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.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
lituekeper's record. But slight hope
is held out for the recovery of the six
injured men who were taken to hos
pitals.
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.

Amsterdam, Dec. 1, via London,

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

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.

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. If you use it up faster than
you add to It you overdraw your ac
count. Neurasthenia is the name
given to nervous bankruptcy. It means
that the power to recuperate is gone.
The blood can be built up so that it
! will increase the supply of needed ele
ments to the wasted nerves and this is
the only way that the nerves can be
reached. Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills are
a tonic that especially builds up the
nerves because they supply to the
blood the elements that the nerves
need. Many nervous disorders, some
times chronic ones, have yielded to
this tonic treatment with Dr. Williams"
Pink Pills when other methods failed
to give relief. They are certalnlv
worthy of a trial in every case of weak
nerves and thin blood.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere or will be sent
by mail postpaid on receipt of price,
50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50 by the
Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec
