Pittsburg. Pa. May 20.-ProbAbly
200 men were killed Saturday when
an explosion Of T. N. 7. demolished
the plant Of the Aetna Chemical Com
pany at Oakdale. on the Panhandle
division OF the Pennsylvania railroad,
sixteen miles from here. Five hun
dred workmen were startled At noon
by . report not much larger than the
crack Of a pistol. 1t came from the
soda house. but they knew its deadly
import, and a. one man. they rushed
for the nearest exit. Before thoy
could gain the open the very air
seemed to burst into flame. the earth
heaved and rocked. and. with . roar
that was heard for miles, the long fac
tory buildings were hurled high into
the air. carrying with them ponderous
equipment and SCORES Of men,. A
great cloud OF dust and smoke ssft{6d
over the scene. and through its deadly
fumes torn and mangled forms
dropped to the earth. many dead. but
others to meet their end In the flam-
Ing debris.
The number Of dead had not been
determined Saturday night. and It u
possible that It may not be known for
days. II indeed II will ever b known.
State and county authorities agreed
that II would reach 200.
Many Of the injured. some Of whom
were found half mile from the rem
nants Of the factory. were brought to
Pittsburg hospitals by special trains
and In ambulances. all OF them so
badly hurt that in only comparative
ly few Instances were phys clans able
to hold out any hope for their re-
covcry.
Tho property loss was estimated at
sl.5oo.00e.
The thought was inspired that the
Red Cross worker was needed at Oak
dale more than at Pittsburg Aban.
doning all thoughts OF parade. the
women flocked to the afflicted area
by automobile and by trolley. ready
for any sacrifice or service.
And these women lent valuable aid
in bringing order and, system out Of
the chaotic condition among the panic
stricken families OF workmen.
Answering the first call for hos
pltnl aid and ambulances went 4 corps
OF nurses and physicians from st.
Johns hospital.
One OF the nurses. Meryl Aschei.
man. was acting M a stretcher bearer
carrying n wounded man to the nmbu.

she was thrown to the ground and the
patient on the stretchor WAS killed.
