PLANT AND THE TWO MEN WERE CRUSHED - g | | b =5 | | OAKLAND, March 14.—Tons upon; tons of mitro-glycerin exploding at the‘ Giant Powder Works plant at Giflnt.‘r Contra Costa County, to-day crushed! | out the lives of two men and so badly | wounded another that he had to submit to the amputation of his left foot. The | and John | Pepin, workmen in the separating- | house at the plant; the wounded man | is Ben Schartau, foreman of the mix- | ing-house. All of the men were trusted‘ employes and had been in the com-| pany’s service for years. | In addition to the loss of life and the wounds the explosion caused great de- struction of property. This loss of prop- erty is net so much expressed in dollars { and cents as it is more apparently in| the number of buildings shattered and | the area affected. The buildings may | not have cost more than $5000, but this represents the cost of two buildings, a large amount of glass and other things. Considering the amount of explosive involved, the damage is not so great as it might have been. There have been explosions of the same amount of nitro- glycerin that affected places much more distant. The damage from the ex- plosion at Giant is confined to the pre- cincts of the town. This is due largely to the nature of the buflding in which the explosion occurred, it being so firmly built and walled about that the concussion was kept within bounds. WRECK 1S COMPLETE. The separating-house was, of course, utterly destroyed and the washing- house, a hundred yards away, was telescoped so ' that it will have to be rebuilt entirely. All that remained on the scene of the separat- ing-house was a hole in the ground ten feet deep and seventy feet in diam- eter, a few piles and stanchions and some water. All around was devasta- tion and debris. The eucalyptus trees near by were stripped of all their limbs and leaves, the leaves themselves being split into pieces. There was not a stick of whole timber about the place and wherever there was a splinter it was buried a foot or two in the ground. The bodies of poor Jackson and Pepin were nowhere to be found by the men that searched the ruins afterward. They had been pulverized, like the in- animate things that once made part of the separating-house, The utmost that could be discovered of any part of the men’'s bodies was a piece of scalp not much larger than a dollar. This was identified as a portign of the body of Jackson by his brother, Arthur Jackson, who recognized the color of the hair that still clung to it. Exactly what caused the explosion will never be known, as the only men that could give an explanation bore the secret with them to death. There are a number of theories advanced, but none that seem to fit the case. About the most plausible is that the acid with which the men were working caught fire and got so far beyond their contrbi that it went off. The officials at the ! plant say, however, that the men were too inexperienced to let such a thing occur, though they do not advance any other theory to take the place of this discarded one. 2 It is certain, however, and it was | ston. + the workmen in the “separating house” had been having trouble with the acid. It could not be made to “separate’ as it should have done. It seems that the acid was a new kind that had recently been purchased from the Peyton Chem- ical Works at Martinez. Until recent- ly the Giant Company manufactured | its own acid, but practice when the started operations. Jackson, the young man who was killed, told a number of friends only as long ago as Sunday night that he had been having trouble getting the acid and the oil that came into the “separating house” to separate. He told this to his fiancee, Miss Isabelle discontinued Peyton this company Craig, and a number of other young women who work at the plant. He said that one night he had worked until 1 o'clock in the morning to sep- arate the two dangerous liquids before he finally succeeded. Jackson declared the new acid to be the cause of all the trouble and expressed the fear that he stood in some danger of losing his life. The explosion occurred at 12:40 o'clock, as all thq clocks in Giant were stopped at that time by the concus- Most of the employes of the works were at dihner at that hour, else the loss of life might have been far greater. There are Hine girls and a large number of white men and Chi- nese at the place and if many had been upon the grounds at the time scme un- doubtedly would have been killed by the flying debris. STORY OF DISASTER. A loud, sharp report, followed by the crash of timbers and then silence, told the story of disaster to the inhabitants. Some said afterward that they felt as if all the atmosphere had suddenly drawn away and then rebounded. Some felt as if the rocfs were about to be pulled off their houses and all were frightened by the crash of glass. As soon as it was all over a rush was ‘made ‘for the scene of the tragedy, wives and children all thinking of loved ones who