GASOLINE
The Spreading Fumes.

When we realize that nail in
ones shoe striking against a.
metallic object may produce
spark, and that sparks may
even be caused by the friction
of rubbing gloves together while
cleaning them, the countless OPP
portunities for gasoline vapor
to ignite and explode become
apparent. Then when we re-
member that five cents worth
of gasoline is sufficient to blow
up an ordinary house, we can
understand the necessity of
keeping gasoline tightly corked
in the container.

Contradictory Testimony.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 21.-Testi-
mony said to have been given today
by Alfred Schumacher before the Los
Angeles county grand jury in relation
to the Arbuckle murder case here SIS
in direct contradiction of his testi-
mony before the San Francisco grand
jury" District Attorney Brady said.
Brady said he would have Semina-
cher here tomorrow for further Ques-
tioning. He announced also that Lo-
wen Sherman. another witness who is
missing, could be made the subject of
the grand jury Indictment in the event
he fails to answer Brady's demand to
return to San Francisco.
Schumacher telephoned from Los
Angeles later that he did not have
money enough to come to San Fran
cisco to give testimony in the Ar
buckle case, Brady announced.
It told him to get up here without
any loss of time or suffer the conse-
quences," Brady said. TT seems
strange to me that he could bring
Miss Rappe and Mrs. belmont to San
Francisco from Los Angeles in an au-
tomobile and evidently spend a lot of
money here. and then suddenly lose
all he has Ia the world"
Schumacher motored from Los An
geles with Miss Rappe and Mrs. Del
mont, who brought the murder charge
against Arbuckle, a few days befoSe
the party in which Arbuclxle is al
legged to have fatally injured Miss

| MAYENCE, Germany, Sept. 21-A
great explosion today at the chem
ical products plant of the Badische
Anilinfabrik Company at Oppau, on
the Rhine wrecked the town and
spread death and destruction on every
hand. The number of killed is vari-
ously estimated at from one thousand
+, to fifteen hundred and the injured
close to two thousand One report
says that three thousand men were
on the spot at the moment of the
explosion and it is believed about half
Of these were killed.
The town of Oppau is a scene Of
desolation, more than third of the
] houses having been completely des-
troyed while the roofs of the others
were swept off as if by a whirlwind.
Here also many were killed or in
| jured. The explosion is attributed by
some to excess pressure in two adj
joining gasometers, the whole of this
part of the works being literally pull
! verized. Where the gasometers stood
is now a funnel shaped hole 100 yards
wide and As yards deep, while twisted
girders and debris of every description
lie scattered about For a distance of
several hundred yards not a wall is
left standing.
/ The directorate of the company is
quoted as saying that the explosion
occurred in a store house containing
four thousand tons of nitrous sulphate.
which had previously been examined
and was believed to be free from
danger of explosion.
All the workmen's dwellings In the
vicinity were razed At Mannheim,
on the opposite side of the river, thir-
ty-five persons were seriously injured
and two hundred or more slightly In
jured. Ludwigschafen reports say that
three workmen's trains were buried
. under the wreckage and many chill
dren on their way to school in that
town were injured.
Heartrending scenes were witnessed
on all sides, At the little cemetery
on the outskirts of Oppau there are
already more than two hundred bodies
laid out on the grass. Numerous
tombstones were lifted and hurled in
various directions by the force of the
explosion. There was not a door or
window left intact for a radius of
three miles.
French medical units are aiding In
the rescue work Assistance also has
been rushed from all the neighboring
towns and all public and private motor
cars and vehicles were requisitioned.
The roads leading te Oppau were soon
crowded with people making their way
to the scene of the disaster.

by a tax levy before they could be
