HUNDREDS HURT
SUBWAY ACCIDENT

Underground Cars Stall; PASSENGERS
Panic Stricken. A Short. Circu;tcd
Cable.
New York, Jan. 6.--The worst acci-
dent in ten years history Of New York
subway occurred during the rush
hours early today, when seven hundred
passengers in two stalled trains were
stricken with panic in the darkened
tubes, by dense smoke and fumes from
short-circuited cable. In the strug
gle to escape some two hundred per
sons were injured, one, a woman, ia
tally. Others, overcome, were rescued
unconscious, by police and flremun
while scores struggled to the street
unnerved or hysterical, their cloth
ing torn and faces blackened by smoke
The city tonight was in the throes
of transportation blockade without
parallel In its history. 1t was not un-
til late in the afternoon that a wheel
again turned in the subway, and then
only limited local service was main
tanned. The hundreds Of thousands
of passengers the subway ordinarily
carries We're diverted to elevated and
surface lines, and when the home
bound rush began tonight neither sys-
TEN had adequate facilities. There
were no subway trains running to
RrnOklvn n
ity, concentrated at Brooklyn Bridge,
prolonged the rush hour period for
two hours in struggle to board
trains and cars.
The accident occurred between the
5Oth and 59th street stations, and call
ed>out virtually the entire fire and am
bulance service on Manhattan Island.
The two trains, an express and a To-
cal, both packed, came to a stop mid
way between the stations and the
lights went out. A large feed cable
had blown out in its conduit, some fif-
ty yards distant, and soon the cars
were filled with fumes OF burning
rubber. This soon grew unbearable
and 1t took little to start panic in
the darkness,
The demands Of some of the pas
sengers that the doors be opened were
refused by the guards, it was said,
rights ensued and there soon was in
progress on both trains a desperate
struggle to get out
When the first of the panic c-stricken
passengers reached the street the re-
port spread that many had been killed.
Police and firemen quickly reached
the scene and although it was at length
established that the reports were ex-
aggerated, they were busy more than
three hours In the rescue work. They
found IN the trains many passengers,
mostly women, half asphyxiated. 9th
ers had collapsed On the floor of tube
Some were brought up by ladders
through manholes and some through
ventilating apertures in the street.
Nearby theatres and stores were
used as temporary hospitals. Some
OF the injured were reported in a seri-
GUS condition tonight Miss Ella
Brady the only person to lose her
life, died In an ambulance. The lives
OF several were undoubtedly saved by
the use of pulmotors, physicians said.
investigations to fix the blame for
the accident were at once started bv
District Attorney Perkins and the pub
lie service commission.
General Manager Hcdley, Of the IN
terborough, said tonight that no in
vention had been developed to prevent
short circuiting and that a similar ac-
cidcnt might occur at any time.

 AND DAY AT FLORENCE
CFrom Thursdays Daily.)

One year and day in the StatS penitentiary t Florence was the sen tence pronounced By Judge Smitl late yesterday afternoon on Nal Galich, an Austrian who had pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with < deadly weapon.
 Before sentence was given Attor ney H. NJ. Globes, for the defendant in his argument for lienency for Galich, tried to show that he wa feebleminded and was not respon sible. Galich short time ago changed his plea from one of not guilty to :. charge of assault with intent to com init murder to one of guilty to the charge for which he has been sen fenced, believing in that manner tha. he would be able to obtain a sentence of between three and six months on the county roads.
 Developments yesterday showed, dSNOl NillS tO JuuSN OllilAll' Ll1L T. would not be safe to allow the de fendant on the roads for fear that he might commit a more serious act, The Austrian, when examined, did not know how long he had been in the United States and in contradiction to statement of his brother who claimed he had gone to school for three years, he said he had only at tended an educational institution for six months.
 Galich is P years old and his broth CT declared that since he has been in the United States he has been sul- len and does not speak much. His brother also said that he had been rejected by lodge in Jerome after being examined. Globes did n0t claim that Galich was insane but said he was not sane.

