city ordinances was blamed by city
and police officials for an explosion in
the heart of the west side tenement
district which killed at least eight per-
sons, injured 100 or more, rendered
dozens temporarily homeless and dam
aged buildings blocks away.
Two men were held in jail in con-
nection with the disaster and two 9TH
ers, possibly killed in the explosion,
were sought by the police.
The explosion wrecked the ware
houses of Well and company, paper
dealers, where a dozen men were
working. All were believed to have
been killed.
Next door was the firm of Singer
and Shaffer, dealers in novelty mer-
chandise. Chief of Police Charles
Fitzmorris and Fire Attorney Shirley
High, after completing Investigations
declared that the Singer and Shaffer
firm had manufactured fireworks in
and around the warehouse in violation
of city ordinances and that com1us-
tion of these fireworks was to blame
for the disaster. They declared the
firm frequently had been warned to
discontinue the manufacture and had
been repeatedly warned that fireworks
could not be stored within the city
limits.
Men Admit Charge.
According to Mr.. High and Chief
Fitzmorris, the two men held in jail
both admitted that the firm manufac-
tured fireworks and that it had con-
Quoted an Illicit trade in this product.
Dozens of statesmen toured the central
west taking orders, they were quoted
as saying.
More than ton of T. N. t., dyna-
mite and other explosives is believed
to have been consumed in the ex-
plosion. Scores of fireworks labels,
pieces Of f1recrackers and torpedoes
were found near the wreckage. In a
nearby building were 1000 pounds of
torpedoes, according to the police, and
evidence indicating that hundreds of
pounds of gunpowder and dynamite
recently had been shipped to the firm,
was said by the police to have been
found.
Four Are Identified.
Only four of the eight persons
known to be dead had been identified.
The other bodies were so badly man
gled as To be unacceptable.
Many persons whose homes had
been so badly damaged by the ex-
plosion as to be untenable were given
temporary quarters in the Garfield
school house where 1900 children
were attending school at the time. The
roof of the building was damaged but
the children escaped unhurt.
