PULAJANES ATTACK A TOWN. Kill Five Policemen, Wound Five More and Capture Rest After Desperate Eight. Manila, June 20 A band of 300 Pula-janes, under Ceasario Pastor, attacked the town of Burauen, Island of Leyet, yesterday, June 19. They killed five policemen, wounded five and captured the remainder of the force except the lieutenant in command. Pastor, the Pulajanas leader, was killed during the encounter.

The attack occurred at an early hour In the morning. The police were caught unawares and their sentinel was rushed from his post. The bandits then entered the tribunal anVl a hand to hand fight took, place. Tho police fought desperately, but were overcome by superior numbers. The loss of the Pulajanes Is believed to have been great, but it cannot be estimated, as they carried off their dead and wounded after the fight.

The municipal records were taken from the tribunal, piled in the Btreet and burned. Tho destruction of these papers was one of the most serious phases of the raid, as they Included deeds, license receipts, etc. The safe containing the town funds was not disturbed. Tho bandits carried away tho arms of thepolico and a quantity of ammunition. A detachment of constabulary under Lieutenant Johnson immediately started in pursuit of the Puiajnncs.

THEIR RELATIVES WORRIED. Two Young Men and a Boy Have Gone From Their Homes Police Are Notified. Drinks That Scored Two Victims Lead to Closing of Steneck's Saloon. OWNER HELD WITHOUT BAIL Evidence That a Man Waa Made Blind for a Week by "Hock, and Eye." A 10-Gallon Keg Found.

On a charge of homicide made by Detective George W. RnyjiolJs, of the Ralph, avenue station house, Herman Stcnock, proprietor of a Baloon at 103 6umpter street, where, it Is alleged, the Manhattan cocktails served at the party of Mrs. Jessie Bosrjnet, at her home, 233 Chauncey Sunday night, followed by her death and that of her 18-year-old. cousin, Joseph HIrsh, yesterday, w'ers bought, was jield without ball by Magistrate Hlgginbothnm, in the Gates avenue court to-day for examination on June 23, The accused was also held on a charge of violating the liquor tax law. The latter complaint was made by 15-year-old John Cook, who alleges that ho, in company wih Martin Croak, went into Steneck's place on Sunday and ordered three Manhattan cocktails, for which he paid the sura of 25 cents.

Steneck made no statement in court. He was represented by Lawyer Martin. Agent Folk, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, wag in court to represent the society, the attention of which has been called to the matter. It was stated to-day that Miss Eva Fulford, one of the party, who was said to be quite ill yesterday, was out of danger. While it was asserted yesterday positively at the home of Mrs.

Bosquet that it was generally known that she was a married woman, it was admitted by a member of the family to-day that at Public School No. 125, Blake ana Rockaway ave-nuo3, whore she was a teacher until she was taken ill on Monday, she was known as Miss Jesaio P. Budd. She has been a public school teacher for about two years. She waa married two dnyB before her father, Frederick Budd, died, In May, 1901.

She became a bride about two weeks before she began her duties ai a public school teacher. it was her intention, it was stated to-day, to either resign her position as teacher at the close of this term or to mako known her marriage and ask to be permitted to remain In the poHition as teacher on the ground, as now permitted by the. Board of Education, that she had been teaching while married. "Irritant Poison, Probably Wood Alcohol." Dr. Charles Wuest, the coroner's physician, visited the Budd home about 9:30 o'clock, last night, and performed an autopsy on Mrs.

Bosquet, who died at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and Joseph, Hirsh, who died, shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He gave it as his opinion that the two had died from "toxic gastritis, caused by some irritant poison, probably wood alcohol." The stomachs of both the woman and the boy were dry, the latter much more so than the former, thickened, and con-Uiining little blood. After tho autopsy Dr. Wuest summoned Thomas Bosquet, husband of the deceased, and a motorman employed on the Brooklyn Rapid Transit road, in order to get information tor vestigaie the two dentns. From tho Budii hoijse Captain O'Reilly, Detectives Plant, Reynolds and ruriBn.

with Dr. Wuest, visited Steneck's place, which was closed and by policemen. Detectives Reynolds and Farrell went rummaging behind the bar, whilo Detective Plant, with a lighted candle, went into the cellar to look about. Rcvnolds soon produced a whisky bottiq from' behind the bar without label, whichl Dr. Wnr-st sampled.

