Carl De Lueo An italian
Laborer Drowned Yester-
day in the Boring Shield.
SQUEEZE" CAUGHT THIRTY
IRON FRAME WORK GAVE WAY
AND DE LUco WAS LOST IN
THE RUSH OF MUD AND
WATER.

7 ( y.
Carl De Luco, thirty years old, Of No.
1856 Fifteenth street, employed as a
laborer in the tunel under the Hudson
River at the foot of Fifteenth street. was
caught in the boring shield yesterday
and instantly killed. The body was
taken to Hughes's morgue.
De Luco, with about thirty other
workmen, was caught ins what tunnel-
workers call squeeze" sudden burst
ing of the walls of the shdield in which
the boring is accomplished, accompanied
by rush of mud and water forced
through the opening by the tremendous
weight of the river bed and water above
The accident occurred in the south bore
of the twin bores. The north bore was
completed less than a year ago, when
work was Immediately started on the
south bore from the Jersey City side Of
the river. 1t has progressed several hun
dred feet under the river bed.
A force of thirty odd men were at
work in the far shield under high atno-
spheric pressure. The high atmospheric
pressure is usually counted upon to keep
back in the case of slight accident the
rush of mud and water. A big section
OF the iron frame work gave way and
mud and water rushed in. The men, al
ways on the alert for such catastrophe,
darted for narrow opening leading into
a second chamber in which there is less
atmospheric pressure. Several Of the men
stumbled and fell in the pell nell rush
for the narrow opening. De Luco was
one of these. Before he could regain his
footing he was smothered beneath the
avalanche of the inpouring water and
drowned. The rest of the men succeeded
in getting through the narrow opening
and into the chamber of safety. Water
filed the shield to a depth Of three feet.
Two men armed with bags Of sand
worked their way through mud and
water, stopped the leak and rescued the
body of De Luco.

WANTS TO SELL WOODS


Special to The Jersey City News.")
TRENTON. August 10, 1905. State
Geologist Kummel, of the State Forestry
Commission, said yesterday that the
commission had received many propo-
sitions for the sale of woods. The COM
mission had made no purchase, and
would not make any until all offers
were in.
He said the commission would endeay-
or to show what could be done by forest
cultivation. and added: ut is believed
that such cultivation can be made decid-
edly profitable, especially in those parts
Of the State where the lands cannot be
proftably employed in agriculture. For
ty-six per cent. of the area Of New Jer-
sey is in forests, and there are hundreds
of thousands Of acres of these lands in
South Jersey and in the mountains of
Sussex and other northern counties
where nothing else can be grown. They
have not heretofore been developed to
anything like their possible resources as
forest growing areas because of want
Of knowledge and the yearly ravages of
the forest fires.
Forest preservation and cultivation by
the State, it is believed, will overcome
these adverse factors
