PROPERTY DAMAGE IN JERSEY
' CITY CATASTROPHE WILL
REACH TWENTY-FIVE
MILLIONS.
13 MONSTER WAREHOUSES
BLOWN UP AND BURNED
Five Eastern States Feel the Quake.
—In New York City Millions
of Window Are Smashed and
People Thrown From
Thoir Beds
New York. Sunday. July 3o
lead 3. Property loss at least 25 mil-
mion.
Tbe above are the oustanding facta
'exulting from the great blast of the
Black Tom Point munitions storage,
near the outskirts of Jersey *Clty\
which rocked tbe world'* most con-
gested district as if a giant earth-
quake had come.
Panic throughout New York City,
Brooklyn, Jersey City, and all th®
thickly populated region for miles
around followed.
The first official statement from
high authorities of the Lehigh Valley
Railway Company, in whose muni-
tions atorage cars at Black Tom Point
the great explosions occurred says:
"Thirteen brick storage warehouses
out of twenty-four owned and oper-
ated by the National Storage Company
and six piers owned by the storage
company and leased to the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company were de-
stroyed.
"Several other warehouses were
badly damaged. Minor damage was
done to the Lehigh Valley grain ele-
vator, also. As far as can be ascer-
tained. 85 loaded cars were destroyed,
according to evidence secured by rail-
road officials.
"Fire started at 1:05 Sunday morn-
ing In a barge belonging to an Inde-
pendent towing company. The barge
had been moored alongside the rail-
road company's docks, expressly
against orders.
"M. T. Henley, night general yard-
master of the New York division, eL-
high Valley, was on the pier when the
fire started.
Removal of Cara.
"Henley's first thought was to re-
move loaded cars from the danger
xone. He says that when he reached
the end of the pier the barge was
burning fiercely, and the fire was be-
ginning to communicate to some other
cars nearby. Two long cuts of freight
cars were successfully removed from
the danger xone before the fire en-
gulfed the balance.
“As yet It has not been definitely
determined just what the money loss
will be. One Item, 40,000 tons of raw
augar, valued at approvlmately 33,400,-
000, Is known to be lost as part of the
warehouse disaster.
"No explosives were stored in the
warehouses, only in cars. These were
loaded with shrapnel, which would
not have been a source of danger but
for the outside fire.
"Other cars destroyed were loaded
principally with borax * and salt.
Scene of the explosion and fire is in
no way adjacent to the main pas-
senger or freight terminals of the Le-
high Valley either on the New York
or New Jersey side.”
This railroad company statement,
the first to emanate from the source
at which the disaster started, ignores
tbe matter of human loss and the ques-
tion of original cause for the explo-
sions and the fire which resulted so
disastrously.
Panic Scenes In Buildings.
Scenes of panis on the streets were
preceded by similar scenes In resi-
dences. big hotels and office build-
*«gs, where people frantically sought
txit.
City hospital authorities were faced
Alth a big problem, when terror
among patients resulted, after the
treat explosion many sick were
Jirown to the floors of New York,
■Jew Jersey and Brooklyn hospitals.
Elevated, surface and even subway
trains were shaken and many panes
»f glass shattered. Panic around sub-
way entrances was one predominating
characteristis of the scene in New
York and Brooklyn.
Extent of the force of the explosion
was emphasized by reports coming
coming from five states, telling that
the shock had been felt. Many Penn-
sylvania cities and towns tell of feel-
ing tbe quake distinctly.
The first cut-off of communication
noticed following the first explosion,
was that phone wires of the New York
Telephone Company, leading to the
Jersey side, were out of commission
In Brooklyn, where the force of the
explosion was even more severe than
In New York proper, panic in the res-
idence districts produced a weird
scene. Inhabitants in their night-
clothes thronged the streets hyster-
ical with fear. Each succeeding min-
ute tbe explosions increased the ter-
ror and the street crowds.
So strong was the force of the first
blast, that even persons in those parts
of Brooklyn and New York City proper
most remote from the actual Black
Tom Island sebne were thrown from
tLcir beds.
Total property damage from the ex-
| ploaion la estimated by the offlciala ,
! at very least, as 25 millions.
The explosion was felt In five states,
j New Jersey. New York. Pennsylvania, I
Connecticut and Maryland.
The first source of the series of aw- (
ful blasts was the Lehigh Valley ral. |
way storehouse at Black Tom Point, i
New Jersey. Five carloads of muni- j
lions for the allies blew up at 2:02
a. m. Sunday. Fbllowed by this were
other explosions and fire, raging be-
tween Jersey City and Payonne.
Some minutes after the first explo- !
slou, the National Storage freight cars
carrying munitions for the allies blew
up. Seven million damage is tbe estt-
Known mated loss from this blast alone.
Barge Ablaze, Hits Ellis Island.
One shell-laden barge drifted d>wi»
the bay and, ablaze, bit Ellis Island.
The explosion which followed struck
down emigrants, huddled on the is
land. Loss resulting from this explo-
sion Is estimated at a million. Re-
moval of terrified emigrants was be-
gun immediately.
Two cars of shrapnel near the scene
of the National Storage Company ex-
plosion were surrounded by flames,
shortly after the blast, and became
unapproachable, terrorizing all within
view with fear of another impending
disaster.
From New York, toward the Jersey
side, there began to appear a dull ,
glow that grew brighter as the fire
which followed the Black Tom ex-
plosion grew. The Black Tom district
is near Communipaw, a part of Jersey
City.
While various estimates of dead and
Injured are made, no actually definite
conclusion can be reached yet.
Hospitals throughout the whole affect-
ed district, Jersey City. Brooklyn and
New York were being crowded witli
injured. By daybreak over 100 had
been cared for.
The first explosion, which was fol-
lowed by others, was at 2:08 Sunday
morning.