He Bald the odofr milt- different Irom some other whis (e8 he find tested, and Captain O'Reilly directed that the bottle bo marked tor Identification. Officer Reynolds, a few minutes later, produced a sample of whitish fluid taken, from a newly painted unlabeled ten-gallon keg In a closet back of the bar and th)B rjr. Wuest' also sraelled. In his optn len he sin Id. the fluid was wood alcohol.

The l'i-vonx-old son of Steneck, who was In the barroom, said his father used this in the cigar lighter on the bar. Captain hud the keg with its contents, the bottle ana tne wnite pucner. which had already been taken from the Budd homo, removed to the station house and placed with sampler! of liquor taken from the saloon yesterday afternoon at the time of Steneck's arrest. To-dny he said he would have samples of the liquors taken to the health office to b2 analyzed. Natimer Keftised to Accept Bail.

Repeated efforts were made last night to get Steneck out on ball. Magistrate John Natimer was located by one of tho unfortunate man's friends and Induced to Ko to the Ralph avenue station house. it n-it, tie pht np, nfir- smaded to accept bail for the accused. After a few minutes' interview with Capt tain O'Reilly Magistrate Natimer declined to accept bail for stenecK ana aeparr.eu. Then several nersons visited the station house and asked that they be permitted to open the saloon.

They were also unsuccessful in their efforts. Captain Q'Reilly made short work of closing up Herman Steneck saloon at Ralph avenue and Sumpt- street when he beard that. Dr. uest. the coroners physician, had attributed the deaths oT Mrs.

Bosquet and Joseph Hirsh to wood alcohol. The captain put on his hat and coat and went out to meet Detective Farrell. Reynolds and Plant, who had been out mailing an iavesuKMuuu. r.uie. Ing the saloon with officers.

Ee had a short talk with Steneck and adriionished him to tell the truth regardless of what happened. The saloon man stoutly denied that ha had sold any liquor to boys on Sunday. A boy had come there with a pitcher, ho said, but he had turned him away without serving him cape, and when he crawled through the doer, the water was rising a foot a second behind him. The survivors fled along up the tunnel, and after a short time the water followed them, and flooded the tube all the way up to the First avenue shaft. They reached the surface on the elevators before the water reached the foot of the haft.

There was an unaccountable delay, first on the part of the officials in telling the police and coroners office about the accident, and second, on the part of the police in notifying Police Headquarters. Detective Naughton and Patrolman Mc-Gowan of the East Thirty-fifth street station learned of the disaster about 9 o'clock, about three hours after it happened, but no report reached Police- Headquarters until 11:30 o'clock. As to the extent of the damage to the tunnel, It appears to be impossible to make a definite estimate this afternoon. Assistant Superintendent Jupp displayed an optimistic view, and said that he thought tho water could be cleared out in twenty-four hours. But If the East River has an opening into the tube through the fissure tho blast created, the contractor is up against a bigger task than that, in'the opinion of some of the tunnel workers.

The four tunnels are being built by Pearson -of London. The pther three, A. and to the south of the flooded one, were not affected by the accident. Officials Did Not Call Ambulances for the The company's officials did not rail anv ambulances for their injured. Hall, Gratia ana others injured were attended by the company's doctor and went home.

One of the policemen, on the case, asked the cause of the delay In notify ing headquarters, remarked, with a sig nificant intonation in his voice: 'You know why; we can't talk about it." In the tunnel heading were two tiers of plank scaffolding, one laid on the floor, for the cars which carry out the debris, and another about six feet from the root, on which the workmen handled the new segments of the lining which they were placing in position. Most of the workmen behind the shield were on this upper tier, which enabled them the quicker to reach the emergency door in the air-lock. The tunnel Is twenty-two feet In Inside diameter, and the heading is now filled with water about fifteen feet deep. The water back of the air locks is only a few fdet deep, and further flow back of the air lock has been practically stopped. Powerful centrifugal pumps have been set to work, and the contractors say they hope to reduce the water within twenty-four hours to a point where the holes In the heading can bo plugged by bags of cement, held in position by Increased air pressure, and the work resumed.

