MUNITIONS PLANT BLOWS UP
Two Are Killed, Several Hurt and $16,-
100000 Property Loss In the
Bio EXPLOSION.

New York-Four hundred thousand
pounds of powder was destroyed by
fire and explosion at the Haskell, N.
j., plant OF the DUPONT Powder COM
pany. Officials of the company de-
clared. 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 was seriously
hurt.
There were two explosions. 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 to the
blending house and from there to
three magazines. The blazing maya
zines set fire to the screening house,
from which the flames leaped across
Wanaque river and consumed three
drying houses, after which they were
checked
Haskell is situated in remote
section of Passaic county and com.
munication with it either by telephone
or telegraph ceased after the first ex-
plosion.
Following so closely upon the heels
OF the destruction of the Kingsland
plant Of the Canadian Car G. Foundry
company, the explosion threw all
northern New Jersey into a panic.
The shock of the explosion was SO
great that many persons in New York,
Brooklyn and New Jersey cities, 20
miles fran Haskell, believed there
had been an earthquake.
The concussion blew a tremendous
hole in the side of a mountain, near
which the plant was built.
The plant was kept in operation day
and night, and the night shift was at
work when the magazine blew up.
Every house in the village of Pomp-
ton Lake, more than two miles from
Haskell, was damaged by the explo-
sion.

WANTS EXTRA SESSION
EXTRA SESSION OF MISSISSIPPI
ASSEMBLY BEING URGED BY
CITIZENS or STATE.
Governor 5iIbo 10 6esiesed BY citI-
xens To Calf Extra Session Of Leais-
Iature to Erect More Stringent
Liquor Laws.

Jackson.--Mississippi faces an extra
session Of Its legislature which may be
called to meet within the next so days
by Governor Theo. G. Bilbo. The ses-
sion, II called, will be for the purpose
OF revising the existing laws prohibit
ing the sale of liquor In this state and
limiting shipments, so as to prohibit
the shipment of intoxicating drinks
into the state
The recent action of the United
States Supreme Court In declaring the
West Virginia law prohibiting common
carriers bringing liquor into the state
is responsible for desire on the part
OF some to have Mississippi go still fur
ther with her drastic whiskey laws.
Governor Bilbo states that he fs re-
ceiving kilograms from all sections Of
the state urging that an extra session
be called at once. He states that many.
Of these kilograms come from legisla-
tors.
The existing "quartat-a-time" law
was passed at the recent session OF the
legislature and at the time it was
thought that 1t was the limit in pre-
ventive and prohibitive measures. Blu.
since that time more enterprising
states have gone so far as to enact
legislation prohibiting liquor shipped
into the state at all. The question
was taken before the Supreme Court
Of the United States and but few
days ago ruling was given which al
lows the states to absolutely control
the common carriers entering and
within their boundaries.
The present laws have not prohibit
ed or prevented liquor in every county
of the state and the call of a special
session is taken by some to indicate
that the present laws are in some
senses failure.
The legislature as 1t exists at pres
ent is largely prohibition and the
chances of passing law prohibiting
liquor being brought into the state at
all are good. 1t would take two-thirds
vote to amend the present laws or an
equal vote to cause reaction, as the
governor would veto any measure in
this direction.
