DUPONT BLAST
KILLS MANY
Trinitrotoluol House at Glbbs
town Blows Up.
_____. ' \
OVER A SCORE INJURED
Terrific Explosion Scattered Mangled
Bodies and Dismembered Llmba
Over a Wide Area.
At least thirteen men were killed
and about forty injured in an explo
sion at the Repauno dynamite plant oi
the Dupont Powder company, at Gibbs
town, N. J.
The cause of the explosion is unde
termined, although it is believed that
a tram-car entering a building filled
with trinitrotoluol, struck a spark and
ignited the high-power explosive.
The explosion was followed by fire,
but the main portion of the plant was
not endangered. The buildings level
led were known as trinitrotoluol and
the nitrobenzol houses. Trinitrotoluol
is an explosive of very high power
used in the manufacture of mines and
shells.
The driver of a dray, Frederick
Ream, of Gibbstown, was blown from
his seat and -instantly killed as he
passed one of the soup houses.
Worklngmen reported tbat there
were probably at least twenty dead
and that from fifty to sixty injured
were lying on the ground a few min
utes after the explosion occurred.
Mangled bodies and dismembered
limbs were seen. None of the men
would talk on the subject of what
caused the explosion, but all areed
that the first one was small as compar
ed to the great blast which followed
bo quickly that it seemed to be almost
a continuation of the first one.
The little powder town was thrown
into a panic by the explosion. Women
with children in arms rushed to the
gates of Repauno plant. The plant is
enclosed by a high fence and admit
tance was refused to all except offici
als of the company.
Although only sixty men were em
ployed In the trinitrotoluol house,
made of frame and covered with cor
rugated Iron, there are 2000 men in
the employ of the company at Gibbs
town. The plant extends about four
miles along the Delaware river front,
and covers 4000 acres.
The explosion was what Is known
among munitions Jnsßers as a "rag."
A long-drawn hissing sound, followed
by a sharp but comparatively light re
port.
Workmen rushed from the danger
zone and attempted to leave the en
closed grounds of the company. Arm
ed guards drove them back and order
ed all to assemble quietly at the exit
gates. After a delay of an hour, all
employes who desired to go home were
permitted to do so, upon showing the
proper credentials to the company
guardß.
In the meantime hundreds of men,
women and children from Gibbstown,
Paulsboro and other nearby towns,
rushed to the scene. They huddled
outside the main gates of the plant
and made pleas for Information re
garding relatives and friends employ
ed by the company.
There was no information forthcom
ing, however, and hysterical adults
rushed to telephones and tried to call
up the offices of the company. Tele
phonic communication was Impossible,
the service bejng out of commission.
About the town it was aid that the
concussion had torn down the wires,
but indignant employes charged that
all wires had been cut down on orders
from officials of the Dupont company.
The whole town was intoxicated
with fear. The total of dead and in
jured as given out by the company,
did not tally in the least with alarm
ing reports of dead and injured as
given by workmen leaving the yarda
As soon as the seriousness of the
explosion became known, scores ol
motor cars, carriage*, wagons and ve
hicles started for Gibbstown from
aro md the countryside. Owners of
motor cars and wagons offered their
aid in carrying the Injured to hos
pitals and offices of physicians.
Officials of the company refused to
allow entrance to the plant and the
volunteer ambulance drivers remained
outside awaiting an opportunity to
give aid. Residents of Gibbstown
brought pillows and bed clothes to
the scene, and whenever an injured
employe was sent home or to the hos
pital the trip was made comfortable
as possible.
Although the official statement ol
the. Dupont company gave the number
of buildings wrecked as only two, men
employed at the plant declared live
others were shattered. The building*
reported destroyed, but not mentioned
In the company s statement, are sul
phur house> dynamite house, Inspec
tlon building, engineering bouse and
acid storehouse.
Shock of the explosion *u felt for
twenty-five miles around. Camden wag
rocked by the blast and the »hock was
plainly felt In Philadelphia.

