Snow and Sleet in One Part of Minn. as Heat

St. Paul, July 19 Up)-Snow fell over the north woods of Minne- sota yesterday while the twin cities sweltered in temperatures around the century mark.
 Jay Gould, state game con- missioner, vouched for the au- thority of the snow. From the north shore of Lake Superior, 75 miles north of St. Paul, he re- ported an icy breeze that brought twenty minute fall of snow, changing to a cold rain that froze on the windshields of au- tomobiles.
 A blistering sun hoisted the mercury to the 95 mark here. causing one death from heat. At Mitchell, S. D., thermometers testified to a new July record of 107 degrees.

400 ARRESTED DURING
 PARADE OF STRIKERS
Thousands of Garment Workers in Gigantic
 Demonstration

New York, July 19 LR - An at- tempted parade by a large part of 10000 striking garment workers was broken up today by police who rounded up nearly 400 and routed the rest with drawn clubs. Many of the prisoners were women. Of the first 100 arraigned 14 were fined s5 each and the rest S3 on pleas of guilty.
 The strikers gathered at S7th street between Seventh and Eighth avenues with placards. Some of their leaders maintained that they were only intent on peaceful pick eting of garment shops, but police charged that picketing in mass formation constituted a parade, for which no license had been issued.
 Police in squads rushed the gathering each time it formed in marching order, herded groups into doorways and stood guard with their clubs until patrol wagons carted the prisoners away. The dis turbance lasted several hours.

SWIMMING POOL IS
 FOUND HEALTH MENACE
Watkins, in Plainville, Closed After Analysis
 of Water
(special 10 tho HeraldN

Plainville, July 19 - Watkins swimming pool near Whites Cross ing was ordered closed today by Health Officer George r. Cook on the recommendation of the state bureau of sanitary engineering, which notified him that the water in the pond had been found infected. Samples of the water in the pool were taken by state engineers a week ago in an effort to determine the source of three typhoid cases which had broken out in the nearby Westwood park section and to rem edy unsanitary conditions found gen. orally existing in the neighborhood. No trace of typhoid germs were found, but similar baccilus was discovered by the state chemists.
 Immediately upon receiving a re- port to this effect, Warren J. Scott, director of the bureau of sanitary engineering, wrote to Dr. Cook. The letter received today, in part, follows:
 T have received the report of the analysis of samples of water col lected from the Watkins swimming pool, located on tributary of the Quinnipiac river and operated by Jacob Lipiko. The result is that there has been found the presence of colon bacillus in one and ten centimeter volumes of the water. This analysis would indicate that the water was not safe for bathing pur- poses at the time of collection of the sample.
 Moreover, the toilet facilities at the pool were grossly insanitary at the time of inspection and are en- tirely inadequate. This department recommends the place be closed un- til the conditions are remedied and proper toilet facilities are provided,'
 On the advice of Director Scott, Dr. Cook today put the ban on swim ming in the pond for period of at least two weeks or until the water has been treated anG the conditions remedied. Further sample will be taken and analysed to confirm the result of the present analysis.
 The colon bacillus, Dr. Cook ex- plained, produce acute dysentery and conditions greatly resembling typhoid fever. When taken into the mouth, as is unavoidable in swim ming. it causes violent stomach re- actions and is dangerous. The fourth or questionable case of typhoid has now been definitely diagnosed as re- sulting from infection from this bacillus.
 The analyses of water samples from the wells in Westwood park have been nearly completed by the state department of health and re- ports are expected soon by Dr. Cook.

OLD MAN IS SLAIN
 IN NEWARK HOLDUP
Three Bandits, With LiVeried Chauffeur, Also Wound Another
ESCAPE WITH MUCH MONEY
Receipts of From S6,OOO to S13,5OO Stolen - Gunmen Appeared in Costly Car and Shot Down Old Man Without Warning.

