 created in the still by the presence of the cork, and the vessel as noted
 was ruptured. This allowed a re- lease for the alcoholic vapors from the mash. and just as soon as these fumes reached the open fire flame. a terrific explosion occurred, fol- lowed by fire.
 That part of the house direct lv over the location of the still was blown southerly about four feet, lifted bodily off the foundation walls, and the bedroom on the south side, first floor. exposed 10 full public view from the rear.
 Part of the stone foundation wall
 was knocked "out of plumb" The north side of the building stretched out q foot from the foundation
 wall during the explosion; the hooi
 joist and flooring raised, and the
 plaster walls on both floor, cracked. All of the furniture oi the entire eight rooms of the house was knocked "topsy-turvy." al- though the tenants suffered more of a loss in this respect than did the owners In the house at the time of the explosion were Mrs Stulpinis. and the boy Victor. who was in bed. Neither suffered any injury, MT Stulpinis was at woTk; so was Mrs Keenan, while MT Keenan left his home early Tn search of employment. An exam
 ina<ion of the building disclosed that the old stills had recently been
 displaced, and that new ones had been installed without mortised joints, work performed without the knowledge or approval Of the building department. This neglect allowed for the wide spreading of
 the structure when the blast oc-
 cured.
 From evidence adduced. we learned that the property was pur.
 chased by the present owners abou, one year ago; that the price paid | for 1t was about two thousand doi' lars. and that the then fire insur- ance policy was continued for the
 sum of six thousand dollars Neither the owners of the house nor their tenant carried house hold fire insurance.
 The investigation for this office was carried on with the assistance of the building inspector, and MI Harry M. Johnqucst, a chemist, o' recognized ability In the com

Governor PinchOt
 and Sheriff Scrap
(continued from Page l)

The proclamations declaring martial law had been printed ana would be posted in the county im- mediately, 1t was said.
 Having learned from press sources that Sheriff Hackney had wired me refusing my offer to take charge in the strike area and thus prevent violence, called him up this morning and laid this definite proposition before him., Pinchot told the United Press.
 "If he would make way for the state police by taking out his dep- uties whose handling of the strike has already lead to so much vio. lence. would send the police in at once in sufficient force to maintain order. If he would not. I would send in the National Guard.
 "The sheriff refused to with- draw his deputies and have or dered out the guard"
 Finchot conferred with ofiiciall of the United Mine Workers of America at Unidntown by telephone at two o'clock this morning and they promised to preserve order in the strike areas.
 The governor instructed the Ma tional Guard to protect all citizens, miners and operators in their con- stitutional rights and to allow peaceful picketing and the right oi assemblage.
 He declared the sheriff had re. fused strikers the right to assem. ble and organize.
 Prior to the decision to call out the troops, Pinchot telegraphet Hackney to withdraw his deputies and charged that the sheriff wal deliberately provoking disorders.
 The governors telegram, sent be. fore he talked with Hackney. said he was reliably informed tha' the Prick Coal company, witf your cooperation, is importing gun. men from New York. This is ut terly wrong and Is certain to leat to still more violence" Pinchot said the sheriff's failur' to sign an agreement similar tt the one put into effect at Lans dale, that limits the number Q pickets in return for Q piadge O peace, had plunged Fayette count, into lawless disorder.
 Uniontown, Pa, July 29-(UP. State militia was enroute {, UniontowY today to enforce Gov ernor Clifford Pinchot's determin ation to put an end to a coal min, strike affecting some 15,000 miner in Fayette county.
 Sheriff Harry E. Hackney. wht has sworn in more than 30l special deputies in an attempt [, preserve order, said he could no understand the governors actiol because the strike area was "fairl, quiet" yesterday.
 The sheriff said he and the stat police had not been able to "co operate properly" He said, how ever, he would cooperate in ever, way with the militia when 1t ar rived. probably in early afternoon
 The origin of the strike wa blamed by officials Of the Unite, Mine Workers of America on "in timidation" by mine owners, par ticularly the H. c. Prick Coal com pany, one of the largest producer in the Fayette county field. Unioi leaders declared the operator were refusing the men the righ to organize under the national in dustrial recovery act.
 Martial Law in County
