BLAST WRECKS DUPONT PLANT
400. 600 Pounds of Powder Blow
Up at Haskell, N. J.
Flames Leap Across River To Drying
Houses, After Wrecking
Glazing Barrel.

New York.-Four hundred thousand
pounds Of powder was destroyed by
fire and explosion at the Haskell, N. j.,
plant of the du Pont Powder Com
pany. Officials Of the company de-
clared after checking up the members
of the night shift at the works that
only two men were missing. Twelve
others were cut by flying debris, but
none of them was seriously hurt. No
estimate of the loss was obtainable.
There were two distinct explosions,
the force 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 maga-
zines blew up, but the powder in the
others was consumed by the flames.
The blazing magazines set fire to
the screening house, from which the
flames leaped across WanaQue River
and consumed three drying houses on
the other side. At this point the fire
was checked by the efforts Of the CON-
pany's employees.
Other buildings in the plant and
many in the village, which was built
in semicircle around the works, were
shattered by the force of the concus-
sion, which was by far the most severe
ever experienced at Haskell.
No estimate was available Of the
number of men at work when the dis
aster occurred, but as soon as the
terror caused by the explosions had
subsided somewhat the company's Of
ficials began rounding up their men
to check up the casualties. It is feared
that two who were employed in the
glazing barrel" lost their lives.
The concussion blew tremendous
hole in the side of mountain, near
which the plant was built.
The countryside was terrorized by
the explosion.
The powder plant is located in an
isolated section of Passaic county. All
telegraph and telephone lines were
blown down, making it difficult to OBJ
tain information.
