 This information, obtained within a few minutes after the explosion, led to the tracing of the accident to the quarry. which is situated ill rather secluded spot.
 So far as could be 0scertainec, no one was killed. and early reports failed to explain how the accident oc- cured.
 The first definite report of the Blast had first reached a Monon Raj road signal tower at Dyer, Ind. anr had thence been relayed to the Monon uippolCuci dL Ldr dyclCS, "ueuCe IL came back to Chicago over The As sociated Press wire.
 The detonation rocked the weather bureau in the federal building, F miles from the quarry, so violently that one of the forecasters called u newspaper office to ask where was the earthQuake?"
 Part of train standing idle on a side track was blown from the rails and a switch tower. considerable distance away, was shattered as if by shrapnel.
 It was impossible to discover just now much explosive had been set off but 1t was said at least 30 tons of dynamite was in one compartment of the magazine.

CONNELLSVILLE
Star Junction Workings
Compelled to Shut Down,
Despite Guards
FEAR FOR BIG PITS
Steel Corporation Officials Uneasy
Operators Are Considering Drastic
Measures to Halt Spread of Strike

Connellsville, Pa, April 1S-Star
Junction mines, largest and strongest
! of the independent or non-union plants
in the upper ConnelSvilie region, fell
into union hands yesterday. Notices
were posted by the Washington Coal
and Coke Company that the plant
would be shut down indefinitely.
This is taken throughout the region
as great victory for the union forces.
Next to their Leisenring mines of the
United States Steel Corporation. un-
ion organizers have beer devoting
THEN greatest energy to the Star
Junction plant.
The Washington Coal and Coke
Company has been teh one big inde-
pendent operator to resist union eff
forts 10 organize its men.
The Star Junction plant was even
more heavily guarded last week than
the Leisenring mines. Despite this,
however. union organizers got in their
work and the men left the mines at the
rate of from 80 to 100 or more a day
all last week, until there were less
than 200 ready for work Yesterday
morning. The operators then decided
to quit as this fcrce was TOO small to
operate the plant.
The success of the union meeting in
Connelisvile Sunday and the closing
Of the star junction plant Yesterday
is making the Steel Corporation au-
thorites doubt their ability to keep
. ,,f kn I aie nt.it
mines Last week they were conf
dent of their ability to do this, but
their confidence has waned consider
ably over the weekend.
Ii IS the unexpected that has been
happening here since the beginning
of the strike; that is, each stage of
the progress Of the strike has come
Unexpectedly to the operators. The
sweep o. The union forces, which has
closed most Of the Independent mines
in Westmoreland county, has been de-
finite; and although some men in the
lower region have returned to work
since last Friday their numbers have
not been as great as the additions
made 10 union ranks in the upper re-
gion
Few of The mines are operating now
and union organizers are holding
meetings everywhere. The miners
strikers aS well as non-union workers
are generally celebrating the East

shey are celebrating it in an unusual
iy quiet fashion.
True, there is considerable drink
ing IN some sections. Fifteen arrests
for drunkenness were made in Con-
nellsvilIe and the immediate vicinity
yesterday and last night, and about
a dozen persons were picked up by
Iriontown police on the same charge.
There also were a number Of cases in
MasCntOWn.
However, there has been no gen.
eral boistcrousness and no clashes be-
tween the men and the State police
or between the men and other police
authorities. The arrests were all in

Genoa, April 18.-The signing OF a
treaty between Germany and Russia,
which nullifes the Brest-LltoVsK
treaty and reestablishes full dpio-
matte relations between these TWO
countries on a basis of equality, mas
caused profound astonishment and
resentment among the Allied delega-
tions.
The Ministers of the powers which
convened the conference decided at a
meeting held last night to have a
committee of experts examine TINS
treaty this morning to determine
whether It conflicts with the Cannes
resolutions or the Treaty of Nersau-
les.
Subsequently the convening powers
will meet with Poland, Czecho-Slo-
vakia. Rumania and Jugo-Slavia to
ascertain the views of the lesser
powers and deal with the report OF
the experts.
The British and French delegates
declared that they considered the sig
nature of the treaty, disloyal act.
Apparently it may imperil the con
ference.
1t is stated that the signing Of
the treaty. which took place at Ra-

Allied leaders, when Lloyd George,
of Great Britain; Barthou, nt
France; Sch9nzer, of Italy, and the

Pocomoke City, Md, April 1S.-
With 10 acres ir the heart of this
city burned over, causing an estl-
mated property damage of more than
S2,OOO,000, Governor Ritchie last
night ordered company of the First
Regiment, Maryland National Guard.
to proceed here at once to protect
property which escaped the flames.
Tonight the town is in total dark
ness. Wires are down. The heart of
the business section is a smoldering
mass of charred ruins. Both banks
have been destroyed, and in addition
TO business structures, 30 homes fell
prey to flames. Communication with
the outside world has been established
by tapping wires on the outskirts.
Realizing that after nightfall there
would he no means to illuminate the
streets. Mayor Gull te!ephoned Cover
nor Ritchie for troops. Already
number of State police were on duty
but these. it was felt, were inadequate.
Six additional State police last night
were assembled at Belair and dis
patched here for guard duty.
Governor Richie, unable to reach
Adi.-Gen. Milton A. Rockford, tele-
phoned direct to Col John d. Markey,
commander of the First Regiment, au-
thorizing him to order out 30 men
Of the Salisbury company Of the regl-
ment. Colonel Markey issued the or
der promptly and preparations to
have the soldiers entrain at once were
begun.
Telephone communication was re-
established at 6 o'clock. when en-
plovcs of the telephone company sue
ceeded in getting two long-distance
wires into operation. By this time
also about 80 per cent. of the phones
in the city again were in service.
Officials of the company declared
that the operators had proved them
selves real heroines. Despite the tre-
mendous heat. the imminent danger
that flames at anv minute would
sweep through the building. the op-
orators disregarded orders 70 leave
thcir posts and, although ordered out
of the building, rushed back and re-
Sumed their stations at the switch
board.
Those on duty were Mrs. Matte
Henderson. chief operator. and Mrs.
Emma Picken. Miss Vadis Prater,
Miss Jessie Slocomb and Miss Pannie
Slocomh.
The fire started at noon from an un-
known origin in the hay loft of the
stables and lumber yards of F. NJ.
Wilson. on Maple street.
