So many men, women and children became hysterleal that Is was necessary for the police to remove them to other parts of the island and keep them In the Red Lion Inn, on the Boston Post Road between Larchmont and Mamaroneck, diners sat at a dozen others were electrocuted by fallen high power feed wires, The catastrophe was made worse by the cutting off of ecmmunication when‘ telephone wires ‘vere broken, Most of those who were killed and injured were far from thelr homes. RAILROADS WASHED OUT AND TRAINS STALLED, Up-State there are reports of rail- roads washed out; highways blocked by fallen tree. and gutted by torrente. The City of Oneida was five feet under water for an hour, Syracuse reports a Joss of $1,000,000, Scores of the 3,000 trees recently planted in Central Park were uprooted, Seven persons were killed and thirty- »- five injured when a Ferris wheel at Clason Po.nt Park in the Bronx was torn apart and blown into Long Island Sound, A man was killed by a live wire in Newark, A t'ee was blown on the brick chimney of Red Lion Inn on the Boston Post Road, killing a mother and daughter at a table, Motor cars were abandoned in many parts of the metropolitan district by their owners in seeking safety. One woman left her car near Hackensack only to be killed by a falling tree, und a similar fate overtook a man near Piping Rock, L. 1. A condemned tree + dn Mount Vernon fell on a woman and child, killing both. These aro but o few of the accidents, hundreds of them of a minor nature. The storm swept up from Pennsyl- » vania through New Jersey and Now York, the wind at times having « vel- ocity of 88 miles an hour, Before ) passing out to sea it split into three » did the most damage, the first being ‘mild, Many who saw the approach of the alternoon storm, which lasted only about fifteen minutes, sald it resem~ bled a Kansas “twister.” Valentine Fendrich, chief of the “Fire Alarm Telegraph Bureau, sent out every man in his department to repair storm damage, Fifteen lines were broken in Brooklyn, ten in the Bronx and five in Queens. Compara- “tively little damage was done in Man- ** hattan, where the wires are all under- ground Mr. Pendrich said that the overhead wire system in other boroughs were at the mercy of a storm such as that of yesterday and he meant to use the » experience to emphasize his recom- mendation that the wires in Brooklyn, | Queens, Bronx and Richmond be put ya ground as rapidly as possible. © Credit for reducing’ the total of Pceanitics was given by the police to- to the manugement of the City Island Bathing House. Attaches see- the black clouds approaching valled in the hundreds of bathers from “the water and when the first flerce gust of wind broke all the pleasure. seekers were safely under shelter. Among the 20,000 holiday makers Wbout the island were the regular “summer colony, week-end campers band many visitors. The storm do- “mcended suddenly at 6.45. Bathers ‘and others on the beach escaped ceaaily, but few of the boats could ‘reach shore. Just how many persons were picked up from the water by ‘Aife-savers and members of nearby “boat clubs never will be known. MOST OF THE VICTIMS IN SKIFFS ‘i AND CANOES. The known casualties were mostly oft Execution Light, six miles east of City Island; Rat Island, three miles east, and an island a mile north, in waters known as fishing grounds. Most of the overturned boats were skiffs and canoes, many containing women and children. Those who aided in keeping down fatalities after the first blast were crews of the two sta- fions of the United States Volunteer Life Saving Corps on City Island and Hunter's Island, and the members of the City Island, Metropolitan, Stuy- vesant, Morrisania and Oak Point yacht and boat clubs. In many cases girls and young men were dragged from the water by the experienced water men ‘Just as they were about to succumb. The police boat John F’. Hylan and other boats of the Marine Division played powerful searchlights on the water all night, but early to-day no further bodies had been recovered, The police were waiting for the tide to turn when !t was expected other @oties would be washed ashore, but ‘they continued grappling. City Island at 4 A. M, was still In darkness and the telephone wires were still down, not even the Fire Depart- ment there having a connection. ‘ THE DEAD.

