In New York the terror was Intensi

nobody knew what had happened or
where. Those In the rocking sky

been torn from under them. Those in A

above them had been toppled down.
Literally acres of glass were broken.
Eighteen windows wer smashed In
the Standard Oil Company building.
In Trinity Church a valuabl stained
glass window was atrewn in the

New York business men who stood
at their offlc windows looking out
over the North River saw a puff of
yellow dust shoot Into the air Just

There was an incipient panic here and
there throughout the city aa far north

telephone and fire alarm wires down

ensued. Fire engines were dashing
hither and thither in quest of non
