I * * POWDER EXPLOSION DEEP MYSTERY [Continued From First Page.] nothing would be left undone to deter mine the cause of the explosion, stated that they were without a thread on which to base their hopes that its origin ever will be ascertained. Every Precaution Taken Charles B. Landls, an official of the Du Pont Company, gave out a state ment to-day in which he said that every precaution had been taken to protect the Du Pont plants and that these precautions had been redoubled with the receipt of war orders. "'Our policing system," he added, "is under the direction of Major Richard W. Sylvester, former chief of police of Washington, and he is in charge of the company's secret service. "Every means will be exhausted in an attempt to solve and explain this explosion, hut at present we aro with out a single thread on which to hang our hopes that its origina ever will be ascertained. The whole thing is an absolute mystery. Not a man is liv ing who was in or even near the pack ing house when the accident occurred and we seem to bo without the means of even starting an investigation." Warnings on Trees Reports that notices had been found nailed to trees and fences leading to the Du Pont plants at Upper Hagley and at Carney's Point warning em ployes of Teutonic origin that they would imperil their lives by continu ing to work at either place were re ceiving the attention of the big force of detectives working on the case to day. These reports were discredited by the investigators and officials of the company alike but in order to leave no stone unturned it. was decided to run down every possible clue. After the reports had gained considerable circu lation several days ago the company made a thorough investigation hut de clared they had found absolutely nothing to Substantiate them. Men accustomed to travel the roads in the vicinity of the plants were said to have .seen the notices upon several occasions but stated they had remain ed in position for only a few hours at a time. The notices, according to one of these men, read as follows: "Americans who lost their lives with the sinking of the Lusitania did so after due warning. All men of Teu tonic origin are hereby warned that If they continue in the employment of the Du Pont Powder Company they will do so at their peril and will be taking their lives in their hands." Spark From Shoe The theory that is most widely cred ited is that the explosion was caused by a spark from a horse's shoe strik ing a stone or piece of metal or from a spark caused by a small car running over some powder that had been spill ed In the yard. Workmen in the yards said that Just before the explosion oc curred a car containing several thou sand pounds of black powder had been drawn by two horses along a narrow gauge track to the entrance of the packing house to be prepared for shipment. Some of the powder It was said may have dropped from the car and either a horse's shoe or the wheel of the car could easily have ignited it and caused a flash to reach the pow der in the car exploding it and the powder in the house. Most of those who lost their lives were under 20 years of age, and with the exception of Allan Thaxter, whose home was in Portland. Me., all lived in or near this city. The force of the explosion was so great that the vic tims' bodies were torn into shreds and scattered in every direction, making positive identification impossible. The list of killed was compiled from the Tuberculosis Is Stubborn and often does not yield as patient and doctor think it should, even when the best of care is taken and every natural aid to relief made use of. All medical experts agree that rest, fresh air, pure food and hygienic living sur roundings are essential. Yet, in many rases these measures do not bring the desired results. Under such circumstances we feel justified in suggesting a trial of Eck rnan's Alterative. It has given relief to many sufferers from tuberculosis, and often has aided In a recovery. One constituent is a lime salt, so combined with other helpful ingredi ents as to be easily assimilated by the average person: and. since it does not contain any narcotic, opiate or habit forming drug. Its use Is not attended with danger. At your druggist's or direct. Eckau Laboratory, Philadelphia. —Advertisement William W. Lott Independent PIANO TUNING 701 N.

