NURSES URGED TO STICK

Speaker Reprehends Patriotic
but Hysterical Rush to
War Volunteering
WAIT TILL DUTY CALLS
Peace Duties In Home Communities
Important to Entire
Nation
"Don t wreck tho health Institutions of
the nfctlon by patriotic but hysterical lm
pulses to enlist In a body for.wnr service"
Thnt was the message brouBht to tlie
rr. ,! l rc !,ntlona' organizations
L ,1 V A"1,"1" NuraeR' Assocla.
Hon, tho National Leaguo of Nursing- imu
cation and tho National Organization for
lub Ic Henlth Nursing. In their executive
ees-jlon at the Bellevue-Stratford today, pre
ceding tho big Joint meeting of the .2000
Jolegate3 to the threo organizations, ren
resentlng 44,000 nurses In tho country
It was brought by Jtlss Mary Beard
president of the National Organization for
, public Health Nursing, who Is director of
Instruction of the Visiting Nurse Associa
tion of Boston, considered by nurses one
of the most Important organizations of Its
l:lnd In America,
"Health authorities and physicians all
over tho country, nre united In believing
that one of the greatest dangers to na
tional health work Is threatened." she
eald, "In the Impulse which Is sweeping
through tho ranks of mirscB. who quit their
peace organizations and Join organizations
for war duty."
Miss Beard urged all nurses, who are
doing public nursing to hold their positions
until called for war duty and refrain from
taking any hasty or ill-considered action
In tho mattbr of volunteering for military
cervices, and said sho had been asked by the
Commissioner of Health of Massachusetts
to impress this message on the nurses gath
ered In Philadelphia In their annual con
vention. ABNORMAL CONDITIONS
Sho pointed out that abnormal conditions
ere bound to exist at home In times of
war, and urged tho nurses to remember
their responsibility to tho nation and turn
the tide of opinion against having whole
hospital corps enlisting In a body to go to
the front nnd do duty, thus leaving a com
munity without proper health protection.
"If wo are doing our duty as public
health nurses," sho added, In pointing out
tho need of health Insurance legislation,
"wo are serving our country every day.
In these coming days that service Is more
than ever needed."
A movement to prevent Ited Cross nurses
from being called out for duty unless there
is real need of their services on the battle
fields will bo made at the Joint annual con
Uelds will bo made at this convention.
There will bo a special meeting of the
nurses In tho three associations who have
already handed In their names for Red
Cross work, according to announcement
made at the convention headquarters today.
All tho nurses are willing and moro than
Willing to go on duty, but they object to
being taken from their present positions
and sent forth to wait Indefinitely before
getting into nctlve service.
Tho American Nurses- Association has
40,000 members, in every State In the coun
try. This is the twentletn annual sessltm.
The National League of Nursing Education,
composed of 650 nurses, who teach other
women how to become nurses, is In its
' twenty-third annual sesston, while tho Na
' tlonal Organization for Public Nursing, with
000 members, is in fifth annual session.
SESSIONS TRULY "JOINT1'
This year an effort is being made to
make the conventions truly Joint, according
, ( to offlcialB, and Instead of holding different
meetings at the same hour In different
rooms, all big meeting at which papers
are read will be held at tho same hour.
The regular round-table discussions will be
, held simultaneously, however, to give all
three organizations an opportunity to dls-
' cus their various problems.
Special trains arrived this morning at
the Pennsylvania stations with nurses from
Chicago and at the Baltimore and Ohio
with nurses from St. Louis and vicinity.
Two cities, Cleveland and Providence, are
planning a hard fight to get the 1918 joint
session of the three organizations. The
lobbying for the next convention city began
yesterday among the offlcersof the organi
zations, who camo to attend tho exccutlvo
committee meetings.
Coroner Told of
Plots at Eddystone
Continued from rase One
number of Russian Inspectors of shells
vrero employed. By somq, strange coinci
dence, none of the men working in this room
Were killed.
Emma P. Parsons was the first witness
oalled to the stand. Her brother and sis-tr-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Anthony G. Par
tons, of Chester, were killed in the Eddy
stone blast. Questions were asked her to
establish formally the fact that deaths oc
curred In tho disaster.
"WILHELM INSISTS ON PLOT
Then Captain Walter M. Wllhelm, of 29
College avenue, Swarthmoro, who is vice
president and general manager of the Ed-
v dystone Ammunition Corporation, was
called.
A torrent of reasons for belief that the
tragedy was planned came from Captan
Wllhelm, when he was asked:
"Have you any opinion as to tho cause
of tho explosion?"
"Our Investigation places it In such a po
sition that I cannot believe It was an acci
dent." ho cried.
, "Wo had turned out 1,500,000 shrapnel,"
he continued. " We had often worked the
Plant up to a capacity of 40.000 sfttlls a
day. All of this had been done without
accident. And on the day of tho explo
sion we were working at less than half
that rate. Tho guard system had never
been better, tho inspection had been per-,
fected and safety precautions were nt their
most highly developed state," Captain WU
helm said. "The plant had been fully re
viewed. Federal and State authorities had
Inspected It. Munitions experts had looked
the plant over. All In all. the Eddystone
plant was laid out on the most modern lines.
Nothing under ordinary conditions could
have" caused the explosion."
Many times In the past there was reason
to believe that persons were trying to de
stroy the shrapnel factory, the general
manager swore.
WARNED OP BLAST PLOTS
"Often, especially at holiday times,
private detectives warned us that the plant
was to be blown up," he said, tensely, we
have gathered evidence since the explosion
to show It camo from the outside.
"Matches had been found the day before
In tho vibrating room (this Is the room
where the fatal blast Is believed to havo
started). , . ,
"On one occasion screws were found In
the base of a shrapnel," Calptain Wllhelm
swore. "Another time we found In the
plant matches wrapped with oil rags.
"Match heads wero found 111 i hase of
shrapnel. AnJ on the day of the great
funeral a prominent Baldwin Locomotive
Works official was cautioned not to at
tend, although he had planned to do so.
Th name of the Baldwin official was not
given. However, Samuel Vaucialn, vice
president of the. locomotive works, had ar
ranged to attend the funeral with his
daughterAMlsa Constance Vauclam. and
canceled the plana on a few hours' notice.
vv The lmpMsslon was that Mr. Vaucialn xw

