DR.. Louis Clement, one OF the men

Swami
DR.. Clement made the acquaintance
Of the District Attorney through the
good Offices Of some narrow minded
person who accused him of turning
false pretcnces into money. That
charge is still pending against him, but
District Attorney Swami decided to
give an opportunity to him to manu-
facturc some gasolene from water be-
fore putting him on trial.
III. Clement declares ne can do it for
two and onc-half cents a gallon any
wherc where water is cheap. The test
will take place in a Fire Department
repair shop at Fifty-siXth Street and
Twelfth Avenue.

Boy Fishers Save Pier


Two boys, whose curiosity overrode
their caution, fished suspicious look
ing can out of the Hudson River near
155th Street yesterday afternoon, and,
according to Inspector Owen Egan, of
the Bureau of Combustibles, who ex-
amined it later. may have saved the
pier at 155th Street from being set on
fire. Moored to the pier is the Dutch
steamer Hoogland.
After the inspector had examined the
can he declared it contained about
three pounds of phosphorus. While
not an explosive, he declared, it was
decidedly infammable when water
soaked. He said that had it lodged
underneath the pier i might have
easily caused a fire if a dry part
chanced to be close enough when it

Near aris; Thirty
Killed, Many Hurt
American Soldiers ane
Hospital Workers Aid
Injured Victims

PARIS, Friday, March 15.-Two very
violent explosions to-day in a factory
at La Courneuve, north Of Paris, caused
the deaths of sixteen persons and the
injury of large number, mostly
slightly, according to an official an
nouncement made tonight.
Later it was said that the number of
dead was thirty. General Dubail. Mil
itary Governor of Paris, has instructed
Captain Lurcher, the judge advocate Of
the First Court Martial of Paris, to
open an investigation OF the accident
The causes of the explosions have not
yet been determined clearly. La Cour-
neuve is seven kilometres from the
Cathedral of Notre Dame, in the direc-
ton of St. Denis.
American Red Cross and army am
balances were among the first at the
scene of the explosion. A large fleet
of ambulances, kept at the American
Hospital, at Neullly, for emergency
purposes started for the scene within
Il few minutes after the explosion, with
two men on each car Officers of the
hospital staff also went TO the scene
of the disaster to supervise removal
OF the injured.
Rescues by American Soldiers
A number of wounded were carried
away in motor trucks Of the American
army. American soldiers approached
to within a few hundred yards of the
burning buildings and carried the in
iured across fields to vehicles waiting
to move the victims to hospitals in
Paris and the suburbs.
An American army officer dressed the
wounds Of q child cut by flying glass
nearly mile from the scene of the
disaster. The child was one Of several
score in school in which every win
dow was shattered by the concussion.
Firemen were unable to approach
the burning factory nearer than 500
yards. Survivors declare that the acci-
dent was due to man dropping a
box of percussion fuses, which set off
q box of grenades. Most of the work
men, realizing the danger, took to their
heels and escaped with more or less
severe injuries.
All roofs and windows within a cir
cumference of miles of the building
were demolished, while buildings coll
lapsed like houses of cards from the
violence Of the explosion. In every
quarter of Paris windows were shat
tered and furniture overturned.
Four Girls Die From Fright
In public school at Aubc~villcrs
there was a panic, and four girls died
from fright.
Nearly 1000 persons are shcltcrless
as the result of damage to their homes.
The American Red Cross, COO Operating
with the Prefecture of the Seine and
the local authorities, is providing for
them
Regarding the assistance given the
Red Cross by American soldiers, a mu-
nlcipal councillor of Bourget, near
where the explosion occurred, said:
We must pay homage to the man
ner in which the American Red Cross
organized assistance. American sol.
diers showed devotion not to be for
gotten in finding the injured, giving
first aid. moving the unfortunates to
safer localities and transporting those
who had escaped to a hotel set aside
