A rumor that one of the guards had started to investigate a noise which he thought might have been made by a man climbing the fence which surrounds the buildings, just before the explo- sion, was the only suggestion of an outside agency in connection with the disturbance.

A fire there six weeks ago had crippled this department until two days ago, when work was resumed. Several Fires in Six Months. This fire was one of several which together with minor explosions, have occurred within six months. In each case, officials of the company said there were indications taat the trouble was directly due to causes which were considered natural in the hazardous work in which the company Is en- gaged. They had taken no notice at any time, they said, of reports that the plant was to be blown up because of its war munition activities. The company officers kept within the plant throughout the morning the seven men who were in the vat room. Visitors were denied admittance. Dr. Gorge B. Magrath, medical ex- aminer of Suffolk county, however, who visited the scene stated he had no official standing in the matter, as it was outside his jurisdiction. The “T. N. T.” building, Dr. Magrath said, was almost levelled by the explosion, having collapsed entirely. The benzol building was damaged but not consid- erably. Othér shops were affected only slightly. The medical examiner subsequently reported his observations to Walter Wedger, the explosives and chemical expert attached to the state police. The latter said he would make an official inquiry later in the day. Shock Felt Twelve Miles Away. The shock of the explosion was far reaching. It dropped a picture on the ‘nead of an aged women, Mrs. Caroline Ewing, who was ill in her home about | two miles away; broke glass and | tossed objects in the immediate vicin- ity and shook plate glass windows at points so far distant as Boston, twelve miles to the south. The work of the plant in depart- ments other than the “T. N. T.” went on today as usual. Inspectors of the | several foreign governments on duty there were early at the vard to view the ruins. These were still flaming | somwhnat when the day shift came on. but streams of water were being | poured on the wall between the fire | and the buildings containing explo- sives. i The plant of the New England Mfg. company is in the North Woburn sec- tion, removed from any other occu- pled property except that of the Mer- rimac Chemical company, adjoining | which is engaged in similar business. | The building destroved, one of a scorg unhin the plant was a two story brick | w teel structure valued at about | | F}:r weeks the plant, surrounded by h fence topped with barbed hich are charged with electric- been under guard by a force from former members of nd navy. tolian cost.

LAMBERT'S CASE IS HEARD. Painter Who Was Injured at Local Concern in Unique Position. An important technicality yesterday at a hearing in the pensation commissioner’s office whether an employe who is sionally employed by a concern titled to compensation in the event of injuries. The question arose over the claims of William ILambert, painter, who sustained a broken lcg while at work for Armour & Co. on December 10 According to the claims company, Lambert was first employed by the concern in Fall River, Ma and on the fermination of the work he was told that he might secure work in Norwich if he paid his own transportation to that city. This he did, and the same condition occ when he was sent to this city. The company claimed that Lamberts work was not a part of the process or work of the company. A voluntary agreement was reached between the parties involved whereby the company will pay Lambert $9 week during the time of his incapac tation. aros com- to a oc: s en- of the Judge Meskill Young Man a Chance to Reform.
