TRIALS AT ODESSA
BECOME FARC|CAL
MOST OF THE ACCUSED ARE Ac-
Quilted.
Military Authorities Are Greatly Dis
Observation-Disclosures Shot After
siege Was Declared.

Odessa, July 14.-The trial OF the
persons arrested for participation In
the recent troubles here before the To-
cal magistrates is rapidly degenerate
ing into farce. OF 102 tried yester-
day, acquitals were ordered in "a cases
for lack OF evidence" the magistrates
declaring that the evidence of the po-
lice was not sufficien. to convict.
Twenty-eight others were sentenced to
serve seven weeks in prison. This Is
to include the fortnight already spent
in the prison here.
This action has greatly displeased
the military authorities, who had
counted on severe sentences in every
case. However, the magistrates are
close to the people, aud were appar-
emily afraid of popular vengeance. The
populace. however, is greatly pleased
with the action of the magistrates, and
demonstrations In their honor are be-
ing arranged.
Far different was the fate of those
arrested after the city had been de-
clared in "state of Siege" Twenty
seven we're hanged in the various pris-
ons yesterday, having been found
guilty by court martial of rioting. and
1S others will be publicly executed to-
day

THIRTEEN DEAD

New York, July 13.-Thirteen per-
sons are dead in New York city and its
vicinity tonight as the result OF to-
DAYS scortching heat. Seventeen seri-
Gus cases of heat prostration were
treated in the hospitals, and scores OF
others were revived by ambulance sur
geons and in drug stores.
New York suffered today from the
heat, not that the temperature was
high, but to the depressing humidity.
The day started in to be oppressive,
and a jump of II degrees in the tenn
perature in four hours, the tempera-
ture-at a. m. 1t was IA and at 10 a.
IN. it was 85 degrees-caused the peo-
pie in the crowded tenements to fore
sake their stuffy DoE-1iKe homes and
90 to the roofs and fire escapes for a
breath of air. In some instances fami-
lies lived on the fire escapes through
out the day. cooking and eating their
meals there and sleeping as best they
could when the darkness fell and some
relief was had.
Horses suffered intensely, numbers
of them being prostrated, and in many
instances police officers shot them to
put an end to their misery.
The deaths of several of today's heat
victims were peculiar. John McCerre-
on left his work complaining OF severe
pains in his head. and went to his
home. AS he ascended the stairway in
his house he became unconscious from
pain, lost his hold on the railing. and
fell backward down fight OF stairs.
His neck was broken by the fall and
death was instantaneous.
Samuel Schultz, painter, was work.
ing on a roof on Hestor street. when
he was overcome by the heat and fell
five stories to the street below The
man was instantly killed.
Crazed by his sufferings from In
tense heat, Lewis Ehlers of Newark,
N. j., committed suicide by inhaling
gas. Ehlers left a note that the heat
was too much for him.
Peter Sheedy, the only support OF his
parents, went to the roof of his home
to sleep. He made a temporary bed
at the foot of the chimney, and was
asleep when a rock, weighing fifty
pounds, fell from the top of the Chin
ney and crushed his chest. Sheedy
lived but few minutes after the acci-
dent.
Although several slight showers gave
temporary relief during the day, the
weather bureau prophets declare that
there is no let-up In sight and that the
death-dealing heat wave can be ex-
pected to last through the remainder
of the week.
