F|REMEN BATTLE
 GASOLINE FLAMES
Exploding Tank on RoundhOuse Machine Provides Pyrotechnics

Although only superficial damage
 vas done. one of the most exciting pyrotechnic displays in some time took place at the round house of the "New Haven railroad in this city last evening shortly after 5 o'clock, when a gasoline tank on q combination coal loader and Cinder cxcavator took fire and exploded. Leon Sara age i5 years. of l26 Clinton street. who was operating the machine, barely escaped sori
 ous injury by jumping from the platform.
 The force of the explosion threw the machine, which weighs about q ton. more than 10 feet from the rails where it had been set and dumped it on it's side. Sara was directing the machine in loading coal from car into an engine tender when the explosion occurred, He was slightly burned about the neck and shoulders.
 After the explosion. the ignited gasoline flew in all directions and the tank burst into flames. Police- man William Politis. who heard the noise, sent in still alarm 10 the fire department and then turned in an alarm from Box o5 at Elm and Church streets. The explosion was heard for long distance away from the scene and in q, short time several hundred people were on the spot.
 Engine Co. No. 2 responded to the "stll' and started playing a line of hose on the burning mass. With the bell alarm, the other companies arrived and covered the tank and engine on all sides.
 Deputy Chief Michael T. Souncy, who was in charge of the fire fight CTS. exercised caution as the flames shot skyward and sent up volumes of smoke. fearing that another ex- ploson would occur. Only q few seconds elapsed. however. before the fremen had the fire well in hand.
 Repairmen were on the job to- day. examining the machine. Only 1 damage had been done 1 to the machine, especially in the of the gas tank. The work | of strengthening out the cables and 1 cogs was expected 10 be finished 1 this afternoon and the machine , again put in running order. The ! cause of the explosion ia unknown.