Patrolmen Naughton and McGowan, of the East Thirty-fifth street station, made an effort this afternoon, clad in oilskins to reach the shield, through the flooded heading and get out the bodies of Krass and WllliamB. It was a dangerous task, and there did not appear to be muoh prospect of Immediate success. Tunnel Construction Company Cen sured by a Coroner's Jury. The coroner's jury which has been bear. Ing testlmy taken before Coroner Shrady ia Manhattan, concerning the many fatal accidents In the Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel at Thirty-third street, previous to the accident to-day, returned the following verdict at 2 o'clock this afternoon: The company Is censured for its method of handling the cr tunnel First, because the- men are not examined properly before going 3 work; second, because men are allowed speedily and freely pass the air lock Instead of taking fifteen or more minutes to do so, and third, because the air gauges are ot properly arranged." It is farther found by the Jury that some of tha workers have given tneir passes to frl-mUs.

and that the latt-r have worked without being examined at al'. The jury recommjiids that Board of Hcalta take measures which shall more strictly guard ihi health and life of tho workmen. PRINCE 0LAF WINSALLHEARTS 77 King Haakon's Sturdy Little Son Has Become Very Popular Precautions Against Anarchists. (Special Cable.) London Standard to Brooklyn Eagle. Trondjhera, June 20 The most popular personage in Norway at the present moment is the little Crown Prince Olaf, though he Is riot quite 3 years old.

Prince Olaf has fully won the hearts of his future subjects. His picture is in all the shop windows and commands a better sale even than that of his handsome soldierly father or his charming mother. He is indeed a deligntful little tenow, wnose appearance does credit to good Anglo-Saxon-Danish blood. With his little white socks pulled up over his sturdy, pink legs, and baby face with wide open, wise, blue eyes, he has quite fascinated the kindhearted Norse people. Hip behavior on public occasions Is irreproachable.

He look- about him with decorous gravity, displaying the keenest interest In the arrangements made, for his transport. During the recent tour of the royal party In the mountain district, it became necessary to harness three horses to the King's carriage, instead of the usual two. The tiny Prince showed much pleasure at this arrangement, and was still further gratified on arrival here yesterday at discovering that the royal carriage wis to be drawn by four horses. The drive of the new King and Queen trim the landing place to the Palace yes-' terday was taken at a rapid pace. This, it is understood, was lue to the desire of the police and authorities.

Trond-hjeni is not exaatly the place a prudent Anarchist should choose fo. scene of his ODerations. Still, with the Madrid i ovp th. juthnritlns uS I Tk. i are to be careful.

The strongest precautions aTe being taken. Beside a strong force of uniformed police, many thp town and at the railway stations and quays of the country, watching all persons arriving. For the same reason there will be no regular procession through the town oa Friday, 'Jut only a short drive from the Palace to the cathedral, where the coronation will take place. will win out In the state committee and convention, believing that if the radical candidate is the nominee they will escape district contests and elect their candidates for Congress, the Judiciary and the Legislature. McCarren'B relation toward the Hearst developments Is, in fact, like that ot Murphy In all respects except that he has lately been crowded a little by the Wall street Democrats who have believed that Murphy could speak for Brooklyn aa well as McCarren.

EARTHQUAKES IN LUZON. Series of Shocks Felt Yesterday and To-day in Manila and Elsewhere. Manila, June 20 A series of earthquakes occurred in northern Luzon yesterday and to-day. The most perceptible was felt in Manila at 8 o'clock last night. Severe shocks were experienced in the northern part of the island and in the Babuyanes and Batanes Islands and on Formosa.

No damage was reported. The shocks began at 7:25 o'clock last evening and continued at intervals through the night until 9:45 o'clock this morning. The Manila observatory reports that the earthquakes probably were more severe In the Babuyanes Islands and Formosa. WANT $404,000 DAMAGES.

His wife, through Judge Crennan sues for $100,000 for the loss of his life. Edward Kleist, a manager for a New. York shoe firm, and who Is still confined to his bed, asks $250,610 damages. Judge Crennan, when asked vhy such a large amount was demanded, said that It was because' Mr. KleiBt had lost his speech as the result of the wreck, that he is paralyzed on the right side, his left hip was fracturod, and tht fingers on his right hand were broken.

Charles Piersen, a Fifth avenue tailor, who was badly injured, wants $50,000, while his wife, Sarah, and daughter Grace, both of whom were on the same train, seek $2,000 damages each. CREEK BRIDGE SETTLES. Express Service Over Sea Beach Line to Coney Island Discontinued, The old drawbridge over Coney Island Creek and used by the Sea Beach line of express and local trains camo nearly going to the bottom of the creek this morning, and the result was that there was r.u Luna Park express train service nil day. The old bridge has seen lots of service, but has always been considered as good "3 the day It-was first called upon to carry the big fourteen and fifteen car trains on tho old Sea Beach service, across the creek. It was expected by many of those who patronized the express train service that something was due to happen soon, If the railroad company did not get busy and put in a new bridge The bridge crosses the creek immediately after the tracks straighten out from a curve, which has long been known as Dead Man's Curve.

