Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, Dec 6-Hundreds of
homes near the Fort Hamilton section
of Brooklyn virtually were under
heavy artillery bombardment result.
ing from intermittent explosions of
six-inch and ten-inch shells on steam
lighter, which caught fire while
moored to the army reservation
wharf.
Gathering together their belongings
in belief that the naval arsenal at
Fort Lafayette, a small island near
Fort Hamilton, was ablaze, terrified
scores fled their homes for safer
zones, driven to frenzied haste by the
series of detonations which were
heard for miles around.
An official statement from Fort
Hamilton said no lives had been lost
and that only four persons had been
slightly injured.
One of the terrifying incidents of
the barrage was the 400-yard flight of
ten-inch shell clear over the reser-
walton and into a house in Fort Ham
iltOn parkway. -
The projectile tore huge hole in
the roof of the dwelling, passed
through two floors and buried itself
in the cellar. The house, occupied by
the family of August Galtern, all of
whom escaped injury, was shaken
with the violence of an earthquake.
The lighter, Amackissan, which was
laden with shells for shipment to Bos-
ton, was torn from its mOorings by
the violence of the first explosion.
Two men were on board, but they. es-
capped.
The naval tug Samoset soon reached
the scene, and in desperate effort to
prevent the flames from spreading to
the wharf, Ensign Benjamin Sucker,
commanding officer, deliberately
headed his craft for the blazing light
er and its exploding cargo.
He stuck her nose against the side
of the lighter and pushed her away
to a sand bar in imminent peril of his
own craft being blown from the wa
| ter.
The naval tug had scarcely with
drawn when a heavy explosion oc-
Cured which tore the lighter apart.
The glare from the exploding oam-
munition and the flames from the
burning wharf illuminated the lower
harbOr, and attracted thousands to
the Brooklyn and Staten island water
| fronts.
AS explosion followed explosion,
and the danger to craft passing the
Narrows between Fort Hamilton and
Fort Wadsworth grew menacing
"blinker light" signals were flashed
from the Notifications warning mar
iners to give the threatened area q
wide berth.
Soldiers from Fort Hamilton were
dispatched from the residential sec
ton to allay panic.
The proximity of the naval arsenal
at Fort Lafayette with it's stores OF
high explosives and inflammable ma
terial, was a source of intense worry
to fire fighters.
AS the blazing lighter and its ex'
| ploding shells broke away from the
wharf and began to drift in the di-
rection of the arsenal the crews OF
navy tugs and municipal fire boats
redOubled their energies.

PRIVATE OPERATION ON TRIAL

(From The New York WORLDLY
Senator Arthur Capper tele-
graphs to The Evening World from
Wichita, Kan, that that State has
35,000,000 bushels of last years
wheat crop still in farmers bins
and small elevators, and this is
little less than half of the whole
Kansas yield. He says that to move
this old stock of wheat would re-
quire 4S0 cars every day for sixty
days, while in fact the shortage of
cars is so great that fifty elevators
on recent day could get only
seven empty cars.
This is like unto the situation as
to car supply at the coal mines.
Plenty of wheat and plenty of coal
at the sources of supply, and great
scarcity and famine prices every
where else-but no cars to bring
the two ends together.
Is this because there is an aetna
deficiency in the supply of cars
William B. Colver of the Federal
Trade Commission has lately STAT
ed that there are plenty of cars for
all these and others needs now in

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES

Business success paralleled his
political achievements and through
his own efforts Cox has amaSSed
a fortune. Mr.. Cox became the
leader OF the Democratic party in
Ohio IN 1912 when he was nomi-
mated for governor. AS one who
had brought radical changes In the

election. But his party renominat.
ed him in 1916 and he was re-elect-
ed for third term in 1918, being
the only Democrat TO win in Ohio.

and child labor law which have
been extensively copied by other

under Governor CoH's direction,

achievements.
Mr.: Cox was born in Butler com.
