FALL RUNS T OF ICE HOOKS CY WICTO CHEST Rib Deflects Point Saving Life When Ice Employe Stumbles in Dark Basement Room. Although one end of a pair of Ice tongs, which he was carrying over his left shoulder was plunged into his body a depth of over one inch and Just below the heart when he fell yesterday afternoon, Cy Wicker, aged 40, living on the Cart road north of the hospital, showed much improvement In his condition today, and his physician said he had an excellent chance for recovery. Wicker, a deliveryman employed by the Crystal Ice company, went into the basement f a North Sixth street saloon yesterday afternoon with Manager Taylor of the ice company. Wicker was eoinar to store ice which was to be dropped into the basement j through a chute. Arter ne rescuou the foot of the stairs and had turned on the electric lights he stumbled over something and fell heavily against a barrel, driving the sharp point of his tongs deep into his body. Taylor heard him fall and went to his assistance. Wicker was able to climb the stairs, but had to rest in a chair in the saloon for several minutes, the blood from the ugly wound staining his shirt while he reBted. With the assistance of Taylor be finally started to walk to a nearby physician's office, but fainted on the sidewalk before he had gone half the distance. Taylor carried the injured man the remainder of the distance, but found the physician was not at home. Another physician and an ambulance were then called and Wicker was hurried to the hospital. It was at first feared that the point of the tongs had punctured the lower part of Wicker's heart, but an examination showed that the instrument had not injured this vital organ. A rib had been broken at the point of entry, which deflected the course of the steel blade. Wicker regained consciousness before b ing taken to the hospital, and showed remarkable nerve. He is married and the father of five children. After he was removed to the hospital it was thought he was in a dying condition, and O. O. Smith, one of the officers of the ice company went to the Wicker home to bring Mrs. Wicker to the hospital. She was hoeing the garden when he found her. She was told that her husband had been injured. "That means he is dead," the woman sobbed. "If he wasn't no one would take such an interest in us."

(Advertisement) BOSTON REFUSES TO ftlDJPURTELLE Township Can Not Grant $10,000 Subsidy on Proposed Traction Line. Boston township has turned down Eugene Purtelle's request for a $10,000 Bubsldy on the proposed Richomnd & Hamilton traction line. This was the statement today of Dr. J." J. Rife, one of the leading citizens of the township. "Boston township can not entertain the idea of granting a subsidy," said Dr. Rife. "We have just sold $17,000 worth of bonds lor the erection of a r.ew high school building, which makes a $10,000 subsidy out of the question. Consequently no election will be held to vote on the issue." Dr. Rife explained that an investigation of the feasibility of the plan was made upon Mr. Purtelle's suggestion that the people of the township would have to help build the line either by the subsidy plan or by subscribing ntock. There is considerable opposition to either plan. Engineers who, Mr. Purtelle says, are working on the route, have not reached Boston, according to Dr. Rife. NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT.

NEW YORK, July 31. After bearing the real burden of the world's market and standing firm for a week while the interests of Europe were tottering or falling, the New York stock exchange was closed today. This action was taken by the board of governors after a meeting of leading financiers was held at the office of J. H. Morgan. The decision of this meeting that the European situation was too dangerous to permit trading here, was immediately transmitted to the board of governors who acted promptly. Following the announcement of three failures on the cotton exchange this morning, and the panicky state of trading which marked the opening, the cotton market was closed soon aftthe opening. RUN ON LONDON BANK. LONDON, July 31. The financial terror wrought by the European crisis was strongly evidenced today when a run was started on the Bank of England by noteholders.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, JULY 31,

ASKS STATE PROBE 1(1 DESTRUCTION OF RETTIGJCE HOUSE Following Story of Strange Man Seen Near Building, Chief Miller Notifies Fire Marshal. The burning of the North Twelfth street ice house of the Rettig & Johnson company, with a loss of 12,000, estimated by Building Inspector Hodgin, has been reported to the state fire marshal with the request that an immediate investigation be made to ascertain if the destructive blaze was of incendiary origin. Building Inspector Hodgln estimates that it would cost at least $3,000 to replace the building. There was $2,500 insurance on the old building. The police have made a thorough In vestigation of the burning of the ice plant and Chief Goodwin frankly ex pressed his opinion today . that the blase was the work of an Incendiary. "We believe we know who did the work," the chief said, "but we do not have the necessary evidence to warrant making an arrest. Chief Miller has reporter the matter to the state fire marshal and he will wait on the result of his Investigation before tak ing any further action in the matter. "In my opinion the fire was started from inside the building after sections of the walls had been soaked in gasoline. We did not And any gasoline can near the scene of the fire nor is there any evidence that gasoline was used to start the blaze. The fire was so fierce that the building was almost in ruins before the departments arrived." Saw Strange Man. Robert Stewart, a teamster, and Charles RIeker, both of 1023 North Eleventh street, have furnished the police with valuable evidence to substantiate their theory that a "Are bug" started the big blaze. They were with their horses In a pasture along the river south of the hospital and close to the ice house shortly before the fire Btarted. Just before the flames were noticed, they have informed the police, they saw a well dressed man, weighing about 190 pounds, hurriedly ford the river without stopping to remove his shoes or roll up his trousers. When he saw them he remarked, "why, hello boys," then continued to walk rapidly toward Tenth street. He was carrying his straw hat in one hand and was holding it so as to shield his face. Stewart and Rieker started to follow this man, who they thought was acting very peculiarly, but only went a short distance before they noticed the fire. Thinning It might be their home they made no further effort to follow him and hurried to the scene of the blaze. CONDITION GOOD Following the operation in which his foot, mangled by a freight car at the Rhelnhcimer quarries near New Paris, was removed, the condition of John H, Mungavin is satisfactory, according to hospital attendants. Mr. Mungavin was caught under a car of crushed stone at the quarries at noon yesterday. Illinois produces twenty-seven bushels of corn an acre on an average.

EUROPEAN CRISIS TO HELP BUSINESS

Business in the United 8tates will be helped by an European war, according to Richmond bankers. While prices of foodstuffs probably will be driven skyward by foreign activities, this will be counteracted by the re-opening of many factories which have been idle for some time. Bankers say local Industries will not feel this, but larger factories turning out foodstuffs, clothing and other essentials in warfare will be started, giving employment to thousands of men. The scare which has thrown so much stock on the market at low prices simply means, bankers say, that Americans who buy them now will make vast sums of money when tho temporary flurry is over. RELEASE TUTWALLER Court Officers Lenient on First Offense. On the pleading of the boy's parents, Harry Tutwaller, the 13-year-old boy who, with Lawrence Garwood, 12, entered the Boston Store last week, stealing several watches, fountain pens and other small articles, was released from the custody of the proba tion officer this morning by Judge Fox In juvenile court. It was the boy's first offense, and he was given a severe warning by the judge not to repeat his actions. Lawrence Garwood, who has been in trouble with the police before, and Howard Gibson.another 12-year-old boy did not come out so lucky as Tutwaller. Their cases in juvenile court were continued until tomorrow by Judge Fox, and at that time a decision will be reached. It is probable that the Garwood boy will be sent to the Boys' School at Plainfield. Howard Gibson was arrested last week, accused of stealing a suit of clothes from a home on Easthaven avenue. His case was i also continued until tomorrow. BOWMAN OPPOSES INCREASE IN TAX For the purpose of presenting to the state board of tax examiners the tax levy of Wayne county and preventing that board from raising the- levy of Wayne county.