Deputy Coroner Harvey Nichols this morning took charge of the remains of the victims, nearly al of which, however, were but human fragments, and began an investigation. Later he will summon a jury and a formal in quest will be held. Remnants of Roilics Found All this morning officials of the Du Pont company were hard at work on the list of victims endeavoring to have the list already published either verified or corrected. Difficulty is ex perienced by reason of the fact that many of the men were known by name only, some having come to Wilmington to work recently, and their homes have not yet been located. The manner in which the. bodies of those in the mill were mangled and the fragments scattered far and wide makes it difficult to assemble the parts Into the semblance of a complete body. On *he other side r>f the Br&ndywlno river was found a human trunk, the clothing on which was torn and scorched, but it was by the clothing that it was recognized as the major part of the body of Allen Thaxter, one of the workmen. His home is in Port htnd. Maine. This was the largest of the many remnants of bodies that were found and the only one that was positively identified. The names were taken from the payrolls and it is known that not a man who was in the mill at the time escaped either death or Injury. "Flare-up" Causes Another Explosion at Powder Plant By Associated Press Wilmington. Del.. Dec. I.—There was an explosion of powder at the Carneys Point (N. J.) powder plant of the Du Pont company about 6.30 o'clock this morning, but there was no personal injury and very little loss. The flash was seen by persons in this city and the noise heard, but most people knew nothing about it until several hours later. Company ofliviais say the incident was what is called a "flare-up" In a blending mill, due to a small quantity of powder becoming ignited. But the few employes in the mill at the time were not touched by the flare or in jured In any manner. The property damage is slight, the officials say. Dr. Mullowney's "Peace Calendar" Gets Attention Dr. John J. Mullowney, of Paxtang, prominently connected with the State Department of Health, has just issued a "Peace Calendar" and diary for 191 G. It is from the press of Paul Elder «<-. Co., of San Francisco, and every leaf let contains an appropriate sentiment on the subject of peace, including the following from Governor Brumbaugh: "I am intensely interested not only in the preservation of the peace of the nation, but in the development of the spirit of peace in the citizens of this great Commonwealth." There are also quotations upon every one of the 365 pages of the cal endar from distinguished public men, authors and speakers in all the ages of the world. It is a calendar which will doubtless attract much attention and its form as a dally memorandum and diary gives It special value. The purpose of the calendar and diary as stated by Dr. Mullowney is educational. He says: "It appeals to all men to put away from their hearts the race hatreds and national greed and lusts from which wars and righting come." There is a peace message for every day of the year. David Starr Jordan makes an appeal for peace as a fore word to the calendar. EMPEROR CONGRATULATES CHANCELLOR ON BIRTHDAY By Associated Press London, Dec. 1. A message of birthday greetings and congratulations has been sent by Emperor William to Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg says a Reuter dispatch from Amster dam which quotes the German ruler as saying: "I heartily congratulate you, dear Bethmann, upon your birthday which, unfortunately, you have to celebrate a second time while war is raging. In these serious times you have been my faithful and tried pillar. Your suc cesses deserve my sincere congratula tions. They are envied by your ene mies. I trust Providence may bestow upon you further successes to the benefit of the Emperor and the em pire and the proud satisfaction of your family. This Is the sincere wish of your grateful Emperor." RESIGNATION IS CAUSE OF SPECULATION [CoutiiiucMl From First Page.] Kingsway with the probable loss of five members of her crew Is reported by London. The Balkan States continued to dominate both the mlltiary and diplo matic (situation in Europe. Rumania's attitude apparently is causing the cen tral powers great uneasiness, while Greece's refusal to limit her military effectiveness as requested by the en tente is of equal concern to tliosc pow ers. Rumania is said to be only waiting the presence in the Balkans of pre ponderant entente military forces, be fore dispatching an ultimatum to Aus tria and German military critics ac cording to a dispatch reaching London express considerable dissat isfaction with conditions in the Bal kans, predicting both military and diplomatic difficulties ahead despite the brilliant Serbian campaign of Field Marshal Von Mackensen. More over it is reported that Austria is op posed to tho Idea and possibilitv of Bulgarian domination of. the Balkan States, and it is suggested that a de sire to forestall any friction in this connection was responsible for the German Emperor's recent visit to Vienna. Greece steadfastly refuses to con cede to the entente demands for the unrestricted use of the Greek port of Saloniki as a base, and furthermore declines to remove her army from Macedonia. Except for the capture of Prisrend by the Bulgarians there lias been no marked change in the Serbian military situation. The fate of Monastir, re ported to have fallen before the Bul bars, remains obscure, notwithstand ing definite reports that neutral con suls in the city had arranged to turn it over to tho attackers after with drawal of the Serbians. But later dis patches stated that telegraphic com munication with the city was still maintained, including that it had not been entirely evacuated. The eastern front has been com. paratively quiet. The Russians are reported as being greatly strengthen ed along the Biga line, imbued with a confidence that they can shatter the German defenses whenever a forward movement is deemed expedient. Vienna reports that the Italians seem determined to capture Gorizia with the least possible loss of time, but progress against the defenses of the town is exceedingly slow. Visit of Kaiser Was to Obtain Land to Assure Neutrality of Rumania By Associated Press Paris, Dec. I.