THREE DIE IN POWDER
FACTORY EXPLOSION
Dropping Of Tray Of Detona-
tors Assigned as Cause.

Philadelphia. Sept. S.-Three men
were killed and 81 persons. including
several women, were injured in an
explosion early today at the Frank
fort arsenal. The explosion is be-
lieved to have been due to the acci-
dental dropping of a tray of detona
tors, which wrecked the building In
which primers and detonators were
dried. Eighty thousand detonators
recently completed were set off and
the fire which followed destroyed
three small structures adjoining. Tho
less is placed at 100000.
The arsenal Is at present under a
congressional investigation at Wash.
ington for defective explosives in small
arms. The explosion today. however
was In a department entirely sep
arated from that being investigated.

Close in Maryland. .

Baltimore. Sept. S.-When the fed
eral law forbidding the manufacture
of whiskey as a beverage went into
effect at II o'clock tonight it found
all but one of the 81 distilleries in the
Maryland district closed. These plants
usually shut down for three months
in the summer. and the effect of the
law on the working force therefore
will not be especially serious, as most
of the employees had gone into other
occupations. Three of the distillers,
it is understood viii engage in the
manufacture of alcohol for CONNER
cial purposes.
The money invested in the distilling
plants of tke district is between s.,
900. 900 and SO, 900, 900.

Russia's probable line IN Lovonia.
