LONDON, May 5. As a result of the Liverpool factory explosion five people are dead. Two explosions occurred within a few seconds of each other. They were accompanied by thunderous crashes and flames of blinding yellow and smoke. The explosions threw down the majority of the workers, including the women, and blew the root across the street. The fumes> choked and blinded the injured as they smuggled from the building. The approaches to the factory were speedily thronged with weeping women and children rushing up to get news of their relatives, thus necessitating mounted police to control the crowd.
