Known Basebal Heavy Explosion at East Machias, Me. IN SECRET STOREHOUSE OF POWERFUL EXPLOSIVES. SHOOK THE VILLAGE Purpose for Which the Explosive Was Intended is Not Known, Neither is the Cause of the Explosion. East Machias, Me., Oct. 15—An ex- plosion that shook this village about 4 2. m. today and was heavy enough to be heard for ten miles, revealed the fact that a building at the head of havigation on the East Machias river bad been used secretly as a storehouse for some powerful explosives. Owners Are Unknown. Ffforts to ascertain the ownership of the explosive were unsuccessful to- day, th eauthorities placing little cre- dence In the suggestions of some citi- zens that a hidden cache for eubma- rine warfare had been discovered. Re- ports that boats had been heard pass- ing up the river during the heavy storm of Friday night and Saturday morning could not be confirmed and telephone messages from the coast guard station at Cross Island and from Cutler, at the mouth of the river, ghowed that no strangé craft had been seen in that vielnity. Building Demolished. The demolished building was owned by Carroll Dennison of this village and was used as a fish stand for a hort time each year in catching ale- wives. It was built in the middle of the river. The owner sald he had not visited the place for several months and that he had no knowledge that anything was stored there. Unfrequented Locality. The theory held here is that some- one had taken advantage of the fact [that the locality was unfrequented to hide dvnamite in the building. The quantity of explosive was apparently large, judging from the concassion, but the purpose for which It was intended as well as the cause of the explosion is undetermined.
