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.

Mrs. Alfred Darlow is a sister and
Arnold and August Borglum are
brothers. Madame August Borglum
and the wife of Solon Borglum, who1
lives in Norwalk, Conn., are sisters.
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."

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

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.