They congratulated them- selves on reaching a safe haven be- for the squall broke. under observation. Relatives of the missing were equally affected, The wind, which struck Pelham Ray at 6.45 and blew until 6 o'clock with the fury of a hurricane, left in its wake a scone of desolation, ‘Trees were uprooted, bulldings were un- roofed, windows were shattered and telephone and electric light wires were blown down. This resulted in the severing of all communication with the island. Asa consequence, news of the tragédy did not become generally known outside until three hours after tts occurrence. The island police were handicapped jas they could not summon ambulanc or ald except by crossing the bridge leading to the mainland by motor, Lieut, Reilly went over about 9 o'clock and flashed word to Police Headquarters, In tho meantime yacht clubs in the vicinity and crews of two life saving stations started the work of rescue in motor boats. They were joined when darkness fell by the police boat John F. Mylan, which cruised about, throwing {ts search- lights over the waters, Scores of amateur fishermen, men, women and children, were resoued, clinging to (he keels of thetr over— turned boats. Others had been car- tied close enough in to wade ashore, Muny of the boats were without oc- cupants. “There is no way of knowing just how many were drowned until several days have elapsed,” sald Lieut. Reilly. “Many of the people who come here on Sundays to swim or sat] are from *‘auhattan, Brooklyn and New Jer sey towns..We shall have to wait un- At a table near the big fireplace were Abraham Wrana of No, 95 India Street, Brooklyn, his wife and their daughter, Rosalind, seven years old. Wrana rose and hurried out to the garage to fasten down the storm curtains on his car. . Near the Wrana table C. J, Watson of New Haven, Conn., sat at another with his little boy, six years old. This child was fascinated by the heavy swaying of a big ash tree near the window. “Look, daddy! Look at that tree he excitedly told his father, None tn the dining room saw or guessed what happened the next mo- ment. The wind, that grew in strength, blew the big tree down. [t fell against the brick chimney of Red Lion Inn, The chimney, tons of brick and mortar, crumbled into an avalanche which dropped on tho light Umbers and sheathing of the dining room roof. It went through as If the roof were paper. And nearly all of the mass descended upon Mrs. Wrana and her Kittle girl. Both were killed. Not a word of warning heralded this disaster except the shout of the Uttle Watson boy, “The tree is falling. Look out, dad!’ he cried and dived under the table, His father threw himself out- spread on the table to protect his son, Only the edge of the debris grazed him and slightly cut his hands and scalp, His son esoaped unhurt. Wrana dashed back from his car, accompanied by BE. M. Barnett of No. 362 Amsterdam Avenue. A great heap of bricks covered the place where Wrana had left his wife and Httle girl. He and Barnett dug at the mound and unearthed the two. Mrs. Wrana was dead, killed in- stantly by the mass which had crushed her head and chest. The child still breathed, Some one with a swift motor car picked up Wrane and the child, racing with them to the office of Dr. Philip Ernest, the nearest physician, in Larchmont Vil- 1 with the Intention of coming here to spend the day." ALL NIGHT HUNT -FOR BODIES OF VICTIM One of a party on a yacht owned by Tom Conrad, a song writer, tol.! last night of the rescue of three men from @ swamped motor boat op the Sound, The hall was so thick icomed a blinding white blanket, he sald, and the yacht passed the boat before the men were seen, They wert back and pulled them out of the water. The waters of the Sound were dotted with overturned boats, hats and articles of clothing, he said, for a distance of several miles. At the Stuyvesant Yacht Club on City Island members saw that a catastrophe had happened. They jumped into boats and joined the rescue work. , All night hundreds df persons, knowing that members of their fami- lies had gone to City Island for the day, went there by automobile or in any other way possible. They lined the street in front of the police sta- tion asking information of relatives and friends, and when there po information passed down to the foot of the line to ask again later. The search by the police caused additional excitement among the crowds. Patrolmen laden with hats, pocketbooks, parts of women's and men's clothing, shoes and stockings came to the police station. The pile grew larger every minute and the work of tabulating the articles was handicapped by the fact that the desk Lieutenants and Sergeants pressed into service had to work by the light of candles, oi) lamps and lanterns. Mrs, Petgold and Agnes Kohler, three years old, two of the identified dead, were in the rowboat with six other persons who were rescued, T' etorm caught this party in Pelham Bay. The boat overturned almost im- mediately and all were thrown into the water, age. Rosalind Wrana died as the sur- geon examined her. No one else was hurt in the dining room. The lacerations received by Watson were trifling. oo DYNAMITE TRAIN IN MEXICO; KILL 11 Bandits I.oot Wreck of 60,- 000 Gold Pesos—Escape to the Mountains.

Asserting that labor was confronted by foes, Mr. Gompers added that “we do not becloud our minds now and fool ourselves into any fancled secur- ity." Discussing the Disarmament Con- ference, Mr. Gompers said/ that not much had been accomplished with so much that neeas to be done, but he added that a beginning had been made toward ending war.

Congrese, ‘'by this d cision, must keep its hands off when the health and life and well being i the Nation's children are concerned, the report asserted, adding that the “Supreme Court of to-day is far more legalistic and less humane in its atti- tude and temperament than was the Supreme Court of 1918."" The council described its renewal of non-partisan political campaign or- ganizing in advance of the fall elec- tions. The campaign effort will be to focus votes behind a programme of “opposition to compulsory labor law,"" and “opposition to injunctions and contempt proceedings as substitute for trial by jury,” the council said. President Harding was accused of having contemplated system of in- dustrial laws similar to those which prevail in Kansas’’ when in his mes- sage to Congress he declared that ‘in the case of labor organizations we might well apply similar and equally well-defined principles of regulation and supervision, as he had just pre viously recommended for corpora tlons) in order to conserve the pub- lic’s interests as affected by their op erations."” “It is hardly believed possible,” the reports adds, “that the President !m- plicd that the present Administration intends to further a policy which will deny America’s workers the right to cease working collectively and to de- termine for themselves the conditions under which they will give service. Yet the language used leaves little room for a different conclusion.” RAIL LABOR BOARD DEALT WITH IN REPORT. “Decisions of the Railroad Labor Foard have given satisfaction neither to the workers or the management,” the report remarked. “They have tendei toward a more general de moralization of morale of mechanical forces. Esch-Cummins law, through the board, has practically destroyed the concept of voluntary agreements between employers and workers and jubject of compensation for serv- become a constant source of Mitigation and trritation.
