EXPLOSION KILLS
 ONE AT SYRACUSE
Fifteen Hurt in Blaze at L. C.
 Smith Typewriter Co.

Syracuse, N. Y.. May 20.-one man
 was killed and at least lO injured, one
 of them seriously, when a japanning and enameling oven on the top floor of the eight story L. c. Smith type- writer plant here exploded late yes- terday.
 The dead man is Christian Peter sen of this city, who was about to light the gas burners under d1e of the five ovens on the east end of the floor. He was blown into the air and hurled through a window about 200 feet to the roof of dwelling near the factory.
 The workman most seriously in l jured was Fred Bauer, also of Syra- cuse, who was rushed to a hospital, but whose condition is not critical. Edward Burritt, another workman, suffered severe shock. Other en- pioyes who were injured were treat ed in the factory first aid room.
 None of the 30 employees who were on the top floor of the structure could assign a cause for the explosion and officials were at loss for an expla- nation. All of the ovens had received their daily inspection, it was said. Damage to the plant and equipment was estimated at several thousand dollars.
 A general alarm sounded after the explosion brought out all available ap- paratus in the central section of the city, but no fire broke out. Police re- serves ordered residents of nearby houses to the street, fearful that weakened factory walls might col lapse.
 The force Of the explosion tore 2 large hole out of the east end of the roof of the building, and also tore a gaping hole 14 feet square on one side. Bricks and wood from this DOT ton of the wall were blown on the roofs of houses across the street. A mass Of debris fell 10 the street, wrecked an automobile standing at the curb, and blocking main line tracks Of the New York Central rail- | road for over an hour.
 Countless stories Of narrow escapes from death were told by workmen | who had been near the oven room on the top floor of the plant.

INDUSTRIAL CRISIS.
Shutdown in ThompsonyilIe Brings
 About Serious Situation.

Thompsonville. May 20.--With not wheel turning in the big plant of the Bigelow-Hartford company which closed Saturday for an indefinite per- iod, this town almost wholly depend- ent upon that concern industrially, to- day faced the most serious crisis in some years. Some hope that the shutdown may be of short duration is seen in the fact that the company's plant at Clinton has not been affected. Four thousand persons are employed by the mills here. Yesterdays mass meeting of employees, called by union organozerS, was attended by but 200 persons. An appeal was made for 100 per cent organization. Only one branch of the plant, the Brussels workers, is now organized. The req son given for the shutdown is poor business conditions.

NOT TO BE NEW PARK.

New Haven, May 20.-Professor Ira Toomey, head of the Sleeping Giant association, in referring to a dispatch from Hartford stating that the state forestry commission had acquired title to tract of 70 acres of land at Sleeping Giant mountain at Mount Carmel, last night denied that the state had taken over the property. Professor Toomey explained that the state had been offered the property to be made over into a state park so that the name of Sleeping Giant would become permanent and added that inc state had not as yet accepted the pro- posal.
 The Sleeping Giant, which de- rivcs its name from the mountain which forms the profile Of a huge giant at sleep,'is rich in the history of Hamden and it is because of the historical value of the tract that the association wished the mountain preserved in it's natural state. rather than be ruined by sale to private in- tCrests.

 The meeting closed after another long discussion which further proved the similarity of the views of the two countries, both considering reparation as tho great cause of political unrest and Of the economic crisis of Europe.
 It was agreed that tho Dawes re- port must be taken as a basis of ac- cord between the allies with the un- derstanding that the German govern- ment will Loyalty fulfn the measures necessary to carry out its provisions.
 Italy and Belgium believe in the possibility of an intcrallied agreement concerning the action of the allies if Germany deliberately fails to fulfill these provisions. Once negotiations on the subject have advanced suffi- ciently. an interallied conference is deemed advisable In order to reach definite agreement
 Premiers Mussolini and Theuns and Minister Hymans promised to take every possible effort 10 obtain in the shortest possible period of time full realization of the Dawes plan.
