ECHOES OF EXPLOSION
FROM MANY QUARTERS
JERSEY CITY, Feb. 2.—Yes
terday was the first day, exclusive of
holidays, for six weeks when no Immi
grants were received at Ellis Island,
which Is about a half mile from the
explosion. On the main floor of tho
registry building there Is a huge room
forty feet high with heavy glass lights
and huge slanted windows 15 by SO feet.
About thirty persons were hurt on
the Island altogether, only three of
these being Immigrants. Qluseppl Qrec
co, an Italian boy, who has been re
fused entrance and will probably be
sent back to Italy, was seriously cut
about the forehead and hands by fall
ing glass In the baggage and dormitory
building. Several doctors at work on
the land side of the main building were
severely cut when a window near which
they were experimenting was blown In
upon them. Dr. Ashford had a temple
artery cut open. He, with Dr. Mullen,
both assigned to Inspection duty, were
the worst hurt of anyone on the Island.
With the other inspection doctors, how
ever, they went to work tying bandages
on the injured.
Both Commissioner William Williams
and Assistant Commissioner E. aid
were subjected to a shower of glass in
their offices, but neither was cut in
the latter’s office the glass was hurled
close by him and his stenographer.
Miss Emma B. Osterhouilt, sitting on
the opposite side of the desk was quite
severely cut She was cool during the
actual excitement, but when It was all
over she quietly fainted. One of the:
young women stenographers in the of- j
flee became hysterical just after the 1
crash and began to pray.
In the dormitories, where approxi
mately 63d immigrants were quartered,
there was only a slight panic. Several
of the foreigners got down on their
knees and began to pray. Someone
screamed something about Messina,
ind for a moment it looked as though
there would be a real panic, but just
at this point, a squad of Interpreters
rushed In among them and shouted :o
•hem In a babel of languages that
■'hatever had happened, it was all over
now and there was no cause for
alarm. Qule* v as quickly restored
The Immigrants were quartereo In
the baggage and dormitory building,
which Is the nearest large building on
the island to the scene of the evp’o
slon. Every pan, of glass on the first
floor of this hu l ling was powdered,
but there were only tw,, small win lows
broken on the second floor. Tn the
statistical building, adjoining this on
the south, several government em
ployees were badly cut and bruised by
falling glass. Among them Ihlef Will
iam E. Junker was the mosf severely
hurt. ITls face was gashed with sev
eral long, deep wounds.
There were about 1.400 persons on the
Island at the time. None of the burgee
used to transport immigrants from
steamers to the island were so much
as scratched, hut considerable damage
was done far beyond where they lay.
The civil engineer of the Island ex
pects to make an accurate report of tho
damage tomorrow. It was rough y esti
mated today In the neighborhood of
$50,000. This Is exclusive of several
j ugly looking cracks In walls of tho
S buildings In various parts of the Island,
which may prove serious and add a
large amount to the figure.
The property loss occasioned by the
fx plosion will be enormous. The
heaviest sufferer In this respect Is the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, at
whose docks the disaster occurred.
Vice-President Besler sets the rail
road's loss at about $200,000. The
United States Government Is also a
heavy loser, with $50,000 damage at
Ellis Island and an additional $10,000
or $15,000 at the army headquarters on
Governor’s Island and at Bedlow's
Island, where the Statue of Liberty
was shaken bare of many windows and
big electric lights.
Tho blast was probably the largest
explosion of dynamite that lins ever
occurred anywhere, Intentionally or by
accident. Fifty thousand pounds went
up in the single detonation. There was
a marvelous escape, however, from a
much bigger disaster, for there was
another 60,000 pounds standing on a
siding within 100 feet of the pier-end,
which stood unexploded through all the
tumult. The cars which contained It
were twisted and torn and the boxes
were strewn on every side, but the
dynamite, thick with the dust and
debris of the explosion, wag unharmed
and Intact In Its paper coverings.
The bureau of combustibles of New
York city, in a statement by Com
missioner Johnson, puts a little side
light on the disaster by declaring that
the Katharine W„ the dynamite lighter,
where the explosion occurred, is an old
offender, and that the district-attorney
was already preparing to take action
early this week against her In the case
of a shipment of 2,500 pounds of dyna
mite which was Improperly left un
guarded on an East river pier on
Christmas eve. The explosive was
seized by the bureau of combustibles,
condemned and sold at auction.
Robert Peele, professor of mining In
Columbia University, and a noted ex
ert on the use of dynamite, has the
following to say in a statement to the
public: “The Communipaw explosion
hould receive the attention of the
legislatures of every State In the Union.
1 believe from my experience with
dynamite, that every State should enact
a law making it compulsory with those
who ship explosives of this nature to
have them frozen before being put in
transportation. It should also be de
manded that competent men, experts
with dynamite and Its dnngers, should
in charge of the shipments from
the moment they start from the fac- ,
lory."

