rose feverishly hot. until late in the af-
ternoon II beat down and hundreds OF
men, women and children were stricke en-
by the frightful heat
II did not need n therpometer 10 tell
that this was the hottest day OF the sea-
son. The temperature averaged almost
IS for the working day, and the bulb dis
played SO even In the early part OF the
afternoon. More than that. however. thu
humidity. so deadly IN its effect. was
frightful.
The police records show only seven per-
sons dead and only about 80 prostrations.
The ambulance surgeons can tell a very
different tale. Hundreds In the crowted
districts toppled over In the streets and
were carried into hospital emergency
rooms, there TO receive saving treatment
and go forth again TO work as best they
might. In the sweat shops the miserable
human beings. with no air TO breathe ex-
cept the horribly close atmosphere tainted
with the fumes given of by steaming
clothes. all but suffocated.
II never will be known exactly how
many persons were overcome by the heat
yesterday, but persons were dropping In
the streets all the day long, and whom
one estimate made the dead 80 and those
merely overcome temporarily more than
800.
