NEW YORK, June 25.-More

attacked New York City with

days and as yet there have been
no signs of abatement.

intense than on any previous day
since the hot period began.
Mercury Still Climbing.
This morning the mercury had
reached 80 degrees and was still
climbing. Yesterday it reached
80 degrees and it will probably
be hotter than that today.
The hospitals are overflowing
with heat victims, and 1t is proba-

much larger unless the weather
changes quickly.

Thousands of persons sleep out
doors nightly In a vain attempt 10

is high and there is little relief
for the sufferers. Coney Island

TO BE GOOD

1t is declared that Thomas
Hughes, the private detective VINO
was arrested last week for carry
ing concealed weapons. has no rep

the police.
The charge that he had made
threats against a neighbor and
that he fred two shots were both
dropped and the only reason ne
