The communist newspaper Ilu-
manlte boldly stated It was "dissat-
isfied with tho effect of the bomb
and printed a summons to a mon-
ster mass meeting Friday to bo fol-
lowed by another on Sunday. Tho
meetings soli? tho newspaper will
demand a reprieve for the "two In-
nocent martyrs In America who are
victims of an Infamous capitalistic
conspiracy."
Marcel CarMn. flnmmnnW msm-

iick on iierrlcK.
'It Is true" eald Mr. Cachln
"that I wrote some articles In which
1 said the American embassy had
received numerous protests which
had remained unanswered and that
I said that tho tlmo had come to
act. I was merely thlnklnir of the

EXPLOSION ROCKS
CITY AT MIDNIGHT
Gasoline Agitator at Con-
stants Refinery De-
stroyed by Fire
i
ALL ESCAPE iNJURY
Agitator Filled Thursday Pre-
paratory to Run; No Em-
ployes About Tank
A terrific explosion rocked Tulsa
about 11 o'clock Thursday night
and dazed and half asleep curious
ones ran to doors and windows to
sco tho entire western sky ablaze.
Ulack clouds of smoke which rolled
upward wero lorn by biting tongues
of fl.tmo which slashed Into the sky.
tipontafieous combustion in a gaso
line agitator at the Constantln re
finery was tho direct cause of the
xploslon which blew a largo Iron
cover off the agitator and hurled
It 00 yards. The fire followed the
explosion and 110000 worth of high-
volatile oil contained la tho agi
tator went up In smoke Tho agi-
tator itself was also a complete loss.
Tho financial loss was placed nt HO-
000 by Eugene Contantln president
of tho refinery who was on the
grounds a low minutes after tho ex-
plosion. None Wero Jnjnral.
Desplto the fact that the explos
ion carried terrific force with H
and broko scores of windows In
W'mt Tulsa and even In sections of
Tulsa no one was injured. Thlf
was due it was explained. tf the
act that no refinery employes were
in the Immediate vicinity of tho agi-
tator nt the time it exploded. Tht
top which was the only thing of de-
structive size torn loose by the ex
plosion fell on top of the chemlcni
building.
Quick work by the city fire dr.
partment and aid from fire fighter
of the other refineries held tho blaze
to tho one agltntor despite the fact
that two other agitators wero within
a few feet and the blazing oil en-
circled many tanks filled with gaso-
line. The heavy steel walls of the
agitator although tney meitea un-
der tho heat wero sufficient to hold
In tho burning on.
Thousands Visit Fire.
T!inuK.mds of curious Tulsans
gathered at the scene of tho fire
and the river bridge was filled with
ars and pcdestrains. moneorcaser
Heights hill was also dotted with
thousands n people who hd n
blrdseyo view of the blazo across

rived In West Tulsa with tho flrr
deartmrnt maintained order.

Impression was given that nn order

The only published plan for avert-
ing tho strike Is the suggestion of
tho public group of the railroad

rate reduction proportionate to tho
July reduction in wages. The other
feature of this suggestion embodied
the withdrawal of the strike order
