200 ARE CAUGHT
+. IN.PAvILION'S FALL
Terrific Storm Sweeps PhiIadeI-
phia-Baby Is Slain and
! 100 Hurt.
100000 LOSS is REPORTED
Buildings Wreck and Debris Cover
Entire City-Wind Causes Wreck
of Auto and Several Are
Injured.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-Two hun
dred persons were caught in the col
lapse Of band pavilion in Fairmont
park Sunday afternoon, when the
worst storm of many years struck this
city. Rain, hail, lightning and a 60
mile wind did great damage all over
the city, but the worst accident was
that at the park. One baby was killed
and Is of the most severely injured are
in hospitals near the park
More than 100 of the injured man
aged to drag themselves to their
homes. Only the fact that the pavilion
was of light construction, without any
real heavy joists, prevented a terrible
catastrophe. The crowd had sought
refuge from the rain inside the frail
structure.
Sightseeing Auto Wrecked.
At the height Of the storm a large
sightseeing automobile was thrown
into tree. Seven of the occupants
were injured.
Matte L. Greiner was drowned at
Port Richmond Two men, her com
panions, we're endeavoring to get
ashore when a gust seemed to lift the
woman bodily from the boat in which
all were riding
In all parts Of the city trolley serv-
ice is either tied up absolutely or de-
layed for hours. Telephone and tele-
graph poles are down on all sides.
The wind tore the roof from the
building Of the Franklin Trust COM
panys building, and the roofs of
eleven houses were carried away bod
lily.
Station Tower Falls.
A tower Of the Pennsylvania station
was hurled into the street.
All of the parks of the city are de-
vastated. The entire reserve force of
the police department has been called
out and is busy roFing off dangerous
thorOughfares.
Reports from the outlying districts
show that the storm was even worse
than in Philadelphia. Early reports
show that many of the magnificent
homes in the suburbs and along the
main line" are wrecks.
Atlantic City Is Cut off.
Atlantic City up to a late hour was
cut off absolutely from Philadelphia.
Prior to the storm Philadelphia was
sweltering, with the thermometer
around 81 degrees and the humidity al
most at it's highest.
The storm lasted four hours, when
the city began to take account of it's
loss of life and property. The latter,
based on a conservative estimate, will
reach more than a million dollars in
Philadelphia and it's near suburbs.

New York, Aug. 11.-Isidor Straus,

fused to desert her husband when she
could have been saved before the
Titanic went down, left an estate of

TO RAE HUGE SAND DUNES
Sand Mounds at Miller, Ind, Now

Chicago.-The celebrated sand
dunes at Miller, Ind, which have been
the scene of more moving picture
dramas than any other one spot in the
middle west, and which we're also the
scene Of the most exciting moments
in the history Of Chicago's car barn
bandits, are to disappear.
The Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern
Railroad company has bought the
dunes because it wants to extend its
switch yards from Gary to Miller.
The railroad plans to sell the sand
and level the dunes.
The dunes served the moving pic
ture people for mountains, and many a
wild West drama has been enacted
In their shallow valleys.

every possible means to recruit men

"There are of course no reasons given
in such an order and man can draw
only his own conclusions. We have
been having orders right along to try
to increase the army and no undue sig

BRAVE DANGERS ON COAST
house Undergo Hardships Dur
ing the Winter.

London.-The recent loss by drown
ing Of one of the light keepers from
the Wolf Rock lighthouse has recall
ed many stories of the hardships and
dangers undergone this winter by
men who kept vigil on the rock bound
Cornish cHast.
The Longship Rock lighthouse, just
of Lands End, has a storeroom dug
out of the solid rock, which forms the
foundation of the lighthouse. While
the keeper was visiting the cellar one
morning he looked out Of the trap
door and saw huge wave coming. He
had barely time to close the door
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-08-13

before it was assaulted by thousands
OF tons Of water.
The thunder of the wave and the
terrifying noises created in the rock
cavern by the rushing waters caused
such a nervous shock to the impris-
oned keeper that his hair is said to
have turned white during the few
minutes of his Imprisonment.
Probably the most remarkable adj
venture fell to the lot of Engineer
Douglass Of the famous Eddystone
light. When he was building the
Bishops Rock light he tripped and fell
from the top of the tower so feet
above the rocky base. Before he had
time to reach the rock a great wave
covered it, and when the Mortified
workmen looked down they saw him
swimming unframed toward the
rock.

Although man was made "but little
lower than the angels and crowned
with glory and honor and has in the
age long years of his upward climb
achieved marvels in the conquest OF
natural forces-in spanning mighty
water courses, the erection of lofty
towers and business blocks, the reclaim
ing of sun and water cursed wastes
and in the control Of earth and air and
sea--he still remains, as it were,
helpless pygmy in the face of storm
and food. The fearful calamities Of
the past few weeks serve to demon
strate this truth most forcefully, yet
pathetically. In the inundation of
Ohio rivers no human power could
stem the foods, and people were
drowned like so many rats. In the
fearful tornado at Omaha human habi-
tations were crushed and carried off
as if they had been eggshells and oak
and walnut trees snapped as if they
had been matches. Man has been. is
and doubtless always will be a victim
of these two elemental forces. His
only resource lies in providing means
of escape, not in withstanding their
fury.

When moss grows on the surface of
the ground it is pretty good evidence
that the soil is in poor condition. It
not only needs a fertilizer, but will
be improved if it is given a treatment
OF ton or two of ground limestone
per acre. Following this. it should be
seeded to some legume, such as Canada
field peas with oats. or clover with
barley, and this plowed under when
it has attained a good growth. with
1000 pounds of ground rock phosphate
added per acre. This course will sweet
en- and enrich the soil and put it in
shape to produce any crop desired,
this, of course, assuming that the land
is not wet and doesn't need filling to
put it in proper physical condition.

Washington, June 21.--The senate
democrats resumed consideration of
the tariff bill caucus today as revised
by the majority of the finance COM
mittee, further reducing the duties and
enlarging the free list. The discus
sion began on the chemical schedule,
on which the Underwood rates were
reduced on certain dyes used in the
manufacture of cotton and WooIen
goods, while other articles such as
screosete oil and cyanides, were trans

Simmons said he anticipated few, if
any. changes In the chemical schedule
by the caucus.
The republican leaders are studying

The changes of the senate finance

Chairman Simmons announced, when
the caucus recessed at noon, that
chemical schedule had been partly
considered and nothing changed. Later
