Nrw York, Sept. 14—Sunday—Flames were gaming headway early this morning in the flve million dollar flre of the Brooklyn Standard Oil plant, and had spread, in spite of desperate efforts of flre fighters, to three other big factories across Xewton creek.
At midnight police and flre department officials said the loss to date would reach flve million dollars. Casualties at that lime were estimated at 100. though dozens of persons suffering minor wounds are not recorded. No fatalities had been reported- Burning oil. thrown like flre works into the air by powerful explosions. set flre to the factories of the American Candle Company, the Columbia Distilling Company, the Vanderstein Kat Pactorj and the Industrial Alcohol Works.
Fifteen women nurses worked in the danger zone, giving flrst aid. Crowds were driven back blocks by the police who sought to keep spec¬ tators out of range of showers of blaaing oil hurled in all directlns by ex¬ plosions.
Shortly after midnight this morning two i.rciiien were reported miss¬ ing. Two flre boats in Xewton creek were reported hedged in by blazing oil onthe surface of the water ana wero rt?ported unable to operate.
The fire was spreading out of control and it was considf.-ed but a' question of time until all of the 100 tanks in the vicinity woulc   '.ie burn¬ ing.   ' Si>«eial alarms broaght  out  thirty  more  Buooklyn  engines,  forty Manhattan companies and 1,200 firemen, practically all available.
Nrw.Yorlc, Sept. 18.—Thro'wing an enormous rainbow of dense black smoke across the horizon of Long Island, one of the most spectacular fires ever seen in New i'ork raged tonight in the Stone and Fleming Oil Works, a tributary of the Standard  Oil  Company.
Damage was estimated at 11 p. m. at from one to five million dollars. Firemen had small hope of gaining control of the flre tonight unless oil stored In the red hot and flaming tanks, several of which are more than 100 feet In diameter, burn out hefore morning.
Up to 10:S0 o'clock tonight, thirteen persons had been injured fghting the flre, somt of them seriously. Five hundred firemen and 1.500 Stan¬ dard oil employes were struggling with hoses, pumping enormous streams int(J adjoining tanks and buildings. Water had small effect on the whirl¬ wind-of flames that rolled from the several-acre furnace as continuous series of explosions sent floods of gas upward.
.1 fleet ot ton f^e boats pumped torrents of water from Newton Creek. Which  borders one side of the oil  company's  twenty-acre  plant..
Several   tanks   were   drained   of   fifty   to   seventy   thousand    gallons of oil, gasoline and naphtha in order to prevent them from catching flre.
Many exploaions prevented the firemen from giving effective ser\'ice. Thousands of spectators were drawn to the scene during the night. Several police lines held the crowds at a safe distance. On sloping banks of Newton creek opposite the flre. a mob. estimated at 100,000 found grand stand se^s to watch tha bright flames churning from the tanks and up* in smokt.
Behind this' Une many women with babie/s in arms, terrorised by the fire, rushed excitedly about, chattering In many languages. The flre started about 2 o'clock when emergenfy steam appara tus failed to respond following a minor axploslon. such as occurs daily at  the plant.
As the flames spread, alarms brought out fire fighting apparatus until forty-two engine companies and dozens of track companies were working. Earty in the evening-the. fkghters had partial • control of .the blazf, but additional ejtplosions of naphtha tanks doub'ed the blaze and cauMd a stampede amoag spectators, resulting In a number of injuries-
Oil stored in all of the standard tanks In the vicinity was started through pipe lines to other plants In the city. Late tonight a terrific ex¬ plosion of t-HO naphtha. ta»k«..ad<led to the velocity of the flre. FIame.= shot hundreds of feet into the air. Fireman were forced to throw them¬ selves fltce downward in th* mud and water and turn the hoses upward lhat the shower mUrht siv* then.
Following the explosion, crowds became panic stricken and stampeded from the heat which scorched faces 300 yards, away. Burning oil. float¬ ing down Kewton creek, threatened operations of the flre boats and set flre to an Important bridge, it was reported late tonight. At 11 o'clock a hurry call was sent out. calling all flremen in Manhattan and Brooklyn Off duty to report for duty nt the flre as soon as possible.