EYESIGHT OF NEWARK MAN
INJURED BY EXPLOSION.
Samuel Demarest, 36 year3 old, of 107
Summer avenue, was one of the more
severely Injured by the explosion, an'’
today his sight Is uffected, although it
Is not believed his eyes are perma
nently injured. He was one of seven

plosion, all of whom were rendered un
conscious and injured by the concus

Mr Demarest Is a special agent, of

JAMES WYNNE HURLED FROM
A BOAT INTO NORTH RIVER.
James Wynne, of Polk street, New
ark, tells a graphic story of that part
of the explosion he saw Just as the
fearful force of It hurled him from a
boat Into the river.
Wynne says he had Just finished his
morning work loading fertilizer In hl»
own bolat when he noticed a small boat
bearing a red flag moor at pier 7. He
says he knew It was a dynamite boat,
or he had often seen them unloading
there, but he called the attention of his
companion, Hanlon, and the two stood
watching a few moments as the men
began loading the dangerous stuff at a
smooth, swift pace,
Suddenly, from the pier there flushed
a blinding cloud of seml-lutnlnous
smoke. At the same time an explosion
deafened him. The powder-boat
buckled up and sank. He was lifted
bodily off his own rocking boat and
flung, stunned, far out Into the water.
The next Wynne remembered was
being picked out of the river, half
drowned, by a New York policeman.
He says he believes the first explosion
| came from the powder-boat, almost
simultaneously detonating the dyna
mite on the car.
LEHMAN TELLS OF HIS
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Isaac Lehman, oL 781 Clinton avenue,
Newark, says he was standing In tho
ferry house looking out upon the ships
when the explosion came with a roar
and a crash that rocked the whole
structure He was hurled against the
outer w all of the shed, he says, and lay
stunned severaj mlnuteR while chaos
raged all about. A light flashed from
somewhere, and Lehman says he saw
i team of horsiM rear and fall back
ward and lie threshing on the shed
floor. A woman had fallen near them
and their lron-Hhod hoofs struck her
and knocked her bleeding und uncon
scious across the shed. Lehman saw
that she was rescued and then
stumbled through the debris to safety.
SIDE OF OFFICE BLOWN
IN ON CAPTAIN LAMB
JERSEY CITY, Feb. 2.—Cap
tain John T. Lamb, the pier cap
tain of the Jersey Central, wan In his
office on Pier 6 with two of his assist
ants, he said, taking applications from
two young men who wanted to go to
work as cooks on the company’s boats.
Captain Lamb was taking down their
names when the side of the office blew
In on all of them. The whole party of
five crawled out from the wreck and
were loaded on an express wagon and
taken to a tug which carried them to
New York. Jersey Central officials
went to the hospital and took Captain
Lamb and his assistants away, but
William Nellson.and Frederlckson, the
two boys who were hunting for Jobs,
] were turned loose In the street In their
bandages to make room for people more
| badly hurt.
Robert Abelard, a surveyor of 890
Myrtle avenue, was In the station, he
said, when a skimming sheet of glass
cut off the top of his derby hat. It
went on and nearly cut In half a man
who was ten feet away from him.
Abelard fainted and became conscious
again on a ferryboat crossing to New
York.

