The first explosion occurred at $3.50
D. m. Within a few minutes the fire
had spread to the main refinery and
tanks. Tank after tank filled with
crude oil exploded sending a sheet
of flame a hundred feet in the air.
Burning oil flowed from the tanks
into the Arkansas river where it con-
tinued to blaze for some time.
Oceans of smoke rose from the
burning oil which made it impossible
to distinguish the outlines of buildings
and tanks which were a part of the
refinery and it was impossible to say
until last night what destruction had
been done.
Two Seriously Burned.
William Prafkara, and william
Barger of the Cosden Refining COM
pany, who were helping fight the
flames, were seriously burned when
an explosion occurred. Three fire
fighters of the Tulsa fire department
were painfully burned and five others
injured during the explosions, how
ever, no fatalities were reported this
morning.
All the stills in the plant were
badly damaged. The stills contained
5000 barrels of crude oil. Eight 5000
barrel tanks filled with the refined
product were consumed.
The fire fighters succeeded in saw
ing four 2,000-barrel tanks of gaso-
line which were in the center of the
blaze.
E. Constantin, who is en- route to
France on the Atlantic, was notified
by wireless of the loss to the plant.
Company officials stated that the
loss was covered by insurance.
All Hutchinson Threatened.
Hutchinson, Kan, March 2S.-Fire
broke out in a cheap district in the
southwest section of Hutchinson yes
terday afternoon, sweeping "a number
of barns, garages and stables, burning
some livestock, and threatening the
entire city for time.
A gale was blowing the flames in
path that would have carried the
blaze into the lumber yard district and
involved the waterworks and power
system. Fortunately the firemen man
aged to get control.
No homes were burned. All six fire

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, March 23.-CoRN-Material
setbacks in the price of corn resulted to-
day from talk Of federal investigation of
reports that the market had been cornered
by spectators. The selling, which accom-
panied today,s decline, however, was of
scattered character and soon lacked vol
ume. Then the market frightened up again,
influenced largely by tn continud sacri-
ty of receipts. Opening prices, which
ranged from &c to 11Ac lower with May
$i571a to S15S1a and July s1.511a to S15214
were followed by decided further breaks
and then q general raRy.
Assertions that eastern buyers were can

newed downturns in values. The close was
heavy, 1Ae to 37sc net lower with MAY

The wage conference will open on
the same day that the interstate COM
merce commission begins hearings to
determine what advances in freight
rates will be necessary to provide for
the billion OF advances in wages al
ready granted during the two years of
government operation of the railroads.
Railroad traffic experts estimate
that to provide revenues sufficient to
take care of the billion dollar wage
advances already granted an increase
in freight rates of approximately 25
cent will be required. The extent of
this increase will be for the interstate
commerce commission to determine
after hearings that are expected to ex-
tend well into the summer. The deci-
sion must be made before September
when the government guarantee of
pre-war earnings expires.
If the new wage conference results
in further increase in the railroad
payroll then, under the transportation
act, the commission again will be
obliged to raise freight or passenger
rates, or both, to provide the addition
al revenue to pay the wages. 1t is es-
timated that each increase of a cent
an hour in wage rates adds SO million
dollars a year to the payroll, requir-
ing an advance of II u Vert cent in
freight rates. The granting of the
new billion dollar wage demands
would, under the law, mean further
