HIS FACE SHOT AWAY BIZ 4 CANNON.
Alberts stopped Over the Gun ana Dropped In
n Lighted Fuse-He May Die.

usF-"S my VIC
The discharge of a cannon at the picnic of the
German kriegerbund OF Williamsburg, at Ridge
wood last evening, blew off Theodore Alberts's
face, and he may die. Alberts is 81 years old
and lives at l02 Montrose avenue. He is onl-
ploycd by Henry Link, who had charge OF the
shooting galleries and the cannon salutes at tho
park. Alberts was green at the business and no
had difficulty in pcrsuading Link to permit him
to fire the salutes. The cannon used for the
purpose was n small iron one, and the mouth
pointed almost straight up.
There were about 800 members OF the bund on
parade in the park last evening, and while they
were being reviewed cannon salutes were given.
The cannon in charge OF Albcrts was tlled with
paper and powder. In the charge which injured
him he placed a small fuse. He was under the
impression that the charge wouldn't explode.
While bending over, with his face almost on n
level with the mouth Of the cannon, he ignited
tho fuse. Quick rs u flash the charge eX-
ploded. and Albcrts fell backward. Hc
became insensible and was carried into
the hotel. There IL was found that the entire
right side OF his face had been shot away. His
right eye was gone, and so was the jaw and part
OF the chin. All the teeth on the right side had
also been shot away.
No physician could be found. and it was neces-
sary to carry the injured man to the boundary
line mt Williamsburg, where an ambulance WAS
summoned. Alberts was taken to st. Mary's
HOSPITAL. where it was said last night that he
might die.
