Dead;
 36 Injured; In Explosion

Chicago, July 5-Eight men are dead, 36 others are injured, ten so seriously that they may die, and prop erty damage is unofhcially estimated at two million dollars as the result of yesterdays explosion in the Stand ard Oil Company's refining plant at Whiting. Indiana
 Two huge steel stills burst, the brick walls inclosing them, crumbled and a sheet of burning oil and gas spread for a radius of two hundred yards, trapping the night force. Five men were burned to death, three died later in Chicago hospitals and the condition of ten others is serious.
 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 a tiny leak of gas were two probable causes of the explosion advanced by those familiar with the operation of the stills which are filled with crude oil under pressure in the manufacture of gasoline

Pays
 City Visit;
 Ru1nor Busy

Political tongues are wagging to- day devising why's and wherefores for the unexpected visit of John T. King to Bridgeport yesterday. The former national committeeman was in conference with several of the Old Guard leaders, and the name of Sen ator Alexander L. Delaney has been connected with the confabs.
 Since the leader of the last state Senate was busted as prosecuting at torney of the City court, speculation has been riSe as to his next move in the political game. It is freely re- ported that he will be a mayoralty candidate ,apd is believed to have sufficient local strength to carry his party caucus
 Soon after Kings arrival here, the report spreaid among political circles that the former leader hurried back here in DeIaney's interests, and that he expressed a willingness to support Delaney if the latter cared to ae- cept the nomination and run in op- position to Mayor Wilson's indepen- dent ticket.

'Iroup Gives
 Fine Address

Patriotism and Americanisrn was the keynote of a rousing, enthusiastic speech delivered by Postmaster Phil lip Troup of New Haven at the Inde- pendence Day exercises at Beardsiey Park yesterday afternoon. Postmas- ter Troup addressed one of the largest gatherings that has ever attended a similar celebration in Bridgeport, and for the first time the Junior Chamber of Commerce was in complete charge of arrangements.
 In referring to our debt to our forefathers who drew the Declaration of Independence, Post the speaker said we cannot pay our debt of gratitude to them except in one way, and that is to see to it that we play cur part as patriotic Americans and that we pass on unimpaired this great heritage of liberty that they gave us, to our children and to our chtldren's children. In order to do that, we must take an interest, a thoughtful interest, in this govern ment of ours."
 Cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce in staging the celebration were the Board of Education,B Board of Library Directors, Catholic Comn1uni- ty House, Italian Congregational Church, State Trade School and the Young Mems Christian Associaton.

Cruiser Sent
 To I anpico

Washington, July 5-The cruiser Cleveland and the gunboat Sacrament to have been ordered to Tampico. Mexico, to protect American interests in the event that they are jeopardiz- ed because of labor troubles growing out of the unem ployment situation it was said today at the navy de- partment.
 The Sacramento should reach Tam pico today from Galveston. The Cleveland was ordered from Cristobal, Canal Zone, and probably will not reach Tanpico before Thursday. Both vessels are assigned to the American special service squadron in South and Central American waters. Rear Ad- miral H. F. Bryan commanding.
 It was explained at the navy de- partment that unemployment had been constantly increasing in and around Tampico because of depre- sion in the oil industry there due to the new tax system. and that incipi- ent riots and increasing labor trou- bles had resulted in decision to send the two warShipS to the Mexican port to protect American interests should they be endangered
 It was said, however, that the ves- sells would take no action unless a more serious situation arose

Sergeant Frank Vireui of the State Police stated this morning that as yet he was not familiar with the case but that he planned to visit South port and Fairfield this afternoon and commence an investigation upon the part of the State Police. In the meantime Coroner John J. Phelan will start a formal hearing in his private office this afternoon
 The man was found in a dying con- <dition on the railroad tracks near his home at about daylight Sunday morning One arm was off just above the wrist, and he was in an uncon- sscious condition from which he never recovered. A wound on his head, apparently. caused his death, and nhe investigation was to discover just what caused this wound.
 Ezekiel, who was Polish, had for IS years been in the employ of the Con rad Buckingham Coal, Wood & Grain Co., of Southport, of which concern he had become a foreman because or his ability, honesty and sobriety. He has during that time driven teams to both wagons and sleds, and of late years has operated several truckS, never being in trouble because of ac- cidents.
 The record is pointed to in dispute of any idea that the man might have been returning from a party, ana might not have been sober. A br1dse crosses the tracks near his home, but 5ty istnot known whether he frequent- iy crossed the tracks instead of using the bridge
 The funeral was held this morning at II o'clock from his home, and a mass was celebrated later at SI Thomas church. Ezekiel was sur viyed by his wife, and five children, one son being in the United States army.