Within tho past ton years a number of people have been killed In the immediate vicinity of the old bridge by the trolley cars that formerly were operated over the line, and by the trains that came after the passing of tho ordinary trolley cars. It was said by some ot those who claim to know, that tho bridge is at least forty years old, and has outlived its usefulness as a safe carrier. The railroad officials got to work shortly after the fact that the bridge had settled became known, and it was said at Coney Island that the bridge would be entirely repaired by 7 o'clock this evening, mcl the express service between Park How anil Luna Park will then be resumed. The people in Manhattan who patronize, the Sea Beach express service were not aware of the break for some time to-Jay, and down at Coney Island men and worn sn gathered at the terminal and waited in vain for a train. They were finally informed of the nature of the accident by local newsboys.

It was said that tho bridge will be repaired as well as is possible and that a new one will take Its place In the near future. HELD FOB. GILLEO'S DEATH. Conductor Says Barberla Was With the Man Who Was Killed. The examination of Frank Barberla.

August Belmont has lost control of the Democratic State Committee. He captured that body two weeks ago by securing the signatures of a majority of Its members to a call for a meeting in June to act upon the resignation of Chairman Cord Meyer. It developed immediately after the signatures were obtained and before the call was Issued that no Democratic lead ers of standing except Mr. Belmont bad indorsed the call or had knowledge of It. Neither Judge Parker, Judge Herrlck, William F.

Sheehan, John B. Stanchfleld, ex-Chairman Frank Campbell or any of the formerly active Democrats had been consulted. Friends of Thomas F. Ryan declared that advantage bad been taken of his absence in Europe to transfer control of the Democratic state organization from him to Mr. Belmont.

Friends of W. R. Hearst claimed that they had been deceived into the belief that the elimination of Cord Meyer as chairman would improve Mr. Hearst's chances for the Democratic nomination for Governor. Instead of all this, it appears that a reorganization in the Belmont interest bad been planned, with State Senator McCabe as chairman, and an executive committee opposed to HeaTst and friendly to corporations to conduct the state campaign.

These discoveries resulted in a prompt repudiation of the call by the friends cf Judge Parker and the friends of Mr. Hearst, and a statement made in Mr. Ryan's interest that he had not been and would not be a party to any plan which would contribute to the further demoralization of the Democratic organization. Several of the signers of ithe Belmont call, including John N. Carlisle, of have, by mail and telegraph, withdrawn their signatures and prohibited the use of their names.

Th re remain only a corporal's guard of committeemen in the Belmont movement, and some of those loft are opposed to Belmont's plana for the state campaign. Belmont's Defeat Irretrievable. Belmont's defeat Is overwhelming and Irretrievable. There is much quiet enjoyment of the situation- among tho friends of Judges Parker and Herrlck, and among the advocates of Francis Burton Harrison as Mr. Meyer's successor.

Mr. Harrison will not, however, permit his name to be used, again in connection Kith he office. His attitude has all along iwtn, like that" of. Judge Parker, that he wiSuld take no part" in scrimmages which would weaken tho state organization. Neither tho Harrison nor Parker men made any movement to defeat the Belmont plan.

That plan came to its end unaided. Hearst Controls the Committee. Hearst has become the beneficiary of the Belmont fluke, as the friends of Parker and Harrison have predicted. He now has more than thirty of tho fifty members of the committee, who say they will vote for the suppression of Belmont on any question of organization that comes up. A most significant fact In this relation, as showing the strength of Hearst in the rural counties, is that neither the Tammany nor Kings Counly members of the committee are counted in this estimate of the Hearst majority.

Information coming from Pnrker-Herriek rources Is to the effect that all except four of the up-State Senate districts will send committeemen to the meeting; who will not antagonize Hearst, nor consent to any action prejudicial to hi3 chances for the Democratic nomination. It is claimed that Hearst has a flghllng chance in two of the four doubtful districts. In the other two It is likely that Smith M. Weed and State Senator McCabe will control, and they will not be fnr Hearst. It is believed, unless Tammany and Kings County also abandon the Belmont interest and declare for Hearst.

Meeting Likely July 7 or 8. A new call Is now being drawn by supporters of Hearst on the committee, with whom are allied some of the committeemen who are not Hearst men, but who oppose Belmont. The date of the meeting will probably be set this evening for July 7 or 8. If the Hearst men have a candidate for chairman they have not disclosed his identity. They have considerable latitude of selection, as nearly all the up-sfate committeemen are on the Hearst band wagon.

