Two negro workers died of th injuries *in the company hospital. Lloyd R. Richardson, foreman of the coke ovens, and four negroes were the other victims. a Seventy-five others were injured, a dozen of them seriously, when the two-story brick building was wrecked by the blast. Nearly all of the hundred or more men employed at the coke oven plant were injured by the terrific force of the explosion, which hurled them against the walls, bfeaking arms and legs. The work of rescue was diffi- cult because the building was shut- +, tered, burying the victims in heaps of debris. Heard For Miles Two hours after the blast, rescuers still were searching the wreckage for other vi ms. The explosion occur- red at 9:05 a. m. and was heard for miles. More than a score of the in- jured was reported in serious condi- tion in the steel company’s own hos- pital, known as the Gary Hospital. Many of the others suffered only minor injuries. Without any warning, the explo- .. sion blew off the roof and tore open “the brick walls of the coke oyen plant. Even workmen nearby were unable >to explain what they had seen. ‘They said the blast was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Debris Not Inflammable The explosion occurred on what is known as the saturation floor of the by-products plant. While an author- itative statement could not be ob- tained, it was generally attributed to gas. ‘Fire departments were sum- ~ moned, but there was little in the debris that was inflammable and nealey buildings were not endang- ered. The wrecked building was about half a block long, with a sheet metal roof, At noon firemen still were search- ing the crumpled mass of bri steel for other vietims, Five of the seriously injured men were not expected to recover. |TODAY NINON AND MELBA.

The withdrawal follows Brazil's earlier act in resigning from the league council because of the refusal of the powers to grant her a perma- {nent seat simultancously with Ger- imany, who was promised one at the | Locarno conference. League officials had been confident jthat the Rio government would not i take the final step until the European} chancellories had the opportunity to try diplomatic negotiations. The powers planned to placate Bra- zil and Spain by promising them sup-| iport for regular reelection as non permanent council members, thus giv- jing them, in effect if not in name, permanent membership. j Change Hoped For | League officials still doggedly hope | that the entrance of the new Brazil- |ian president, Washington Luis, this | fall may bring a chunge in the Rio| | government's league policy as carried Jon by President Bernados and his foreign minister, Senhor Pacheco. remains a member, by virtue of the covenant, for two years from the time the message was sent.

League Reduced To 53°‘ States Brazil reduces the league member- ship to 53 states, this number includ- | ing Argentina who, although she has not yet ratified the covenant, pays dues and is represented on both the disarmament and the council reor- ganization commissions. It is thought by some that Argen- tina will now play a leading role in Geneva, in place of Brazil. Never- theless, the Brazilians’ move comes as a big blow. It is feared this may be followed by a similar action by | Spain, as both nations have been in cutegorically that she refuses to be classified as a secondary power, which non-promotion to a perman- ent seat would signify in her eyes. |. There is some speculation whether the Brazilian withdrawal will in- fluence other Latin-American coun- tries to do likewise and whether-a project will be launthed to organize an all-American league, including the United States. le Jury in Kiewel | Case Disagrees Bemidji, Minn., June 14,—(?)—Un- able to agree after 30 hours of de- liberation, the jury in the case of John R.
