Mingled with the screams of the injured came the shouting of those who had remained uninjured, who rushed to remove the dead and in- jured from the debris of shells which had been scattered by the force of the blast. Mrs, Warren, who was killed, was the mother of 10 children and had just started to work at the powder plant. While the rescue work Was going on, the lives of the employes spared from the explosion were endangeréd by the constant bursting of shells which were discharged by the fife that: followed the detonation. Out- side at a distance stood anxious men and women, many of whom had hurried to the plant in automobiles to ascertain whether their kin had been injured or killed. Although the precise cause of the explosion could not be determined last night by offictals of the company, it 1s believed to have found its origin from continual accumulation of pow- der in various pockets of the de-cap- ping machine.
