WAR VETERANS RESCUE
VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION

More than 1900 people fed from
their homes, the neighborhood of Sew
entieth street and East End avenue,
in New York, last night when cylin-
der head in a refrigerating machine
at the Knickerbocker Ice Companys
plant blew out, releasing six hundred
thousand cubic feet of ammonia gas
Blinded, choking and half paralyzed
by the dense blanket OF acrid fumes,
they rushed out of doors and at one
time some sixty lay unconscious in
the streets.
Most of those overcome revived
quickly in the open air, but few
who suffered severely from inhalations
we're removed to hospitals in the
eleven ambulances summoned TO the
scene.
Infants in arms proved peculiarly
susceptible TO the gas, and they, as
we'll as many older persons caught
unawares in their beds in nearby ten
ements, would have died had it not
been for the gallant rescue work OF
veterans of the 18th Division = New
York's own. The region abounds in
young men of that division, as vel
as former marines, all members OF
Robert Kennedy Post of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars.

teen Americans who were killed when
the dirigihle ZR-2 fell into the Hum
ber, at Hull, England.
Far out at sea the Dauntless was
met by destroyer division of the
United States Navy. AS it neared port
the escort was augmented by fleet
of seaplanes, representing the arm OF
the service for which the victims gave
their lives. AS the funeral ship came
up the harbor the forts Numbered Il
salute, church bells tolled on the
Brooklyn and Staten Island shores and
passing craft dipped their colors in
reverential salute.
The Dauntless fired the national
salute of twenty-one guns as ii en-
tered the harbor The destroyers 6S
50, 20, II, ~ and 73 accompanied it
up the bay as far as Governors Island,
while seaplanes circled over the ship
until it docked at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
The fifteen coffins, wrapped in Am
erican flags and covered with flowers.
were visible on the after deck, sur
rounded by British marines with re-
versed arms. With their hands clasp
ed on the butts of the rifles and their
eyes fixed on the deck, the marines OF
this guard of honor remained motion
less form the time the cruiser en-
tered the bay until it dOcked in the
Navy Yard.
A bell tolled on the Dauntless as it
turned down from the East River into
the Navy Yard. A bugle sounded on
the Brazilian warship Minas Geraes
and the hundreds of Brazilian sailors
on board stood at attention. The
DauntIess, rounded the Brazilian ship
into Pier 3, where naval officers and
files of marines stood at attention.
When the ship was made fast her
cOlHldUQeT, Cdpi. OllDeTl DtepHeHsOu,
and his staff, together with the Amer
lean officers on board, took their
places near the ship end of the gang
way. A whistle sounded and the
British marine guard snapped into
present arms" A gangplank was
swung into place by crane and
British sailors carried the caskets TO
motor trucks on the pier. They were
taken to a shelter in the Navy Yard

Public Library which reopened on
Thursday held a meeting last night al
which one or two important measures

THIRD MEMBER OF
PARTY GETS AWAY

Caught with IL quarts OF whiskey in
their possession and suspected. there
fore, OF being followers of the profit
able profession of bootlegging, two
men who gave their names as John
T. Brady, Jr., and Frank I. Buckley,
were arrested last night by officer
John Holiday, of the Annapolis police
force, after a telephone message had
come to the police station from a
woman who said that the two men
were in a house near the corner OF
Washington and Clay streets The
police declined TO reveal the name of
the woman who gave the information.
In response TO the call 0fficer Hol-
liday went to the Clay street corner
and found two men sitting in an auto
mobile. He asked them what they
had in the automobile and was as
sured that there was nothing there
but themselves. When they were ask
ed to step out of the car, however,
and the seat was lifted the officer
found IL quarts of Pikesville whiskey
slowed away.
Both of the men expressed surprise
that there was liquor beneath the seat,
and decried all knowledge OF the
means by which il got there They
told the officer that the liquor. was
not theirs. and at the same time laid
a clever scheme for the escape OF the
third member OF their party, who had
been the driver OF the car. The OIL
Ger obtained the number of the car,
which was 1852
When 0ffieer Holiday told the men
that they were under arrest they
seemed TO take il calmly enough, and
offered no resistance. The motor of
the car was running, and they were
told to cut off the power. Both said
they didn't know anything about the
car, or how to stop it, Then the off,
Ger called a passerby who stopped the
motor.
Told TO step from the machine the
two obeyed, one of them at the same
time drawing a small knife. The Off
Ger made him replace it in his pocket
and then proceeded to search the
prisoners. They were found to be un-
armed. Taking charge OF the prison.
ers Officer Holiday deputized three
men who had been attracted by the
arrest and had them accompany the
party and bring the whiskey with
them.
On returning TO the place where the
arrest had been made ii was found
that the automobile had been removed,
driven by the third member OF the
party who made clean getaway.
United States Commissioner VIII
liam F. Minnick was called. as the
case is one for federal hearing. and
gave the two men al preliminary trial
at the police station.
! At the trial there was some ques-
ton as TO whether ii was right to
detain the men without applying tests
to the liquor found in their posses
sion to determine whether or not 1t
was intoxicating. There were a num-
Der of volunteers for the job of test
ing it. 1t was decided By Commits
sioner Minnick without test, how
ever, that the evidence was strong
enough to warrant his holding the
prisoners.
Commissioner Minnick committed
the prisoners 10 the Baltimore City
Jail to await the action Of the Fed
eral Grand Jury.
This case was transferred to Balti-
more; that is to say, the trial itself
was transferred to the District Court
in that city. The other case, the evi-
dence, was held in Annapolis.

Count Pravnovsky declared that
such stories emanated from Berlin

Yank Prisoners in Russia
Reported Arrived at Riga

LONDON, Aug, 3.-The American
prisoners in Russia, whose release
was demanded as q first condition
of Americas assistance in the Rus
sian famine. have now arrived at
Riga, where they are to be released
according to the So
r-iet delegation In London.
. The relief work meantime has
been progressing rapidly. and a
desperate race with hunger Is GO
ing on in Russia thousands Of peo-
pie being hurried from the famine
stricken districts as fast as they
can move or the available trans
portation can carry them.
Moscow dispatches report that in
scattered localities the people al
ready have begun to suffer acuteiy
from the food shortage.
The Moscow advices say relief
committees have arrived in the Sa-
mara district to assist in the emf
grafton of the refugees One res
ervation of 100000 acres has been
established as a concentration point
for the refugees. sufficient to ac-
commodate 1900 families, but
housing conditions are very bad
owing to the shortage of building
materials. So far $50 900 refugees
have been transferred TO regions Of
comparative safety.
The Soviet government will try
to retain a skeleton population In
the famine districts in order that
reconstruction may not have to
start from scratch when the crisis
IL over. u is easier to transfer
the sufferers from the famine areas
to unaffected zones than to trans
port food into the stricken section.
