BU SpecfaI Correspondent
KEXPORT. Nov. 9:-When the re-
port that the war was probably at an
end reached the borough on Thurs
day afternoon a mammoth ceiebra-
ton vas Immediately planned and
carried out despite the deniais which
reached here shortly afterward. At
4 o'clock the Keyport Silver Band
gave an excellent concert at the cor
ner of BROAD and Front streets which
was attended b. many enthusiastic
people who came in crowds blowing
horns and ringing bells.
When the reports we're not verified
Mayor Bogardus suggested that the
demonstration cease but the people
were so fired with enthusiasm that
an unofficial parade was held in
which hundreds Of automobiles dec
GRATED in the national colors particle
pated. Uncle sam and the goddess
of liberty were both on hand. the fire
trucks and the Red Cross were also
In line. The autos rode about the
borough several times and more peo-
pie we're in the business section of
the borough on Thursday evening
than have been noticed in years.
Preceding the parade the kaiser in
efigy was raised at the corner of
Broad and Front streets under the
direction of Elmer T.. Morris and
burned to the cheers OF many.
During the excitement which pre-
vailed, William Maurer's delivery car
was stolen and has not yet been re-
covered. A mar charged with nf-
tempting to steal p. q. Weigand,s
automobile was arrested and placed
in the borough jail. TIE man had
ranked the car and was about to

Mr.. Gillespie said, My heart was
nearly broken over the loss to the
government of that wonderful plant.
I claim to have a heart and / did
everything I could at the time of the
explosion. I was accused of being
heartiess but I worked all the time.
I said at the time, The people of
France are suffering and so are the
people here"
Senator Myers took up the ques-
tioning Of the witness who said that
a theory of the cause for the explo-
sion was that 1t started in one of the
kettles in the Gil unit. but hat he
could not tell. He said that he could
not think that carelessness of en-
ployes had caused the disaster. or
that 1t had been the Intentional act
of any employe.
1t was then that the senator asked
about Odendahl and his work at the
plant. Mr.. Gillespie said that he had
heard OF such a mar working there
but that he had never seer him or
met him and that since the explosion
he had never been seen at the plant.
The man, 1t is claimed, Is an alien
enemy and a government inspector.

had been permanently assigned to
the Morgan plant but that he did not
know where the mar is now.
1t was after 6 o'clock when the

MANAGER OF GILLESPIE
PLANT ADMITS SMOKING
CONTINUED from page ID

Mr.. Gillespie then told of his ac-
lions when he had heard of h ex-
pJosion and of his subsequent activity
in this city and about the plant. He
safd that he considered the plant well
guarded in the hands of the U. 8.
Coast Guards and the men of the
New Jersey State Militia Reserve
units and that he had e~ndeavored to
ret u, S. soldiers and they were
promised as soon as they couft pos
sibly be sent to the plant.
Mr.. Gillespie said that the company
was under pressure to furnish shells
for the government and had been for
the period which the plant had been
operating. He said hat just prior to
the explosion the company had COM
pleted and shipped 1.115,o00 shells
out of the plant but that shipments
after September rs had been held up
owing to the lack of ships to take
them across. Loading ceased at the
same time, he said. to prevent the
manufacture of excessive quantities
Of shells.
The witness said that he had pro-
tested to tho government that an ex-
cessive quantity of explosives was be-
ing sent to the plant and that ship
ment should cease. He said that the
congestion at the plant and the fact
that there were so many shells in the
Plant was due to the fact that trans.
%portation was lacking.
He said that the worst explosion of
the lot came when three steel freight
cars loaded with amatol. 10000
pounds in all, had gone UT. In the
So 900 shells which had been deton-
ated or exploded there was an esti-
mated quantity OF 500. 900 pounds of
explosives. he said.
Mr.. Gillespie denied that he had
