seriously burned as the result this
sfzernoon of the simultaneous ex-
nlosion of three oil stills in the plant
a the Atlantic Refining CompSnv,
Point Breeze, where five persons lost
their lives in similar accident on
August Is.
The company tonight issued a list

Agnes Hospital Still tenders, firemen
and repair men were among the vic
tins.
The exploding stills hurled blazing

say.
MANY Of the bodies of the Victims
were not recovered because Of the heat
emil the tire was almost ont, even
though they lay in plain view Of the
fremen.
The fire was extinguished at
o'clock after efforts by tiremen and
ether stills and container watts. Moth

bricks and masonry.
The three stills exploded at about
cps o'clock. The heavy lids we're
blown eff and showers OF blazing Oh

stills a in the furance rooms and
compartments under them.
Oil fell as far as the gaze. 200 yards
from the stills, which stand in i row
u ten in the Philadelphia or northern
ward OF the plant. Men st other distant
points were seriously burned by the oil,
hut despite this danger virtually all
the still tenders and fremen stuck TO
their posts, endeavoring to prevent the
spread of the flames by emptying watts
and containers and putting out the fire
under nearby stills.
'Workmen were busy on the platforms
Nigh UP on the side of one of the stills
when the explosion occurred. Virtually
all were killed by flaming oil. One man
lsaped from an iron staircase twenty

With slight burns.

platforms was caught by the deluge OF

men were unable to reach him for more
than two hours until wooden scaffold-

Women Tell
OF Arbuckle's
Threat TO Kill

tCcntinucd from page ono,
Upon ncr entrance, she testified she
heard Virginia say
IL am dying; he hurt me-" Upon
this she heard Arbuckle say:
"Oh, you're crazy. Shut up or will
throw you out of the window" and
right afterward, the witness said, he
added, "If you dent stop that noise
III throw you out of the window"
Miss Grace Halston, nurse at the
days later. testified concerning CONVEX
sations with the dead girl.
The verdict of the coroner's jury in
part was as follows:
we find that said Virginia Rape
came to her death from peritonitis
caused by a rupture Of the bladder
Said rupture was caused by the appli-
cation of some force which, from the
evidence submitted, we believe was APP
piled by one Roscoe Arbuckle, and the
undersigned jurors therefore charge
the said Roscoe Arbuckle with the
crime of manslaughter-
1--WE, the Jury, recommend that the
District Attorney of the city and
county of San Francisco, In conjunc-
tion with the grand jury, the Chief of
Police and the Federal prohibition off
Gals, take steps to prevent a recur-
renee of affairs similar to the one in
which this young woman lost her life,
so that San Francisco shall not be
made the rendezvous Of the debauchee
and gangster.'
That the findings Of the coroner's
Jury were phrased i'll much more direct
and forceful language than had been
expected by Arbuckle's array of coun-
sci was plainly manifest. Only Charles
Brennan of the defense's legal staff
was present when the verdict was read
and he made hasty copy. with which
he rushed off to present to Frank
Dominguez, another of the actors at
torneys
Arbuckle personally showed signs of
q heavy slump in spirits. During the
long period OF waiting he had been
buoyed up by his attorneys. The com
parative unimportance of the custo-
mary formal verdict of a coroner's jury
was impressed upon hrs mind Yet
when the jurymen filed inSo the in

Bridgton Academy
To Open Sept. 13

On September 18th Bridgton
Academy will open her doors for the
114th year
The academy has never in all this
time been obliged to close it's doors
because of the lack of funds and to-
day it is making rapid advancement
toward a permanent fund which will
put this school among the largest and
best in the State.
This time honored school is a
member of the New England Certi-
fed College Board and prepares for
college ny certificate or examina-
ton. Formerly this academy was a
fitting school for Bowdoin College
and has done it's share in sending
boys to this and other colleges.
Moreover Bridgton Academy is
endeavoring to give to the boys and
girls an education, which compares
favorably with any in the State,
and to make the expenses as low as
possible. Many schools have ad-
vanced their rates in the past few
years but Bridgton Academy has
been very conservative and at pres
ent student can secure board.
tuition. books. rooms. and the essen
tials for three hundred dollars. 1t is
the aim to give to every deserving
boy or girl an opportunity to secure
an education with as small an ex-
pense to them as can be made. The
alumni are all extremely interested
In this matter and boy or girl who
