PLANS TO ENFORCE CHILD LABOR LAW E AFTER EXPLOSION One Man Loses Life When Con flagration Starts at Station of Oil Company TREMENDOUS BLAZE FOR SEVERAL HOURS Firemen Did Heroio Work in Fighting Flames That Were Fed By Quantities of Oil Flowing From Exploded Tanks; Railroad Traffic De layed; Origin Unknown (Special to the News and Observer.) Greensboro, May 3. An explosioa in tbe warehouse of. the Texas Oil Com pany's sub-station here at 7 o'clock thia morning caused the' death of oae man and a large loss to the oil con- For several hours a tremendous Are wai fed by large quantities of oil contained in tw.o tank rare and sta tionary tanks of the eompany. The volume of smoke exceeded anything erer seen at a fire) here. The trestle over the Lilhia street sub way was burned and all morning south bound passesger trains were delayed several hours. The name of the man baraed to death has not been ascer tained, lie eould not be identified be cause the body was so badly burned, and it is not certain that he mas em- thrco"mpn"y Started With Explosion. Just as clock were striking the hour of seven, people of the city were itartled by the noise of the explosion and the rnttling of doors and window. Gnesses that it was an explosion or earthquake were soon answered by the sounding of the fire alarms and the sight of a tremendous rolume of smoke rising at the plant of the Texaa eom pany, which is on the main line of the Southern Bailway near the State Nor mal College. Thousands of people went within a short distance of the flames. but only firemen went rery close, for tht reimin that other tanks were near and might explode. ' A pipe that connected two big sta tionary tonks was melted, and this turned hundred of gallon or oil upon tho ground to' bora. Fortunately, how ever, seat tt tht other tankt exploded. Tht lost to tht Teut company it con siderable. Many dwellings are atarby, but were not seriously damaged. -At oae place the' oil ran down the street for a block, and fire covered the street for tbs"ntira block. Window were broken in the train from WinstoB-&flem, wAtk tii just pasted tht pi at, and wat only a block' away when the explosion occurred. Many panes of glass in windows and doors of houses from one to five blocks away wert shattered by the force of tht explosion. Firemen Did Heroic Werk. Firemea did the best work they could under tha circumstances, and this work waa important in saving adjoining property and making it possible after two ' jura to get the cut off vtlvt of tht stationary tanks and shut off the fliw of oil. Water was of little value ia fighting thia type of fire, except at it protected adjoining property. It is believed that the man who lost Lis lift wat on bis wsy to work aad was passing tha place just as tbt ex plosion occurred. Some time after the lire started hi body was found lying oa the railroad bank, and it had evi dently been thrown there by the force of tbe explosion, the body covered with oil and tht clothing tflre. The origin of tht fire wilf probably never lie known, at no one was near enough to see its ttart, and if ht had liecn, he would have beea killed in ttantly. Speeulatiou ventures tht ideas of spontaneous origin, or a spark from a passing engine, but the former sug gestion is more' likely correct. "Was Deliberately Destroyed" Greensboro, N. C, May I. Tha find ing late this afternoon of small insu lated wires 75 feet long, leading from the plant of the Texas Oil Company which was destroyed by aa explosioa and fire thia morning, across tha rail road to a point some distance down tha street, is strong evidence la tht opinion of Deputy State Inauraaet Commissioner W. A. . Scott, who it at work on tbe ease that the property waa deliberately destroyed. The explo sioa caused tbe loss of but ono life.