TREASON PLOT
TOLD AT TRIAL
Casement Was Promised Set
man Aid In Irish Revolt.
HIS COMPANION CONFESSES
The Accused Man Sought to Recrulf
a Brigade Among the Prisoners In
Detention Camps.
How Germany fostered- the revolu
tionary movement in Ireland, aided
Bir Roger Casement in promoting the
revolt and the extent to which Ger
many was prepared to assist with
money and men the uprising in Ireland
was shown when Sir Roger Casement
faced the bar in London for a prelimi
nary examination to determine wheth
er he should be held for trial on the
charge of treason.
Aj-ralgned with him waa Daniel Ju
lian Bailey, captured after landing
from a German U-boat on the coast of
Ireland and who faces a similar
charge.
Details of the efforts of Sir Roger
Casement to recruit a brigade to aid
in the revolt movement, from among
the Irish prisoners held in the German
detention camps and promlsea held out
to them by Sir Roger of pecuniary in
ducement and German protection if
the movement failed or Germany met
defeat in the war, were presented to
the court by the district attorney, cor
roborated by witnesses. Two former
Irish soldiers, captured by the Ger
mans and who were asked to assist
Casement in his recruiting scheme
among the prisoners testified as to the
efforts of Sir Roger, the promises and
rewards he offerel and the failure of
the Irish to Join in the revolt.
In opening the case the attorney
general charged that Casement had
conducted a systematic campaign
among the Irish prisoners in Germany
with the purpose of seducing them
from their allegiance. Bailey, he said,
had been seduced In this manner and
had made a statement explaining
Casement's actions in detail. Accord
ing to the attorney general, Railty
sailed with the original expedltl nary
force to France an 1 was taken prison
er in September, 1914.
The attorney general said Bailey
had related how a lar?e number of
Irish prisoners had been colle: teJ
from various prisons In Germany and
placed in a large camp at Umburg.
There Casoment tried to persuade
them to support him in his projected
expedition to Ireland. The attorney
general said Casement described him
self as the organizer of the Irish vo
lunteers, and Impressed upon the
prisoners that everything was to he
gained for Ireland by Germany's win
ning the war. Those prisoners who
Joined a brigade, ho was attempting to
form, were promised hy Casement, the
attorney general asserted, that In the
event that Germany won a sea -I at.le
he would land the brL.a'le Injrelan l
to defend that country aj»n'nH Kng
land, an-l If Germany lost the war tin
German government wruld give each
man £lO to -C2O (SSO to $100) and
free passage to America.
"This Is tho plan con"elved in
1915," said tho attorney gee al, "by
the man who, In 1911, was be;iiing Sir
Edward Grey to convey his deep ap
preciation to the king o' the honor of
knighthood, which had Just b*en cun
ferred on him.'
When the speaker added' that Ca e
ment's offer was treated with con
tempt by a vast majority cf the Ir'*h
prisoners, Casement smiled ami glanc.
Ed toward Bailey.
Sir Frederick Smith followed the
story of Casement's alleged machlna
lions In Berlin with details of hi*
trop by submarine to Tralee, where he
landed on Oood Friday wl h Bailey
and a third man named Montelth, who
Is still at large. Ho also told of the
sending of a ship with 20,000 rifles
from Germany to Tralee and of how
this ship was aunk at Tralee and the
crew was captured.

FRANCE SPURNS j
PEACE^PROFFER
Wants Germany to Ask For
Terms, Says Poincare. ,
HE ANSWERS THE KAISER
Will Not Bubmit to the Condition*
Offered and Insists Teutons Must be
Vanquished.
President Poincare, In an address
at Nancy, roapondod to Germany's
declaration regarding pe,ace contained
In tlio German reply to the Amerlcart
note:
"France rioea not want Germany th
tender peat e,' said the president, "but
wants her adversary to a k for poace.'
The president then made known
clearly the billy kind of peace wliish
would be acceptable to Krance. The
address was delivered at the MolUor
garrison before a largo number or
Lorraine refugees, to whom the presi
dent, after expressing his sympathies
and renewing promises of sulUitude
and protection said:
"France will not expose her-gbno to
the dangers of new aggressions. The
central empires, haunted by remfirae
for having brought on the war, and ter
rified by the Indignation and hatred
they have stirred up In mankind, are
trylhg lodav to make the world bo
lleve that the entente allle alone ar
responsible for the prolongation olj,
hostilities—a dull Irony which will de
celve no one.
"Neither directly nor Indirectly have
our enemies offered UB peace. Hut we
do not want them to offer It to us; we
want them to ask Jt of us. We do not
want to submit to their conditions;
wo want to Impose ours on them. We
do not want a poaco which would leave
Imperial Germany with the power to
recommence the war and keep Europe
eternally menaced. Wo want peace
which receives from restored rights
serious guarantees of equilibrium and
stability.
"80 long as that peace Is not asuur
ed to us; so long a our enemies w II
not recognize themselves as vanquish
ed, we will net eeaaO-to fight."
President Polnearo told the refugees
that they were only a small number
or the victims of the invasion; the e
were distributed In all parts of tut
country, and there was not a do art

PLANTING CORN.
The Time to Plant Varies With the
Season and the Locality,
When the ground becomej sufficiently
warm to start the leaves on the deep
Tooted trees, like the oak, the walnot
and the Osage orange, It is time to
plant corn, according to C. 0. Cunning
ham, assistant In co-operative experi
ments In the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
"Tho time to plant corn varies with
the season anil the locality. The grow
ing season In southern Kansas Is from
two to three weeks earlier than that in
northern Kansas. In the western part
of tlie statj>j£a altitude is a factor In
fluencing the tflme of planting, in that
the season Is shortened as a result of
the greater elevation.
"Under average conditions there is a
lierlod of about three weeks during
whleh' >corn may be planted with equal
chances of success, although some
times, because of peculiar climatic con
ditions, very enrly or very -Wte plant
ings ore besfc IN the northern and the
northeastern portions of the state
from May 1 to 20 Is, on the average,
the best time to plant corn, while in
southern Kansas most of the corn is
planted In tho last three weeks of
April."
The time required to mature the va
riety of corn grown Is a factor to be
considered, points out Mr. Cunning
bam. Early maturing varieties may be
planted comparatively late with good
results, wbllo into maturing ones must
necessarily obtain an early start In or
der to ripen properly. Since the top
soil becomes warm earlier than the
subsoil, the surface planted corn may
be seeded earlier than the listed corn.
A wet soil warms up more slowly
than a comparatively dry one. Corn
consequently can be planted In the
dryer soils earlier than In the wet ones.
Kor this reason early lanting is safer
In western than In east trn Kansas, be
cause of the naturally drier condition
of the soil In the western part Of the
stute.
