THE' OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 5, 1919. 8 A' BIG GAS TANK BURSTS CAUSING INJURYTO ONE Windows Broken and Walls Cracked Wben Huge Nitro gen Gas Plant Ex plodes. Windows in the Cudahy hydrogen plant were ihattered and the walls cracked by the explosion of an im mense hydrogen tank 60 'eet in di ameter and 30 feet long, outside of the building at 11:10 yesterday Anton Yost,, an employe forking near the tank, was cut about the face and body and badly bruised. 'The explosion was caused by too much ' pressure being forced into the tank, according toA. M. An derson, master mechanic. The ex plosion was not heard but the shock was felt throughout the entire packing district. Windows in adjoining buildings wer shattered by the force of the explosion and a frame building near the tank knocked down. Officers of the company were unable to esti mate the damage until a careful survey can be made of the damage done the buildings. The hydrogen plant is situated back of the main building which es caped serious damage. It is a two story brick building and the walls are badly cracked. About 20 employes were working near the scene of the explosion, but all escaped injury except Yost. An oil tank was punctured by fly ing fragments of the tank. Shingles Blown from House. Shingles are reported blown from the home of Al Frank and other houses on the county line more than a mile from the scene of the acci dent. Windows were broken in the school house at Thirty-third and J streets. The Fenton Drug store at Thirty sixth and Q streets, near the scene of the accident, was badly shaken. The windows were broken and bot tles and packages shaken from the shelves. The entire telephone system of the Cudahy Packing company was put out of order and in some of the offices typewriters were thrown to the floor by the force of the shock.

McMillan Asks That He Be Correctly Quoted J. F. McMillan, chairman of the executive committee of the street car employes, speaking before the Central Labor union last night asked that a statement in which he was misquoted by another daily paper be corrected. He was quoted in that paper as saying he favored a 6-cent street car fare. McMillan said he made no such statement. But what he did say was that "If the street car company would show by its books and thereby prove that a 5-cent fare is not adequate to make the company fair returns, I believe not only the employes, but the public, would favor a 6-cent fare. But if they won't show their books I would take it for granted that the company did not have grounds for asking for an increase." v . Quarantine Not Broken by Donahue, Says Manning Ti t anrtinflf ' ritw nVlVCirian SaVfi that reports circulated about the breaking of the quarantine at the home of Tom Donahue, 2340 South Thirtv-second avenue, are false and that there have been no irregulari ties in regard to the quarantine at the home. Mr. Donahue took sick with the disease several weeks ago and was quarantined in the third floor of the home. The other members were vaccinated and the house carefully fumigated, according to Dr. Man ning. Later the two small children were taken sick. They are now in quar antine. Mr. Donahue, who has re covered, is living at the Omaha , Athletic club while the home is in quarantine.
