(JOTHAM’S FIRST SUBWAY DISASTER CLAIMS 14 LIVES (CONTI NIKI) FROM PAUK ONB) ami 105 so badly injured that they required hospital treatment. A pleasant day had a larger number of neople down town than usual, They went about their business as usual. A report said that nt one point in the track a switch had been working badly and an inspector sent to look at. it. He was said to have passed an empty train over It ami then a full train crosstsl it slowly. The switch was reported to have work ed well each time, and it as decided, according to this report, that the switch would hold up during the rush hours before repairs would be imperative. The downtown express roared into the station. Hundreds I tjironged around its doors, jostling each other, talking back at guards, pushing and shoving. Finally the train was filled and the last door closed. A gong clanged. The train moved forward. FlnalJJr it' hit the switch which stands perhaps a block from the end of the platform. Seven cars passed over it in safety. Then came the eighth—and it was more than the switch could stand. It ”sq>lit the switch," and before the passengers jammed within it could raise their cries of terror it was skidding half sideways down the track. A hundred feet farther on it crashed into one of the great, steel pillars which keep the street above from tumbling in upon the tunnels. It sheared off the pillar, tore loose from the forward seven cars, split itself in two, and part of it hurtled forward, tossing passengers agafnst stanchions, onto the track, under the wheels of the ears, against the sides of the tunnel, and piling them up in masses on what was left of the car floor. Some 200 feet below the stanchion it finally stopped—its force spent; its ghastly work done. Behind, the rear section telescoped into the front of car 9 anil car 10 and pounded the telescope home from the rear. A piercing shriek went up. Men fought but hardly conld strike, so closely were they packed. Women I tainted but they could not fall, so firmly were they- wedged. There was a hiss and a curl of blue smoke as short-circuited wiring burned out. Men began smashing windows, cl nibing through and dragging others after them One man pulled two women he believed dead through a window and left them beside the track, to learn later they had but fainted. Another scrambled through an open window to find that two others had been dragged behind him, clinging to his coat tails. Along the 200 feet of track lietween the broken stanchion and the spot where the tangle which had been a big, steel car finally stopped, there were injured men and women and here and there the body of one who lived no more. An arm. a leg—yes even, a severed head —was in that shamble. Squad after squad of police and company after company of firemen masseil in Times Square and crowded through the panic-stricken crowd, beneath ground. dozen ambulances and then another dozen whirled up. Rescue groups were at work in a twinkling. Five priests and to each one of them a score of police, worked through the penic-strickcn crowd, quieting them. Mayor Walker, a suddenly serious, nervous and determined - appearing mayor, rolled up in his big limousine, and disappeared into the tunnels. Police Commtssione.it Warren followed him. Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd, who had been nearby and had joined the rescue crews, came to the surface, his clothing smeared, his face drawn from an hour's work underground. o Schedule For Rehearsals Os Pageant Cast Monday 10:00 a.m.—Pioneer Children. 1:00 p.m.—Trees. 1:30 p.m.—Poppies. 2:oo p.m.—Dutch. 2:30 pan.—Tree Nymphs. 3:00 p.m.—Little Town Interests. 4:00 p.m.—Wild Roses, Daisies and Butterflies. 6:30 p.m English. 7:30 p.m.—Scotch. 8:00 p.m.—Mist Maidens. 8:30 p.m.—Grown Town Interests.