Didn’t Go Back to Snooze,
lor Spring Is
Nigh.
Spring Is just six weeks away. Flno
news, len t It? Sets your blood stirring
pleasantly, Just tho thought of it—an.l
your eyes sparkle In anticipation. And
your Angers itch to get into that trunk
of light, bright May-day raiment and
put It on and go dancing down the
street In It, under tne treea budding
In the smiling warmth—and the birds
fairly rioting In song. And the Aneal
pari of It Is that It's news as true as
Gospel. For Isn't this Candlemas Day.
and didn't the ground-hog ooine out oi
hls hole this mornDig to And all the
woods dark and a drizzle wlt^ rain and
sleet and no more sign of thue sun than
you'd And In a dungeon deep? So, of
course, the ground-hog couldn't see his
shadow, for the excellent reason that
he didn't cast one.
If the sun had been out nnd he'd
have seen hls shadow, why, of course,
he'd have gone back Into hls hole foi
six weeks more and winter would have
lasted aw'ay along Into April. Hut not
seeing It he knows It’s going to be an
early spring—coming six weeks ofT, at
the very worst—and so ho went back
Into hls hole for Just a couple of days'
beauty sleep before getting up to wel
come the vernal season.
But this year It happens that we
'OUND NO
- HiS SHADOW
don’t even have to uae the ground-hog
to make euro that spring is coming
early. Weather Bharps have noticed
for several days now that great Aig.its
of birds were passing northward, and
the weather sharps say the instincts of
these b.rds is all but always tnfalll le.
They "sense" the approach of the
warmer weather long before it comas
to human beings, and having in tin- ir
own wild way concluded the an nor
weather is close upon us in par
ticular clime, they are hurryir. orth
werd to the colder regions near the
Arctic.
Others have noticed an unusually
early stirring among the for at
oreatures, and that, they say, is an
other sure sign that “the dead days
are nearly done.”
incidentally, however, you wouldn’t
take the day itself for mu h of a
springtime harbinger. Rain that was
hall rain and half snow and slu hy
beyond patience when it struck the
earth, fell all ihrough the early hours,
and when the mercury Anally succeed
ed in groping up from 2S degrees at 7
to 38 at noon, the. fall changed 10 j st
plain rain and kept the town just as
miserable as before.
Prof. Wiener is Inclined to believe
It's going to cl» ar up this evening, how
ever, and wouldn't be surprised If it
came off nice and balmy with the sun
out again for a day or two at lenst.
Which would be a Ane hnrbinger if It
only comes to pass.
TWO HELD ON CHARGE OF
ILLEGAL CIGAR-MAKING.
Two cigar manufacturers who were
recently taken Into custody by offi
cers of the Internal revenue for the
Illegal making and soiling of cigars
were arrnlgned before United States
Commissioner Samuel F. Bigelow to
day and hold In $1,000 ball each. The
prisoners were taken from the Second
Precinct station by United States Mar
shal Louis J. Beckman
TWh two prisoners before Commis
sioner Bigelow are regarded as the
central figures In the alleged whole
sale swindling of the government. They
are John Detano, of 161 Eighth avenue,
who Is said to have violated six sec
tions of the Federal laws governing
the manufacture and sale of tobacco,
and Nlcholo 'l’urco, of 4 Gorsldo street,
whom the Internal revenue officers
charge, among other violations, with
moving from his place of business with
out notifying the deputy colleotor, as
provided for by the Federal law.
It Is understood that the activities of
the Internal revenue deputy collectors,
Breldenbach and Cavanaugh, who havo
arrested five persons this week charged
with violating the Federal laws, have
not ceased. Chief Deputj1 Collector E.
Alien Smith Is loud In his praise for
the men, who are apparently putting a
stop to a leak In the United States
treasury.
ARCHBISHOP RYAN IS
SLIGHTLY IMPROVED.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2.—Arch
bishop. Ryan's condition, although still
extremely critical, showed slight Im
provement this morning. He slept three
hours last night.
Physicians In attendance upon Arch
bishop Ryan said at noon today that
the venerable prelate Is slow’y passing
away and the end may come at any
moment. They Issued the following
bulletin: '
"Archbishop Ryan is slowly and
gradually growing weaker. This morn
ing he fell Into a seml-comatose con
dition, from which he may or may not
emerge.”
The archbishop collapsed about 10
a. m„ after having had a comparative
ly good night and morning. It was
feared that he w&b about to ' pass
away, but the physicians brought him
out of the spell. Later he again,
lapsed Into a semi-conscious state. „
PUBLIC SERVICE ADDS
CARS TO “MAIN LINE.”
In a letter to Commissioner Harry B.
O'Connell, chairman of the committee
on streets and highways of the Board
of Works, Trolley Inspector Joseph
Crawford reportB that there has been
an addition of four ears on the ' main
line” during the rush hours, cutting
down the running time from fifteen to
seven and a half minutes. The ad
ditional service was begun last night.
This means that the traveling public
between Westfield and Newark and
Elomara and Newark will be greatly
benefited. There will now be eight
cars an hour In either direction dur
ing the busy hours.
On previous occasions when the Pub
lic Service has been asked to put on
more cars they gave ns thei reason
for not doing so the fact that they
could not run them over the “Four
Comers" at the rush hours. It Is ex
plained, however, that the Increased
service on the "main line" will add
four more cars nn hour on Broad street,
which Is not as congested a highway
as Is Market street.

avenue and consists of the mother;
