GAS TANK EXPLODES Frightens People—Lands in Kitchen of Japanese Boarding House A young panic was started in this city Tuesday at noon when an iron tank, two feet in diameter and six feet long, which was being used for experimental work in welding and brazing in the blacksmith shop of Clemens & Rife on North Los Angeles street, exploded, blew up through the roof several hundred feet into the air and came down in the kitchen of the Japanese boarding house, going through the galvanized roof and striking within two feet of the Japanese woman at work in the room. The accident occurred just before 12 o'clock. The machine was being tried out and experiments were being made with it, when the apparatus back-fired into the acetelene tank and it blew up as stated. The lower end of the tank was left on the floor of the building and the top went up through the roof, and landing, fell through the roof of the Japanese boarding house kitchen. The woman working there was badly frightened and rushed from the building. No one was injured by the accident, although Earl Rife, son of Stewart Rife, of the blacksmith shop, was sitting within two feet of the exploded machine. EASTER SERVICES AT THE CITY'S CHURCHES (Continued from page 1) were "Arise ye People," "The Lord of Life is Risen," a male chorus sang "Lift Your Glad Voices," and the sofa and chorus was "Bow Down Thine Ear."

Decorations were profuse and elaborate, and the church was crowded with worshipers who came to celebrate the rising of the Christ. Rev. A. Rohde, of the German Baptist church, preached a sermon entitled "Easter Greetings," and the services were attended by a large audience.
