Blast of Dynamite in Sub way Causes Block Long
 Cave in in Street.
SIX PERSONS DEAD
 AND 100 INJURED
More Than 100 People. Many of Them Women and Children, EnguIfed. and Lives Threatened by Gas
 and Water.

New York, Sept. 22.-Six persons ot&ars injured today when a dyna- mite blast in a partly constructed section of the Seventh avenue subway Gaus q an rntrc block of pay ment to cave in, engulfing crewd d trolley car, a heavy truck and many pedes- trians.
 A number of laborers at work in the excavation wer2 buried under tens of q bris Scventy-eight per sons, a considerable portion of them being women and girls on their way to busine ss, were on the surface car which dropped 30 feet in;o the ex- Cavation and was partly buried under concrete, rails, h2avy timbers, dirt and rocks.
 Only One Identified. Th dcad are: Louis Krugman, p years old, a pass nger on the car; an unidentified woman about 60 years cid, a passenger, who was apparently on her way tc work; four laborers. TAn acciJcnt occurred shortly be- fore o'clock and more than half of the injured wero women and girls on l their W 10 business. There were 7S passengers cn the | trolley car which dropped 15 feet into 1 the subway excavation when the en- | tire block on Seventh avenue betWeen TwIsn y-feurth and Twenty-fifth streets collapsed Although the car remained upright.Syt was partly bur- i'd under an avalanche of concrete, rails, timbers and earth, and many of tn passengers were severely crushed. Persons whc were in a large office building close to WAere the car went down said there was a great roar as tn pavem mt and portions of the sidewalk sank. This was followed a moment later by cries of the passen- gers and of pedestrains who were either thrown into the excavation or knocked down.
 Fight Frantically for Freedom.
 Men and women smashed the car windows with their hands in an eff fort to escape, witnesses said, while l ped astrains who had been thrown into the hole struggled to avoid the falling debris and regain the street level
 Police reserves were called out, two fir alarms were turned in and 15 ambulances with thirty surgeons were rushed to the scene.
 The hospital corps of large cloak and suit house directly opposite the cave-in also turned out.
 The cave-in broke water and gas mains and within few minutes after the accident heavy flows of gas and water threatened the lives of the 100 or more persons in the excavation. Prcmp, work by city employees in shutting eff the flow of water and gas in tho broken mains put an end to this danger.
 Fifty Injured Taken Out In Hour.
 Within an hour more than 50 in- jured persons had been removed. Two of these, a man and woman, died on the way to hospitals, and another woman, was reported by surgeons as dying.
 Nearly all of the victims were se- riously injured. many Having broken arms and legs.
 Vincent de Paul's church said he ad- ministered the last rites to three young girls who were dying. Dr. Wolfe of the United States Realty company told the police that there were about 700 or 800 workmen in the excavation at the time of the cave-in.

The undersigned citizens, merchants

this Honorable Body against the pro-

sent the following reasons:

figuring to the thoroughfare.
2-Such signs are deceptive and cal
culated to mislead the public, and
