Floor-Burled Under Tons Of Stone
Brick and Iron Beams.
New York, June 27.-A storm Of
cyclone proportions, accompanied by
terrific deluge of rain, passed over
Harlem and the Bronx yesterday aft
ernoon causing widespread havoc.
A building in course of erection In
13Gth street, near Riverside drive, was
demolished, John Lawler. foreman Of
bricklayers, being crushed to death
and two Italian laborers severely in
jured. The wrecked building was one
of row of new apartment houses.
Lawler and the two laborers, seeing
the storm approaching from the New
Jersey shore, ran to the fifth floor and
made brave effort to shore up the
west wall.
From neighboring buildings heavy
wooden horses were carried up in
the air like so many pieces of paper
while the six-foot chimney of dunn
my engine in the street was torn from
its rivets AMI hurled 80 feet away.
Having finished their work, the
men started for the street and had
reached the first floor when the whole
building collapsed, burying them un
der tons of sandstone, brick, mortar
and iron beams.
After policemen and firemen had
worked on the ruins for more than
an hour Lawler was taken out alive
but survived only long enough to re
ceiva the last rites of the church
The other two men were soon after
wards eXtricated and were taken tc
the hospital.
Abraham Pearlman of the firm OF
Pearlman & Brown, the builders OF
the house, and Abraham Bordock, the
superintendent of construction, were
later arrested and held to await the
action of the coroner.
The storm was severe in the Bronx
ana Harlem, while the lower section
of the city experienced only a some
what heavy gale with no rain. The
storm appeared to break almost stimuli
taneously in the Bronx and Harlem
and the wind reached a velocity of AZ
miles an hour, accompanied by blind
ing sheets of rain Plate glass win
dows were shattered and trees and
chimneys blown down.
At the Hebrew Orphan asylum in
Amsterdam avenue four chimneys
were demolished and several windows
were blown out No one was injured
however
Hhe storm, which started so sud
denly, after venting its fury, stopped
as suddenly as it began, within II
minutes.

Accident Companies Badly Hit.
Referred to Attorney General.

The report of Superintendent Fran
els Hendricks of the state insurance
department to Governor Higgins upon
his investigation of the Equitable Life
Assurance society has been made puo
lie.
1t is described in the title as "pre-
liminary report" and it is decidedly
critical of the management of the So
ciety as we'll as of the new trust ar
rangement for voting the stock agreed
upon by Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan and
the three trustees designated by him.
In the conclusion of his report he
says:
mo superficial measures will cor
rect the existing evils in this society.
A cancer cannot be cured by treating
the symptoms. Complete mutualiza.
tion with the elimination of the stock,
to be paid for at price only commen-
surate with its dividends, is in my
opinion the only sure measure of re-
lief.
This report with a copy of the evil
dence taken on this investigation will
De transmitted to the attorney general
for such action thereon as he may
deem proper"

Better Treatment Of Chinese.

BY direction of President Roosevelt,
action has been taken by the admin.
istration that will facilitate the land.
ing in this country of Chinese of the
exempt classes, and also will eliminate
from the immigration bureau such ad.
ministrative features as nave been the
subject of criticism by Chinese.
Representations have been made to
the president that, in view of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to many
Chinese seeking a landing in the
United States, the commercial guilds
of China have determined to institute
a boycott on American manufactures.
1t is anticipated that the prompt ac-
tion taken by this government to meet
the objections made by the Chinese
will eliminate the possibility of serious
trade difficulties between China and
the manufacturers of this country.

ANNUAL MORTGAGE TAX.
Probable Expense of Collection Under
the New Law.

Albany, June 27.-The state board
Of tax commissioners has looked over
the estimates submitted by the various
county officers regarding the probable
expense of collecting the annual mort
gage tax under the law which goes
into active operation July l.
I'm a majority of cases." said Com
missioner Stearns, 1--WE have found the
estimates excessive. Most collecting
offices have an exaggerated idea of
the cost of the work. Their estimates
aggregate between s1SO,OO0 and $780,.
900, whereas we shall allow not more
than one-third of that sum.
"The expense Of carrying out the
new law is problematical and We can
not reach any definite conclusion un-
til after it has been in operation at
least year
"The commission is now perfecting
plans for the enforcement of the law
and preparing further instructions for
county officers"