SPECIAL EVENTS AT
 THE SAN DIEGO FAIR

SAN DIEGO, Sept 8-Exceedine expectations the August attendance at the exposition reached total oi 229,604, according to statement is sued today. This total represents a daily average attendance of 7,407 for the month.
 It had not been expected that Au- gust would be such profitable month or that the attendance would reach such high figure. This fore cast was reached when July's high total of 301,937 was thought of-a total created by the large crowds at tending the July 4 celebration. In August there was an absence of spe, cial events and big celebrations SC that the attendance was from those who came to see the exposition for its regular attractions alone.
 Labor Day celebration will be close ly followed by the Admission Day program on September 9. Just two days later will come Moving Pic ture Day that will call a gathering of film people and fans from the western slope.
 Colonel George w. Goethels, of Panama canal fame, has informed Exposition President c. A. David son that he will be here September II and that he will remain four days. William Howard Taft, former presi- dent, will be an exposition visitor September 16 and Y, and has con scntcd to make an address on the first day.
 Aside from the railroads pouring great crowds into Southern Califor- mia there has been marked increase in motor travel. It is believed that the heaviest motor travel will come in this month and in October. The transcontinental railroads will shortly begin special excursions from the farming sections The first of these will leave the middle west shortly af- ter the harvest period.

CROSS COUNTRY
 RAILROAD IS PROBABLE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

NFTOm 1nurSQdH Odily'J
 The reconnaissance trip of H. C. Corey, of the industrial department of the Santa Fe, with H. A. Geisen- dorfer, of the Bagdad Copper Com pany, over territory to be covered by a railroad, it was semi-officially stat ed yesterday by an official of tlfe railway, means practically the matur- ing of old plans to build this road, and is undertaken for the purpose of ascertaining if industrial conditions will support this big outlay of capi' tai.
 It is also believed that early con struction has been decided upon, and the field movements of the represen- tatives of the Santa Fe and the min ing company have significant bear ing to this end.
 The route practically decided ugou will begin at Bouse, on the A. & C., and terminate at Seligmhn, on the main line of the Santa te. Inter vening country to be tapped will be Swansea, the Copper creek country, where the Bagdad has immense hold ings, the Hillside mines, and the vast timber belt to the south of Seligman, with other resources in lands, cattle, and a mining field of excellent possi' bilities. It is also believed this route will provide a shorter main line haul to the coast, and on what IS stated to be low line grade with a main tenance cost far below that of the long elbow on the present main line out of Seligman to Needles. The taking over of the Swansea railroad out of Bouse 26 miles long, will also be consummated. The length of the proposed road will be over 100 miles

FATHER RESCUES
 DAUGHTER FROM DROWNING
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

lTTOnl WculltSQdy DdllJ)
 Mir. and Mrs. Washington Graydon, who arrived in Prescott on Monday afternoon by train, give thrilling account of the narrow escape from death by drowning of their daughter, Miss Emelinc Graydon, while they were approaching the Arizona boun- diary line in New Mexico in auto last Thursday afternoon.
 They had stopped to prepare a lunch within about 50 yards of a deep ravine, when Miss Graydon con- cluded to gather some wild flowers. She turned around the rugged point, and a few minutes later her parents ] heard screams. The father rushed to the place and was mortified to sec his daughter being carried down the stream. A cloudburst had occurred somewhere above, as the gulch was as dry as a bone below and near the camping place. Wading in up to his arm pits, Mir Graydon with hercu- lean effort grabbed his daughter by an outstretched arm and effected her rescue from what would have been serious injury or probably death.
 The young lady stated she was caught by the flood unawares, and as the time was going across the gulch to the opposite side to pick some wild peoples. At that particu- lar locality the gulch winds around at a sharp angle, and when in a stooping position to pick flower the wall of water, over five feet high. came rushing on. She was carried for over so feet into clump of mes quite bushes, and this good luck saved her life. Within 10 minutes af- terward the ravine was again dry. and the water mark left would indi. cate a depth across for a distance Of B feet of about four feet.
 Miss Graydon is 12 years old and the family were travelling Tn auto from near Fort Smith, Ark, their destination being the Buckeye coun- try. in Maricopa county, to visit, and probably locate. They left the car at a station, being advised that cloud bursts were occurring along the road they were travelling. MT. Graydon was a visitor to Prescott over third of & century ago, when his uncle, Alexander Graydon was head black smith of the government at Fort Whipple. The young lady has fully recovered from her experience, but shows many slight injuries made by catclaws to her head and hands when she was thrown into the mesquite bushes.
