NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Two
thunderous munitions plant explo-
sions. coming within Sc hours OF

damage. gave rise today to ugly re
ports of war plots.
Last nights explosion at the Du
Pont plant in Haskell, y. j., follow
ed so closely on the wreckage of the
Canadian Car < Foundry company
works in Kings land, that officials are
frankly suspicious that it was no
coincidence of accidents.
on the surface, officials of both
the Du Pont plant and the Canadian
works are accepting the explosions
the total damage of which will
reach probably more than $4,000

are conducting secret investigations.
This was admitted today.
Can't Fix Life Loss.
Like the Kingsland disaster. il

loss of life in the Haskell explosion.
Four hundred thousand pounds OF
smOkeless powder went roaring
skyward in a series of mighty blasts
which were felt in four states. Per-
sons a mile away were knocked fiat
on their faces, and as far away as
Springfield, Mass, the jar was felt.
At least six men were killed al
Haskell. Some 500 were working in
the plant at the time, but they fled
for safety over the hills and marsh
es in which the factory nestles. and
il will be some time before these can
be checked up.
So terrific was the force of the
explosion that the General Artistic
Weaving Co, a mile north Of Has

loss there is estimated a. 5000
The monetary loss Of the Du Points
was fixed today in the neighborhood
OF S2.5OO,OOO.

Residents of Haskell declared to-
day that il is highly improbable that
the loss of life is so slight as set
forth by the company officials. They
said 1000 men working in shifts

zone and it is not likely that they all
