CHICAGO, 1 eb. I9.-BoInb, chem
ical and gasoline explosions roared
out In scattered parts of the city
early today, spreading flames in
two structures that did more than
S250,O00 damage.
A half block Of ruins marked the
spot where the building had stood
that housed the Eagle Sheet Metal
Manufacturing Company, the Par
agon laundry and the Samoline
Corporation, manufacturers of
cleaning compounds.
There the major explosions, at
least a dozen in number, accom-
panied a fire fed by chemicals IN
the cleaning compound plant.
The eighteenth bomb of 1890
shattered the from of the Cosmo
P Oducts, Inc, building in Little
Bohemia" on the west side. The
blast did heavy damage to the
structure and to its contents, man

The conference today ap-
peared to have reached its
most critical stage, where one
tactless move might leopard
ize its whole purpose.
Three situations, each more or
less directly involved in the with
irawal of French representation at
the conference until a new govern
ment has been formed contributed
an air of encouragement at the
headquarters of the different dele
cations
Brought to Standstill
First is the French cabinet crisis
itself, which has brought to a stand
still further negotiations seeking to
persuade France to reduce her ton
mage demands
Second is the continued insiStence
Of Japan upon a 10 per cent ratio
compared to England and the
United States, a position from which
al argument thus far has failed to
move her.
Third is the intimation that Italy
while regretting Frances high ton
mage requirements, will not recede
from her demands for equality with
France without concessions on all
sides.
The American delegates settled
down today to a realization that the
negotiations Will be long and
tedious. and if they are out of ST.
James palace by April, they VIII be
lucky.
No method of meeting the Jap
aneSe demands for a 10 per cent
tonnage ratio has been devised yet.
Robinson Makes Talk
The American people would re-
pudiate any treaty binding United
States to employ armed forces for
enforcement of obligations assumed
by other nations. Senator Joseph
T. Robinson told the Association of
American Correspondents in a
luncheon address today.
Furthermore. they believe that no
special guarantees are necessary to
assure the performance, in good
faith, of any agreement reached by
the powers regarding limitation of
ornaments, the American delegate
declared.
The official communique revealed
that all the delegations were in
agreement on adjournment, indi-
eating that they considered it fu-
tile to attempt further progress
without settling the French de-
mandS.

The first Of three explosions
occurred late Tuesday as the
night shift was taking its
place. All of the daytime
workmen had not yet left the
refinery. The first blast oc-
Cured in the alcohol expert
ment building.
The first blast, according to sur
vivorS, occurred when naphtha gas
line running into the alcohol expert
ment laboratory burst, the escaping
fumes being ignited by forges used
by Workmen on the adjoining build
ing. A kissing wall of fame swept
through the building and exploded
two alcohol vats.
Before those that were able to
could get out. the other two exple-
sions occurred. The building was
turned into a furnace of blazing
blue flame, which enveloped the
stunned workmen.
Horribly scored men ran scream
ing from the building. Many, blind
ed by the burning spray, ran con-
fusedly about the vast lOO-acre
Standard Oil property. The scene
was as grewsome as any painted in

Clothes Are Ignited
Carpenters and boilermakers enc
ployed on an adjoining building un~
der construction were blowed of
scaffolding and their clothes we're
ignited by the burst Of flame which
swept out of the experiment build
ing.
The explosions were heard in Linz
den and Elizabeth, nearby commute
mites. The entire fire fighting forces
of both cities and every available
ambulance went to the scene. Pri~
vate automobiles were conmandeered
to take the injured to hospitals and
to emergency stations set up on the
oil company reservation
All Help FranticaIly
Every available nurse, inferno and
physician in Elizabeth was called
while volunteer messengers scurried
from place to place seeking blankets
and medical supplies. Surgeons
worked INCREASINGLY throughout the
night over the injured.
A graphic recital of the explosion
was furnished by James Carperinic-
chic of Elizabeth, mason's helper.
"Au Of a sudden" he said, Il was
thrown to the ground. I found my
self on fire. leaped up and every~
body around me looked like they
were dead. Then they began get

There is a heavy wire fence
