TELEPHONE SERVICE
OUT Of COMMISSION
BIG FORCE MAKING REPAIRS

Practically the entire telephone service
Of Washington was thrown out Of COM
mission during the storm. More than
1000 telephones In the city proper were
disabled, and communication with out.
side points was cut on.
More than 1.500 telephones were nut out
Of service by the flooding of section
OF the main distributing frame in the test
room at the main central ONCE of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company In Twelfth Street Northwest.
The flood was the result Of the windows
Of the room being blown in by the ter
rife gale of wind. A force of men are
now working on the frame, and the con-
Gition will be remedied as fast as the
insulation on the wires and cables can
be dried out.
Other damage. affecting approximately
500 additional telephones, was caused
by the overnowing of sewers, the ducts
through which the cables run being filled
with water. In many instances. tele-
phones were disabled by the wetting OF
wires where windows were left open and
where the instruments were exposed tc
the heavy rain. Damage from this source
arises in connection with practically
every summer thunderstorm, explained
telephone officials last night.
THE telephone company has every EN-.
ploye in the plant at work on the job
and they will continue their work nigh,
and day until every line Is again in good

CHILDREN'S PANIC
NARROWLY AVERTED
Little Ones and Mothers En- Route to
Camp Good will Are Calm at
Associated Charities.

The presence of mind displayed by en-
ployes Of the Associated Charities at the
central building of the organization, s27
H Street Northwest, prevented a panic
among ITO mothers and their children
bound for Camp Good VIII. The roof of
the building was blown on. Valuable
records are thought to have been de-
stroyed. Desperate work by employees
saved nearly all records in the building.
although all floors Of the buildings were
damaged by water.
While the parties for Camp Good VIII
at the central building were held by girl
employees and the janitors, there were
similar scenes at Neighborhood House,
40 N Street Southwest, and at 700 Sew
enth Street Southeast.
Parties Of eighty-five were in each of
the two buildings. At Neighborhood
House the mothers and children were
quieted and sent to their homes as soon
as possible. At the Southeast branch Of
the Associated Charities the mothers and
children later were sent to Camp Good
Will, which also was found to be dam
aged. Tents in the camp were blown
down. No one was injured. 1t was re-
ported.
Damage was greatest at the central
building. The interior of the house had
just been painted. 1t will require re-
decorating. Furniture and books, in
spite of the work Of employees, were de-
stroyed. New awnings were torn into
strings.
Camp Pleasant, the baby camp Of the
charities n sociation. was reported not to
be damaged.

PANIC IN A THEATER
Miss Lottie Linthieum Urges Audience
to Keep Calm When Door Is

Miss Lottie Linthicum, member OF
the company. and the orchestra prevented
a panic at Polls Theater when a double
door. iron-hinged. blew from the back
of the building into the wings. Scenery
was thrown across the stage. Several
players narrowly escaped. A horse tied
behind the scenes became terrified. En-
ployes prevented his attempted flight to-
ward the audience.
When the door hit the scenery. men,
bers OF the audience were hysterical.
With women fainting and men frightened
almost into deliriums Miss Linthicum
ran on the stage. She made a speech tell
ing OF the accident, and assured the au-
dience no harm would be done them. The
orchestra, members Of which had en-
tered their pit from under the stage,
played marches and the excitement soon
subsided.

MAGNIFICENT TREES
DOWN AT BELMONT
Dozens of Dead Birds Found Scattered
About Grounds After Storms
Fury Is Spent.

Belmont, the beautiful Barber estate
property. suffered severely. four of its
magnificent big trees being blown down,
and many others almost stripped OF their
limbs. After the storm there were doz-
ems of dead birds scattered over the spa
cious grounds. The squirrels, for which
the place is noted, scampered around like
a lot of lost children seeking their homes.
A peculiar freak of the storm occurred
at Fourteenth and Clifton Streets, the
wind taking the cupola of the Victoria
Apartment House. and blowing out the
windows, but doing little or no other
damage.
1t was a sad sight that greeted those
using the Fourteenth Street car lines.
Going by the different side streets, dog
ems of fallen trees could be seen, some
of the thoroughfares being literally
choked by the debris. while on every side
could be seen big trees leaning against
the houses.

With the roll call half over, however.
