~ 00O. 600 as the result of Mondays eX-
plosion in the Standard Oil company's
refining plant at Whiting. Ind.
Two huge steel stills burst, the
brick walls inclOSing them crumbled
and Il sheet of burning oil and gas

Five men We're burned to death
three died later in Chicago hospitals
and the condition Of ten others is Sc
riOus.
Most of those injured were caught
In the shower of flame. but Others
were struck by the falling brick and
steel walls of the stills. Excessive
pressure or tiny leak of gas were
the two probable causes of the eXplo-
