CAVE.IN BURIES CREW
OF SUBWAY DIGGERS
Score of WOrkmen Slightly
Hurt. One Seriously.

A hundred workmen employed in
digging the new subway through East
crn Parkway, Brooklyn, worked des-
pcrately for half an hour yesterday
to uncover score OF fellow laborers
who had been buried in an avalanche
Of rock and earth.
The workmcn we're burrowing IN the
excavation between Brooklyn and
Kingston avenues. when a great rock,
tottering for an instant on one Of the
entertainments, suddenly started on
downward course. Most OF the men
saw or heard the rock as it started to
roll and had time to leap to safety.
Twenty of the laborers. however, were
buried up to their necks in the earth
which the stone dislodged.
Anthony Massella was the only
workman who sustained injuries seri,
Gus enough to necessitate his removal
10 the Swedish Hospital. DR.. Paul
Clark was lowered into the excavation
In a dirt bucket. and treated all the
men for minor injuries. The trench
was 100 feet deep.

toms of Visitors.

Those primitive bathers who hang
their clothes on hickory limb, but
don't go near the water, are hereby
warned to avoid Coney Island. Sun
bathing, promenading in costumes that
are intended for service under water
only, and the heretofore fascinating
sport OF autoing from beach TO beach
in bathing attire, all are to be made
subjects OF fines this summer.
For Coney Islanders suddenly have
awakened to the fact that there is R
tidal wave Of immortality in that resort
each season. They have discovered,
also, that it threatens the morals Of
their children, and if permitted tc con-
tirue would make the locality an i'm
possible ono from the standpoint Of
all-thc-year residents.
Backed by ministers and real estate
owners, the Allied Realty Owners As
ISOLATION, of Coney Island. told the
Board of Aldermen's committee on gen
ersl welfare just what they had to put
up with when the sightseers made their
annual visit. They asked that an
amendment to the ordinance, relating
TO public bathing, be passed which
would make all of these indiscretions
impossible. Judging from the fact that
there was no opposition TO their plea
it is probable that police censors will
pass upon Coney Island bathing cos
tunes in future.

railroad description of the post. After
the supposedly dead mans actions
have caused many male operators to
resign, Helen is finally asked if she
will take the job, which she does.
Her first night ON the lonely vigil is

crazed operator, and she spends a
terrifying night while he pursues her.
In the morning she seems about to be
caught when he has pursued her to
the roof Of the station, but she leaps to
a freight train on a nearby track, and
from there to the ground. She sets OF
down the track, with her pursuer gain

The suspense is tense when she
seems halted at the river bank, owing
