Eddystone Plant At Bristol, Penn.,
Scene of Fatal Accident.
CheBter, Pa. — One hundred and
sixteen persons, most of them women
and girls, are known to have lost their
lives, and 121 were injured by a se-
! ries of terrific explosions in the shrap-
I nel building of the Eddystone Ammu-
j nition Corporation at Eddystone, one
I tnile from this city. Many of the in
jured were mortally hurt ana it Is ex
pected the final death list will reach
150, while otners probably will be
maimed for life.
Two suspects were arrested In con
nection with the explosions. The pris
oners are Samuel Cohen, 25 years old,
of Philadelphia, and his father, who
is described as being between 50 ani
55 years old. It is said the older mat
was well supplied with money am
that neither Is an American citizen.
Officials asserted that papers found on
one of the men "were incriminating
and very important."
How any of the three hundred or
more employes in the building, in
which were stored approximately 30,-
000 shells, escaped is almost beyond
conception, as there tvas scarcely a
fragment of the structure left intact.
I Fire added to the horror and most of
the bodies were so badly charred that
identification was impossible.
St. Louis Is Safely Home.
New York.—Running safely through
the danger of the German submarine
blockade of Great Britain and with-
out sighting a periscope, either on the
outward or homeward journey, the
j American mail and passenger liner
j St. Louis arrived at her home dock,
j The St. Louis was the firSt American
I passenger boat to be armed and travel
I through I lie danger zone around the
| British isles since Germany's declara-
tion of January 31, and she was well
armed for the trip. But her guns
were used on no German target.
Cleveland Manufacturer To Manage
Supply of Ammunition.
Washington.—Creation of a general
munitions board was announced by
the council of national defense. It
will be headed by Frank A. Scott, a
Cleveland manufacturer, and will be
charged with supplying the army and
navy with munitions and equipment.
One of its chief functions wilt be to
decide between the country's military
and industrial needs.
The board's establishment puts Into
the hands of a group of army and
navy officers and Industrial leaders
virtually the same task given the
British minister of munitions. It
creates machinery for a government
lepartment of munitions with Its
jad a cabinet minister of which con-
Juct of the war brings the need.
Active military and naval participa-
tion In the conflict many believe will
produce that necessity.
U. S. Flag On French Front.
Paris.—The placing of the Lafay-
ette flying corps under the American
flag to symbolize the entry of the
United States into the war has been
liBCUssed for several days. The
Pigaro says the Stars and Stripes
re flying over the headquarters of
:he American aviators.
Federal Election Powers Curtatiled.l
Washington.—Federal authority to
prosecute frauds in general staate'
•lections and United States senator-
al primaries were materially restrlct-
,'d by supreme court decisions.
Hank of Brigadier General Abolished.
Washington.—The rank of brigadier
jeneral in the regular army of the
United States is abolished by a pro- [
fision of the army appropriation bill I
taken up by the senate. All general
>fllcers will have no less rank thau
:hat of major general.
