ONEDEAD, I3 HURT |2 IN AUTO WRECKAGE Bus Hits Steam Roller and Peaple, Are Scalded S Nyack, N. Y., Aug. 10.—One young woman was scalded to death, two more are dying and eleven others, all employes of The Christian Herald of New York, were injured ' here last night in one of the strangest automo- bile accidents of recent years, when a sightseeing bus in which they had * driven from ' New York collided with a steam roller. All the injured were enveloped in clouds of steam when the impact burst a pipe on the roller, and before they could be dragged away were so badly burnt that it is feared the death list will number three more. The dead girl was Miss Jean Roda, 18 years old, of 768 Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn. Her body was taken to| 1 the Nyack hospital, where the twelve injured were carried in ambulances and passing automobiles. The bust was loaded with women who had spentr the day here visiting the Christian Herald's children’s home in. Upper Nyack, which was cel- ebrating the thirtieth anniversary of its founding. The festivities, to which little children enjoying a two weeks' vacation had added their gayety, had passed off happily, and the visitors were on the way back to their New York homes 'when disaster befell them. The engineer of the steam roller, powerless to shut off steam from the broken line, could do nothing but wait until the boiler was empty ot \apor By then Miss Reda and two others had been burned so badly that they were uncofisclous. The journey had been made in two buses. One of them had passed the steam roller safely, about a half mile | from the home on Highland avenue, a state road which is under repair, so that only half the roadway is passable. The driver of the second bus, seeing! the first safely negotiate the narrow passage, though he, too could slip by. Instead the big lumbering car side. swiped the heavy roller, ripping away the main steam supply line from the boiler to the engine. The crippled bus, locked fast in the heavy, immovable roller, came to an instant stop so that those of its pas- sengers on the side of the road ma- chine were exposed to the full force of the scalding vapor that hissed in great clouds from the broken pipe. In all, about 40 women and girls were in the bus. The jar of the col- lision threw them into a tangled heap, making it all the more difficult for| those wrapped in the burning clouds| to extricate themselves. Broken glass and splintered timbers added to their difficulties, and for a moment there was the wildest confusion, as bus and roller were blotted from view, and only the screams of the injured told those nearby that something terrible had happened. After that first instant, there was a wild scramble to escape, the passen- gers tumbling out, shreiking and yell- ing. Some, oblivious of their own hurts, plunged back into the steam to save others from the death that awaited them if they were allowed to lie where they had fallen. A few fainted, and some, too badly hurt to assist in the rescue work, staggered to the side of the road and fell. Passing automobilists, drawn by the noise of the crash or the screams of the injured, joined Nyack people who came pouring from mnearby houses, and as fast as possible first aid was administered to those most severely burned. Meanwhile the alarm had been sent to police headquarters and the Nyack hospital was notified to pre- pare to recelve an unusual number of emergency cases. All the doctors and nurses available were mustered in a hurry and one after another the vie- tims were rushéd.to the hospital. The home in Upper Nyack is main- tained by . The Christian Herald, which is published at the Bible House in New York. Many of the visitors were patrons of the enterprise, which annually gives a country outing to thi th en AYS WAGE FARNERS w io Wi el al in in M m el B m bij te ci il re m fr m le te: i m Mountain. now enjoying a brief summer respite the so-called ‘‘peak period" according to a statement the National per cent greater last pre-war basis. approaching the the cost of living was below the ‘peak’ and in conzequence ‘real former ’peuk' figures. \TECHNICAL EDUGATION engineering study colleges, gathered for Mechanical Engineering, official journal of the American So- says that eers of greater importance greater demand than during the per- sor of mechanical engineering, of the Carnegie Institute of Technol- ogy, show a sharp decline in enroll- fldren of the city and others were members of the executive staff or em- ployes of the publication.
