fore the justice of certiorari the

Charges Goyernmc..t

NEW BRUNSWICK. March 10. -
In calling upon the general public
to raise up in arms and demand the
removal of the Raritan Arsenal
from Middlesex county, Rodney
Miller, an expert on explosives who
during the war was engaged in an
engineering capacity with the Nixon
Nitration Works, charged that the
government was to blame for the ex-
plosion at the Ammonite Company
plant at the Nixon Nitration Works,
that left long list of dead and in
jured in it's path.
Mr.. Miller declared the explosives
stored at the arsenal had been man
ufactured to shoot in France and not
to be stored in thickly populated
sections. He pointed out that there
is not another country in the W rid
which allows the storage of war time
explosives for they realize the danger
to the public. He held that the ex-
plosives are not fit for salvage pur-
poses and said the government
should have them destroyed.
Following are the names of the
thirteen explosion victims whose
bodies have been recovered and
buried: Joseph Adams, Highland
Park: Mrs. Arthur Dumas and three
children, Nixon; John Fitzgerald.
Perth Amboy; Hugo Hagen, Linden
au; John Mazaras. Highland Park:
Harold Slade, Menlo Park; e. L..
Smith, Metuchen; Lester Spencer,
Metuchen; Edward Starkins, Lin
denau; Mrs. r. J. Wherry, Morgan.
At least eight persons. known to
have been in the plant at the time
of the explosion, are believed to be
dead. as no trace has been found of
them. The records showing the per-
sons working in the Nixon plant
were destroyed in the explosion and
no accurate check-up of the en-
ployes of that plant has been made.
