Y. CARS DELAYED WHEN STORM SWEEPS CITY Thousands Homeward Bound Get SoakingpFlatbush Fire Does $1,000 Damage. Accompanied by an unusually heavy amount of lightning, one of the severest electrical storms of the summer broke over Brooklyn yesterday afternoon, Inundating streets, completely tying up surface car service in, many points and causing- much discomfiture generally. The lightning, as far as the police were alile to determine at a late i hour last night, was responsible for sccveral ac cidents, among which was $1,000 damage caused to a residence in Fort Ham ilton and cornices torn from two build ings where bolts struck. One of the buildings was a public school.

The storm broke out of what was ap parently a clear sky. While its dura tion was brief, Its precipitation was remarkable for such a relatively short storm. The rain came down In tor rents which suggested a cloudburst. The sewers failed dismally In various sections to carry off the rain, and in several places backed up into the streets, causing miniature lakes to rap idly take form. Conditions would have been much worse had the usual work-day home rush been in but as It was many persons homeward bound had to make their way from stranded trolley cars through deep water.

The ele vated lines, with the exception of the Brighton Beach line, and the subways reported that the storm had caused little damage. On the Brighton line the rain soon swamped the cut in the vlcfnity of Newkirk ave. and washed away a considerable quantity of the ashes forming the roadbed-. The storm did not last long enough to un dermine the tracks. A report that several persons were injured brought out the reserves of the Fort Hamilton police station when lightning struck the two-story frame dwelling at 114 Parrott in the Fort Hamilton section- The building Is owned by Mrs.

Louise Dunn, who occupies the top door. The bolt struck the chimney and set fire to the roof. A patrolman turned In a fire alarm. The blaze was extinguished after caus ing $1,000 damage. A bolt struck the roof of the four- story apartment house at 2107 Bever ly tearing a strip of tne metal cornice away, and causing a near- DEATHS HELLAWELL Suddenly, dn Aug.

Services at 359 Macon Brooklyn, notice 'of For Taking Wholesale coal dealers in New York City yesterday laid the blame for high prices squarely at the doors of some producers who are "taking unconscionable profits," In a statement Issued by Charles S. Allen, secretary of the Wholesale Coal Trade Association of New York City.

Stories that the Tidewater Coal Exchange operated by the wholesalers is being used for speculative purposes are said by some wholesalers, according to Mr. Allen, to be a "smoke screen," raised to divert attention from the main cause for high prices, the unprincipled producer. "Attempts are being made to discredit the work of the exchange by interests adversely affected by its panic among the twelve families living in the building. Rain filled the sewers In the locality of Glenwood rd. and E.

the rain In 10 minutes had created a flood which effectually blocked the Wilson ave. cars. The Flatbush ave. line was halted for about 20 minutes by a flood at Flatbush ave. and Clarendon rd.

The heaviest tieup was experienced iby the Metropolitan ave. line, which was completely halted for nearly an hour at Cooper where the rain formed a lake in a depression in the GOT BUMPS INSTEAD OF BLACK HAIR, SAYS MRS. BIANCO, SUING Eyes Closed and Neck Glands Swelled, She Avers, Asking $25,000 for "Inconvenience." When she sought to regain the lus ter of former years she received but bumps upon her scalp; when she sought the deep- raven hue restored to her graying hair she received but an itch, which spread from her head to her neck, caused her eyes to close and the glands of the neck to swell and pain, says Mrs. Gertrude Blanco, a woman of many occupations, of 316 W. 122d a suit filed yesterday against John Andre of 57 W.

39th st. Manhattan. Mrs. Bianco would have Andre, as the alleged perpetrator of the bumps and swellings and annoying itches, pay her $25,000 for the inconvenience and pain caused her. Mrs.

Blanco's husband wants $5,000., Mrs. Bianco sets forth that Andre assured her he was the inventor of a system by which her graying hair would regain Its natural color and luster within several hours. He failed to mention the bumps and itches and swollen glands which subsequently were visited upon her, and which she says prevented her from attending to her duties as a housewife, helpmate at her husband's photograph shop, and as a professional entertainer.

I 3 in of ill FREIGHT "Brooklyn- Dealers Taking No Chances," Says Woolley-Rate Raise, 80 to 96 Cents a Ton That the increase of a dollar a ton on coal, following the increased frcigh rates allowed the railroads by th Interstate Commerce Commission, will be justified is indicated in a statement by Commissioner Robert W. W'oolley of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion yesterday. Commissioner Woolley, quoting fig ures for anthfacite coal only and fo transportation from the principal pro ducing points tn Pennsylvania to the various docks In Brooklyn, gives the following data: IN CENTS PER TON (2,240 LBS).

Prepared Smaller alei. Pea. alses. rri-wni raie $2. Jnereaed 40 percent 3.3 3.0S Amount increased 96 The dealer is therefore charging the consumer an increase of $1 on the basis of a freight increase to him of between 80 cents and 98 cents.

