The Intercollegiate Athletic Association Of the
United States, which had its birth in the CONFER

football reform last December has been fairly
launched. Captain p. e Pierce. of West Point the
president Of the association, and Louis Bevier 1r
of Rutgers. secretary and treasurer, have issued
a circular letter which says in part;

CHARGES AGAINST COUNTY EMPLoYE.
Accused of Joining Fire Company After
Legal Age Limit.

Daniel Sullivan. of Richmond Hill. who is en-
ployed in the Kings County Penitentiary. may
have TO face charges before the Fire Wardens
for having joined the fire company of which he
is a member after he had passed the legal age
limit of forty-fve years. Sullivan, who desired
to benefit by the advantages accruing 20 ex-
empt firemen. joined Pecare Hose Company ?
four years ago. If he Joined legally as he
stoutIy maintains he did. he is solid in his
place as a veteran Of the Civil War could be-
Probably no question TO the legality of his
admission TO the company would have been
raised but for some jealousy in the last election
held on Thursday evening In the department
haadquarters I'm Richmond Hill. 1t is alleged by
some of the delegates to the election that Sulli-
van. failing in his efforts 10 stand as a recoS
nized candidate for first assistant chief. bolted
the election with the two other delegates from
Pecare Hose Company. Then vengeance it is
said was vowed. and the plans were laid to hale
Sullivan before the Fire Wardens to consider the
legality of his admission.

ISEWER LIDS FLY HIGH
TEN REPORTED INJURED.
Explosions Laid to Waste from
Garages Ignited by Trolley Cars.

F,xplosions of gases i'm sewers i'm the territory
bounded roughly by Eighth avenue and the
Hudson River from 5Oth TO sd street ana
centring with particular force in 51st street be-
tween Eighth avenue and the river took pace
al $50 D. m yesterday. The recurrence ol .ieSe
explosions (this being the fourth time they nave
taken place in as many months) caused great
excitement in the neighborhood-
theory that the refuse from garages flowing
into the sewers generates the gas which is re-
sponsible for the explosions received favor from
many who observed them they occurred
No fatalities were reported. although num-
Der of minor injuries were sustained and two
ambulances with four doctors from Roose-
welt Hospital were kept busy for while. The
names of ten of the injured were obtained by the
police and doctors.
Ex-Coroner Scholer was talking to Patrolman
Foley, of the West 47th street station, when the
first explosion occurred. They were at Ninth
avenue and 51st street. DR.. Scholer was thrown
on his face. but arose at once and helped Foley
to restore order DR. Scholer. Foley and others
who closely observed the successive explosions
said that there was a yellowish-blue flame COM
ing from the manholes. the covers OF which were
thrown off. and they confident that they rep
resented the ignition Of gases such as gasolene.
The fact that the explosions have always taken
place at high tide coupled with the circumstance
that the sewers set low on account OF the
subway leads TO the conclusion that the tide
backs the gases from the garage refuse up In
the sewer and ignition from passing trolley cars
does the rest.
James Reilley, who has been stationed at
Ninth avenue and 50th street since the explosion
two weeks ago. made the observation that the
explosion occurred yesterday just a car
passed. He believes that spark fell from the
shoe into the gases of the sewer. causing the ex-
plOsiOn.
A number Of small boys who habituaIly play
marbles the manhOleS in 51st street. near
Ninth avenue, escaped serious injury narrowly
They were blown eight or ten feet in some cases.
and the asphalt, which was torn up for that
radius around the manhOles, offered a chance for
a tumble into the sewer I'm some instances. In
front of No. 426 West J1st street boy named
Chase pulled his chum, named Gallagher, away
from the hole as he was about to tumble in
Windows were broken by the hundred. and II
was estimated by the police that $1,000 damage
resulted from this alone The dwellings No. 4lS
to 426 West 51st street had their windows shat
tered almost without exception. and all down the
street there were many others in similar plight.