Then members of the probe Jury ones
tloned him.
DESCRIBES EXPLOSION DETAILS
Captain Wllhelm said that the last warn
ing ho received camo from a private de
tective agency employed by tho Eddystone
corporation, on Washington's Birthday. He
went on by saying:
"The first explosion did not sound like
shrapnel. Threo seconds later another ex
p oslon followed, then a third and moro
violent crash that, to my belief, was the
shrapnel.
'Tho reason that I am sure the first ex
plosion was not the shrapnel Is because
tnero was no loud noise. It was more like
a Hash that enveloped the building, This
is what leads me to believe that the trou
ble started In tho box where the pellet
sticks are stored In tho pellet room A lire
starting In the pellet box would result In
an explosion that would resemble a flash."
TRAIL OK KIRK IMPORTANT
Captain Wllhelm. under examination, said
that he thought the llames passed under
neath the fire doors between the pellet room
and the vibrating room. This belief, he as
serted, Is substantiated by the Investigation
conducted by the plant? This trail of lire
passing under the door would account for
tho two other explosions that followed so
rapidly. Ho said that the uncrppod shells
lying on tho pellet tables vvheio tho girl
employes were located would, under the heat
of a heavy flame, explode nlmost Instantly
Captain Wllhelm went on to relate that
there was but little loose powder In the
building at tho time of the explosion and
that he did not believe that tho ignition of
this powder would have caused such a
catastrophe as resulted.
"The steel filings found In the shells, four
or flvo days before the explosion." said
Captain. Wllhelm, "were discovered by an
Inspector, who In turn notified the foreman
of the building and a probe was com
menced. DESCRIBES "P" BUILDING
Albert R. Granger, a member of tho fury,
then asked Captain Wllhelm to ! ..1 In
detail tho working plan of the old "K"
building, In which the dltastcr occurred.
While explaining the arrangements, Cap
tain Wllhelm said that thero were about
forty or fifty uncapped shells ijlng on the
tables In front of each girl who wor'cd
In the pellet room. He admitted tlmt It
was possible that these shells would r.' ve
exploded almost Instantly and shattered
the brick wall that teparated tho pellet
room from the shaking room.
The witness remained firm In his belief,
however, that tho flames spread under the
door and thus reached tho shaking tables,
where, tho more violent explosion musf
have happened, but he was forced to ad.
mlt under examination that the brick wall
must havo been destroyed by the explosion.
Further examination directed by Mr.
Granger brought out In tho testimony of
Captain Wllhelm that there were hardly
enough pellets In tho box to havo created
a flame that could have spread forty feet
from the pellet box to tho flro door.
GIRL TESTIFIES ON POINT
Further testimony about tho matches
found In the pellet room of tho old "F"
building tho day before tho tiagedy, was
given by sixteen-year-old Anna Louise
Kennedy, of 937 Springfield avenue. Darby,
who was working In tho pellet room when
tho explosion came.
A girl named Nelllo found the match,
Miss Kennedy said, In a box of broken pel
lets, early In tho morning. Tho broken
pellets In which It was found were plied
up by tho workers themselves, subsequent
to tho starting of work that day. This
testimony gave tho Impression that tho
match was placed thero after the factory
hands In the pellet loom began work In
tho morning. The match was whole.
"Nellie Just looked down and saw," Anna
.Kennedy explained. Tho girl said she saw
a Russian Inspector In the pellet room at
the time ofthe explosion.
The next witness was Margaret R. Smith,
of 2013 Madison street. Chester, a wrapper
employed In the old "P" building. She
said there was a rumbling sound coming
from the direction of the loading room, fol
lowed by flames that burned her clothing.
A terrific explosion came next and hurled
her out of tho building. Sho testified she
was positive the trouble did not start In
the pellet oom where the girls were em
ployed. SUPERINTENDENT ON STAND
Augustine w Welsh, of Ridley Park, tho
superintendent of the entire "F" building,
told the Jury that ho was several hundred

