ALL INJURED IN YESTERDAYS
SUBWAY FIRE AND PANIC WILL
RECOVER.
.0NE WOMAN IS DEAD
Many Miraculous Escapes as Hun
dreds Passengers Of Two Subway
Trains Fought to Gain Freedom Of
Streets Above.

New York, Jan. Seventy persons
are still in hospitals today from yes
! terday's subway accident. All, how
J ever, will recover. The death list
still remains at one, being woman
who died in an ambulance en- route
TO a. hospital
The accident was described by the
police as the worst in the history OF
subway. For a time the authorities
considered blowing up sections of the
street on either side of the scene
of the accident to let fresh air into
the tube. AS it was. gangs of men
We're set 10 work with flame blowing
pipes blowing holes in the concrete.
while Others worked with pickaxes.
Fire Chief Kenlon said when his
men entered the two trains they
found many of the passengers in
their seats unconscious, others lying
in the aisles, and everywhere was
evidence of terrific panic, The
floors were strewn with hats and
torn clothing. Stlll other passengers
We're found lying on the ground by
the tracks.
Two hundred persons in all were
taken to the Polytechnic, with one
exception, none had been fatally in
jured
As the result of the accident the
city was last night in the throes of
a transportation blockade without
parallel in its history.
The hundreds of thousands of pas
sengers the subway ordinarily carries
were diverted to the elevated and
surface systems and when the home
bound rush began neither system had
adequate facilities to accommodate
the tremendous crowds. There were
no subway trains at all running to
Brooklyn, and dense mass of hu-
manity, concentrating at the Brook
lyn bridge, prolonged the rush hour
period for two hours in struggle to
board trains and cars.
The management OF the INTERIOR

prepared TO guarantee that a normal
schedule would be restored today

The entire command of the Ninth

field met at O'Clock Wednesday after
noon in the commercial club rooms al

flied, there being good attendance
of producers.
Writ Franklin, president of the Pro
ducers' Association, acted as chair
man, and Mark kirkpatrick. secretary
of the association, kept the minutes
object of Meeting.
| Mr., Franklin stated the object OF
the meeting to be to give considera
tion to some correspondence which
| had passed recently between the pro
ducers and the pipe line people. and
to determine what shall be done with
reference to disposng of the produc-
tion of the field. He recounted the
| tentative proposition reported in the
oil columns of the Ardmoreite few
| days ago, in which the producers asso-
! citation through Commissioner Hen
| shaw, made a proposition to accept
4Oc for oil provided the pipe line would
run not less than $4,000 barrels a day.
He also read a reply from Col. Greer,
attorney for the Magnolia pipe Line
| Company, in which 1t was stated that
| the company could not run that much
oil. that ii did not have storage facili-
ties to care for it, and spoke of the
purchases the company is making in
the Cushing field. In this correspond
ence Col Greer did offer TO run 1000
barrels day for three months begin
ming February !, at SOC a barrel sub
ject to the duties imposed upon the
line as a common carrier. This meant
that if the price was reduced to soc
and no one offered oil to be carried
through the lines, that the company
would take 1900 barrels a day.
After stating the object OF the meet
ing Mr.. Franklin expressed his views
of the situation confronting the pro
ducers. He said, the concession to sell
oil at 40c was concession enough, that
in his opinion the company would not
take any more oil at soc than they
would take at 40c. There Is no place
on earth now where oil is selling as
low as soc. Gulf coast oil, worth much
less than Healdton oil, Is selling above
this price. We must show the Mag.
nolia people that we cannot be intimi.
dated. This case is analogous to hold
ing a man up on the street and taking
his money He favored the field re-
naming as it is with SOC oil even. but
little of it Is being taken. Mr.. Frank
lin said the field was in a deplorable
condition now, but the situation Is a
temporary one. Gushing fell off re-
Gently 10000 barrels in one day. The
old field there is falling off fast. The
Legislature is in session now, and the
speaker expressed the belief that the
corporation commission would be CIV
en- power. to conserve the oil and stop
the waste and put an end to such
low prices. He said the bill now being
