The damage in Broken. glass alone was estimated by Fire Chief Kenlori at $75,000. d The explosion occurred dg hundreds of theater-goers were on their way to evening performances and the police reserves had to be summoned to con- trol the frightened crowds. Electric power was cut off from all buildings within a radius of several blocks, ex- tinguishing all lights. The blasts, which continued for nearly an hour, ,caused great confu- sion in the district and many persons believed that -an earthquake had oc- curred. In-several places wide cracks appeared in the payement. Shortly following the first exXplosion the six day bieycle race at Madison Square Garden ‘was halted when the fire department ordered the lights ex- tinguished as a precautionary meas- ure. The thousands of _spectators fileg quietly from the building. The blasts extinguished the lights in one theater while a girl —performer was giving a song and dance. After the actress had finished her number in the dark and an actor assured the au- dience there was no danger, the crowd filed quietly to.the streets as the per- former sang a popular song hit. Many persons had narrow escapes trom serious injury as shattered glass ang materials from. shaken buildings rlained into the street. Several per- sons were struek by glass and were taken to hospitals for treatment. Carloads of sand were used 0 ex- tinguish the blue flames from escaping gas in the sewers. The sand was poured down the manholes until the fire was smothered. 1y i i- a at nd re TARTAR FORCE DEFEATED 3 YARMENIAN TROOPS New York.
