walls standing. The only thing that
officials of the plant could attribute
the mishap to is the possible weak

the explosion at Camp Raritan last
week.
According to Superintendent Min
ton the kiln upon which the men
were working is of a design which
has been successfully erected in Eng
land and ten had already been built
here without any mishap. An Eng
lish expert was supervising the work

tor. MIR. Minton refused to divulge
the name of either the expert or the
contractor but it was learned from.
Coroner Hillpot hat the expert un-
der whose supervision the work was
being done Is George Picker. Mr..
Picker is an English authority on
kiln erection. it was said. and the
was told hat similar kilns,
which are considerably more elabor-
ate than the ordinary kilns found in
this country. are to be found in vari-
Gus parts of England. The coroner
said he did not know who the con-
tractor was.
The kiln, according to information
secured from superintendent Minton
and Coroner Hillpot. when complet-
ed will be made up of sixteen cham
bers, each of which will serve as a
separate kiln. Nine of these had
been completed and the men were
working on scaffolds about fifteen
feet in the air pointing-up the tenth
when the arch overhead suddenly
gave way.
The bricklayers were buried under
an avalanche of brick and mortar,

rying them from the ~scaffolding to
the floor of the kiln. The arch. 1t
was learned, was about nine feet
and was just over the heads
of the men who were working on II.

former workmen on the kiln had

turn to work were on hand this
morning to continue the work.
