Run Into Wooden T.
From Rear Exactly
Over Yank Stadium

NEW YORK, April 29.-(P)-A

med with between 1000 and 5000
office workers, colliGed on the ele-
waited structuer just above the Yam
kee stadium today. killing four per-
sons and injuring two score, half of
them seriously.
A fire and panic followed the
crash and for more than an hour
police and firemen fought with
frenzied men and women trampling
each other in a wild scramble for
safety.
The accident, a rear-end collision,
occurred at the 167th street station,
where the subway train Semerge
from their underground tunnels and
run on the same overhead tracks as
the elevated trains.
The wooden train was an 81"
train and the steel one a subway
train. The wooden train had halt
ed on signal to permit a subway
train ahead of it to clear the sta
ton. The steel train came around
a curve and coaSted down grade,
the motorman realizing the situation
too late to avoid crash.
Those killed were ]. Cullen, mo-
torman of the subway train; Will
liam j. Schultz, a 17-year-old stu
dent, and an unidentified passenger.
The fire broke out in the rear car
of the elevated train.
About half the injured were hurt
in the scramble to get out of the
wrecked trains and were allowed
to go home after being terated by
ambulance surgeons and at hoSpi-
tails. Twenty persons, however, suf-
fered fractures, ranging from arms
and legs to spines and skulls, and
were taken to hospitals for emerg-
ency treatment.
For hours after the collision, even
after the wreckage had been cleared
away and traffic resumed, hundreds
of persons stormed the Highbridge
police station seeking news of rela-
tives or friends they believed might
have been on one of the trains.

To make it we employ matchless chefs, They
work in model kitchens. We never hurry them.
We use specially milled "short patent"

used. We use double the usual amount of milk.
And we Pasteurize every drop.
These ingredients are expensive. But they do
give vastly better bread. And so we profit

PUBLISH POETS
LONG-HIDDEN
VERSE

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Verses in
the handwriting Of Tennyson and
Robert Browning, inscribed in 1881
in the autograph album of Mrs.
Edwin Booth, wife of the. dlstin.
guished actor, have been reproduced
in fac-simile after 4S years, in the
November issue of the Golden Book
Magazine.
Mrs.. Booths album, which lay
hidden among her papers for many
years e. r her death, was recently
obtained - the magazine from the
. Booth estate. 1t is regarded by
collectors as perhaps the most valu-
able collection of famous auto
graphs of the nineteenth century
in existence. Among those who
contributed to its pages were Long
fellow, TIolmes, Bret Harte. Mark
Twain, Julia Ward Howe, and many
others in America and abroad.
A close friendship existed for
many years between Lord Tennyson
and the American actor. and when
Booth toured Europe he and his
family were the guests OF the Eng
lish poet laureate. 1t was on one
of these occasions that Tennyson
transcribed part of his famous
poem, THE Brook" for Mrs. Booth:
/ chatter over stony ways
In little sharps and trebles,
/ bubble into eddying bays,
l ba bible on the pebbles;
With many a curve my banks I fret
BY many a field and fallow
And many fairy foreland get
With willow-weed and mallow;
I chatter. chatter as 1 flow
To join the brimminE river.
For men may come and men may go,
But l 40 on forever.
Browning's transcription. in his
clear, assured hand. is indirectly a
tribute to the actor
All that I know
or a certain star,
Is-it can throw
(Like the anEled spar)
Now dart of red,
Now a dart Of blue.
Till my friends have said
My star that dsrtles the red and
the blue!
Then IT. stops like bird, like
flower, hangs furled;
They must solace themselves with
the Saturn above it.
What matter to me IL their star IL
a world?
Mine has orened it's soul to me:
therefore I love it.
