Seven passenger elevators--three eN-
Green Building II Broadway, dropped
suddenly to the main floor about l
o'clock yesterday afternoon when the
big li-inch iron intake pipe leading from
tie elevator cylinders to the high pres
sure tanks in the basement burst inc
temporarily flooded the basement with
"A foot Of running water.
one elevator. which was at the ground
floor when the others dropped, rose TO
the fourth floor and stuck there. What
phenomenon caused this could not he
explained. The superintendent thought
the break in the pipe WAS caused by sub
way blasting on Broadway.
About thirty persons were in the eleva-
tors al the time. The cars were at
heights varying from the third to the
sixteenth floor, but no one was hurt,
though some OF the women In the eleva-
tors were badly frightened.
Fortunately for the passengers. it was
the intake pipe from the hydraulic pres
sure tanks which burst. AS soon as
the upward pressure on the cylinders
ceased, the elevators descended, but the
water remaining in the discharge pipe
discharged almost normally, The eleya-
tors descended swiftly and landed with
"A considerable thud, but that was all.
one Of the cars, dropping from the four
teenth floor, was stopped nj the tenth
floor by the operator. who thrust "A pas
senger's cane into the clutch, The five
passengers alighted before the car de-
scended TO the ground floor.
A great deal of excitement followed
the accident. due mostly to tho influx
Of a crowd of curious persons from the
street and scores OF persons anxious TO
reach the upper floors OF the building.
The entire elevator service was crippled
all afternoon. Persons wanting to reach
offices on any of the sixteen floors had
to walk up or use the elevators In No.
Broadway, cross the roof at the twelfth
floor and enter IL Broadway In that
way.
Supt. G. II, Haig had the building
employees and the Otis Elevator Com
pany at work repairing the break in 4
few minutes. Meanwhile the elevator
operators directed people to the stairs.

insisted that this provision was purely
legislative and not constitutional. and II
would be "A great calamity in the Con-

for twenty years.
THE general feeling Is. as we UNDER

Of men on a jury and not a rule of law.
THE responsibility belongs on the
State and not on II jury to determine the
punishment. and the jury should only

long distance race, thereby bringing

the tricks exposed are despicablc. We
hope they are introduced merely as

meant for the wide public that uses
