Blaze
Toll Is

DETROIT, Aug. ii R -
Police and fire officials pushed
an inquiry toeay into one of De-
troits worst calamities in his
tory the boxing plant blaze
which snuffed out the lives OF
l3 persons yesterday.
In the hushed rooms of Re-
ceiving hospital doctors and
nurses worked at the same time
TO keep the death toll from ris-
ing, with more than a score of
injured and burned under treat
ment.
The swift blaze, feeding on in
flammables, broke out in mid
afternoon and swept the plant
of the Export Box & Sealer
Company. Within moments the
two-story building had turned
into a crucible, and the employ
es, mostly women, fought to es-
cape.
Some, with clothes aflame,
plunged through upper story
windows to the sidewalk below.
One woman burned to death on
a window ledge.
Bodies of several victims were
burned beyond re C ognition.
Three remained to be identified
many hours afterwards.
Two men, both employees,
were under technical arrest to-
Gay as the investigation pro-
gressed. One of them was burn
ed and in the hospital as police
prisoner.
The company, which employees
180 persons, was engaged 1
boxing war materials for over
seas shipment. Fire Marshal Ed
ward w. Hall said one theory
was that the fire resulted from
a leak of inflammable matter
from decreasing tank.
Many workers live in the
neighborhood of the plant, on
Grand River and Fifteenth
street, and pitiful scenes were
enacted as relatives came from
their homes and tried to iden-
tify victims.
The fire was Detroit's worst
sine the Study Club fire of
1929, in which 80 persons died.
