Painting Women Trampled on In
Dangerous jam at Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 1.-THE last night
of the carnival week barely escaped being
the cause of several deaths. As 1t was,
several persons were injured.
Fifty thousand people tried to squeeze
into two blocks of space on Grand avenue,
in the center of the city, to witness
mimic play at fire arranged by the fire de-
partment. The crush OF people finally
became terrific and two solid walls OF hui
manity found itself wedged in by build
ings on either side, and pushed against
each other by crowds in the rear.
Attempts of the police, headed by Chief
Irwin, to clear the street only Increased
the terror. Women tainted by the score
and were trampled on and children were
he'd in the air to prevent their being
killed, and men fought each other In their
desperation. The widest confusion pre-
vailed for half an hour and only subsid-
ed when an extra detachment Of police
fairly beat back the crowds at the differ
ent openings of the street and made q
breathing SPACE.

towards the beach. The life savers has
tened towards the spot she was heading

nosite TO her. Before the crew could get
their apparatus into working order the ves-
sci bounded to pieces in the heavy surf.
The men aboard of her clung to whatever
piece of wreckage they could grasp and
Struggled through the whirling waters
IN the beach. Three of them never
reached it, but the other five, bruised and
battered by the waves, were drawn ashore
by the life savers.
The rescued men were taken to the Cape
Henlopen life staving station, where they
are being cared for.
The wind blew a gale all day and
every vessel in the harbor sought refuge
behind the breakwater. Not pilot boat
ventured to sea.
The bark Alice, which was anchored a
mile west of the breakwater began to
drag her anchor to-day, but two tugs
went to her assistance and towed her to
a safe anchorage in the harbor.

piling up on the shore. 1t is feared that
