Trapped by Sudden thrush
Buildings Endangered.

A 2O-inch water main al Seventh Az.
aud 23d st. burst at l:l5 o'clock this
morning. sending water forty feet IN
,hc air and after a short time practi-
cally filling the excavations for the
now Seventh av. subway, which had
reached depth Of thirty feet. More
than $50 mon working in the excava-
ton narrowly escaped with their lives.
At O'Clock the Department Of Gas
and Water Supply had not succeeded
in finding the cutoff to the main, and
the water was still flowing.
Patrolman Williamson, of the West
20th ST. station, was near the spot
when the break occurred. The plank
ing which covered the excavations was
ripped off and shot into the air as the
water burst forth. He sent in an
alarm to the station, and Deputy Fire
Chief Martin and the emergency corps
Of the Department of Water Supply
were called to take charge of the
break.
The main supplies the high pressure
systems and the Croton systems for
the area bounded by 23d St, 28th ST.,
Ninth and Fifth avs.
The first alarm Of the break that
came to the men working in the eX--
cavatons was when the water started
70 rush in. The food swept those near
est the break off their feet. There was
a general stampede then for the near
csr exit. Several men were bruised by
being trampled in the rush.
According to those in charge OF the
laborers, all succeeded in escaping.
The food Of water is said TO have
ripped down the walls of the eXcava-
ton and torn out the snoring that sup
ported the planking. All traffic over
the section had been stopped.
Although no gas mains were broken
by the rush of water, crew Of men
was set at work to plug the gas pipes
in case the Snoring that supported
them should give way.
Fire engines to pump the water from
the excavation were ordered out.
Buildings along the course Of the
subway are being watched to dis
cover any seepage of water into the
foundations

SHERMAN WAS RIGHT: WAR

Failure of French Grape Crop Adds to Horrors-Nc
transportation for Fine Vintage Reserves and
October Harvest Will Be Reduced

best quality wines come from France
in the vicinity of Rheims.
The French crop is harvested late
in October after the first frost, and, in
the event Of war, the output would of
necessity be sharply reduced. The
French grape crops for the last three
or four years have been partial fail
ur :, and the price Of the best grade
grapes has risen appreciably. Because
Of this. many champagne manufsct-
u-ers have abandoned thi industry
and have taken up the manufacture
OF light, sparkling wines.
Duties OF champagne imports re-
main the same under tn new tariff at
50 SO per case, and the price for good
quality champagne is about S35 per
case. The wine trade has sustained
onother body blow, particularly IN
Ohio and in California, in the recent
ruling by the Secretary OF Agriculture.
The decision was that the name
wine is prohibited on products made
by tie addition OF yater 10 the juice;
pomace or TTlp Of grape and wine is
defined as "the product of the normal
alcoholic fermentation Of tn juice OF
the fresh, sound ripe grape, with the
usual cellar treatment" This ruling APP
plies to all wines made after June l.,

During the infancy OF that organiza-
ton Fogarty suggested TO the then
Commissioner and now Chief MagiS-
tratc McAdoo that the Police Ssnd
through its popularity was in posi-
ton TO do something for the families
of policemen who were disabled or
killed in the performance of duty.
McAdoo became greatly interested,
and Fogarty was assigned TO handle
the affair, the object being TO estab-
lish Widows and Orphans Relief
Fund. This after nine years finally
Claimed the attention Of the general
public during the athletic games held
last month at the Brighton Beach
racetrack.
Il was while working at the Commits
sioner's assignment that Fogarty first
met Colonel Aston. He presented the
case of the patrolmen so well that Mr..
Aston aided the work.
The two men later helped form the
Honor Legion Of the Police Depart
ment. and il was solely through
Fogarty's efforts that the colonel be-
came an active member OF that or
ganization with Andrew Carnegie and
several others.
After Colonel Astor's death Vincent
Aston and the sergeant became fast
friends. II was on Fogarty's proposal
that Vincent was elected 10 take the
eolonels place in the Honor Legion,
isd in presenting the Aston memorial
flags TO that organization young Mr..
Aston commented on the deep friend
ship that had existed between his
father and Fogarty.
About a year ago Fogarty's heart
gave out. but a series OF hardships in
regard to the health of his large
family made it necessary for him to
remain at work. Three months ago his
condition became so critical that he
was compelled to quit.

GIRL TRAILS HIM
BY HIS MUSTACHE
After Chase Across Continent
She Seeks $4,000 for
Wounded Heart.

Miss Carolyn Dollman, living at l2O
West Gath ST., believes that when a girl
loves a man she should be slow to
give him up. In line with her theory
she trailed William Wallace Potter, Of
Pawtucket, R. l.. across the continent,
and when he still insisted that the old
love was off sued MIN for $4,000 balm
for her wounded affections.
Miss Dollman declared yesterday that
Potter, who is vice presldent or the
Potter-Johnstone Machine Company, OF
Pawtucket. had become engaged TO her
in the spring of 1912, and that he had
purchased the betrothal ring, dla-
mond creation set in platinum.

wife, ! spent all my savings on it. On

ronto. | knew that | could follow Will
lam because his little mustache was
different from any had ever seen. An
other thing which helped me was the
fact that he always tipped with dollar
bills, which made the porters and the
waters remember him.

which William was a day ahead of me
in Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver and
Seattle BY that time, although people
still remembered his mustache and golf
clubs, my money was all gone and |
