WHITE HOUSE BOLT .STARTLES HARDING

Washington. July 15-A severe electrical storm this afternoon put most of Washington's electrical pow CT and lighting system out of com mission for several hours. One heavy bolt of lightning struck near the White House and startled President Harding as he admitted afterward.
 The effect of this bolt was very se- were, on the telephone wire leading into a sentry box in front of the Elk ecutive Offices twenty yards, from where President Harding was sitting at his desk,- and a policeman inside the box was literally thrown out He was not injured, but suffered from a numbness in his limbs.
 All the lights went out in the build ing opposite tEfe White House occu- pied by the State and War Depart ments- Oh~a1s and clerks had to suspend work as the heavy clouds brought darkness. Secretary Hughes was obliged to sign his mail by can delight The State Department all ways keeps candles on hand to melt the wax used in attaching seals to treaties.

STORMS MAKE
 TELEPHONE
 MUCH TROUBLE

Electrical storms, severe in their intensity and damage, recurring daily about the state for 'l5 consecn- tive days, occasional extremely h1gh winds in some sections, and the pro longed period of excessive humidity which has been general over Con- necticut for three weeks, has produc- ed a serious service problem for tho telephone company. A major DOT ton of telephone troubles in the past three weeks has been due to moisture seeping into Central office apparatus into cellars of homes and elsewhere where telephone wires are located, and creating an interference with the service which the telephone people cannot wholly overcome without the aid of a few days of dry weather.
 Every available telephone man has been put on trouble work and all Of them have labored from daylight tlli dark, with many working throughout the night, to restore service on cable failures, but they. have not been able to repair the damage as fast as 1t occurred.
 On 15 consecutive days. in late June and early July, there were Se- were rain storms, accompanied by lightning, in and about New Haven. At least once each day of this period lightning struck somewhere in the vicinity of that city, doing damage to the outside plant of the telephone company.
 Stamford, the Norwalks, and Bridgeport suffered SerV1ce trouDleS about the same time while during the first half of the current month. the northern section of the state, about New Canaan. Lakevi1le and Litch- field, has been visited by damaging storms. Hartford, Willimantic, Put nam and Norwich felt the same trou- b1e for period of several days.
 Interesting observations by the telephone people disclose that the present is the most prolonged period of intensely humid weather of which they have record. Further, the high humidity, instead of being local to the vicinity of the Sound shore, ex- tends much further inland than ever before for so long time, even pene- trating the elevated sections of the state where the air generally remains reasonably dry despite the fact that the sky may be cloudy.
 The service troubles of the tele- phone company are cumulative in such weather. Before the breaks oc- curing during one storm could be repaired and service restored, along came another storm with further service interference somewhere in the state and all the time the trouble due to saturated central office ap- paratus, and moist lines in cellars of subscribers has been growing in ex- tent. Hundreds of telephone lines have been put out of commission by the unruly elements

In discussing the expected chance in the local postmastership people of this town have much praise for Post master Burr. Assuming office when conditions were more or less n1uddied MT.

It is to be hoped that the new postmaster will keep LID the good service carried on by the pres ent postmaster.
 The game tomorrow by the Fairfield ball tossers has promise of good exhibition. The boys always man age to give good account of them selves.
 More or less wonder is forthcoming at the inactivity of the towns officials on tro1ley-jitney service. No word has come from the town hall to pro- tect local transportation. As a prominent citizen says, they should take the initiative and protect the jitneys which are the best means of transportation through the town.

ENDURANCE IS
 CONTRADICTORY

The hearing conducted by Coroner John J. sPhelan yesterday afternoon into the death of Frederick Harman. i've, of 830 State street, brought out a great deal of contradictory evidence, The little lad was killed about 3 o'clock Wednesday evening when struck by a truck belonging to Mich olas Cri1lo, New Haven as the boy was attempting to cross the street near Iranistan avenue.
 - The boys father was in a. store on State street at this point and the boy IS said to have been on an. errand when he was struck. A car standing at the curb may have hidden the ap- preaching car from view, and pre- vented the driver of the offending truck from seeing him. Edward Jor- dan, 16, of 1S2 Mountain Grove street was an important witness He is a clerk in the store, and believes the parked machine was indirectly the cause for reasons above stated, of the fatality.
 Another witness was Mabel Wells, 39, Of 275 Hanover street, and her tes- timony almost directly contradicted that of Jordan. The coroner will make known his finding in a few days.

Valuable Lesson Contained
 In Triple Tragedy

blew in the sisters ears, so the siren was unheard.
 Thoroughly alarmed, as he saw that his mother and aunts didn't turn toward him, and realizing, as young as he was, that the tide was rising higher and higher. and that soon they would be unable to reach shore, the little fellow. sobbing and lbreathless, started to run home, knowing some how that something was wrong.
 And the poor little chap ran and ran and ran, feeling that he would never reach his grandfather's house. Five miles is a long way for tiny legs to run, and little Robbie was exhausted when he finally reached home Pitifully he told his tidings and husband and father rushed back to the beach-too late.
 It is not hard to imagine what happened. It's simply the age-old story of taking chances. The three peril, or unmindful of it, continued clamming. Why at least one didn't realize the velocity of the wind, and the swiftness of the tide; why at least that were to be eaten for supper, why at least one didn't think of pos s1ble holes and danger spots that abound in every beach-these- things H.
 And because of carelesSness or thoughtlessness three homes are left desolate, three husbands are left dis consulate to comfort five children, ranging in age fIom one to seventeen. And an old fathe.. in the evening of life suffers this triple loss that has all but bowed him down.
 And this afternoon, in the under taking parlors of Charles Fable at Westport, at the triple funeral for Mrs. Josephine Mills, Mrs. Lllie Lockwood and Mrs. Nellie Marks, the curtain fell on one of the worst tragedies that has ever happened in Connecticut waters.
 The lesson in this tragedy, to fur nish which the three victims paid so dearly, is obvious. Be careful The waters, be they ever so smiling and a1luring, are deceitfu1, and are for ever seeking whom they may devour. Watch the tidesl Don't go in deep water unless an expert swimmer, and
 even then. be cautious. If Mrs Lock wood Mrs. Marks and Mrs Mills had been careful and watchful this terrible tragedy of tears would never have happened.

French Aviator Up
 Nearly Seven Miles

Paris, July 16-Lieutenant Kirsch, the French aviator who last year was a contestant in the James Gordon Bennett Cup race at Etampes, is de- 10, 500 metres (about 34,76S feet) yesterday in an attempt to break the worlds altitude record
 Although the official worlds alu- tude record, made by Major R. w. Schroeder of the United States Army at Dayton, Ohio, on February 27, 1920, is only SS,O0O feet, it is thought probable that the Aero Club Kirsch's record
 Lieutenant Kirsch started his flight at Le Bourget Aviation Field, near Paris, and landed at Chanpau- bert, Department of the Marne, more than 100 miles northeast of Paris, when engine trouble compelled him to descend.
 During his flight the aviator noted zero, while thermometers in Paris registered S7 degrees above.
 Major Schroeder in making his height registered by his instruments of S6.020 feet. This was corrected, when the official height was com puted, to S3.0o0 feet. Allowing for correction in the instruments of Lieu tenant Kirsch, it is probable that he didi not exceed the official record made by Major Schroeder.
 At the Dayton flight Major Schroe- der reached a temperature of 67 de- grees below zero. That was about seven miles up. On the descent his oxygen supply became exhausted and Ee became unconscious, dropping six :zcilHS in two minutes. When he re- covered. 2000 feet above earth, one was numb, but he made a safe land ing
