YOUTH, BLINDFOLDED FALLS ACROSS RAILS Crowds, Horror Stricken, See Sulclde Attempt New York, July 19—About 7 o'clock last night while the Time Square sub- way station was crowded, passengers became curious as’ they saw a young man draw from his hip pocket a Jhandkerchief, fold it with meticulpus card and then blindfold himself by tying it @bout his head. In a mo- ment the rumbling of a south bhound local train was heard, and just as the cars came in sight the blindfolded man threw himself across the tracks. Women screamed and fainted and the men stood by as if dumbfounded. Danlel Weisglass of 765 Trinity ave- nue, however, retained presence of mind, and with Instant death threat- ening risked his own life. The train was rushing toward the sprawling figure on the tracks. Weisglass juraped to the contrete bed and began waving his arms frantically, Motor- man Bacon saw him just in the nick of time, and brought the train to a stop with a suddenness that threw its passengers to the floor. Confusion Reigns, Meanwhile the screams of the women had attracted throngs to that part of the statlon, which is near the Forty-first street entrance, and there was great confusion. Patrolman John Wissel of the West Forty-seventh street station rushed below on hearing fhe cries of wom- en and succeeded {n restoring order and preventing a tieup in traffic. At the Flower hospotal, where he| was treated for a bruised shoulder| sustained {n the fall, the young man revealed himself'as John Scovelli, 19, of 366 First avenue, Long Isiand City. | Scovelli said that he came to this country two years ago from Italy. Liked Army. Several months ago he made up his mind to join the army. Upon exami- nation he was told that an affection of his rieht eye disbarred him. More determined than ever to enter the army he went from hospital to hos- pital consulting specialists for exam- ination whenever his limited means| would permit, in the meantime earn- ing a bare living by doing odd jobs. Without relatives or friends and growing more despondent all the while, Scovelli yesterday came to the city and roamed about from place to place, not knowing what to do. The intense heat accentuated his natural depression, and he finally decided to blindfold himself and jump in front| it a suibway train. | That is the story he told the police at the West Forty-seventh street sta- tion, where he was taken after being treated by Dr. Dessick at Flower hos- pital. And he added that he was still without interest in living. He was later sent to Bellevue hospital for ob- servation. MINE RIOT SUITS. e AT, : | Claims Have Been Entered Against ‘ Williamson County for Damages. Marion, Ill, July 10.—Six suits against Willlamson county were filed | yesterday for $217,420 for damages| resulting from the Herrin massacre. These are the first suits to be filed, but others are expected, as none o(‘s these is from families of the nineteen men who were slaughtered. The largest claim—for nearly $200,- 000—was filed by the Southern Illi- nois Coal Company for damages to its mine and automobile, which was ambushed. The Hamilton Lester Coal Com- pany filed suit for $17,000 damages to the steam shovels in a mine which were also blown up during the riot. Individual claims ranging from $200 to $1,000 were filed by Mike Melah, Carl Mankins and Robert McLennan of Chicago for wearing apparel and personal property lost during the| riots. CLAIMS INNOCENCE Mrs. Brunen Insists She Did Not Com- mit Murder, as is Charged Mount Holly, N. J., July 19.—Mrs. Doris Brunen, widow of the slain cir- cus owner, John T. Brunen, declares . she is innocent of any connection with his murder. This is the first state-| ment she has made since her arrest| on June 12. She is charged, with| her brother, Harry C. Mohr, and Charlie Powell, alleged confessed slayer of the circus man, with com- | plicity in the murder. | Mrs. Brunen declared. her inno- cense during a few minutes of free- dom in the court vard of the jail Almost constantly she smiled and said that she could not understand why| she was held. The only thing that| worried her was the delay in the| trial. | Before returning to her cell, she| urged her lawyer to ask that her| brother be given opportunity to visit the court yard at intervals. She has not seen him, she said, since her ar- he sat by rest. ¢ = | at Rl\'crslfl;.’ Brunen was shot March 10, the assassin shooting| as By Marian Hale Attend to you beach makeup and your ball-room complexion will take care of itself, That's bow the modern summer girl figures it out, The old way of introducing your face, neck and shoulders to the sun, unprotected, and expecting the sun to do the honorable thing, now is dis- credited. Now the girls at the beaches take as good care of their akins as their grandmothers who used to swathe themaelves in veils, ! They can put on hathing suits of pale pink or blue satin, trimmed in lace, roges or fringes, and look en- chantingly pink and white, Their real complexion is hidden un- der a coating of cosmetics. The cosmetics are a means, not an end, They make a coating that keeps off the sun's ravages as effectively as vells or parasols. To be sure these cosmetics are very apparent and they make the wearers look like so many dolls, but the eve- ning tells the tale, The makeup stays on even in the water. Waterproof rouge, powder and eyebrow trimmings stick until soap is administered. Beauty specialists now say it Is im- perative to preserve the complexion, that the sunburn and tan dry the olls from the skin and bring on wrinkles and signs of old age. Many shops now put up regular va- cation beauty kits, a special assort- ment for the girl who is to spend her vacation at the beach, and others for the girl who will be motoring or in the mountains. The important features are a cleans- ing cream, which removes all the traces of soil and grime, a foundation cream upon which to put the heavy coating of powder, an eyewash to re- lieve the burning and irritation that comes from bright light reflected on water, and soothing lotions and astrin- gents, Also speclalists recommend some sort of head covering that will pro- tect the hair which becomes faded by the sun. Fashion experts are co-operating with beauty doctors. They are mak- ing most attractive bathing togs, with much more covering than formerly, equipped with capes to protect the shoulders and arms, The most charming of these are effective only on well groomed women because they come in delicate colors, So your summer duty to your com- plexion is plain. g CITY OFFICIALS MAY LOSE “FREE PHONES” Council Will Recelve Recommenda- tion Tonight—80 Telephones Are Now Charged to City Between 25 and 30 city employes and officials who now have telephones in their homes at the city's expense, will probably lose that service as a result of agitation started by the com- mittee on suppiies and printing and seconded by Mayor A.

Edison, now 7 years old, said yesterday on the 45th anniversary of his invention of the phonograph. Mr. Edison, dressed In a new light |Suit and apparently in the best of health, was seated at his desk in the laboratory rapidly calculating a group of figures when interrupted by news- paper men. In his first few minutes of conversation Mr. Edison added an- other to his already extensive list of epigrams: “All things come to him who hustles while he waits.” ' said Mr. Edison in reply to a question, "I don't think the radio will ever replace the phonograph. I |worked on the radio after the war, using the apparatus we had on our submarines, but I found when I tried it for recording there was too much mutiliation of sounds, which {s rather difficult to overcome, “I believe I have the phonograph close to perfection,” Mr. Edison con- tinued. “The piano can now be per- reproduced. I am trying now to achieve a reproduction of Beethov- en's Ninth Symphony, played by 75 |instrumeqts. I can't say when T shall Ibe able to accomplish it, but I think I can,” In speaking of the original model of the phonograph, now in South Ken- sington museum, London, Mr. Edison said: “Nobody around here seemed in- terested In it, and the museum want- ed some things. I also gave them the original of the first incandescent |light. I am not interested in = old |models.
