J0YNER SPEAKS AT
MEETING IN ALBANY
Americas Pastor Assists in Pre-
,paratory Meetings Now Be-
ing Held There
BY H. WooDCOCK

ALBANY, June 14.-The Rev.
W. A. Joyner, Americas pastor.
speaking at the home of DR.. anl
Mrs. G. C. Deliver Thursday night,
at the mid-week service of the
Christian church, gave Albany a
few nuts to crack and then pru
ceeded to crack a few himself as
he pointed out the bigness of the
coming revival and the smallness
of the people who are planning it.
The Christian congregation will
start revival in a tent on the
former Gypsy Smith site June 10.
Rev. Joyner told the nearly 20
persons present that the keynotes
OF the feeting should be love, and
prayer. He explained that the
coming campaign was not planned
IN any spirit of animosity, but ra-
ther by spirit of love. "There is
not desire that we should antag-
onize the splendid people who are
already in this field" he went on,
or that we desire to occupy terri
tory already occupied; such things
are far from our thoughts but We
are actuated by love for others; bv
love of those who are not already
IN the kingdom of God.
Then there is the desire tina:
we ar disciples may worship with
those who have the same hopes and
desires and with those of the sam
1alth that we love. We want to
give this meeting to the city of
Albany in a spirit of love and in a
spirit of greater devotion to all and
not In any spirit of division. In
our work we invite all denomina
dlons to aid US and we feel that we
"lll attract those to our meetings
with no church utilization"
In addition to the pastor, others
from Americas present were Miss
Lurline Wall, Miss Martha Wall,
Miss Dorothy Baugh and Miss Ma
ry Helen Joyner.
There will be a pre-revival rally
IN the Minor auditorium at $3.50 on
Sunday afternoon when Rev. JOY
ner will speak on Prepare W
The Way of the Lord"

Action to Fix Responsibility
for Explosion Is Now
Under Way in County

Assistant Prosecutor John E. Too
Ian. at conference in the prosecu-
tors Office in New Brunswick at 10
o'clock today, began a formal in
vestigation to fix the responsibility
for the explosion, which on Satur-
day morning destroyed the plants
of the Nixon Nitration Works and
the ammonite Company at Nixon.
Today Mr.. Toolan and a corps of
experts questioned Lewis and STAN
hope Nixon, principal owners of the
Nixon Nitration plant; R. Norris
Shreve, president of the Ammonite
Company, and also the chief chemist
and consulting chemist of the latter
company.
In discussing the activities of :he
prosecutors office in connection win
the explosion today, Mr.. Toolan said
that the Office is desirous Of having
all relatives of the dead and inJu' ed
communicate with the office, also
anv employees or former employees OF
the plant are requested TO get IN
touch with the prosecutors offices
and render assistance in completing
the investigation.
Although 1t is probable that the
real cause of the explosion Will
never be known, two theories have
been advanced as to the probably
cause. One of these is that some
weeks ago the employees OF the pIahI
are alleged to have been instructed
to make the powdered ammonite'
which was derived from the hqulo'
Of a courser grain. Prior to this
order. the ammonite was about as
fine as flour. When this order came
through. It is said, 1t meant the
heating of the stuff to a higher de-
gree which in the case any TINT re-
mained in the liquid, would have
a tendency 90 explode. The other
is tina. picric acid was being re-
ceived at the plant in large guam
titles. but neither of these theories
have been confirmed as yet.
The investigation now under way
is being carried on by the prosecu-
tors office detectives and no outside
helm will be employed. 1t will prob
ably be some time before the in
vestigation is completed as many
questions will be asked relatives oi
the dead and injured and former
employees and present employees OF
the plant.
County Counsel Frederick f Rich
ardson today declared that no I'M
mediate action will be taken by the
Board of Freeholders in the matter
although there may be some discus
sion concerning the explosion at the
meeting on Thursday. There is no
chance of a reoccurrence of the ez-
plosion. Mr. Richardson sald, ahu
tbarafore the board will atke no
undue hasty action, but will await
the report of the official investiga-
tio., now being conducted by the
prosecutors Office. The Nixon M
tration Works has never been class
ed the same as the Raritan Arsehai
and Morgan plants OF the govern
ment by the board. Mr.. Richardson
said. The freeholders will take no
positive action until the true facts
are obtained.
