10 Are Drowned

Grand Haven, Mich, July 5 R}- The vicious surf and undertow of Wlnd-sWept Lake Michigan took the lives of 10 persons here yesterday, all drowning virtually simultaneously and within a radius of but a few hundred yards.
 Nine of the dead were bathers at municipal park beach; the other was a girl who. with three compan- ions, was swept from a pier at the beach by a giant breaker which bowled the four into the water.
 While three life guards struggled against the waves to pull the four struggling persons in the water to safety, a terrific undertow apparent ly generated by the hugh combes which fist swept the pier, carried the nine bathers to their death. Hun- dreds of persons ashore, gay holiday picnickers and bathers basking in a warm sun, watched borrow stricken as the nine were whirled, screa ming for help, far out into the white

year was 46 under 1928, the reduc- ton being attributable chiefly to the decrease in the number of deaths from drowning and from the heat. In only one division did the 1929 fatali- ties exceed last years, and that was | in automobile accidents with 70 this year as compared with 54 last. z Fireworks Deaths Fireworks in themselves continued to play smaller part in the nations Independence day death roll. Only seven fatalities from this fause were reported this year as compared with II in 1928; and two of them resulted from a fireworks factory explosion and fire July 5.
 Drownings were responsible for | the largest loss of life. as they were last year; but even so, there were 35 fewer deaths from this cause than a year ago.
 | Automobile fatalities, on the other hand bounded upward from 54 last year to 70.
 Middlewest Toll High | Nearly one-third of the country's | total toll was taken by the middle west. The middle Atlantic states which last year led the country in deaths with 6S, had 30 less yester- day, although more than half the deaths from fireworks in the coun- 1 try occurred in that section. The northwest and the mountain states | had the smallest death lists, each section reporting three. 1 Temperatures generally were low CT throughout the country yesterday | than was the case July 4, 1928 when | 12 deaths resulted from heat alone. | So far as reports to the Associated | Press showed. there was only one death yesterday from heat, and that was in Chicago.
 One AirpIane Death
 Last year airplane accidents took | four lives, whereas yesterday only one death occurred from this cause. A year ago, too, there were three deaths in automobile races. The only death from that cause reported this year was at Pompano, Fla, where a driver was killed after he had cross ed the finish line in third place of a 10 mile dirt track race. stricter laws regulating the sale and use of fireworks was credited with keeping the number of deaths and injuries from this cause down. In Michigan, particularly, enforce ment of new state fireworks law was reported as most effective. | Chicago ordinances prevent the sale of fireworks, but convenient suburbs provided all types of cannon crackers with the result that the Fourth here was unusually noisy. Hundreds of persons were injured, but no deaths occurred
 800 Hurt in New York
 In New York, 500 children were treated at city hospitals for fire works injuries.
 Contrasting with the 1928 heat was a 10 minute snowstorm yester- day at Speculator, N. Y, the snow falling so fast that holiday motorists blinded, stopped their cars to avoid collisions. It was the coldest July the Adirondacks country has ex- perlenced in years, the temperature being down to 50 degrees. The largest number of deaths re- ported from one place was at the Municipal bathing beach at Grand Haven, Mich., where 10 persons were drowned in an undertow.