might have been caught and killed instantly. The first sight that met their eyes was Schartau, who was lying on the hiilside near the “separating house,” He was returning to his work from luncheon just as the explosion oc- curred and was struck by a piece of iron that was broken from a vat and sent through the air with terrific force. It struck a huge stanchion in its flight after striking Schartau and then went out of sight over a hill. chartau’s left leg was mangled just above, the ankle. Otherwise he was not hurt and when assistance arrived he was taken to the Giant Company's office. There he showed his bravery and nerve by sitting up and smoking a pipe while waiting for the doctors to come from Point Richmond, five miles away. A “1 was -iust going back to the ‘mix- ing house,’ ” said Schartau, “after get- ting something to eat. As was my cus- tom, I had gone to the ‘separating house’ to see how much liguid there was left there. I stopped a minute and then went on, but I hadn’t got far befoke the explosion occurred. At the same\time that.I heard the explosion I realized that I had heen hit and a moment later I saw that my leg was mangled. This is the first accident I have been in during my seventeen years’ connection with the works.” Frank McClellan and James * | generally known around the plant that | seconds separated them from death. McClellan was carrying a lunch to Jackson and Pepin at the time of the explosion and if he had been a little earlier would have suffered the same fate as the two men he was about to regale. Flynn was returning.to work from lunch and for some providential i reason escaved instant death, as he | was nearer the ill-fated men than either Schartau or McClellan. Nels Johnson, foreman in the nitro- glycerin department, ran away from his station above the separating- house as soon as he heard the explo- sion, fearing that the burning wood about the place might start the explo- sion in the other places and cause still greater destruction. This did not oc- cur, fortunately, and Johnson crept back out of the hole in the hillside in ‘which he had secreted himself. At the time of the accident Jackson and Pepin were “separating” the last of a lot of acid and oil that had come down from the nitro-glycerin depart- ment. It seems that after the nitro- glycerin reaches the separating-house it is separated and then run to the wash- ing-house, where it is “washed,” and then finally run to the nitro-glycerin storage tanks 500 feet away from the scene of the explosion. In course of time it is taken from these storage tanks and turned into dynamite. Jackson and Pepin should have been through with thelr work at 12 o’clock, but it is evident that they were still at work at 12:40 o'clock. They had been having a repetition of their trouble with the new acid and were staying to see that it was properly “separated.” In fact they could not have left the separating-house as long as there was any acid and oil there, as the stuff would explode if left alone. It has a tendency to catch fire upon small provocation. For instance, a piece of wood or even a cobweb falling into the mixture will ig- nite it spontaneously and then com- thunicate the flames to the other parts, ultimately causing an explosion. FIRES WERE FREQUENT. Even when the Giant Company used the oil it manufactured the mixture in the separating-house frequently caught fire. And for the purpose of quenching it the separating-house is provided with a hose, so that water may be turned on at any minute. There was frequent use for this hose lately, according to the statements of the officials and work- men about the place, on account of the uncertain quality of the new acid, and extreme caution was exercised in the handling of it. Miss Craig, to whom Jackson was to have been married on April 20 and who is the daughter of one of the Giant workmen, said to-day that she had had misgivings that an accident would oc- cur. ; “We all knew that there was danger on account of the acid and oil not sepa- rating,” she said. “Farrer told a lot bf us girls last Sunday night that he had worked until 1 o’clock one night trying to make it go. He said he had some fears, and I told him to be careful.” Frank Roller, superintendent at the works, doesn’t believe that the new acid had anything to do with it. To him, who is familiar with every branch of the vowder-making industry, there is no explanation. “Those men were too careful to let any fire get the best of them,” said the’ superintendent. “They were too expe- rienced for that, and I think it must have been something very unusual that occurred to cause the accident.” had narrow escapes and only & few The men killed had seen long service | | and McAdam formed a ccmbination te- FOUR MEMBERS BLOCK QUORTY Councilmen Hold a Street Corner Caucus and Keep| Away From Bond Meeting | SPECIAL CALL FAILS Baccus' Scheme to Get an| O 13 { BRANCH OFFICES OF THE CALL IN ALAMEDA COUNTY OAKLAND. 1118 Broadway- Telephone Main 1083.
