SHOWERED BY
FALLING DEBRIS

With a report that could be heard
for miles, a storage house at the
Granogue, Pa, plant of the Ball Grain
Explosives Company, blew up late yes
terday afternoon, injuring two persons.
The storage house was destroyed and
building adjoining was wrecked.
Those injured were: Donald Kirk,
aged 81 years. Of Syracuse, n. Y, badly
cut about the body by debris.
Mrs. Margaret Ewing, No. 6i2 King
street this city, injured about the head
Both of the victims were taken to the
Delaware Hospital where It was stated
at noon today their condition was good.
Some idea Of the force Of the explo-
sion was evident by the damage to sur
rounding property. A large auto bus
used TO carry employees to and from
this city. which was standing in front
OF the structure at the time Of the ex-
ploslOn, was wrecked.
Kirk and Mrs. Ewing were in the
damaged building when the explosion
occurred. No one was in the store

Emma Benton, a Negress. asked Judge
Ghurchman in City Court this morning
b. make her husband, Haynes Benton
pledge not to drink as he "acts like a
wild man when he Is full" The partic-
ular crime with which Benton was
charged in court was wife beating.
The comparison of the sizes OF the
couple furnished much amusement for
those in the court room. The prosecut-
ing witness is one OF the largest women
who has ever testified in City Court.
She weighs at least $50 pounds and her
husband is an unusually small Negro
weighing not more than 100 pounds.
Emma complained that Haynes threw
bricks at her through the window from
the street, but admitted that previous to
that she threw him out Of the house.
She added: "IIe Is all right when he's
sober, but when he gets the rum in
him he's just like a wild man" The
case was turned over TO Officer Nc

WELL YOU BET!

Members Of the Business Mems Fish

ing on their annual and always sue
cessful fishing trip down the Chesa-
peake Bay. Fearless of the presence of
Hun U-bOats, the party will make their
cruise in t0O-foot schooner.
Over ten men are on the trip this
year. Many more members had intend
ed to make the trip-in fact, at first
II seemed that IL would be impossible
10 procure a craft 10 accommodate
them all. But, one by one, the fisher
men dropped out. giving various rea-
sons for not being able to take part.
Some have gone TO war since the plans
for the trip were formulated, some are
engaged in essential war work, and, IL
Is said, quite a few are fearful OF those
U-boat raiders. So the list dwindled
down 10 10 and they got a good start
from home on the i0.l2 train
The party that will brave the waters,
will consist of the 10 members,
the chef, the master and the crew Of
four men. They will set sail on the
schooner Captain" from Crisfleld, Md,
just as soon as possible after landing
there.
Commissary ]. Frank Ayres went TO
Crlsleld yesterday so that when the
remainder Of the party arrived there
today they found the equipment and
provisions on board and everything in
readiness to rush off. The trip, under
the command OF Captain B. F. McCready,
promises to be one OF the best ever
held by the club despite the small
party.
The trip, almost exclusively. will be
spent in flshing A stop will be made
at Colonial Beach on Tuesday evening

WILSON TO SPEND II
HOURS A DAY In OPEN
BY The United Press.


MAGNOLIA, Mass, Aug. 16.-Twelve
hours day in the open air is Presi-
dent Wilson's idea of his vacation to
bc spent here on the North Shore This
program was urged by Rear Admiral
Cary 7. GraysOn, naval aide and the
Presidents personal physician.
The President rose early today, spent
the morning on the golf links and the
afternoon motoring. He was pleased
at the fine clear day and the cool tenn
perature and ocean breeze. The ther-
mometer down to c. was a welcome
relief after the 100 degree temperature
in Washington.
Although the President has with him
George Close, presidential clerk and
stenographer. he plans to do only such
work as is absolutely necessary. No
visitors were expected today. When
the President is in Washington he in
variably wears white trousers, a blue
coat and a sailor straw hat. One OF his
FIRST acts on his arrival here was to
change the sailor straw hat for a rolled
brimmed Panama, which would better
shade his face from the sun. Unusual
precautions are being taken TO guard
the President. All roads leading to
the house where he is stopping are pa
trolled night and day, and Gordon OF
secret service men surround the house.