feet from the destroyed structuie when
tho explosion took place. Mr. Welsh con
ducted an Investigation of the explosion.
HHo said:
"My Investigation leads me to believe
that tho explosion started In the vicinity
of the second vibrating tabic.
"Tho evidence I gathered camo from tho
men In the building.
"The first flash leads me to believe that
tho trouble started In tho neighborhood of
the vibrating table. The explosion that fol
lowed must have been shrapnel.
"Tlyere were about 240 perMinx working
in the building tho morning of April 10
when tho disaster happened.
"I don't think there was sufficient pow
der In tho loading loom to causo a Hash
similar to the one I have seen. The Ig
niting of pellets would have created a sharp
sound If they caught fire. A hort of puff
would have been followed by a sort of flre
cracker sound."
Under cross-examination directed by
Juryman Granger, the superintendent told
of tho various times when matches were
found In the plant.
W. I. Schaffcr, of Chester, attorney for
the munitions company, took the witness
stand.
HEART OF THE PLANT
"That kind of powder will not explode
by detonation, but needs the touch of (lame
to explode it," Captain Wllhelm said in
reply to his question. Then, backing up
his theory of premeditation, he asserted:
"Both for frlghtfulness and delay, this
place where the explosion occurred was
tho most vulnerable In tho plant. There
Is no other place In tho plant where so
many lives could have been lost; theie
Is no other placo where mi great a delay
In resuming operations would have been
caused. It was tho heart of the plant,"
ho declined.
Captain Wllhelm was graduated from
West Point in 1004, he testified. He served
the Government in various army posts and
plants, Including two and a half years In
tho Frankford Arsenal.
John C. Dunn, superintendent of the
shratmel department of the Eddystone
plant, followed Captain Wllhelm. He testi
fied along lines tending to support tho
theory of an outside explosion.
"The first explosion was n puff," he said.
"It would havo been Impossible to get a
puff explosion In the vibrating room. I say
this after studies of explosions continuing
since 1900.
"I believe tho first explosion occurred
In tho pellet room," he declared.
Dunn admitted that rules for safety are
likely to be violated despite precautions.

hcliaeffer asked Dunn.
"Foreman Johnson came to me with three
matches ho had found on a tabic when ho
camo to work early In tho mottling." said
the superintendent 'The looms had been
cleaned tho night befote, nnd no one else
was supposed to havo entered "
Ho testified that the part nV the building
where the explosion nciurrod would have
been empty by Frlda.v night of tho miiiio
week nt the latest.
"All work theio was to have s-lnppcd by
that tlmo or earlier." he asset ted. 'This
fact was generally known throughout tho
plant."
Tho explosion occurrtil on Tuesday.
Dunn drcl.ucd tho IMdystone loading
room was tho mnt safely tit tanged Mio
of Its kind in any munition factory In
America
"The flip seemed to come from the vibrat

another wotkman, swore. "The explosion

John 11. Shepheid, 28"f! ltrldge stieet.
Ilrldcsburg. foreman of No. 1 loading loom,
took tho stand.
He told of finding In a shrapnel shell n
steel tap about tho slzo of a tenpenny nail.
Such taps ate not used in the building, he
s.tld, adding that It could have been placed
In the shell only In the loading loom
"It was a mlr.tclo that the shell did not
explode when It was being worked on," ho
declared
Jerry Fisher, of SIO South FtVnt stieet,
Philadelphia, who worked in old "F" build
ing, was 'he III st survivor who went mi
tho wltiiNH stand. Ho is a ltu.Hlaii and
spoke through an Interpicter
As soon as ho spoko ho contradicted the
theory of Wllhelm and Dunn, that the
pellet room was the scene of the first ex
plosion. "I saw nn explos'lon " said Fisher. "II
came from the direction vvheio the powdei
Is stoied, In the sbakng room.
"Ah I was going nut, 1 saw something
going up near the wall vvheio tho pow

Fislicr then pointed on a blucpilnt of
tho building the exact spot vvluie Ii was
working, gt easing shells. He said-
Tho first thing I saw. was a ! of
black dirt of powder going up hi the
air. Then something fell on tho un
capped shells nnd they started to'
burst in all directions.
I was blinded and burnt by flames
and flying shrapnel. 1 fell, then
crawled on my hands and knees anil
was painfully hurt, but I reached
safely.
In making my way I saw no wall
between ttho buildings I did not seo
a flash fom tho pellet box.
Andrew Murphy, of Chester, a survivor,
who was thrown off his feel by tho blast
while ho was working, was asked by Cor
oner Drewes, "Where did the explosion come
from?"
"It camo from the vibiating room," Mur
phy said.
He said that a large iiunntity of matches
were found by a private guard Just outside
of tho building several days before tho ex
plosion. Thomas J Kecfe, D3ni! Havei foid ave
