Cedar Rapids, Iowa, May 23.-A
score of persons We're killed and a
hundred injured by an explosion at
the Douglas Starch works. OF the $50
men and boys who had just gone to
work on the night shift, few escaped
injury or death. The entire plant was
burned by resultant fire, which was
confined to the Douglas plant. The
loss is s3,0oo,0o0.
The shock was felt all over Cedar
Rapids and for miles around the coun-
try. Fire broke out and consumed the
shattered plant.
Firemen extricated dead and wound
ed from the debris hastily to avoid
inclneration. The injured were rushed
to hospitals and homes as rapidly as
mustered.
So severe was the explosion that
persons were thrown from chairs q
mile away. The cause of the accident
could not be determined, but is thought
to have been due to either defective
boiler or spontaneous combustion.
Many of the hundreds OF employees
were in or near the factory buildings
when the blast covered the ground for
blocks with wreckage Some were
buried in the shattered buildings,
while others were hit by flying rem
nants.
Within half an hour twenty-five
bodies were reported removed.
Broken. glass flew in veritable
showers through the streets near the
plant, cutting the faces and hands of
many who We're near the factory.
The blast blew in large windows
many blocks from the Douglas plant,
and persons within office buildings
also suffered from the shattered
glass.
With the fire raging. cries were
heard coming from the drying room
of the plant, but firemen were unable
TO cut their way in.
Additional explosions from the oil
rooms scattered the burning wreckage,
and firemen We're hard pressed to pre-
vent the spreading of the flames to
nearby Industries
Men covered with starch were taken
from the ruins by their comrades, and
many thrilling rescues were made.
Some of the victims were stark mad
and did not know what had happened.
Water mains were cut by the force
of the explosions, making the work of
the firemen harder because of the
lack of water.
Every window in the central part
of the city was broken. Chimneys
caved in on families at the supper
table and guests in the dining rooms
of hotels were thrown from their
chairs.