—Diplomatic circles at Rome believe, says the correspon dent of the Journal that the visit of Emperor William to Vienna was made to reconcile If possible, divergent views of Germany and Austria and obtain a | pledge of territorial sacrifices from Hungary in the hope of assuring the neutrality of Rumania. Alexander Marghiloman and P. P. Carp, leader of the Rumanian con servatives are reported to have as sured the Duke of Mecklenberg- ISchwerin when he was in Bucharest that the benevolent, neutrality of Rumania could be counted upon by the Teutpnic allies If Germany could induce Austria to cede Transylvania and part of Bukowina to Rumania. M. Carp is said to have promised also to bring about changes in'the Rumanian cabinet. Negotiations between Berlin and Vienna, the Journal says were fruit less owing to the determined opposi tion of Hungary and it is asserted that the German ruler is endeavoring to induce Emperor Francis Joseph to consent to the sacrifice of Transyl vania upon *he understanding that Germany will return to Austria two provinces of Silesia annexed to Prus sia in 1566. Efficient Railroad and Telegraph Lines Erected Along German Front By Associated Press ■ Paris, Dec. 1. —The remarkably ef fective system of railways and tele graphs which the Germans have con structed to connect with Field Mar shall Von Hindenburg's forces along the Riga-Dvinsk front is described by Charles Rivet, in a dispatch to the Temps from Petrograd. He says the Germans have given full scope here to their genius for organization and that their railways have excited the admiration of all who have seen them. These lines are brought from the rear to the front in pieces like chil dren's toys and immediately linked to gether. Thus a network of rails ex tends behind the entire front. At the same time they have constructed three main lines from East Prussia to Riga- Dvinsk sector. These lines have regu lar schedules and are open to the pub lic. There also are electric tramways connecting the small villages notably around Poniewescli. Similar efficiency has been shown in constructing telegraph lines in all directions. M. Rivet draws the con clusion that the completeness of this railway and telegraph construction in dicates that the Germans Intend to make the Riga-Dvinsk line the base for their projected advance upon Petrograd. Real Object Was to Stop Peace Efforts, Rome Says Rome. Dec. 1, via Paris.—The real object of Emperor William's visit to Vienna was to put a stop to the efforts Austria is making, by means of nego tiations through Madrid with the Vatican, to obtain a separate peace with the quadruple entente, says the Tribuna. Vienna and Berlin disagree on the question of peace. Berlin de sires to treat separately with each of the allies, so as to break up the quad ruple entente and then to crush Eng land. but Vienna desires a real and lasting peace to end the tension, which rapidly is becoming too great for Austria to bear. MEMBERS OF AIsTRIAN CABINET HAVE RESIGNED Amsterdam, Dec. 1, via London, 1:45 A. M. Reports that several members of the Austrian cabinet have resigned are confirmed by an auto graph letter from Emperor FVancls Joseph published in the Wiener Zei tung of Vienna. The Emperor has accepted the resignations of Dr. Karl Heinold D'Udynski. minister of the interior: Dr. Rudolf Schuster Von Bonnott, minister of commerce and Baron Engel Von Malnfeldon, minister of finance.

CLASTER Gems - Jewels - Silverware 302 Market Street Ol'lvX KVttMMtS I NTII, CUKISTMAM 0 ALL WEST SHORE OR IMPROVEMENT [Continued From First Page.] to be taken up. discussed and then carried to completion. The interest is not centered in any one town. Men in all of the com munities are actively engaged in mak ing the West Shore a better place. Martin Endorses Move State Senator Frank Martin, of West Fairview, is an ardent advocate of Im provement and heartily endorses the movement inaugurated for the purpose of bringing about improvements on the West Shore. Senator Martin has taken a lively interest in the affairs in the lower end of Cumberland county and his endorsement of the betterment association means that another of tho territory's most prominent citizens will work for civic Improvement. Senator Martin believes many good things can be done by united effort. He favors a bridge across the Susquehanna at Maclay sUreet, Harrisburg, and op poses the plan of some persons to have a structure at 'State street, to cross the river to Wormleysburg. Speaking of the bridge, Senator Mar tin said: Bridge at State Street "A bridge at State street would end by bumping up against the State Cap itol on the east and on the west it would verge into th" present turnpike at Camp Hill. A new free bridge should be built across the river from Maclay street, Harrisburg, to either North or Clay street, West Fairview. Now you can see the advantage of a structure at that point. It would have a direct outlet on the east toward Lin Kl est own and the Kast End of risburg. On the West Fairview side there would be almost a straightaway State road leading direct to Sterrett's Gap and on to New Bloomtield. Then by a short water gap route, Ickesburg could be reached, the Tuscarora mountains crossed and the trip re sumed to Port Royal. Also, by lflanching off at West Fairview, after