Scattering Incomplete official re-
turns from approximately 200 repre-
sentatlve precincts indicate the liter-
acy teat lost by about 2 to 1, while
the negative vote on the other pro-
posed amendments will be *\\ n larger.
At democratic state headquarters
hope was held out that the literacy
amendment would carry by a "safe
margin,” while the defeat of the other
proposed amendments was conceded.
Private advices received at republi-
can state headquarters indicate the
defeat of the literacy test amendment
by a majority of 15.000, according to
Arthur Uelssler, chairman of the re-
publican state Committee.
While the heaviest- vote against the
literacy amendment was recorded in
republican and socialist strongholds
the returns also indicate that many
democratic votes were cast against it.
The literacy test amendment was
designed to take the place of the nulli-
fied "grandfather" clause, which was
adopted at a special election in 19X0
by a majority of 29,221 votes.
The early returns indicate that the
proposed repeal of section 12A, the
school tax distribution amendment,
was voted down by a heavy majority.

Washington.—Great Britain 1* to be
warned in the American note of pro
teat against tbe blacklist made public
by the state department of the "many
serious consequences to neutral rights
and neutral relations which such an
act must necessarily Involve.”
Already In the hands of the British
foreign office, the note says "in the
gravest terms” that it is "manifestly
out of the question that the govern-
ment of the United States should ac-
quiesce in such methods" end that the
United States regards the blacklist as
“inevitably and essentially inconsis-
tent with the rights of all the citizens
of all th* nations not involved in th*
war.” It reminds the British govern-
ment that "citizens of the United
States are entirely within their rights
in attempting to trade with the peo-
ple or the governments of any of the
nations now at war subject only to
well defined international practices
and understandings which the govern-
ment of the United States deems the
government of Great Britain to have
too lightly and too frequently disre-
garded.”

itive in its terms thau officials have

Lieutenant Berg and his prize crew on

neutral waters of Hampton Roadsv
with the Intention of "laying up” the

"The court’s conclusion,” the deci-
sion reads, "is that the manner of
bringing the Appam into the waters
of the United States, as well as her
presence in those waters, constitutee*
a violation of the neutrality of the
United States; that she came in with-
out bidding or permission; that she
is here in violation of he law; that
she is unable to leave for lack of a

tion she Is without a lawful right to be

owners are entitled to restitution of
