were sent to the rear of 39 Leaven- worth street to extinguish a small paper fire. A resident of the Kings bury hotel saw the papers blazing and thought 1t was the welfare de- partment building.
 Notified by a passerby of the John street accident by phone only one minute after the crash, Sergeant William Feeley at police headquar- ters immediately directed an emer- gency crew of linemen from the Connecticut Light 6 Power Go. to the scene and the current was dis continued, leaving good part of the lower Brooklyn section without power.
 Street Closed
 Patrolmen Frank Smith and Frank Butkus who were on Bank street at the time of the accident closed the street at Congress avenue and also at Green street. Sisters of the Holy Ghost who conduct classes at St. Josephs school assisted in the care of the children and warned them of the danger. The grounds of the parish rectory were con- verted into a temporary play yard until the school session convened at 8:25 o'clock.
 Superintendent of Fire Alarms Charles K. Ahearn, one of the first to respond to the emergency call issued by Sergeant Feeley learned that his system had been broken and after several minutes made con- nection repairs and allowed his wire to run along the roadway until new poles were substituted for those which fell.
 At the time of the crash two wo- men were seen to be walking on John street towards Congress ave- nue on the side opposite the school and protected themselves from the wires by crowding against a fence. Witnesses believed that in event they had moved in either direction at the time, they would have come into contact with the wires. An aged man directly in front of the school rushed to the doorway of the building.
 Shortly after 8 o'clock Patrolmen Smith and Butkus were given as- sistance by Motor Patrolmen Joseph Mccarthy, George McElligott and Sergeant George Chatfield, head of the department electrical division. Patrolman Mccarthy was sent to the vicinity from Russell school where he had been engaged doing traffic duty. Patrolman McElligott was performing the same service at

Washington grammer school, when notified of the accident.
 Near Playground
 The scene where the crash took place is used as the play yard for more than 600 pupils of the school who begin to arrive daily about the time of the near fatality. John street is closed at both entrances by special student police who are in charge of the safety of their fel- low students, and traffic is resumed ewhn the youngsters enter the building for classes. Rev. A. Ed ward Gradeck and Rev. Benedict Gauronskas of St. Joseph's church who were at the scene at all times this morning assisting in the care of the children, said that it was 8 miracle no one was injured.
 Previous to the arrival of the police and emergency crews, it was learned that the crowd collecting about the scene was prevented from venturing into the danger zone by william Arnauskas of Poplar street, and Paul Plungis, of Congress ave- nue, employees of the American Brass company.

Lightning Hits Piedmont St. Home;
 Poles TOpple Over Following StOrn
Heavy Charged Wires Fall Into Street-Service In.
 terrupted For Repairs

Two poles carrying high tension Fires, weakened by the terrific Thunderstorm that swept the city, Collapsed on John street at 7:50 this morning, just few minutes before tl1e street would have been throng- cd with youngsters attending St. Joseph's school, who are permitted to use the street as 8 playground. Lightning struck the home of Rob- ert Somers at 209 Piedmont street at 1 o'clock this morning, stunning it's occupants and setting fire to the roof of the home. Another fire also broke out during the storm.
 Power service in much of the Brooklyn section was halted for time after the poles fell, but repair men quickly erected new ones and restored service. A fire alarm box was placed out of commission but quickly placed back in service.
 Heavy Downpour
 The storm broke with terrific in- tensity and lashed the city furious ly until 1t passed away. Several residents claimed the thunder was so heavy that their homes were rocked by the reverberations. The Southern New England Telephone Go, reported only 31 telephones were affected by the storm. Two stations were affected, but only fuse replacements were necessary. Two fire alarms were registered during and immediately following the storm. Lightning struck the roof of a two and one-half wood frame dwelling at 209 Piedmont street, owned by Robert D. Somers, and occupied by Robert D. Somers, and MT. and Mrs. Gordon Somers. A deep hole was rent in the eastern section of the roof, near the chim- ney.
 House Hit
 < The bolt struck the house just as Mrs. Gordon Somers arose from bed to close windows against the rain. She apparently came very near to being struck herself, for immedi- ately at that time she was stunned and other members of the residents of the house were called to assist her. The roof of the house started Z to burn at that time, and the ire department was summoned by tele- phone at 4:10 a. m. Acting Deputy Chief Stephen Bloomfield was in command of Engines and 10, and truck 3, which responded. The blaze was investigated by Marshal Dennis Lahey and Private Eugene Legge of his staff.
