THINK DU PONT
PLANT HOODOOED
A. P A. Sai-vio*. ,
CARNEY POINT, N. J„ January 29.
—A dozen of the employees of the Du
Pont Powder company's plant suffer
ed severe burns during the course of
four fires which occurred In quick
succession today. The flames broke
out at widely separated points and
were all speedily quenched by the em
ployees before serious damage result
ed. The cause of the several Area Is in
doubt and there seems to be no ex- 1
planatlon. In one Instance It was only 1
through the most heroic efforts that
the flames were prevented from com
municating to a large quantity of
powder stored ready for shipment.
The employees succeeded In remov
ing the explosives by quick action but
not before a number were burned,
some of them seriously. There Is a
general feeling among the employees
that there Is a hoodoo of some sort
attached to the plant owing to the
great number of explosions and (Ires
which have occurred at Intervals dur
ing the past several months. While
few of the occurrences have been of
great seriousness, on several occas
sions the destruction of the entire
plant with the possible loss of the
army of employes has been averted
only by a scant margin, and In several
instances the escape has been nothing
short of miraculous.

guidance of official pilots. Consul
Skinner at London reported to the
state department today that he has
received official notification of the lo*
cation of the new mine Helds Consul
Skinner Is Informed that they are lo
cated in the Baltic near The Sound and

which have been made by them and
the United States.

Sunday In each month it 11 a. m.
AL NICHOLSON. Pres.
Lansing issued a specific denial today
stating that there Is absolutely no
foundation for the story as negotiations
with German government are progres
sing with entire satisfaction.
Lansing says that except for the
final settlements of the Indemnities,
the Lusitania matter may be consid
ered as closed. The secretary admitted
however, that Germany was seemingly
not inclined to meet the demands of
the United States with an agreeable
spirit but refused to voice an opinion
as to whether or not this might lead
to solous friction.
