according 10 Probation Onlcer Green
OF the Court OF Domestic Relations.
"Of course II Is easy TO see the con-
nectlon between drinking parents and
delinquent children" said Mr.. Green.
yesterday. The Fairgrounds and
summer schools are tremend-
Gus factor in bringing out the
best In children Many children who
would have no other way OF spending
the hot summer days but 10 wander
around the streets can now 20 10 the
Fairgrounds and enjoy the same
pleasures and games as The best reared
children.
THE time VIII come when many a
man who would otherwise have moth
ing TO look back upon during the hot
summer childhood days but the hot
swelterlng streets Will now be able,
thanks TO the Fairgrounds, TO call TO
memory summers OF welcome fun and
ver-to-be-forgotten games OF prls-

"Then there is the story hourl There
are wonderful tales OF a world un-
known which leis them see into a
world bigger and finer which may
some day be theirs. There Is nothing
so tragic as a starved. sordid child
hood And yet there are many chill
dren who had no chance OF anything
else before The Fairgrounds came into
existence.
I'VE OF The Juvenile Court have been
criticised FOR not dealing more severely
With children delinquents. 10 has been
said that finding them farms Is no
punishment for children who have
broken the law We do not wish 70
punish them. We want to make them
good citizens. Fine specimens OF child
hood can never flower 10 pals.
"You do not Ind delinquent chN-

The task Is 10 educate them to the

The most sacred task on earth in their

these children 20 the House OF Correc-
tlon II we can possibly help 70. We do
rot want 10 drive them TO desperation

EXPLOSION CAUSE

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-John II. Nor
mand, an employee OF the Atlas Pow
der Company at the plant on the
southern end OF Lake Hopatcong. y
j.. wus making a tour Of the buildings
shortly after 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning and had visited the mixing
house and one OF the nitr0glycerine
houses. lie then went on the packing
house. about 200 yards away, and
found five men busily at work pressing
dynamite into stick form, with all IN
dieatlons that the high explosive busi-
ness was going uneventfully on. He
left the building and had gone ubOut
fifty yards down the side hhl toward
the lake, when there came a heavy
explosion, throwing HIM to the ground
with stunning force.
When he. regained consciousness the
packing house had disappeared except
for a few pieces Of splintered wood
work. A rescye party waited only long
enough TO make certain there would
not be second explosion and then be-
gan a search for the bodies OF the 1Ne
workmen. Only one OF the bodies, that
OF Augustus Madison OF Landing, \.
j.. was recognizable. The others had
been blown TO bits. The victims were
Martin Grogan Of NetcOng, Paul Stick
len. OF Port Morris, Frank Llnker OF
Landing and Jesse Longcor Of Newton.
The detonation Jared buildings and
broke windows in Lansing, a mile
away. and was heard for more than
eight miles. A rush Of inhabitants or
surrounding towns to the plant began
al once. but no one was admitted II
was considered remarkable that the
heavy shock did not produce eXpio-
slons in the nitrOglycerine shops.
The plant consists Of 40 small build
ings. employing 300 persons. In the
building Immediately adjacent TO the
packing house half a dozen men were
AZ work They were saved. it is thought
by the heavy barricades Of earth about
each building, which absorbed the
shock tremOr. Il was estimated that
1900 pounds OF dynamite had been ex-
plOded.
Officials Of the company said 1t would
be Impossible to determine the cause OF
the explosion. Coroner Joseph G.
Noclker. OF Dover, retunled a verdict Of
accidental death. All the dead, with
The exception Of Linker, were married.
