ETHER BLAST Six were employes in- jured and several others bruised and cut when an explosion in the engraving department of the Chicago Evenshook the Hearst ing American building. Many windows were shattered and employes were ordered out of the building when flames broke out, although the fire was short lived and did small damage. Chemicals were said to have caused the explosion. The engraving room is located in the Hearst building and also is used by the Chicago Herald and Examiner, a morntng newspaper. Immediately after the explosion a fire alarm was sounded, but the almost deserted editorial offices of the two newspaper were without immediate information whether fire had started. The injured, including three young women, were taken to the Iroqouis Memorial hospital. The explosion was said to have oc curred in the handling of a can of either in the engraving room. The flash and blast shook the building and injured several employes In the engraving room and nearby, and as the flames burst out a alarm of the fire was sounded and all em ployes ordered from the building. No one was believed to have been killed, as far as could be learned. Editorial employes of the Evening American fled with others In the building when orders were given to vacate, and one man stayed at his desk in the office of the Chicago Herald and Examiner, the morning news paper in the Hearst building, owned, as is the American, by William Randolph Hearst. When, after the arrival of firemen, employes were able to get back to the editorial rooms, editors and reporters alike were unable to give many details except that a can of ether had exploded in the engraving room and several persons were hurt. Two girls were unconscious and unidentified at the Iroquois Memorial hospital, where several others of the injured were also taken. A half dozen slightly injured or hysterical employes were being cared for in the circulation rooms of the Herald and Examiner. The fire was soon extinguished, with no great damage done, although windows on the alley side of the Hearst building were shattered. 1 Harming. Impeachment Petition Denied Salt Lake.

Thai American Smelting and Refining company and other firms were ordered to give an accounting, which, it is estimated, will net Carson or more. For ten years Carson has lived in poverty, in a sailor's hotel here. "Don't tell people where I live," he pleaded. "I don't want to be bothered." "I didn't feel like shouting or going on spree," the old man continued. "I don't know how I will spend the money. I don't drink; I have no bad habits that cost money; I am not married, and have few relatives. "Maybe I'll spend a little money to fight booze and bootleggers. I hat liquor, and would give a lot to see the country rid of it." A life filled with hardships has left Carson stolid and unsmiling. He thinks only of his inventions. "I have made hundreds of them," he said, "but only the one for the cost of smelting copper has been put to use. The others are resting unused in the patent office. I'm not through, though. I'll keep on inventing things it's the only thing I care to do." Carson left his Kansas home at the age of 14. He wandered over the West, and while working as a laborer, perfected his invention. Now, at the end of the rainbow, he appears stunned by his sudden fortune. "I haven't seen any of the money yet," he said.
