people lost their lives and a score
more we're injured,
The blast occurred in the factory
of the Joseph We'll Paper company
which T. located In the bloody
Nineteenth" ward Of the city where
the population is largely Italian.
Officials of the company stated
that they believed the explosion was
caused by a leak in one OF the
gas supply lines. When questioned
they stated that they had had no
labor troubles or feuds resulting
from political plots or propaganda
among their employees.
The police, however, have diff
ferent view of the matter and went
TO work Immediately on the theory
that the explosion may have been
caused by bomb and that the dis
aster Is a part Of political feud
that has been waged in the bloody
Nineteenth for years.
Supporting the contention Of the
police, torpedo cap was found
by Chief of Detectives Hughes
who reached the scene of the TRACE
dy soon after the explosion was re-
ported at headquarters.
Luckily the blast was not followed
by fire. This enabled the fire tight
ers who rushed TO the quarter al
fected. to turn their efforts entirely

difficulty in extricating the dead ana
injured from the debris.

diately thrown around the scene 70

there to see if any Of their reia-
tiyes were numbered among the
victims.
The first body to reach the coun-
ty morgue was identified with dlf-
tlculty as that Of Mike Tupanskl' d

off. Thousands of Italian men, wo-
men and children, who weree belng
held back by the police lines, gasped
then fell into silence as they saw
the two bodies, with heads missing