Among the names most frequently mentioned around the Gilsey House this afternoon are Kennedy, Whorzig and Burgard of iirie. Bennett of Chautauqua and Carlisle of St. Lawrence. Whoever Is selected will be unqualifiedly in favor c-f the nomination of Hearst on the Dcmoculic ticket, If the present tern per of the committee does not Aaoc An attempt will probably be made to 'noose nn unconimit'f member, but the Hearst men aro confident that it will not succeed. In this they depend as much on the fear of Belmont domination, which now agitates the committee, as they do on strength of Hearst.

Murphy Flirting With Hearst. W. J. Conners, the Erie leader, wants to manage the His rival, E. Mack, is national committeeman.

Both are Hearst men, but Conners is for Hearst for President and Mack is for Bryan for that office. Conners strong with the Hearst element in western New York, and It is possible that he may loom up with the Erie state committeemen, Kennedy, Murzlg and Burgard, supporting hl.u for state committee honors. Conners was In the city Monday and saw a good many Tammany Democrats. He dined at the Waldorf with Charles F. Murphy.

This Incident set the guessers to work, and to-dny there are well defined rumors that Murphy has abandoned the Belmont scheme to maks McCabe chairman, which he indorsed a couple of weeks ago, and will throw the Tammany vote in the commmittee to Conners. Conners does not hesitate to prophesy that Murphy will take the Tammany delegation to the convention for Hearst. His confidence on that subject convinces many Democrats that Murphy will at least con sent to some action in the state commit- tee which will leave Hearst's nomination gn open qucstlon McCarren Watches the Game. No sound escapes Senator McCarren. He took no part, so far as is known, in the Belmont enterprise to reorganize the State committee.

It is said on very good authoriiy that Belmont consulted nobody but Murphy about calling the -committee together. Tho Senator's friends say he has very good reason to be thankful, and that when the State committee meets, he may have a good chance to emphasize the importance of the Brooklyn organization. McCarrea's district leaders, with three or four exceptions, are hoping thai Hearst Hedden Girl's Charges Are Investigated With Apparent Thoroughness. R. W.

KATHAN IS CALED ALSO, Mrs. Tietjen, Alleged to Have Taken Girl to Improper Places, Will Likewise Testify. The Kings County Grand Jury began this morning an Investigation into the official conduct of City Magistrate Henry J. Furlong. The investigation is directed particularly into Furlong's connection with the scandalous case of Mary Hedden, the eighteen-year old wayward girl.

Furlong himself was called before the Grand Jury to-day to explain the charge of having sent the girl to a Raines law hotel to be reformed and of later Bending her to live in a home where a friend of his, who had left his wife, was living with another woman. R. W. Kathan, the lawyer and intimate associate of Magistrate Furlong, was called before the Jury. Kathan, who is called "the attorney general of tho Gates avenue court," enjoys a practical monopoly of the cases in Furlong's court and wins a mighty good percentage of the cases he tries before his friend Furlong.

Ida M. Tietjen, probationary officer of Furlong's court, and the woman he used to supplant Miss Anne Virginia Roome, despite the protest of many Brooklyn was another witness summoned by tho Grand Jury. Mrs. Tietjen, who is the wife of one of Furlong's political workers, is the woman who. while In official charge ot the morals of Mary Hedden, conducted the young woman to the house at 200 Arlington avenue, occcupled by Gussle Heyman and by Frank Grossbard, both friends of Furlong.

Frank Grossbard, who left his wife and went to live in the house with the Heyman woman, who was engaged in a theatrical venture with him, wns another witness before the Grand Jury. Gross bard Is the man ho was charged by Mary Hedden with repeated assaults upon her while she lived In the house to which she had been sent by Furlong and taken by Mrs. Tietjen. In addition to these witnesses. Mary Hedden and perhaps thirty others appeared to testify before the Grand Jury to-day.

Every witness who could throw any light on the case was summoned. It was ascertained that the Investigation was of a general nature and was designed to determine tho exact truth In the Had- den scandal. After the Hedden girl had been acquitted almost immediately by the jury that heard the charges brought by Furlong's associates, It was said that Furlong, Kathan and Mrs. Tietjen would have to explain things. It was suggested to-day that the Grandi Jury might not be tho Investigation with a view to criminal Indictments, but that he probable motive was to hr.nd up a presentment as to Its' findings concerning tile official conduct of Furlong and his fitness to hold his high office.

