Boston, Jan. l5.--Probably dozen
people we're killed and fifty injured by
the explosion of huge tank of mo-
lasses on the water 'front.' off CONNER
cial street. near Keany square today.
A large number of the injured were
taken to the lelief hospital The tank
was owned by the Purity Distilling
company, subsidiary Of the United
states Industrial Alcohol company.
4 muffled roar gave but an insiant's
warning before The top of the tank
was blown into the air The circular
wall broke into great portions OF
sheet iron which were impelled in OPP
posite directions. Two million gallons
of molasses rushed in mighty
stream over the streets and converted
into sticky mass the wreckage Of
several small buildings which had
been smashed by the force OF the ex-
plosion
The tank was located not far from
a city storage yard in which stood
two frame buildings.
The greatest mortality apparently
occurred In one OF these buildings,
where score OF municipal employees
were eating their lunch. The build
ing was demolished and the wreckage
was hurled 50 yards The other city
building had an Office on the ground
floor an da tenement above. and was
similarity torn from its foundations.
In this there were two women who
were severely injured. One OF the
sections Of ths tank wall fell ON the
fire house. crushing il. Three iremen
were buried in the ruins. One. Leahy,
was killed and the other two were in
inred. A fourth fireman was thrown

ture OF an elevated railway, damag-
ing Il. \ train had passed over the
spot but moment before and anoth-
er a short distance behind was stop
ped by the block signal.
The intervening elevated railway
undoubtedly prevented further de-
struction on the opposite side OF the
street. where there is a row Of tene
ment houses.
The cause OF the explosion had not
been definitely determined tonight
Walter L. Wedger, explosive expert