Newark. N. J.. July 19 UB - Three bandits, who were driven to the scene of their crime by a liv- cried chauffeur, in a costly automo- bile today shot and killed George M. Condit, seventy year old en- ploye of the Reid Ice Cream com pany, wounded Joseph Duff, IS, and escaped with week end receipts estimated at from S6,OO0 to $13,00O, which the two were about to take to the bank.
 What's the idea," asked Condit when one of the bandits dismounted from the rear seat of their automo- bile and ordered him to throw up his hands.
 Shot Immediately
 Without further warning he was shot dead by a bandit who had re- mained in their car. Duff, who at tempted to resist, was wounded twice in the thigh.
 The holdup occurred in front of the ice cream plant. The bandits fled toward Belleville.
 Condit and Duff came downstairs from the office of the company and were about to enter the automobile in which they planned to take the money to the bank, when an expen- siVe car containing three men pulled up beside their automobile.
 Killed Without Warning
 Two of the bandits rode in the front seat and a third in the rear. Without warning or command the gunman in the rear shot Condit dead.
 By this time Duff had jumped in- to the company's automobile. A bandit leaped from the front seat of the big car, yanked Duff from the wrestled hand-to-h hand with him for the money bag, and shot him in the thigh after obtaining it. Condit's body fell in the path of the bandit car and it was several min utes before they could steer clear of it and get under way.
 Girls Are Threatened
 Several girls working on the sec- ond floor of the factory ran to the windows when they heard the shots.
 While the bandit car was trying to clear Condit's body. one of the occupants leveled his gun at the girls on the second floor and threat ened to shoot any attempting to give the alarm

FRED |. TOMLINSON
 DIES IN BRIDGEPORT
Recently Retired as Sta. ton Agent at Berlin
 Depot

About six months after the death of Mrs. Alice Tomlinson, the grim reaper returned yesterday to the Tomlinson household to take the remaining member, her husband, Frederick c. Tomlinson, retired vet eran station agent at the Berlin railroad station, who for the past four months had been in failing health at the home of his sister, Mrs. Roland Lane in Bridgeport.
 MT. Tomlinson, who was 5S years old, was born in Bridgeport in 1868 and at an early age entered the en- ploy of the New Haven railroad company, being stationed at Bran ford where he became station agent. He remained in that position for eight years and was then transferred 10 the Berlin station where he had been employed for 20 years until he was pensioned off four months ago on account of failing health.
 While employed in Berlin he made his home on Chestnut street, this city. When Mrs. Tomlinson's death occurred last January he was great Iy affected and it is believed that this was one of the direct causes of his sickness. His death was caused by heart trouble.
 He was well known and leaves many friends. Fraternally he was active in Harmony lodge, F. X A.. NJ, Giddings chapter, Doric council, Washington Commandery, the Mys- tic Shrine and the Knights of Py- thias. Besides his sister he is sur vived by brother Russell Tomlin- son of Bridgeport.

DWELLINGS SINK INTO
 PIT IN MINE CAVE-IN
Two Disappear in Penn. and 25 Others Are on
 Edge of Cavern

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 19lP)-Par- sons Borough today faced a serious situation as the result of one of the worst mine caves in the history of Wyoming Valley.
 Two large dwellings have disap- peared into the earth and two smaller houses stand in the brink of the gaping cavern at the Peach Orchard colliery, ready to topple in with the slightest disturbance.
 The main line of the Delaware and Hudson railroad was so serious- ly affected that all train service was abandoned late yesterday. D. and H. trains will use the tracks of the Central Railroad Of New Jersey from North Wilkesbarre to Miners Mills Junction until the danger is past. The subsistence started Friday.
 Several car loads of lumber drop ped into the big hole Saturday when railroad spur leading to a. lumber yard was swallowed by the cave.
 Large cracks in the earth and low rumblings indicate, mining men said today, that the end of the subsistence had not been reached. Twenty-Five houses are in the danger zone. Thir- ty-tfve families have been forced 10 move from the area and others were prepared to do so at a mo- ment's notice. The affected district IS about a quarter Of a mile from the borough's main thoroughfare.
 The houses that fell into the cave were unoccupied, the families hav- ing deserted them several weeks ago when the first cave occurred at the Peach Orchard mine.
 Pillar robbing is alleged to have been the cause of the subsistence.

there. He heard a legend of a French ship, laden with coin and gold and silver plate (which was forced in a small harbor near Hali- fax in 1700. The treasure was un- loaded, carried inland, and sunk at the bottom of a lake.
 After he came to New York Maj. Logan found in private library the records of a Spanish--not British privateer, in which was a parallel tale of a Nova Scotia treasure. The records told of a French sailor whose life was spared by the crew of the Spanish privateer when it seized a French prize. The sailor revealed the secret of the hidden gold.
 The privateer sailed for Nova Scotia. its crew found the gold but heard the booming of guns on a French ship and reburied the treas ure. The captain never returned for it but left instructions to his son as to it's location. The son, however. also failed to go after it, as far as Maj. Logan was able to learn.
