PHILADELPHIA'S LOSS
is MORE THAN A MILLION

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. IL
Death, devastation and tremendous
property loss is left in the wake of
the worst storm in years, which
struck Philadelphia and the sur
rounding country at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. Accompanied by q
sixty -mile wind, the tremendous black
clouds and large hailstones, every
thing frail or weak fell In the path of
the gust. The estimated loss is a mill
lion dollars.
The worst accident reported was in
Paramount Park, where a band pa
vilion near Georges Hall collapsed,
catching at least 200 persons in the
ruins. They had taken refuge from
the storm in the pavilion. A baby is
dead and fifteen injured persons are
in the local hospitals. More than a
hundred managed to drag themselves
to their homes. Only the fact that
the pavilion was of light construction,
without any real heavy joists, pre-
vented terrible catastrophe.
The entire length of Market street
is laid in waste Tremendous trees
that have withstood the storms of
years are stretched across the streets.
In all parts OF the city trolley service
was either tied up absolutely or de-
layed for hours Telephone and tele-
graph poles are down on all sides.
Roofs of eleven houses in the neigh
borhood of 47th and 49th streets and
Woodland and Pashall avenues were
carried away bodily.
All the parks of the city are devas-
tated. Gigantic trees were broken

THREE OF SIX STRAUS
HEIRS LIVE AT RED BANK

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.--Isidor
Straus, merchant and philanthropist,
who lost his life on the Titanic, left
an estate Of $4,565, 106. His wife, Mrs.
Ida Straus, who persisted with him
rather than be saved, left an estate of
1925, SIS.
The six children of the Titanic vic
tins are the sole heirs of the two es-
tates. Their shares are: Mrs. Sarah
Hess, wife of DIR. Alfred It. Hess,
SOL ,S51 10; Mrs. Minnie We'll, wife of
DR.. Richard We'll. $70S,074.15; Mrs. vi

Percy S. Stratus and Herbert N.
Straus, of Red Bank, N. j., $465, S59.67
each
The discrepancy in the inheritance
of the three sisters and the three
brothers is accounted for in a 100000
trust fund created by Mr. Straus for
his daughters under his will. Instead
of providing in that for his sons, Mr..
Straus, four years before his death,
had taken them into the firm of r. II.
Macy & Co., giving each of them an
8 Der cent interest.
