LIKE A SECOND
YOUNGSTOWN FLOOD
Another Pennsylvania Dam Breaks,
Destroying Three Towns.
FIRE COMPLETES DESTRUCTION
Wall Of Water Twenty-Five Feet High
Sweeps Down Valley Destroying
Everything In Its Path-Dan
Held 500 Million Gallons.

Austin, Pa, Oct. 2.-Between $50
and 1000 lives were lost when this
town and Costello and Wharton, be.
low here. were destroyed. by the
bursting of o dam. The reservoir OF
the Bayless Pulp and Paper company
burst and wall Of water rs feet high
swept down Freeman's run at speed
estimated at q mile minute. Frame
buildings were carried away. Stone
and brick buildings were crushed.
Fire broke out in the debris and com
pleted the ruin.
One hundred and sixty bodies have
been recovered.
The dam, which was $50 feet long
and 40 feet high, was 80 feet thick
at the base and held back more than
500, 100000 gallons Of water.
Hundreds Of women and children
the men were away at work--were
caught in their homes and drowned or
crushed before they knew what had
happened. Houses went down before
the mighty onrush Of water, and gas
pipes, bent and broken, released their
dangerous fluid. Before the water
had passed on its terrible course
through the town a dozen fires were
burning in as many places, and the
cries Of injured and imprisoned per
sons Joined in the terrific thunder Of
the flood.
Much Of the debris lodged against
the shops Of the Buffalo & Susque
hanna railroad, and there the fre
ragged fercest. Many were caught
here and it is believed that few II
any escaped with their lives.
1t is estimated that q thousand
buildings have been torn from theiI
foundations and crushed in the flood
or have been destroyed by fire. The
water made its way through the bust
ness section Of the town and left only
four buildings standing.
The railroad shops, where the
debris piled high and which resisted
for a time the force of the water were
the death chamber Of the majority OF
men employed there. A rescue party
attempted to reach the interior OF the
ruins, but were driven back by the
smell Of burning flesh.
Many persons, crushed and helpless
in the wrecks of buildings only partly
destroyed by the water, were con
sumed in the flames.
The property loss will exceed IS,
100000. 1t is doubtful whether the
town ever will be rebuilt. Two at
least Of the large plants will not be
reconstructed. and majority OF the
business men of the place have been
ruined financially.
II was shown that there is need OF
guards in the town. Pillagers nad
been at work in the night, following
the rumor that the vaults Of the
Austin bank and the safes of several
stores had been wrecked. The rumor
was not true. The fremen and volun'
teers prevented Attempts at plumber
ing. In several cases the guards
fought the pillagers.
Investigation into the cause OF inc
breaking Of the dam will be started al
once, according to officials in charge
Of the work of rescue. That there
had been constant danger OF the
catastrophe due to the instability Of
the structure. was known to many
residents of the town, and a thorough
investigation is demanded by many
Of the survivors.

Destruction Of Entire Ottoman
Fleet--oerman Flag on
italian Vessel.

London, Oct. 2.--0ut Of q maze OF
conflicting reports and ruInors 1t is ut
terly impossible at the present stage
to sift the grains Of truth concerning
the opening days Of the Turkoltalian
war. 1t appears doubtful whether
there has been any actual occupation
of Tripoli and 1t is practically certain
that there has been no bombardment
by Italian warships.
1t seems also certain that the re-
ported destruction of the Turkish
fleet is untrue. In fact, the only re-
suit Of the first few days of hostilitief
for which It can be vouched is the
destruction Of the Turkish destroyer
BY the Duke Of the Abruzzi's ships
off Preyesa. The Tripoli cable is 50
closely sealed that It is impossible
for the world to know what is going
on there.
The most significant news OF the day
Is the decision Of the Turkish council
again to appeal to the powers. and
in the meantime suspend offensive
measures.
Germany and Austria already have
made unofficial representations te
Italy Of their displeasure at hei
procedure, and that II these repre-
sensations are ignored they will BE-
followed in another shape by "humih
alton to Italy"
According to information from
diplomatic sources the landing Of the
Italians in Prevesa is resented By
Austria and Germany and much e
do with their reported change Of atti
tude towards Italy.

