SUBWAY SWALLOWS
PART OF BROADWAY
One Hundred Feet of Sidewalk
Near 28th Street Sinks
-Four Feet.

A localized earthquake, caused by
f ulty underpinning in the new subway
excavation, gave Broadway pedestrians
a scare at o'clock yesterday after
noon, when a hundred feet of the side
walk near the northwest corner Of
Twenty eighth Street suddenly dropped
four feet below the level Of the curb.
The shrieks of the involuntary occu-
pants Of the newly made trench, min
gled with the rumble caused by several
tons of earth which fell into the dig
gings, gave rise 10 a rumor that a
number of persons had been killed.
After a few minutes of excited search
ing, it was discovered that no one was
even hurt. A few members of the audi
ence in Proctor's Fifth Avenue The
atre, startled by the noise, departed
hastily.
Inspector Morris, in charge of police
reserves, roped off that portion of the
block which had caved in, and ordered
the tenants of 1889, 1871 and 1893
Broadway to evacuate, for fear that
the buildings would collapse. Traffic
was not completely resumed for two
hours.
The accident was caused when the
props supporting the sidewalk at the
point where it caved in dropped away
and allowed the earth and stone which
thew held back to avalanche into the
excavation. Subway workers said that
the collapse might have been caused
bv the constant jar of traffic overhead,
b. the vibration of the blasting or by
the percolation Of water from recent
rains. There was no danger of further
trouble, they said, and announced that
the damage would be repaired at once.

Centuries.

Boston. April 12.R'Don't pray for
European peace now" was the advice
given to-day TO the Baptist ministers at
their weekly meeting in fremont Tenn
pie by President Emeritus Eliot of
Harvard University.
81 cannot conceive Of worse catas-
trophe for the human race than peace
in Europe now" he said. "If it were
declared now Germany would be in
possession of Belgium and German
aggressive militarism would have tri-
umphed That would be success for
Germany after she mad committed the
greatest crime a nation can commit -
namely, faithlessness TO treaty rights -
and the sanctity of contracts would
pass for nothing and civilization
would be set back centuries. ! don't
see how any thinking American can
keep himself neutral. Liberty and
every other American ideal are in
volved in this war"
Asked by a minister, when may we
begin to pray for peace? ," Dr.. Eliot an
swered: when Germany is driven
