KILLS
W0MEN'S CADDY
Strikes Among Great Neck
PIayers-Bolts Slay 8
Others in Storm.

The lightning of yesterdays storm,
which took four lives in and near this
city, played its grimmest freak on the
GOLF course of the Great Neck Golf
and Country Club.
Despite the gathering clouds, the
contestants in Complementary
match were striving to hole out be-
fore the rain came. In the group OF
players and spectators were Mrs
Oscar Lewisohn. who was Edna May;
Mrs. William Hodge, Mrs. Charles
Goddard, Mrs. Wallace Eddinger, wife
Of member of the Boomerang
company. and Mrs. Joshua Goblin.
Mrs. Lewisohn and Mrs. Goddard
were tied for first place in the match,
and had both played up to the put
ting green. Felix Jacobus, their
caddy, skipped ahead of them, lifted
the flag from the hole, and stood
aside for them 70 make their puts.

The caddy's body was carried into
the garage of the club. Jacobus was
twenty-one years old, and had fire.
ouently acted as caddy for Jerome
Travers. The tournament has been
postponed for a week.
While the lightning of the violent
storm took but four lives. the intense
heat that preceded the rain had to its
credit a total of at least ten deaths
and thirty prostrations.
Wires and washouts along the New
York, New Haven & Hartford and the
Long Island branch of the Pennsyl-
vania delayed traffic. New York Central
trains were slow. Long distance service
Of the telephone company was disar-
ranged. Wires between here and Chi
cago are down. Western Union lines
were damaged by lightning.

accidents.

FRENCH LEADERS
IN AIR FIGHTING
Allied Aviators Actually
Cooperate with In
fantry in Battles.

Dompierre, Picardy, July 13.-A
string of great balloons-one can count
sixteen without glssses-is the first
thing a reporter sees on this front.
Next his eyes wander to the uncount-
able batteries in action. Above them
the aerial telephone stations swing be-
yond the trajectory of the German gun
fire.
On the German side not a single bal
loon is visible. Fifteen have been
burned in the air by a secret con-
trivance, known only TO the Allies,
since the offensive began. The German
artillery is blinded because the Allies
have now obtained the mastery of the
air, according 10 the confident claims OF
the British and French officers. II is
true that, from this point Of view, q
German aeroplane is rarely sighted,
while French aviators are constantly
on the wing.
A dramatic and startling novelty has
been presented by the Allied aviators
in this great offensive. French and
British airmen have actually cooperat-
ed in infantry charges. They have
swept over the battlefield at as low an
altitude as 500 feet, and some of the
more daring have swooped over the
struggling armies at as low as 300
feet. These airmen have signalled TO
the French artillery telephoners the
precise positions of the German guns
and the German forces waiting for the
French assault. They have taken great
risks of being hit by the shells of their
own guns, but, according TO the Off
GERS, every one has escaped.
The French have developed on great
scale their aerial torpedoes, which are
charged with a higher explosive than
the large calibred she'll. These torpe.
does can be hurled half mile and fired
with such rapidity that second Will
leave the ejector while the first Is still
in the air.
The village of Dompierre is hardly
more than a name. The resistance made
by the Germans here, as IN all the
other villages in the nelghborhood
seems to have been most tenacious
In the cemetery the vaults were used
as bombproofs, and the stones and iron
ratings around the graves as barri'
cades The French concentrated theii
gun fire on the cemetery 1t Curlu FOL
half an hour before the obstinate de-
fence Of the Germans was crushed.
They used shrapnel shells, which filled
the air with curious green, opalescen'
vapors.
Reorganizing the defences in the oc-
cupied territory is vast engineering
work. Light field railroads are thrown
forward to the new line, numerous
solid roads are built across the coun-
try and the ring of hammer on metal
can be heard in the intervals Of artil-
lery fire. The whole region is busy
with preparations for holding the newly
won ground and for moving forward.
The controlling mind of all this is
General Marie-Emile Fayolle, an elderly
artillery commander. who had been re-
tired two years before the war began.

WIDOW ENDS LONG
HUNT FOR SLAYER
Says She Has Kept Vow to
Catch Man Who Shot
Her Husband.

A little woman sat yesterday with
her dimpled baby on her lap and smiled
for the first time in two months. Once
she even laughed, all because, as the
result of her long search, the man who
she is sure killed her husband, Harry
Laznicky, on May 20, was safely behind
prison bars, and her vow never to rest
night or day until she found him was
fulfilled.
Mrs. Jennie Laznicky, twenty -four,
told Of how her husband met his death
and how she set out to keep her vow.
She told how she and her twenty
seven year old husband were having
dinner at the home of her mother, Mrs.
Esther McNally, 14l4 Second Avenue,
when her brother ran upstairs and told
Laznicky some boys were cranking up
his taxi and were ready to steal it. The
husband, a chauffeur, owning his own
taxi, jumped from the table and, kiss
ing his baby as he passed his wife,
rushed downstairs.
Heard Fatal Shot.
"Not five minutes after that heard
tw Shots" said Mrs. Laznicky. ut
seemed that when Harry got to the
street he found seventeen-year-old
Jimmy O'Brien cranking up the car,
and he told him to get away. What
ever the boy said must have insulted
him, for he ran after Jimmy and gave
him a good slap. In crowd of young
fellows standing near was Happy Jack
Dougherty. My two brothers say
Dougherty interfered with Harry. Then
when he was getting the worst OF 1t,
N said, he pulled out a revolver and
shot Harry dead.
But Dougherty knew what he was
doing. There was many cold night,
when | was a small girl, that he
wouldn't have had anything to eat If
it hadn't been for my mother. I've
even shared the dinner from my own
plate with the creature who killed my
husband.

attendant on weak, disarranaed or Clogged-

entire, pain-racked body into normal condi-
ton and give vigorous health after the many

wax and Its continued use should soon tone
up the entire system OF improperly working
organs and give the desire to live and enjoy
life TO Its fullest.
