New York corporation agency of the Can adian Car and Foundry company, Ltd. which took over the two main Russian contracts and all subsidiary contracts and supplies and undertook to com plete and deliver the full quantity oi 5.O00,000 rounds.
 "The agency of Canadian Car and Foundry company Ltd. had large plant near Kingsland, N. J., for the purpose of assembling, packing and preparing these shells for shipment. No shells were manufactured on the premises. There were employed iron time to time at Kingsland from 5000 to 4,O00 men.
 "The two contracts were practically completed, large quantity of shells had been delivered in storage at Kings land to the representatives of the Rus sian government and the balance of shells were being assembled and pack ed yesterday when fire took place in one of the large buildings used for cleaning shells.
 "The buildings destroyed were valu. ed at s750,OO0. The value of the con tents of the buildings destroyed amounted approximately s16,0O0,000 of which s6, 6,OO0 900 belonged to the com pany The company was protected to the amount of about S3,000,000 in in- surance on the buildings and contents, the rest was a total loss.
 An inquiry into the circumstances attending the fire in building No. 90 has created the impression that it is possible, if not probable. that the fire was of incendiary origin.
 "The entire plant was most carefully guarded and every safeguard known ro science had been installed and every possible provision made to safeguard the adjoining premises against in juries resulting from the explosion.
 The company had secured insur. ance in favor of the inhabitants of Kingsland which we understand will more than cover any loss or damage to buildings in that town. The reports with regard to the fire are somewhat exaggerated"