In the fifth Rochester drove the final
nail. by putting another one up on the

scribe how, in a most succinct (Har-
r~isonese for clear) manner. Frick got
mixed up with Moran's high inield
fly, letting it drop and then falling
into a deep. brown study while Moran
sailed to second. Nee got the habit
and refused absolutely 20 stop the

Moran should have scored, and he did.
All through the game there was lack
of cohesive action. A Tiger would get
base and there he would stay an

Hughes. Tom. however, was very spar

consequently there was nothing do

1.-TWO important tournaments are 10
be played this week, which will
make 1t one of the busiest golfing
weeks of the season. The Women's
Metropolitan Golf Association will hold
it's annual championship tournament
at the S%carsdale Golf and Country
Club, beginning today and concluding
on Friday, while the Mems Metropoli-
tan Golf Association will begin its an
nual championship on Wednesday over
the Garden City Golf Club links, and
will be continued on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday.
The two tournaments will conflict on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but
the mems will outrank the women's in
Importance. as they will nav four
times as many entries.
In fact, there will be very few
women left in the tournament after the
first two days play. while the mems
tournament will be at Its height dur
ing the three days of conflict. Much Is
expected of Gardner w. White, the
interscholastic champion, who Won the
recent invitation tournament of the
Garden City Golf Club by defeating
Walter J. Travis in that memorable
and sensational forty-one holes final
round.
Fred Herreshoff, the present metro
politan champion, and Oswald Kirkby,
the Englewood Club champion, are also
players of whom much Is expected. A
dark horse. however, is likely to APP
pear in Max Behr, Morris County Golf
Club, the present New Jersey State
champion, as he Is playing exception
ally fine golf this season, a fact which
is not generally known. He has not
made an appearance in any of the
spring tournaments this year. and no
one has been able to get a line on his
work, but he has quietly devoted all
his spare time to dlligent practise.
On Wednesday Of last week he made
a new amateur record for the Baltusrol
Golf Club course of 70, the former rec
ord having been rs. held Jointly by
Jerome p. Travers, c. j. Sullivan and
DR.. Morrow. Behr is by 10 means un-
familiar with the Garden City course,
as he was the runner-up to Jerome d.
Travis in the national amateur cham
pionship of 1908, when 1t was decided
over the Garden City course. He beat
n. F. Whitney, New Dreams, the
Southern Golf Association champion,
in the first round; II. #. Whitney, of
Nassau, in the second round: T. NJ.
Chaplin, the Boston expert, in the third
round. and Fred Herreshoff in the
to Travers in the final round.

tFrom a Stan Correspondent
-RnCHESTER N Y Ma,

HOCIlDD EN- N. LIZ May GE.
A FTER another night on the road,
~ the Tigers arrived here this
morning for the series which
winds up the first trip around the
upper end of the Barrow circuit. -Four
games will be played in three days
against the Hustlers, a double-header
being scheduled for tomorrow. On
Thursday the Bengals will return to
Newark for a f~our-game series with
Baltimore, which will carry them over
till Monday, when the usual Memorial
Day series with Jersey City will
begin. There is a change in the way OF
playing the Jersey City games.
In the past it has been customary
for the teams to alternate during their
series, starting one day in Newark
and playing the next day in Jersey
City and vice versa. This year the
teams will play the three or four IN
secutive games, as the case may be.
In the one town, with the exception of
holidays, when the usual schedule Of
playing one game in Newark and the
other in Jersey City will be in vogue.
Jersey City will be in Newark in the
morning of Decoration Day this year,
and Newark will play at Jersey City
in the afternoon. On Independence
Day, July 4, this order will be reversed.
The Tigers will have thirteen games
at home and one at Jersey City before
hitting the road again. on June s, to
make their initial appearance at Balti-
more. Sunday, June IL, is an open
date. 1t 10 probable that Joe McGin-
nifty will bring a major league team
over for In exhibition game on that
day. The Tigers wind up a series at
Baltimore on the previous day and
open at Providence on Monday, June IL.
All the real action of the game was
concentrated in the fourth and fifth
innings, for in these the Hustlers put
their three men over the scoring plat
ter. AS a matter of fact, Newark came
closer TO scoring in the fourth than
in any other session, and that wasn't
so very close. either.
