A score Of persons were injured and
part of the East Side thrown into n
panic late yesterday afternoon, when IA
series of explosions blew the covers
Off about forty manholes, hurting fraE-
ments in all directions. The trouble
occurred in the zone from Lexington

More than dozen sufferers from
minor injuries were treated by DR.. Ber-
gen, of Flower Hospital, and sent to
their homes.
The explosions were practically
simultaneous. and crowds gathered at
various points, neccssitating the call
ing out Of tho reserves from the East
51st ST. station. Several ambulances
from Flower and Bellevue hospitals
were summoned.
Following an explosion in front Of
the Ruptured and Cripples' Hospital,
the fumes escaping from the manholes
took fire, sending jet of fame ten
feet into the air. Many Of the win
dows in the hospital were broken by
the force Of the explosion.
At the St. Bartholomew Clinic, 2O7 to
2l3 East Add ST., there was much eX-
citement. Miss McChesncy, who was
in charge Of the nurses, aided by Miss
King and Miss Marlborough, hurried
through the wards and succeeded in
quieting the patients. Sixteen win
dows were shattered. as well as many
in the parish house, which adjoins the
clinic.
All OF the windows in Public School
POI were smashed.