Such a presentment would be of great assistance to the grievance committee of the Bar Association in pressing charges amaliiBt Furlong, provided, of course, (hatha presentment cavo eredenco to the charges that have been made. It Is understood that there will be another Investigation of Furlong as soon as this Is finished. Inspecior Cross has a case that he believes will interest the Grand Jury, and It, is paid that he will take it before the Jurors In a day or so. The case Inspector Cross wants the Grand Jury to take up Is that of Martin Mulroy, arrested on a charge of running a gambling place, and turned loose by Furlong after Furlong's friend Kathan appeared as counsel for Mulroy. The police say there wa3 never a clearer case against any man.

This morning Bernard Suydam, manager of the Citizens Water Company, of Elm-hurst, of which Cord Meyer is president, was served with a notice to appear at the office of Attorney General Mayer, 27 Will-lam street, Manhattan, on Friday next at 3 P.M., and show cause why the company's charter should not be annuled. The petitioner in the matter is Louis A.

Richter, who is a member of the Allied Civics Association of Queens Borough. He Is represented by Hlllqultt Hlllcjuitt, of 320 Broadway, Manhattan. It is charged in the papers that the company has violated the condiltons of Its charter and should be compelled to loe It. Yesterday a number or tappings on Wyckoff avenue. In the Ridgewood section, were uncovered and tests made.

These tests, it is claimed, showed that the Citizens Company pipe, when tapped, would throw a vertical stream seven feet, while the city's pipes would throw one twenty feet. This, it Is claimed, backs up tne city's contention that the Citizens Company has been taking water from the city mains. The supply delivered to houses In Ridgewood Is admitted to be somewhat better than before, but the improvement Is said to be slight. FINE PEABL IN A CLAM. (Special to the Eagle.) Huntington, L.

It rose so high that the elevators in the shaft were submerged when they were lowered to the bottom. Explorations of the tunnel after the disaster had to be made with a boat. It seems as if the work in this tunnel, designated the most northerly of the four, has been set back for a long time.

The fissure Is open to the river, and though the officials say that pumns will be set to work quickly, it looks now as If they would have to pump with the East River flowing In as fast as they pump It out. When the water burst into the heading and the compressed air, forty pounds to the square inch, fought against it, the pressure sent a geyser of water fifty feet above the river surface, bespattering the Long Island ferry house. The tunnel is 110 feet below the river surface. Foreman McGibbon and fifteen men were working in the Tunnel heading when the accident happened. Krass and Williams were outside the shield.

A blast had Just previously been set off in the rock against which the shield was being forced and these two had gone through the small hold in the shield made for te purpose to shovel out thcloosened rock. Their companions behind the shields were engaged In fitting another segment of the iron walls of the tunnel into place. This segment was close behind the- shield, which had been forced forward with the hydraulic jacks, a short time before. Blast Opened a Ffssure cf Bock Up Through Bottom of Eiver. The last blast had evidently opened a fissure, leading from the strata of rock through which tho tunnel was being driven, up to the river bottom several feet above the top of the tube.

There overlays the tunnel at this point, about 250 feet out from the river edge, a mass of rock, probably much fissured, and a layer of mud and quicksand. When the fissure was opened the mud and silt and quicksand, with the East River back of It, rushed Into the cavity joutside of the cutting shield. Water had been leaking through the shattered rock in upon Krass and Williams before, which was nothing unusual, and the heavy air pressure appeared to be keeping ir. back from a dangerous point. But suddenly the water and mud rushed into the cavity in overwhelming volume.

Krass and Williams were caught before they, could move to reach the small hole in the shield, and drowned. The water rusSied through the hole, and, at the same tln'e, more came in through the exposed face of the rock, over which the workmen had been placing the new segments of the tunnel. The workmen back of the shield could do nothing to save Krass and Williams. They had only a few seconds to save their own lives. They crowded back to the air lock, and went through the emergency coor, which they could quickly open, the regular end larger door, below, requiring more time.

Union engineers employed on the Blackwell's Island Bridge have gone on strike out of sympathy for the house-smiths, who stepped last winter, when their demands for increased wages were not met by the Pennsylvania Steel Com pany. About six weeks ago work cn tho bridge was resumed on the open fihop basis and a full frrce of housesmlths have been engaged there right along.

Tho Pennsylvania Steel Com-. pany ia not a member of tho Building Trades Employers Association, so that the strike of the engineers is not a violation of the agreement.
