BURSTING TANK KILLS NINE IN BOSTON SUBURB
Officers of Company Owning Big Molasses Container Un- able to Explain Explosion 1;

BOSTON, Mass. Jan. 15. - Nine persons are known to have been killed and about 50 injured by the explosion of a huge tank of mOlasses on the waterfront off Commercial street, near Keany square today. Eight bodies were removed from the wreckage and one man died at the relief hospital. Most of those injured suffered only from bruises.
 The cause of the explosion had not teen definitely determined Walter L. Wedger. explosives agent of the state police, said he was not prepared to give final opinion. but that it seemed probable to him that it resulted from gas fumes generated by fermenting molasses within the tank. which was not full The molasses had been kept warm by steam heat from a plant at some distance from the tank.
 Harry F. DOlan, attorney for the Purity Distilling company, said to- night that officers of the company were unable to give any explanation of the cause of the explosion
 Cannot Explain Explosion
 Tt was impossible" he said, flor an internal explosion to occur. Man holes on top of the tank were kept open and no gas of any kind could have formed. An explosion could not have been caused by fermentation. as molasses ferments only in exceeding ly warm weather. The tank could not have broken open from an intern al cause. It met all the specifications of experts; each plate in it had been tested and it was not filled to it's ca pacity.
 '~The company assumes that the tank was broken by something which acted upon it from the outside We are conducting an investigation. It is possible the tank may have been broken by enemies of the United States who knew that We were en- gagged during the war in the manu- fracture Of alcohol which was used in making munitions"
 Identify Bodies.
 Early tonight the only bodies iden- tified are those of fireman and two residents of tenements in the vicin- ity. A large number of the injured were taken to the relief hospital. The tank was owned by the Purity Dis tilling company, a subsidiary of the United States Industrial Alcohol com pany, with a plant in Cambridge.
 A iull, muffled roar gave but an instant's warning before the top of the tank was blown into the air.

Thousands Enjoy Sport and

maker Voices Objection

While thousands of persons partici-
pated in Sunday sports in Fairmount
Park yesterday, either as players or
spectators, there was a notable absence
of SO called disorder" throughout the
day.
Captain Hayes Duncan. of the Park
Guards, reported ''all orderly to
Thomas s. Martin. secretary of the
Park Commission. Mr.. Martin had also
made a personal inspection to assure
himself that there was no disturbance.
"Of course, there was cheering when
some one made a hit." said Mr.. Mar
tin. "Well, what would you expect?
There wouldn't be much to a ball game
if you had to muzzle the spectators"
No signs were posted in the Park
warning baseball players they must pre-
serve order if they wished to retain the
privilege of playing on Sundays in the
Park.
| "Signs, Nonsense said Mr.. Mar
tin. I'VE had no intention of posting
such notices. The games have always
been orderly. No signs have ever been
necessary. The park guards usually
warn captains of teams that the cheer
ing should not be too loud. For that
matter, no one is very likely to be an
noyed by a little cheering, for there
isn't house or a church within miles

TRAFFIC CRASH AT SKlPSTOP
Loaded Truck Collides Broadside
With Touring Car

Another traffic accident has been re =
ported at skip stop crossing in West
Philadelphia. In the confusion caused
by number of automobiles and trucks
trying to get across the intersection of
Lancaster and Powelton avenues this
morning, Henry Rexider, 1926 Master
street, drove truck loaded with prod :
uce into touring car piloted by Ed
ward McEwen, 5056 Usage avenue.
McEwen is financial secretary Of the
Printing Pressmen's Relief Society.
The impact spun the lighter car half
way around. stove it in on one side and
hurled it fifteen feet. Quick applica :
tion of the brakes on the truck saved
both drivers.
Residents in the vicinity claim that
because of the skip stop on the Lancas-
ter avenue car line there traffic is con :
stantly in confusion. and during the
rush hours mad scramble is always
on among motor and other vehicles to
get across the car tracks in front of ap-
preaching trolleys.

TIRE IMITATION
IS IMPORTANT I
STATES EXPERT

1t is customary among automobiles
when they pump air into wheel which
is lacked up, not to pump up to the
required pressure, but to allow few
pounds for the weight which will come
on the tire when the jack is removed.
This is bad practice, says an expert
fro mthe United States Tire companys
laboratories for careful experiments
show that the weight of the car on the
tire does not add even a fraction OF a
pound to the air pressure inside q
tire. Consequently, the United States
Tire company advises motorists to IN
flate their tires to the recommended
pressure. whether the wheel is lacked
up or not.
While on the subject of initiation,
motorists should again be warned that
the notion which has gained wide be-
lief among automobiles that ther heat
of summer day expands the air in
side a tire to such an extent that the
tires do not need to be blown up to
the same point as in winter, is an utter
fallacy, experiments show that 1T
takes terrific driving for considerable
reriod in a race as that at the Indian
apclis speedway to generate enough
heat to raise the air pressure in tire
five or six pounds. The expansion in
a car driven at an ordinary rate on a
hot summer day is SO slight that no
allowance should be made for it when
the tire is pumped up.
Motorists would do well in hot
weather to test the air pressure in
their tires every few days to. see that
the leakage of air has not reduced to
the point where the tire viii suffer.
