FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 10. 1907.
THOUSANDS FRUSTRATED.


It is estimated that 2, 500 persons we're
prostrated by the heat yesterday during
the progress of the Elks' parade in Phil
adelphia. The parade was one OF the
greatest seen in that city in years, and
Il is estimated that more thtn l,OOO,-
900 persons crowded into Broad street
to view the spectacle. 1t was the hot
test day Of the summer, and long before
the procession started spectators were
falling by the dozens.
The sun was broiling hot and the hui
midity unusually high. Every hospital
in the city was brought into service after
those nearest the route of the parade
were crowded to the last inch. The
physicians we're 80 busy that no names
were taken. The hospitals treated more
than 1000 cases and DR.. Patterson,
chief police surgeon, estimated that fully
!, 500 additional patients were treated
by the emergency corps of doctors along
the line of the procession.
A severe storm broke up the parade
lust as the rear of the line passed the
official reviewing stand. Tens OF thous-
ands Of persons were drenched and light
ming struck in many places, but 80 far
as known no one was injured.
Never has there been such a whole
sale Frustrating of people in Philadel-
phia. For six hours the police, ambu-
lance surgeons and the Red Cross nurses
were kept Cd the run looking after per-
sons who collapsed under the scorching
rays of the sun, and largely because Of
their excellent service but two cases re-
sui ed fatally. ,
The parade ground was on Broad
street for a defiance of three miles north
and the same distance south Of the city
hall. The paraders countermarched the
last three miles back to the city hall, so
that they travelled upwards Of nine miles,
vet few Of those overcome by the heat
were in the line of march.
Those who succumbed we're among the
spectators jsmmed along the street in q
solid mass from one end of the line to
the other. The temperature lowered
around 90 and the humidity WAS exces-
sive, and as consequence people swell
tered.