GOMPERS PUTS BLAME OF RIOTS IN BOSTON UPON HIGH OFFICIALS
Xew Tork. Sept. 13.—Upon receipt of a telegram from Governor -Coolidge stating that his authoritiy did not en¬ able him to take back Boston police¬ men, whom he considered deserters. Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation-of Labor, tonight wired the following message to the Massachusetts executive:
"Unionizing of the policemen Is not the seeking of the American Federa¬ tion of Labor.
"The voluntary organization and In¬ sistent demands for a charter is the natural result of the futile attempt to Improve working conditions.
"Therefore, the American Federa¬ tion of Labor was and is called upon to meet a situation created by incapable, negligent   or   autocratic   authority.
"'When men are underpaid and made to work under bad conditions they seek redress. . Unable to right their giievances, or obtain better working conditions from their immediate su¬ periors, they look for redress else¬ where.
"This was the case In Boston.
"'When policemen accept charters from the American Federation of La¬ bor, It Is with the distinct understand¬ ing that strike action wili not be re¬ sorted to and no obligation Is assumed which in any way conflicts with their duty.
"In the A.,F. of "L. they.are given sane counsel and advice: out of it or affiliated with some un-American or' irresponsible organization the situa¬ tion has developed which has caused grave concern and for which the A. F. of L. does not care to accept even the
Strike Situation. Boston.   Sept.   13.—Boston  was  quiet tonight.     To  all   outward   appearances
the strike of policemen was rapidly passing into history, to be remembered as an action in which crime, disorder and mobs terrorized the citizens.
But the quiet and order that reigned tonight while 7000 troops with bayonets
Referring to the testimony of Wll- liaac »B7TrffTrl1!or#"'fhe foreign rela¬ tions committee, the senator said that his statement that Lansing had de¬ clared the American people would not accept the treaty If tHey knew its con¬ tents,'"is Significant *na oihinous."
"The President's enthusiastic excla¬ mation about the gseat document and its permeation with American princi¬ ples was perhaps not intended to be taken seriously," he said.
Discussing the voting power in the league he declared that in case of a dispute hetween the United States and Japan England with her defensive and offensive alliance with Japan win cast six votes in ^event the controversy should be removed from the council.
Taking up the President's speech of last night when W'llson gave his ex¬ planation of the six votes of England to one for the United States in the league     council.     Johnson     declared:
men were held in $1,000 to keep the ; peace.
The arrest of these men and the in¬ formation charging others is the re¬ sult of a factional fight in the town¬ ship. Attorney Michael F. Shannon, who is tax collector In the township and conceded the leader of that baili¬ wick, refused to receive the ten cents of returned service men in order that they could register and vote at Tues¬ day's primaries. On Tuesday night a mob of 150 men and boys of the Black- mans Patch, which Is in close proxim¬ ity to the Shannon home, attacked the township   boss,   handling  him   roughly.
It is said they threatened his life unless he would deviate from the plan adopted. Mr. Shannon is said to have induced the mob to oome to his home.
"He says, in effect, that the dispropor-I and  then   he  refused  to  issue  the  tax tlonate   votirg  power  Is  of no  conse-! receipts.     Another   scene   took   place

has failed to disperse the fear that the reign of lawlessness Imbued in the hearts of the citizens. It is an ominous silence which fell over the city swiftly, almost too suddenly, to bring back tlye sens« of security that goes with law and order. Is the elgn of disorder at an end. or will it break out again with renewed   fury?
Perhaps the feeling that something ominous is ImpemliAe is simply the aftermath of the days of stress through which the dty passed. To¬ night law and order rslgn. 'P.'Tiether it is permanent or artificial may be known within 4? hours.
Today Police Commissioner Curtis announced that the aciion of the police In walking out was not a strike, but desertion, and that their places are va¬ cant. .\t the sarne time he began plans for immediate organizaiion of a new police force.