Tho prepared sizes" and the pea coal are those most largely used by the general consumer. 'From this you will see." OnmmU. sioner Woolley says, "the Brooklyn coal dealer is taking no chances, though he is by no means as greedy as in 1902, following the anthracite strike, when 10 cents additional per ion paia to me miners Was reflected to the consumer to the tune of 50 cents per ton. In that Instance th? coal operator raised the price to the dealer 2b cents and the dealer In turn got 2d cents more from the consumer. POLES APPEAL TO AMERICANS TO AID POLAND FROM REDS Will Start Series of Mass Meet ings Over United States-To Visit President Wilson.

Plans are being perfected by the Poles of America for a series of demonstrations throughout the coun- ry, addressed to those of Polish birth or extraction, appealing to the United Mates to go to the aid of Poland in ihe struggles against Bolshevist Rus sia. The movement was started yes terday in the Hotel McAlpln, when a delegation of nearly 100 prominent members of the Polish race met to consider the plans for the demon strations. At the same time a delegation of similar strength was meeting in Chicago. Those in New York were from New York, New Jersey, Maryland, uelaware, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island und Massachusetts. Those who met In Chicago were from Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota.

The conference will continue all day to day. i The day for the mass demonstra tions has been filed for Sunday, August IS. Mass meetings will be held in from 75 to 100 principal cities on that day and each will name a delegation to go to Washington to make an appeal to President Wilson and to the nominees of the Democratic and Re publican parties at their several resi dences. The meetting was presided over by Steven de Csesznak, who said, in part, in calling it to order: "It is but right and Just that we Americans appeal to our fellow citi zens to aid Poland, not only because Poland owes its very life to the ideals of this country but because Poland in the moment of her restoration is stricken by a foe which threatens the stability of the whole world. Her crops, which were ready for harvest, and her great industries, which arc ugain producing, are paralyzed.

The reciprocal commercial relations which hud been inaugurated with this coun try are halted. Hundreds of millions of dollars which investment Interest this country and throughout the rest of the world were prepared to spend in Poland are necessarily being held until the fate of the country is determined." MARY DE VERE DIES; NOTED AS WRITER Miss 2fary Ainge De Vere, well-nown to an earlier generation or Rrooklynites as a writer and poet, par ticularly as a writer of humorous poems, died Friday after a lingering ill ness at her home, 70 Suydam st. She was in her 70th year. Perhaps the best known of her works was a collection of poems published under the title of "Life's Mirror." At an early age she attracted atten tion to her literary ability, for she was but years old when she commenced writing verse. Her father, the late Thomas Ainge De Vere, was the editor and proprietor of the first Williamsburg daily paper, the Morning Post, published over X0 years ago.

Hridges was her nom de plume. Another collection of her poems was "Tho Open Book." All her life she wrote prose and many gifts from her pen found their way in the dally papers. She belonged to" that circle of wrltersv that comprised Ed mund Stedman and others of his time, they being her most intimate friends. She inherited some of the traits of her father, who was well known as an agl tntor of the Irish cause during his life time, having at one time been associate editor of the Irish World. All her lifetime Miss De Vere Uvea Hruoklyn.

She is survived by her sister. Ada De Vere, who resided witn her. She was very fond of music, a great lover of rending and possessed quic perception of the worth of her contemporaries. Her poem, "The Quiet House," is regarded as one of her best. The death of the author makes It of timely Interest.

It follows: My hnupe fa quiet now, so ttlll, All day I hear the ticking clock. The hour'n are numbered, clear and shrill, OutHlde the robins chirp and trill, My house Is quiet now so atlll. rtut silence breaks my heart. I wait, And waiting, yearn for call or knock. hear the creaking of the gate.

And fnotfttepa coming Boon or late. Tho silence breaks my heart I wait. My house nd home are very atlll. I watch the sunshine and the rain, The years go on Perhaps death will l.lf('H broken promise fulfill. My house, niy home, my heart, are sit til.

The funeral will take place from her residence this morning, with interment In Mount Olivet Cemetery. IIIVVKH TO POSTM.ISTUK. A shore dinner was held last Wednesday ere. rdiiir nl Coney Island, at which I'oslTimMcr Wnlter 0. Ilurton was the guest of iiie-nloury employees of the pontnfflce, yi'n.

DEMOLISH STORES TO SAVE KILLING OF UNKNOWN MOTORISTS Seven Are Injured When Truck and Pleasure Car Crash in Williamsburg. To avade ramming a touring car and killing Its occupants, Leslie Sell gren, the driver of a heavy motor truck, carrying a swinging load of lumber, crashed the machine halfway into a cigar store at 3d ave.

and 14th st. last evening, ripping out the front of the place. It then swung around with Its stern and knocked the front completely off an adjoining barber shop. No one was hurt. John McKenna, who has a yard at 78 Beard who owns the truck, said Leslie Sellgren, who lives at 220 49th was regarded as "one of the most careful ancj conscientious drivers in the world." He was coming down the hill on' 14th and was Just about to cross 8d when a motorcar crossed his path.

