HASKELL EXPLOSION
Loss IS 100000
Officials Of dupont Com
pany Believe Overheated
Bearing Caused Blow-up
DAMAGE NOT GREAT
IN WORKERS VILLAGE

Telling Of conditions at Haskell
n. J.. as a result Of Friday nights
explosion in the smokeless powder
plant there. officials Of the dupont
Company returned yesterday, assert
ing that the damage to the plant and
the Village will not exceed 100000
Through the publicity department the
DUPONT officials last night issued the
following statement;
Every person IN the works was
accounted for. and II Is officially an
nounced that there we're only two
deaths and Of the nine injured only
two had TO remain in the hospital.
THE property loss is estimated by
tho company at the outside as not
more than 100000. These figures
include the value Of the powder de-
stroyed $500 000-and not more than
500 600 which Will be required TO
put the destroyed parts OF the plant
IN working order again. Il is pos
slble that a few thousand dollars,
certainly not more than $3.50 may
ba added to this to pay for the dam
age done 10 the surrounding pro-
perty. This damage consists prin-
cipally OF broken glass in neighbor-
ing villages.
"The reports that the village Of
Haskell was a blackened ruin are so
grossly exaggerated as to be ridicu-
lous Every man slept in his own bed
Saturday 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 half away. The
force Of the explosion confined be-
tween the rocky sides OF the Wanaque
river swept down the valley and shat
tered moro glass at the distant village
Than nearby.
Another sensational report which
the officials brand as false was that
very large quantities OF nitro-glycer-
inc were stored under the bed of the
river. As a matter OF fact, only few
hundred pounds OF this explosive are
kent at the plant This, of course, is
kept under water I'm a building remote
from the others and is taken out only
as needed.
"No consideration al all Is given
TO the suggestion that the explosion
might have been due to a plot. The
disaster was unusual in its magnitude
and In many OF It's features.
The officials express the opinion
that an overheated bearing in the
glazing mill machinery caused the
original explosion.
A man was arrested at Haskell yes

terward. The dupont officials say
