TRAINS COLLIDE

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Eight
hundred passengers were taken
down ladders to safety today when
fire broke out in one car and ig-
nited the trestle after two elevated
trains had collided on the Fulton
line of the Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit Companys elevated system
near the Lefferts Ave. station in
Brooklyn.
Ten persons we're injured In the
panic caused by the spectacular ma
ture Of the crash, but all we're able
to go to their homes after emer-
gency treatments.
Quick work by firemen from a
station not more than $50 feet from
the wreck prevented what threat
ened to be a disaster of major pro-
portions.
A ten-car train was stalled over
a vacant lot, presumably by blown
fuse, when three-car train crashed
into its rear end. The head car on
the short train and the rear car on
the longer train we're smashed.
Hundreds of persons were thrown
to the floor by the collision, sud-
denly squirt of flame came from
the second car of the ten-car train
far ahead, igniting the ties of the
elevated track, and many persons
were trampled in the stampede for
the doors.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.-Like
the poor youth who grew to be a
great financial giant, the Johanna
Smith has made good in a way to
write home about.
Once ii earned a mere pittance
as a coasCwise lumber boat, but now
it boasts an income of thousands
a day and claims the apparently
undisputed title of being the worlds
best known gambling ship,
For the last month the Johanna
Smith has been anchored of the
California coast opposite Long
Beach.
Through legal loophole its
thirteen gambling tables and thirty
eight slot machines operate on a
twenty-four- hour a-day basis, open
ly and in defiance of city, county,
State and Federal authorities.
This correspondent visited the
craft over~the weekend. He was
told he was only one of 10000 who
made the same voyage, and he con-
tributed in a minor way to the
100000 said to have been taken In
Saturday and Sunday by the float
ing Monte Carlo.
The unannounced hackers Of the
Johanna Smith did everything to
make the losing of weeks salary
a simple and comparatively painless
affair. There was no difficulty get
ting aboard. Passwords or special
knowledge were not necessary. Elk
cept for pocketbook deflation there
was no unpleasantness connected
with the trip.
They key to the Johanna Smith
was found to the P. and o. dock
at Long Beach. The hours between
10 p. m. Saturday and a. m. Sun
day were the most prosperous. Dur
ing that period it was matter OF
following the crowd.
The ticket, which read passage
to and from the dancing and eat
ing boat" cost Is cents. The sale
of only round-trip tickets is one of
the many considerate gestures of
the Johanna Smith operators.
The ticket taker for the water
taxiS resembles a motion picture di-
rectors idea of a gang leader.
Similar characters were dis
covered at strategic posts all over
the Johanna Smith. The attend
ants are courteous in the manner
Of a pug with society worker.

FUNDS SOUGHT
FOR FINANCING
CITY AIRPORT
Sentiment of Taxpayers to
Decide Issue, Says
Lieber.

Sentiment of taxpayers on a
municipal airport for Indianapolis
was being sought today by members
of Mayor L. Ert Stacks airport
committee.
"I feel we can find location and
a way to finance purchase of the
site without much trouble if we are
sure the substantial taxpayers of
Indianapolis want it." Herman P.
Lieber, councilman, said today.
I'VE have found ways of financ-
ing much less worthy projects in
the past. We can get an airport if
the people want to spend the
money"
Lieber said legal opinion is being
obtained on the 1920 statute, which
some members Of the committee
believe provides legal authority for
the city to acquire an airport site.
Cost Half Million
The statute was presented to the
committee by George T. Whelden,
after conference last week with Ed
Raub Jr, attorney. Raub, who has
been in Chicago for several days,
returned today.
The statute provides for purchase
or lease by the city of site for
an airport.
The proposed municipal airport
would cost, it is estimated, between
100000 and 100000, which would
be financed either by direct taxes
or over a period of probably ten
years, or by bond issue.
City officials are loath to add to
the proposed city tax levy, which is
certain to be substantially increased
for next year, unless there is strong
public sentiment in favor OF the
project.
A 1-cent increase in the levy,
based on the present assessed Yalu-
alton of $676,OOO, 900, would produce
$4,000, which, carried, ten years,
would, according to committee mem
bers, probably retire both principal
and interest.
Consider Several Sites
The committee has under con-
sideration acquisition Of 2s2 acres
adjoining Indianapolis airport. The
present Indianapolis airport, under
lease by the National Guard, has 1872
acres, and the combined guard and
municipal airports. operated sep
arately, but jointly available for
landing and taking of. would pro-
vide an airport of 474 acres, with
runways nearly a mile in every d.
rection. Several other sites are be-
ing considered.
The committee is awaiting word
from the Transcontinental Air
Transport, forty-eight-hour. coast
-to-oast air-rail passenger route for
its starting date.
The transcontinental plans to
make indianapolis principal stop
ping point if an airport suitable for
landing Of huge transport planes is
rovided. None Of the airports now
located here are satisfactory to the
company because of their size, it is
said.