Knowing that the occupants of the other car had no chance for their lives in the event of a collision, Sell gren tried hard to avoid it by making a sharp turn. The big truck ran up on tne sidewalk, mowing down a lamp post and a wooden Dole. Right into the cigar and stationery store of Max Sadowsky, at 550 3d the truck went, with a mighty crash, it tore down the front window and the window seat, knocking toys, writing paper, choice cigars and baseball bats in all directions 'and splintering the big plate glass window into a million bits. It rolled into the store for a distance of three or four feet, ana ate Us way partly through a show case. The impact made the rear end of tne truck swing around and the tail cut down a barber pole and knocked off the plate glass front of Tony Ru- gero barber shop next door.

Sev eral customers whose chins were be ing scraped in Tony's Jumped for their lives and Sadowsky and two customers reached the back wall of the store at one Jump. While all this was going on. Sell gren, the chauffeur, stuck dutifully to his post, tugging at the brakes with might and main. And, though debris of the. wreckage flew around him like shrapnel, Sellgren got away without a scratch.

The police decided Sellgren was not to blame. They tried without suc cess to find the motorists who crossed his path and whose lives were saved at the expense of the two stores. Seven Hurt in Crash. In a collision between a motorcar and a commercial truck at Norman ave. and Leonard st, late yesterday afternoon, seven persons were slightly injured.

They were Jesse Powers, 30; his wife, Elsie, 28; Oscar Evald, 30; his wife, Helene, 28, and their two children, Patricia, 9 months old, and Helene, 3 years, and Pearl Gerler, aged 14 years. All of the Injured live at 461 Third Astoria. They suf fered cuts and bruises on the head, face and hands, and, besides, Mrs. Powers suffered greatly from shock. Powers was driving the pleasure vehicle.

The chauffeur of the com mercial truck was Charles Schwartz, 19, of 28 Purvis Long Island City. He is employed by John Schroeder, a contractor of 312 Jackson Queens. After the collision he was served with a summons for failing to have a chauffeur license. Policeman William Sarvis of the Greenpoint ave. station declared that Schwartz could have avoided the accident.

He was going east alonrf Leonard at a lively rate of speed, while Powers was operating his car north along Norman ave. The occupants were hurled in all directions. They were picked up and carried into a nearby store and a call, for an ambulance brought Drs. Kunz and Chimin, from Greenpoint Hospital. Meanwhile, there was much excite ment and some one telephoned to the police station that several persons had been killed.

The police reserves were sent to the scene. They soon dispersed the crowd and cleared the streets. After the injured had been cared for they were taken home in another auto. Powers's machine was taken to a garage for repairs. DAVIS MAY LOSE HOLIDAY lV I'nttlr In Thr Hrnoklyn Eaglr and Phltatlt l-vhiu Lrdttrr Copyrtftht, 11I2U.

The raids were conducted by Agent Stonaker of Philadelphia following orders from Washington tp clean up New Jersey-termed by anti-saloon officials as "th land of the spree." No arrests wer made. The following statement was issued yesterday by State Director of Prohibition C. R. O'Connor: "It is believed that a long step has been taken toward correcting this evil of forged permits by requiring the permittee, or in cases of a corporation or copartnership the legal representative thereof to sign an identification card.

This signature card will be ip every instance compared with the signature of the permittee on the permits to purchase when filed by the permittee. "Another requirement is that the permittee in every instance, when applying, should state the amount of spirits applied for and withdrawn since the first of July. A false statement in connection with this matte; will be sufficient cause for revocation of permit. wnenever a permit to purchase is approved it will be mailed direct to the vender and not to the permittee as customary heretofore. "In writing out permits to purchase the permittee is not allowed to have any carbon copies.

Also when numbers are to be used in the indication of the quantity of liquor desired to be withdrawn the quantity must also be written out. It is absolutely imperative that the quantity received since July 1 be statexl. "The most important regulation is that which requires that the vendor or his common carrier must deliver liquor sold to the vendee and the vendor in every instance will be held responsible for the safe delivery of the liquors in question to the proper vendee or person entitled to receive same under tho permit of purchase. As soon as the liquor is delivered the vendor must stamp 'delivered' across all copies of permits and place thereon the serial numbers of the packages containing the liquors delivered. Delivery must be made to the premises' called for on the permits to purchase except in the case of distilleries bonded warehouses.

"It is also required that when pens mits to purchase are filed for approval, the vendee must sign a letter at thj'1 omce of the Federal Prohibition Director which will be forwarded tfl the distillery or bonded warehous ror identification. On receipt of th liquors from the vendor the venae must sign all copies of permits purchase, acknowledging receipt the. A vender having his own tr must have his name and address nls ly appearing thereon conspicuouji placed. "It is also required that the ortg Inal permit must, in every instance be filed with the vendor at the tima-cj placing the order. "A permit after havinir been fau sued by the Federal Prohibition Die rector must not be changed in am respeefwhntsoever, and an attempt so to do so will be deemed an attempt to commit a fraud.

All common-carrier permits issued prior to August 1, 1 920, are null and void." MRS. ROBINS INJURED Richmond, Va Aug. 7 Mrs. Horace Wellford Jones, 20 W. Franklin was summoned to Babylon, to day, by her sister, Mrs.
