Z KILLED IN DU
POINT EXPLOSION
Narrow Escape for so
Workers

GIBBSTOWN, N. j., March 26.-
Two men were killed and three
others are reported missing tonight
after 5000 pounds Of nitro-glycerin
exploded in the DUPONT powder COM
pany's neutralizing plant here.
The known dead are:
John Kerns, Paulsboro, N. j.
John Harbeson of Gibbstown. N.
J.
The explosion came shortly after
2 p. m. just after so men had left
the one building in which the nitro
glycerin was stored. 1t exploded
with terrific concussion which was
felt for miles. Camden, parts of
Philadelphia and other distant cities
felt the terrific shock. In nearby
cities windows were shattered and
pictures knocked from walls.
Try to Blame Worker.
The explosion did not spread to
other buildings.
Company officials were trying to-
night to blame the accident on Kerns,
the watchman, saying he may have
dropped one tank of the explosive
causing explosion of the entire 5000
pounds.
Explosions in du Pcnt powder
plants are very frequent occurrences
however, and such things are taken
by the employers to be merely the
risks Of the trade. 1t is cheaper to
erect dirt embankments between tie
frail shacks in which the explosives
are manufactured and let certain
number blow up, than it is to take
extensive precautions.
Workers arc invariably killed in
such explosions, but compensation is
cheaper than safety devices.

SAY GOVERNOR
HIRED KILLER
Young of Louisiana to
Face 19 Charges

BATON ROUGE, La, March 26.
Governor Huey P. Long, chief ex-
ecutive of the state of Louisiana,
where several lynchings of Negroes
have already taken place this year,
and the state considered reactionary
enough by the American Federation
of Labor bureaucracy to hold its
convention in, was himself charged
today on 19 counts with attempts
to do murder by hired killers, graft
and other crimes. The charges are
in impeachment articles voted by a
special committee of the house of
representatives of the state legisla-
ture, submitted to the house late to-
day.
The governors floor leader, seek
ing a popular alibi for his chief,
says the Standard Oil is back of
the charges because defeated pro-
posal for five cents barrel tax on
oil was known to come from the
governor.
The articles included charges that
the governor attempted to hire an
assassin to kill a member of the
Legislature; that he bribed or at
tempted to bribe legislator; that
he used his appointive power to in
| fluence the judiciary; that he wasted
and misused state funds and prop
erty; that he subordinated civil au-
thority to the military and that he
habitually carried concealed wea-
pons.
Threatens to Use Troops.
Other charges were that he was
repeatedly guilty of violent abuse OF
state officials and private citizens
that he publicly flouted the federal
and state constitutions; that he at.
tempted to impose his views on the
members of the legislature by lob
buying and that he was guilty Of job.
bcry.
Earlier in the day it had been re-
ported that Long was planning to
call out the National Guard to pre-
vent reconvening of the legislature
climax to near riot in the House
of Representatives last night.
The trouble started in an attempt
to introduce charge that the gov
ernor had tried to induce his former
bodyguard, Battling" Bozeman, to
assassinate Representative J. o.
Sanders.

Police Raid L'Hun1auite:

(Wweless By 'Inprecorr")
PARIS, France, March 26.-The
police in Clichy have provoked col
lisions with the workers which re-
suited in the serious wounding of
three policemen.
The police then raided the con-
gress of the Paris district of the
French Communist Party in session
here, arresting over 100 delegates.
Costes, secretary of the Paris dis
trict of the Party, was among the
prisoners.
PARIS, March 26.-For ridicul-
ing the lavishness with which the
French government has attempted
to dramatize the death of the i'm
perialist Marshal Foch, the editors
of L'Humanite, French Communist
daily, were this morning arrested
in raid on the offices of the news
paper.
The offices of the Communist
daily are at 142 Rue Montmartre
in one of the poorest sections of
Paris, and an indignant crowd of
workers gathered. at once when ru-
mors of the raid spread through
the quarter,
The police were booed and jeered
as they brought down their prison
ers.
The article in L'Humanite pointed
out that the French imperialists, in
their preparations for war, are eag-
erly seizing upon the corpse of
Marshal Foch, leader of their arm
les against the German capitalists
in the world war, in order to make
propaganda for the next carnage.
The millions of dead uniformed
workers who died in Foch's imperia-
list armies, the millions of manned
and the millions of blind survivors
did not, however, weep at his death,
it was intimated.
The arrest of the editors of L'Hu-
mantle follows by two days the ar
rest of the entire Congress of the
French Communist Party now in
session in Paris. At that time, Chi
apes lieutenants attempted to
force their way into the Congress
and when the delegates resisted,
battalions drawn up around the
building seized them.

MARKET
FIGHT

Washington's long fight over
the location of the Farmers
Produce Market is over at last.
The struggle which was waged
over whether the market should be
located in Southwest Washington or
north of Pennsylvania Avenue, was
settled yesterday when the Senate
passed the Stalker bill authorizing
an appropriation of 100000 for
locating the market in the South
west.
No Money Yet
The only legislative action neces.
sary now to make the project an
accomplished fact Is the actual ap-
preparation of the money, An
amendment may bs offered today to
the second deficiency bill to provide
the funds.
1t will probably be a long time
before the market is ready to open,
even II Congress appropriates the
money.
Land must be acquired and sheds
erected before the market will De
ready for operation.
Three.year Fight
The fight started three years ago
when 1t was learned that the former
Farmers Market would be forced
to move to make way for the Eed-
eral building program.
The strife between different fac
tions of the farmers. consumers and
railroads. prevented location of the
market before the old market was
forced out of its quarters near Cea-
ter Market.
Innumerable hearings were held
by Governmental and civic organi-
cations. Recommendation were al
most as varied as the orSaniza-
tions making them. Finally the
House last year passed. the Stalker
bill.
A filibuster prevented a Senate
vote last session. 1t finally got
through last night by vote OF
81 to "a after several filibuster
threats.
