Kight were in critical condition but physicians ex pect almost if not all of inem to, recover. Gradually, the hospitals | were releasing more children with bandaged heads, and arms in 1 slings, who walked the streets, liv-. ling symbols of the tragedy The task of the experts was un 1 dramatic but of Importance. They hoped to establish the exact tension why the natural gas accuinulat ■ 1 ed in the building's sub-basement i exploded with enough force to de I inolish all Its walls and dump Ils ■ three floors and roof on top of the other. The basement was a I cavity Is .-.oath the 30ft foot long ' building, without windows or othi er opening to the outside, walled | and paved with concrete. The ex ; plosive experts pointed out that it : was comparative to the brass carti ridge case of a rifle bullet it con fined a high exposive. natural gas. , as tightly as a brass case confines gun powder. Its detonator of a 1 nature unknown, when set off had | the same result. This explanation was considered by Dr. E. P. Shock, professor of | chemistry at the University of ■Texas and the stale's leading ex- ' plosives expert, who arrived yes terday afternoon and thoroughly explored the ruins. Dr. Shock said some of the gas radiators in the building may have had faulty vents, and it was possible that the gas accumulated between the walls and exploded. He could only guess at this theory be cause the blast tore the radiators ! to pieces and left little evidence ( 'of their original condition. I Columbia City Men Given Higher Wages Columbia City.
