The Columbia Salvage company
has been engaged in extracting the
4. N. T. from loaded shells after
which the substance was turned
Dver to the Amolite company, which
operates in a portion of the old
Nixon Nitration works, for the ex-
traction of the ammonium nitrate.
The extracted rcaterial. known as
'soup," is stored in liquid form and
left to harden, and it was in that
substance that the fire and explosion
was thought to have sarted.
The Amolite company is managed
by a New York man named Shrigre
and Edward Smith of Metuchen.
At least thirty people were killed
according to the investigation of De-
tective David and Fitzpatrick, and
these officers expressed the belief
late this afternoon, that many bod
les may have been burned beyond
recognition.
Many of the dead and injured
were employees at the Nixon nitra-
tion plant, who were in the line be-
fore the paymaster's window when
the blast occurred.
1t has not been definitely estab-
lished how many people were on the
site at the time, but 1t is thought
that about fifty people were working
in the imm ediate vicinity.

Giant Oak Burning to Death
Fire in Heart of Massive Tree Cannot Be Put {

The next day the workman noticed
smoke coming out of knots on the
tree, which was four feet in diameter.
Then he saw that the earth at the
base. of the tree was hardening and
cracking.
Climbing up to point above the
highest knot hole which was giving
forth smoke. he enlarged a cavity and
poured in 20 gallons of water, hav-
ing to use bucket because the lack
OF sufficient pressure made the garden
hose useless. Then he enlarged
all the lower cavities and filled them
with wet adobe to stop the draft of
air that had sucked the fire from
the ground into the center of the
trunk.
Fire Is Not Quenched.
For day or so thereafter. no
smoke was seen coming from any part
of the tree. But on Sunday the
smoke reappeared. oozing from every
crack and crevice. The clay that
filled the cavities had been baked
hard.
The heart of the giant oak was still
aflre when guests at the ranch left
for their homes Sunday evening. and
no new plan for saving the great old
tree, with its 50-foot spread of shade,
had been evolved.

A giant liveoak tree being slowly
burned to death by its heart of fire,
while its massive roots, deep in the
earth, continued faithfully to feed the
body. and while its leaves, their green
a bit paler than usual. cast the same
shade in which children of several
generations have played, was the
strange spectacle seen by guests at
the George Maverick ranch, "Wassen-
berg" near Boerne. last Sunday.
From a short distance the tree pre-
sented a normal appearance. but clos
er inspection disclosed light smoke
steadily issuing from the upper part
of the trunk and from limbs as high
as twenty feet above the ground. The
tree was experiencing the tabled "liv-
ing death"
Last Thursday a workman on the
place. finding some liquid in a hot
tic and not knowing what it was,
thought that perhaps it might be in
flammable. Some chicken coops had
been standing near the foot of the
tree. and there the ground was in
tested with bluebugs, As an expert
ment he poured the liquid on this
spot and touched match to it.
