Seventy-eight Persons Are Hurled Into Subway Tunnel Un

New York, Sept. 22 Swallowed up in

Applied, six persons aboard a crowded
,-mrfnee car early today lost their lives
and upwards of two hundred passengers
or pedestriaus wero Injured.
Collapse of the street followed a
dynamite blast in the subway.
.Seventy-eight persons were jammed
into the surface car, which was bearing
tfipm to their places of employment."
.Suddenly,, the street beneath disap
peared for almost two blocks between
Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth streets.
Great timbers supporting the street
flooring of the subway snapped like
tooth picks under the force of the blast,
while the street cur, the street and its
traffic sank slowly out of sight.
Car Telescoped.
The car telescoped like paper under
Mie weight of timbers and wreckage. Its
passengers were hauled out through
windows, many of them crushed by the
heavy debris.
Seventh avenue at 8 o'clock is a busy
teeming path of humanity. Hundreds
of shop girls en route to their work,
hurled into the pit clambered out
screaming with terror. For a few min
utes the canyon was filled with hysteri
cal women and men and with flying
splinters and dust clouds.
Police, firemen and reserves from sta
tions south of Fifty-ninth street were
rushed to the scone where they were
forced to club back the crowds gaping
in horror over the edge of the abyss.
While early morning crowds jammed
the streets near this cave-in, another
section of the street above the sub
way south of Twenty-third street caved
slightly also. Police drew their lines
tight and drove back the crowds for
foar the whole street would fall in,
Mnd tnke with it a greater number of
victims than the first.
Subway Construction.
The subway was under construction
ind had not yet been put into opera
tion. The cause of ue cave-in, no one
could say at first though it was ns
mimed that the honeycombed galleries
beneath the street were not properly
shored up.
One of the incidents of the enve-in
was the engulfing of a. heavy brewery
truck, carrying a load of barrels and
casks.
Mostly Women In Car.
Most of the passengers on the surface
oar which sank were women. Debris
from both sides poured in on top of it
rum almost hid it. from sight. Per
sons in the neighborhood insisted thnt
they heard a muffled explosion before
the crash, but this was not confirmed.
Fassengers screamed and scrambled
for the exits as the car disappeared in a
big cloud of ddst. Subway timbers
partly broke the fall but as the last few
feet of the street crumpled up, it went
with a crash, that could be heard for
blocks.
Hundreds of people from the neigh
borhood rushed to the scene and it was
considered possible that some of these
may have tumbled into the pit and had
been obscured by the dust cloud. No
workmen were known to be in the sub
way at the time, however.
Enormous crowds headed down to
work collected in the surrounding
streets. Police wero forced to throw
mi harriers to keep them away from the
"lee of the pit. i

Brugmnn, 22. Another was a woman
of 65 dressed in black, who bad been
crushed. The third was apparenWy a
subway laborer on his way to work, and
the fourth an Italian, evidently one of
the passengers.
Water Majn Breaks.
To add to the horror of the situation,
a water main broke, forming a pond at
one end of the trench, but emergency
men rushed there and prevented u
threatened flood.
Firemen from stations Jfor miles
around were on tho scene within a few
minutes. They lowered ladders along
the steep sides of the hole and carried
up a number of unconscious women.
They worked desperately too, with shov
els, and succeeded in digging out several
persons half buried in .the dirt and
debris.
Eev. M. P. McMnhon said he believed
at least 100 persons had been sent to
hospitals. Many were only slightly in
jured, but two died as the priest was
administering the last sac i anient a.
Twenty-five were at St. Vincent's
hospital alone.
Speculation In Stocks .(
Worries Big Financiers
(Copyright 1015 ,by the New York
- Evening Pest.)
New York, Sept. 22.-The condition
of things in connection with industrial
and "war" stocks reached the stage
today where serious banking institu
tions began to consider the matter
with some concern. General Motors,
which speculators have made the pres
ent bellwether, opened with a trifling
overnight advance of 22 points, then
dropped eight points on three sales.
Tho Wostinghouse company announc
ed a moderate increase in its quarter
ly dividend and gave sump particu
lars of orders for war material placed
with that concern; , forthwith, the
Westinghouse shares took possession
of the exchnnge.
This does not mean that nil these
stocks which, among them, raised the
total trading to more than $1,000,000
shares continued their advice. Most
of the stocks rose sharply early in the
day and then declined from their high
marks later, on heavy realizing sales.
The market as a whole was strong,
however, during most of the day, and
even railway shares inclined to be
higher. But the whole aspect was un
natural and. unwholesome, presenting
signs which the street habitually as-
cepts ns a warning to be caretul.

LETTERS
OF OTHERS
ed that Von Bernstorff bad given
Archibald a letter in the nature of an
ir't reduction.
Tins letter, stating that Archibald
wished to return to "Germany and
Austria, after having promoted our in
terests crit here i:i such a zealous and
successful manner" was regarded by
officials ns evidence of the correspond
ent s violation of neutrality.
Whether he wns employed in this
"zealous" endeavor by Austria and
Germany is being investigated.
Officials indicnted thnt they do not
intend to take any further action
against Diimlin becnuse he called the
president "self-willed. His impend
ing departure for Austria, at the gov
ernment's request will satisfy t;ie ad
ministration, without a resort to any
other action.
Until all the Archibald documents
nro received, the poveriiinent, however,
will not net against any one, Me state
department announced toilsy.
It wns stated thnt a safe conduct Is
being arranged for Mine. Dumbs and
her maid at the request of the embassy.
No conduct, however, has bfen arranged
for Dumbs, and until Austria acts of
ficajlly on America's request for bis
recall, It would not be regnrded as prop
er diplomatic etiquette to make sucb
arrangements for him.
Some of the Letters.

Prompt Action of Tuscania
Saved Greek Steamer
Athinai
New York, Sept. 22. Only the quick
arrival of the" liner Tuscnnin, and tho
efficiency of her firo fighting miliar
atus, probably prevented tho recent firo
aboard tho Greek steamer Athinai in
mid-ocean from resulting in nnother
great, ocean tragedy
Tho Tuscaniu put into port here to
day with 400 pussengers, which bIio
saved from what seemed certain death.
Both tho Tuscania and Athinai cap-
tains today declared the Greek ship was
tho victim or an incendiary, every
body aboard, however, was rescued,
though ono second cIiihs passengor died
of heart disease induced by excitement.
Officers and pnssengers related to
day a thrilling story of the blaze at

tho hold, protected by a firo helmet.
From this place ho telephoned that tho
bulkheads might cnllnpBO at any mo

A riot was imminent as men and wo
men fought their way tn the rails, but
the crew battlod tlie disturbers, and
forced them into submission until wo

to the boats and headed for the Tus
cania. Three passengers and somo women en

Meantime, German newspapers print

quarters believe that Bulgaria would

Premier Radoslnvoff, addressing th

cini nut "remain unmoved in tne pres
