More Than 600 Are Injured, About 50 of Them Seriously--Loose Box­ ing of Explosive Blamed for the Disaster. Fontanet, Ind.--Thirty-eight lives snuffed out, 600 injured, of which number 50 were seriously hurt, and a property loss of approximately $750,- 000 is the latest estimate of the de­ struction wrought by the explosion at the Dupont Powder mills Tuesday morning. Where stood a thriving and busy town of 1,000 people there is ruin and scattered wreckage. The dead and more seriously injured have been taken away. Five hundred inhabit­ ants, all more or less wounded, remain to gather their scattered household goods and sleep under tents and on cots, guarded by soldiers of the state. From a workman employed in the glazing mill it was learned Wednes­ day that a ."hot box." which was caused by too much friction on the shafting, causing sparks to be trans­ mitted to some loose powder, was in all probability the cause of the ter­ rible catastrophe. Loose Boxing Blamed. The employe, whose name is Wil­ liam Sherrow and who is dangerously hurt as the result of the explosion, said: \ "The explosion In which so many lives were lost was caused by loose boxing on the shaft. The day before this terrible explosion happened we had to throw wajer on it when it be­ came too hot. This time it got too hot and sent off the sparks that caused the explosion." Another company of state militia arrived from Indianapolis Wednesday evening and immediately went into camp. The town is now under mar­ tial law, the two companies of state troops being in full control. Seven Mills Blow Up. Without warning the powder mills, seven in number, blew up at 9:15 Tuesday morning. They employed 200 men and of these 75 were at work when the first explosion occurred in the press mill. In quick succession the glazing powder magazine blew up, followed by the cap mill. In the magazine, situated several hundred yards from the mills, were stored 40,- 000 kegs of powder. The concussion when it blew up was felt nearly 200 miles away. Every house in this town was de­ stroyed. Farm houses two miles away and schoolhouses equally distant were torn to pieces and their occupants in­ jured. A passenger train on the Big Four railroad four miles away had every coach Window broken and sev­ eral passengers were injured by fly­ ing glass. The mills went up with three dis­ tinct explosions, followed 90 min­ utes later by a fourth even more seri­ ous than the others when the maga­ zines went up. Immediately following the explosions the wreckage took fire and the inhabitants of the town who rushed to the rescue of the mill em­ ployes found themselves powerless to aid those burning in the ruins. They worked frantically in constant danger from possible succeeding ex­ plosions, unmindful of their ruined homes. Dead and dying were picked up and collected. Eighteen bodies horribly burned and mangled were carted to a protected spot to await identification while the badly injured, numbering upward of 50, were put on a special train and taken to Terre Haute for hospital accommodations. Scarcely one of the 1,000 inhabitants of the town but carried blood on hands and face from his cfwn wounds or those of people who had required aid. The mills were located one mile south of the town. With the first explosion the employes ran for safe­ ty, but most of them were killed or wounded by the quick-following ex­ plosions in the other mills. When the heat from the burning mills exploded the great powder magazine, 90 min­ utes later, destroying the town by the concussion, many of those engaged in rescue work were badly injured and several were killed. Superintendent, Monahan of the plant was killed while sitting in his office and his wife and sister-in-law were killed in their home some dis­ tance away. ' Gov. Hanly at Indianapolis ordered the Terre Haute company of the In­ diana National Guard here to patrol j the ruined district and protect life : and property. The governor arrived | in the evening about the time the sol- ! diers reached here. He brought with j him 700 teptts and cots. 1 Citizens subscribed more than $5,000 to the relief fund and the council ap­ propriated $1,000 to be expended to relieve suffering. THEIR BUTTE RANK FAILS AND FlftM IS SU8PENDED. Dividends Cut--Prominent Banking House of Hamburg, Ger­ many, Forced to Wall. N«w York. -- Sensations followed each other in rapid succession in the financial district Thursday as the re­ sult of the collapse of the projected comer in United Copper and the sus­ pension of a prominent brokerage firm Wednesday. The firm of Otto Heinze & Co. was suspended on the stock exchange. F. Augustus Heinze, the Butte cop­ per magnate, resigned the presidency of the Mercantile National bank of New York. The Amalgamated Copper company at its directors' meeting cut its quar­ terly dividend from two per cent, to one per cent The directors of the Boston & Mon­ tana Copper company declared a quar­ terly dividend of six dollars in place of a former dividend of $12. The failure of Haller-Soehle & Co., prominent bankers of Hamburg, Ger­ many, with liabilities that may reach $7,500,000, was announced. The State Savings bank of Butte, Mont., of which the Heinzes are the principal stockholders, suspended. As a result of these sensations the stock market was halting and irregu­ lar, but there was apparent feeling that break of the attempted corner in United Copper had cleared the at­ mosphere somewhat, and the market rallied before the closc. The suspension of Otto Heinze & Co., of which firm Max M. Schultze is the stock exchange member, was based on a complaint to the exchange made by Gross & Kleeberg, the stock exchange firm which failed. In a com­ munication to the president of the stock exchange this firm charged Otto Heinze & Co. with refusing to accept 3,202 shares of United Copper, said to halve been bought on the order of the Heinze firm. The action, Gross & Kleeberg state, was responsible for their failure. Attorneys for this^firm stated that the amount owing to the firm by the Heinle firm aggregates $600,000.
