200 DEAD IN EXPLOSION
T. N. =. Plant Blows Up With Ter
rifle Loss of Life.

Pittsburg, May I8.-From 100 to
200 workmen are estimated to have
been killed, probably as many more
were seriously injured and the plant
of the Aetna Chemical company at
Oakdale, near here, was completely
wrecked by series of explosions
after noon today. 1t is difficult to
learn the full extent of the disaster,
owing to lack of communication.
The first explosion occurred in the
soda house and a few seconds later
the T. n. T. tank went off with ire
mendous blast which was heard dis
tinctly in Pittsburg. There were four
other explosions, the last one scatter
ing the ruins in all directions.
Officials of the company are lin
able to explain the cause of the blasts
and department OF justice agents
were hurriedly sent to the scene.
The driver Of a bakery automobile
came into Pittsburg with Patrick
Roberts 10, one OF the victims OF the
explosion Roberts was picked tip on
the road about a half mile from the
plant where he had been blown. He
may recover
The fire in the ruins Of the plant
was still burning at a late hour this
afternoon and it was feared a number
OF tanks containing I. y. T. in cars
of nearby siding would explode il
the heat became too great. \ cannon
was placed on hill nearby and shots
were fired at the tanks to pierce
them and thus allow the acid to run
out.
Drawing the dangers OF the deadly
sulphurc acid fumes which permeated
the air for half mile around the
plant following the explosion, women
OF the various Red Cross organiza-
tons from the neighboring towns per-
formed heroic work among the
wounded. One young woman from
Oakdalc whose name was not learned,
suffered perhaps fatal injuries when
the fourth explosion occurred. She
was carrying stretchcr with a
wounded man about 200 feet from the
tank. Her right leg was cut oil above
the knee.
Sulpitilic acid from the tank ran
into q stream near the plant and was
ignited by burning cm5ers from the
blaze which followed. Six rcscuers
were thrown into the burning stream
when the fourth explosion occurred
:. Ar undertaken who had been
rushed To- the spot estimated the dead
at 10, lie said every other man in
the plant was injured. There were
said to be 500 men at work at the
time.
Physicians OF Oakdale hurried II
the plant with wheel barroWs and
other vehicles and carried the injured
t6 hospitals. The plant was said to
be most completely wrecked
T. y. T., deadly explosive. was
being manufactured in the plant and
several fatal explosions have occurred
there within the past two years.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 10
Ricllard Phoenix, a convict, serving