crossing a bridge at Maclay street, a State road leads to Enola, Marysville, Duncannon and other points in that vicinity. And just think, too, what a delightful drive could be taken if tho the bridge was built. You could travel up Front street in Harrisburg, cross the bridge to West Fairview and go down this side of the river to Mar ket street and the scenery is the pret tiest to be found any place. This round trip could be extended by traveling over a road which leads to Oyster s Point, or further west to Lamb's gap. By crossing the Conodoguinet at Bo son's bridge a most delightful return trip could be taken by way of Camp Hill. At present no such varied trip is available out of Harrisburg. From an economic viewpoint, a bridge at West Fairview would be a great saving. It. would link together two of the great freight yards of the Pennsylvania Rail road Company at West Harrisburg and Enola. Workmen could travel be tween the two places by direct route. The distance would not be too great to walk and much time would be saved. Manv men working in Enola who live in West Harrisburg could cross the bridge and reach their homes in much less time than they do at present. A belt lino trolley on the bridge would be a big benefit too. Favors larger Subway "At Wormleysburg I am in favor of the widening of the subway under the railroad at Walnut, street and would also suggest the opening of a wide street westward to Camp Hill with a crossroad which would extend to Washington Heights. "The erection of a community high school is another thing which should interest people all along the West Shore. The Berkhaus tract at the upper end of Wormleysburg would be an Ideal location for the school. It lies between the trolley line and Front street. The ground is excellently drained and the surroundings are of the best. With the opening of a road through (he subway ot Walnut street, children from Camp Hill. Washington Heights and Lemoyne would have easy access to the school. For those who would have to use street cars, the children in West Fairview and Enola would have a direct route. New Cum berland children could ride to tho lower end of Wormleysburg and then would only have to walk through the town. Parks and Drainage "As to the establishing of park and drainage systems, I believe- each borough should work out its own plans. A joint sewage disposal plant would be a good thing but only ex pert engineers could determine whether such a plant could be estab lished." Senator Martin Is a firm believer that Fort Washington should be pre served as a State Park. During the sessions of 1913 he Introduced a bill asking for the appropriation of $20,- 000 for the purchase of the tract. The bill passed both houses of Legis lature but was vetoed by Governor Toner because of the lack of funds. Senator Martin believes that If tho West Shore people make a united ef fort something may be done In tho near future to save the ground. "Fort Washington was the real high water, mark ot tho rebellion," said the Sena tor. "and tho emergency men holding that vantage point kept Early and hwell from sacking Harrisburg." P. R. R. TO BUILD NEW FREIGHT SPUR [Continued From First Page.] capacity from Franklin street to "a point near Locust street where *it would tap a lateral sewer leading to the Susquehanna river. Such a sewer has been spoken of a number of times in Steelton council to do away with the old canal nuisanco which with its stagnant or sluggishly flowing water has been a constant menare to health in the upper end ot' Steelton. Each time the project has been mentioned, .however, it has been held up by the men who knew that | ultimately the railroad company would 1 have to utilize the canal to reach tho' j profitable freight business of tho [Pennsylvania Steel Company. For months past railroad engineers : have been at work endeavoring to | plan a new lino to the steel works that i would not cross the right of way of I the Reading company, which followsi i closely the west bank of tho canal. | By the present canal the Pennsyl vania tracks will follow the towpath from the typewriter works, to where I tracks have already been laid, down through Steelton to the steel works. The tracks would cross Franklin, Con estoga and Trewick streets at grade, it is said. The spur Into the Hotter Flouring Mills would be made by cir cling tho Reading's right of way which ends a short distance below Trewick street, it is said. Just how soon the interested com panies will make public their plans is not known, but Steelton municipal circles are expecting an ordinance granting tho privilege of crossing Franklin.Conestoga and Trewick streets will be introduced in Steelton's council within the next few months, and prob ably at the December meeting. Boys Use Civic Club's Headquarters Basement For a Lodging Place I In the arrest this morning of two I 14-year-old colored boys, Clarence Wilson, 242 Liberty street, and- Rus sell Jones, 232 Liberty street, the po i lice department believe recent milk | thefts will be cleared lip. The boys ! were about to cross Market street ] bridge when arrested. The police had been notified by the parents of tho boys that they were out all night for a week. An investigation brought the dis | covery that the boys were using tho basement of the Civic Club headquar \ ters. North Front street, as a lodging place. The police found a number of empty milk bottles; several filled bot tles, crackers and bread. The boys said they bought the milk and other food. BANKRUPT NERVES Each of us has a certain supply of nervous energy. Every act, even every thought, uses up some part OL* this energy. During rest and sleep i the supply is Increased by the blood | which gets the needed elements from j the air we breathe and the food wa eat. Your nervous energy is like a bank account.
