CALLS WILSON TO ACCOUNT
Kansas Man Object to Statement of tho
Secretary.
F. D. Coburti, state secretary of agri

an interview severely criticising Secre

A terrific explosion in a block of six

ed five of the structures and caused the
death of from ten to twenty or more
persons. Over two scare of others were
more or less seriously injured. Some

It Is estimated that at least thirty-live

The explosion occurred about 0:50 p.

pened is not known but It is believed
to have been a barrel of gasoline in
one of the grocery stores. With tho
explosion of 1008 the front wall of the
buildings were .blown outward into
tho street, while thu floors and roof
were blown upward and fell straight
to the. ground. Almost every building
in a radius of two blocks about tho
scene of the explosion had window
panes badly shattered and were
otherwise damaged, livery building
on the opposite side of Locust street,
was more or less wrecked, but none of
them fell.
A terrible cry went up from the ruins
the moment the explosion occurred.
Women, children and men, occupants
of the wrecked houses, could bo seen
crawling from the debris, while the
agonizing erics of others were heard
lu the wreckage. From all tho sur

The text of thu call follows:
"Brethern: The officials of tho

"You will bo told that you have
