today.
Accumulation of dust in the drying
room of the three-buIIding starch
plant is thought to have caused the
explosion. It was said today the
vacuum system was not working. This
allowed the dust to settle In large
quantities, causing combustion.
When firemen reached tho scene
they were handicapped in fighting the
neigh hborhood had burst through the
force Of the explosion.
The fire fighters and thousands
stood about unable to rescue men
trapped in the burning debris. The
cries Of the men could be hoard for
blocks. s~as
Two men, finally rescued from the
flames, were so terribly burned and
crushed they died almost Immediately
after being sent to hospitals.
The force Of the blast was felt
within radius Of a mile. Windows
were broken and persons injured by
flying glass and timbers in parts OF
the city far removed from the Douglas
plants.
Fred L. Burns, foreman in charge OF
the night shift at the plant, said that
the day shift of more than 800 mon
had departed from the plant only a
short time before the night force went
to work. Had the explosion happened
few moments earlier, the list of dead
and injured probably would have been
bigger.
