The roof of an iron warehouse was ripped off and the walls are full of holes, while the homes of the army oflicers are stripped of their chimneys and walls and plaster. The loss there is estimated at $100,000. The statue of Liberty virtually is undamaged, but the doors to, the pedestal are blown in. Stories told by those who narrowly escaped death verge on the miracu- lous. One man says he was blown off a lighter into the bay and swam to Bedloe’s Island, but had to swim back a to the Jersey shore when the flam: barges bombarded the island. ‘The aid seemed to be full of flame and I thought the end of the world had come,” said another sur- vivor. A third man was blown fifty fee from the top of a freight car and landed near a building which fell upon him Police Chief Killed. The Jersey City police today added the list of dead Cornelius J.

This loss is amply covered by insurance. “It would be mere guess work to estimate the damage now,” Mr. Mac- Kenzie said, “but it was at least ten million dollars, very likely much more.” The damaged goods included thirty thousand tons of raw sugar, valued at between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, and twenty-four thousands bales of tobacco.

While federal and county prosecu- tors and the interstate commerce commission were conducting investi- | gations to determine the cause of and fix the responsibility for the great ammunition explosion with its toll of death, injury and destruction, Mayor Mark Fagan of Jersey City an- nounced that he would demand a ressional investigation of the ter He id that such an in- vestigation was imperative in order to enact more stringent laws for the transportation and storage of high ex- plosives than are provided in the present regulations of the interstate | commerce commission. The mayor asserted that the state of w Jer although it had stringent laws ning the transportation of ex- s within the state, was at the of the federal laws, to which the Jersey authorities have been obliged to conform in order to per- mit interstate commerce. The inter state commerce regulations, he sai allowed the transportation and s e of high explosives in quantities far too large. “The responsibility for the explo- sion,” said the mayor, “is entirely up to the inte te commerce commis sion whose regulations permit stor- age and transportation of huge quantities of high explosives. There seems to be no redress in the mat- te The only solution of the prob- lem that I can see now is to appeal to congress. I have already request- ed three New Jersey congressmen to take steps to bring about such an tigation. It »ms unnatural a catastrophe could occur a civilizéd community.” Under the New Jers Dickman, agent of the lley railroad stationed at Tom pier, where the explosion curred, and Alexander Davidson, su- perintendent of the warehouses of the National Warehouse Storage com- mostly destroyed, were brought in Jersey City under ar- nd held in $5,000 bail un- til Fr They were charged with “permitting Johnson Lighter No. 24 loaded with high expl i at Black Tom 15 sey, £ov plo: mercy Alfred Lehigh Black oc- law, into court rest today tford Insw e Losses. .
