Two New York Families Almost
Wiped Out
ONLY cNE OF PARTY ESCAPES
Or. Gee -Je n. MCGUIRE, A Wealthy
Physi~ an OF The Bronx, His
VIE, Son And Daughter
Among The Victims.

New York.-Two New York fam.
lilies were almost wiped out when
seven persons were instantly killed,
when a large touring car, in which
they we're returning to this city from
Newburg, N. Y, plunged over 20
foot embankment near Dobbs Ferry
in q binding thunderstorm and PIN
ioned them beneath the wreckage.
The eighth member of the party, a
boy of IL years, il in Dobbs Ferry
Hospital in a critical condition. He
lost his father, mother, brother and
sister in the crash.
The dead are: DR.. George H. Nc
CURE, 45 years old, wealthy physi-
clan. Of 2519 Creston avenue, the
Bronx. Mrs. Florence MCGUIRE, his
wife; AZ years old. George H. Nc.
0uire, Jr., son; Is years old. May
Mcclure, daughter; 13 years old. John
Hawley, of 2437 Valentine avenue, the
Bronx. Mrs. John ]. Hawley, his wife.
Edward Mulrooney, Is years old, OF
Nineteenth street and Morris avenue,
q son Of Police Captain Mulrooney, of
the West One Hundred and Fifty-sec-
ond Street Station. The only sur.
vivor of the party is Francis Mcclure
II years old, son of the physician.
As far as can be ascertained, the
party journeyed to q point near New
burg yesterday to take one Of DR..
McGuire's sons from the school he
was attending there.
It had been planned to return with
him to the MCGUIRE home, in the
Bronx, where weekend party had
been planned.
At the Creston avenue address.
sister of the doctor. said they were
expected home with the son, who is
student at q boarding school near
Newburg. She said the first she heard
of the fatal accident was when a po-
liceman called at her house and told
her of It.. She knew none Of the de-
tails, she said.
She made one correction In the
names Of those killed, however. In
the early reports It was said that one
Of the boys killed was Edward Ma
roney. But she declared that this boy
was Edward Mulrooney, son Of Po-
lice Captain Mulrooney.
On the return trip the physician
was driving his big touring car along
Dock Hill, near Dobbs Ferry. At
this point the road forks, the highway
to the left leading toward New York
and the other in the direction of Dobbs
Ferry toward the railway station and
the coal yard Of Besson & Co.
It is presumed that in the binding
storm which swept the district at
about the time the big machine
reached the fork, the physician took
the wrong road and had proceeded
some distance before realizing his
mistake.
Near the railway station the road
takes a couple Of sharp turns before
coming to concrete bridge over
sunken road, which is about 20 feet
below the main highway. This bridge
is protected by an iron railing.
Either the heavy machine skidded
on the wet pavement, or DR.. MCGUIRE,
realizing that he was on the wrong
road enGeavored to turn the car
around to return to the fork whep
the accident occurred.

Frauleins Go Back
To Country Homes

BERLIN -(By Mail.)-They came

pretty, blonde frauleinr to whom the
country town meant only drudgery.
The "fatherland" called them. 1t
would be wonderful to help the
"fatherland" ia its time of need, and
then, too, it would be splendid to
see what the big city of Berlin was
like and to get wartime wages.
Now, they are going back to the
little town or to the farm-forced
out of he city by the hand of the law.
They say it is a hard law; the gov
eminent says it is humane since it
makes way for the people who have
been out in field gray fighting, or
perhaps languishing in foreign pris-
on camps.
But the women folk, now enamour-
ed of city life and dreading the grind
of life in the small town or in the
country-or perhaps even worse fac
ing of unemployment-are rebellious.
Their rebellion does them no good,
however.
The police authorities are calling
them in daily now. They must show
their official cards. If they were in
Berlin before the mobilization days
Of 1914, they may consider them
selves residents of the city. But

A Concrete Boat

Parsley Mail.)-France has
just launched on the Siene at Neuilly
near Paris, the "Comafran H." the
second of her fleet of sea-going mer-
chantmen built out of REINFORCED
concrete.
AS the boats are not only able to
cross the English channel and engage
in coastwise trade but are also able
TO navigate the Seine as far as Rar1s
as well as other large French water
ways, the whole fleet isibeing rushed
to completion as quickly as possible
In the hope of tiding over Frances

the winter.
The boats, which were originally
designed for the coa1-carrying trade,
are able to load at an English port
and bring their cargo direct to Paris
and other big French distribution and
consumption centers without unload
ing or transferring. The saving in
time, labor and railway transporta-
ton is enormous.
The entire fleet is being built on
the same model and the Comafran H.,
which will be prototype of the
mall is equipped with an auto-motor
for the present. Later on 1t will
have two motors run by oil and will
be refitted so that 1T can undertake

Engineer S Jam Hunger
Almost Caused Vessel
To Founder In Midsea

NEW YORK. - The passenger

engineer worried about jam" for his

Myers, general traffic manager of

the vessel Saturday. The ship was
towed into port after a belated voy-
age from Kingston, Jamaica.
When the liner reached port the
fires were out and the ten passen-
gers and So members of the crew
were suffering from cold. Their
only source Of heat was from sew
eral small oil stoves. With sthe aid
of these, and by exercising and
drinking up the ships rum supply,
they had managed to keep warm
since last Tuesday, he said.
The trouble began about $50 miles

nary, old jam, to spread on his
bread" said Meyers. "There was
plenty of marmalade, but he wasn't
satisfied and soon the first note grew
into tune"
Things happened thick and fast"
the traffic manager explained. First
the ship began to list because bilge
water had accumulated, and THE
bilge pumps were stopped while the
chief engineer worried about JAM"
Then something went wrong with
the oil feed to the fires, he declared,
and "the first thing anybody knew
the ship was out of control"
