u*-* ^ #' liDREDOVEnE PAflOOVGERS IN SUBWAY HAVE TBYOfO EXPERIENCE. ONE WOMAN IS KILLED y—■ ♦ S&wm Hundred Passengers In Two Mailed Trains Set Wild by Dense Smoke and Fumes Prom Short Oir- cut ted Cable—Two Hundred Per sons Injured, Many Seriously. More than one hundred persona were OTercome by smoke, cut by fly ing glass, bruised and otherwise in jured In a fire aboard a train in the subway of New YorlT city at the height of the rush four Wednesday morning. In the panic and confusion which ensued police headquarters is sued a report that from 12 to 20 per sons had lost their lives, but this later proved to be unfounded and only one known death was recorded. The entire fire fighting force of Manhattain, every ambulance in the borough and every pulinotor that could be found was brought to the scene. The fact that scores of per sons were unconscious led to the early report thrt many had been kill ed. Later Police Commissioner Woods and Pire Chief Kenion announced that so far as they knew there had been no fatalities. A surgeon attached to the Poly clinic hospital reported that one in jured woman had died in an ambu lance on her way to the hospital. Two hundred persor j in all were taken to the Polyclinic, the surgeon I said, but as far as he knew, with this one exception none had been fatally Injured. For the first time in the history of the fire department a special alarm called out firemen and battalion chiefs without apparatus to fight the flames and care for the injured. The tie-up started at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, the beginning of the rush hour. At 9:30 a slow express service was started, only to be halted by the dftcovery of fire. Three alarms were turned in and ambulances were dispatched * From trains stalled between sta tions firemen emerged bearing un conscious victims Fire Commissioner Adamson, who assumed personal charge of the sit uatlon. sent men throughout the city with orders to bring every pulmotor available to the scene. One of the victims died before the pulmotors could be obtained. Congestion, the like of which the city has seldom seen, prevailed at al most every pubway station. At Brooklyn bridge, the Manhattan en trance was choked by tsne-ef thou- sainds. For SO minutes detachments of police reserves struggled with the crowds there before order could be restored. Elevated trains and surface cars all over the city were packed to over flowing with the throngs that were turned away from the subway. More than 20 bodies we e taken to the platform of the Fifteenth street station. Firemen asserted that the tube held the bodies of many other dead, some of the estimates going as high as two hundred. In an effort to get at the dead and dying in the subway, Inspector Egan, of the bureau of combustibles, sent for a large amount of dynamite with which to rip up the streets. Sixty unconscious persons were taken to the Flower Hospital. Other hospitals cared for many other vic tims. Ventilator gra.ings were taken up from sidewalks around the Fif tieth aad Fifty-ninth street stations to permit removal of the injured. Fire Commissioner Adamson re ceived reports from the battalion chiefs that the fire was confined to two subway cars; that several per- aons had been killed and a great many Injured and overcome. All man-hole covers were removed as well as the ventilator gratings. In the openings thus made., firemen placed their hose. Other squads of firemen crawled down through the blinding smoke into the tube and worked in relays. Through smoke that -oiled up from the manholes could be seen the flames below. The fire started In a train between the Fiftieth and Fifty-ninth street stations. Some of the hundreds of passengers wedged in the cars said afterwards that it started with an ex plosion and that the train came al most immediately to a standstill. Aboard the train there was a frantic rush for the end cars. Through the open doors at each end there poured a stream of men and women who struggled through the smoke, apparently oblivious of the danger of the third rail, toward the two stations. Platferjns at these stations were j ] ammed and in the wild rush for the exits some persons , were trampled on. Emergency calls brought to the spot every ambulance in Manhattan. As fast as unconscious victims were removed they, were laid on the side walk or carried to stores and offices and given first aid treatment by fire men and surgeons. So great was the demand’ upon the fire fighting forces to aid in reviving the unconscious, that hurry calls were sent to Broolfc lyn for aid. The transportation tie-up result ing from the "fire spread toward the Bronx aad to Brooklyn and tens o' thousands of persons struggled al elevated railway and subway stations In those boroughs in an effort to y reach Manhattan. The bodies of 20 persons lay on the platform of the Fiftieth street station an hour after the fire started. Flames were stm raging then and there were many estimates as to the number of dead in the ears and along the trsrks. R'.fried in attempts to reach the victims who lay close to the horning can.

Frame Building Being Erected Blown Against Old One, Wrecking Both— Almost a Bad Fire. Wednesday night about 7 o’clock a ♦ery destructive cyclone visited the Gaskins neighborhood, about six miles east of Lake City, blowing down outhouses, trees and the like. The most serious damage reported was to J. F. Lawrence’s new bouse, which he was erecting just in front of the one in which he was living. W hon they heard the roaring of the wind Mr. Laurence and the contrac- toi; who was doing the work for him stepped on tho front porch to see what It was, and about this time the frame of the new house was blown over on to the old house, breaking it down upon the family. Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Hazelden, the contractor, after about thirty minutes extricated themselves from the timbers and at once began the work of rescuing the other members of the family, and at the same time preventing the spread of tho fire, which had caught some of the tim bers which fell near to the fireplace, In which there was a large fire. The wreck was do great that it required almost three hours, with the assist ance of the neighbors, to remove the broken timbers and rescue all of the family. The last one to be rescued was a baby about one year old, which waa found In the bed with one of the Joists just across its chest, yet there was not a scratch on its body, and except for the cold it appeared not to have suffered from the storm. For a distance of three miles the trees and all small houses were blown down and the damage Is variously estimat ed, but It will bo found to bo a con siderable amount, especially when the loss In timber is concidered. A severe wind storm, in the nature of a cyclone, blew down everything In Its path for a distance of several miles In the Cadee section of the county early Wednesday night Trees, fences and smell houses were easy prey for the cyclone.

Although severe fighting has been going on in France during the past day or two it has been discounted by the Russian successes against the Turks in the Caucasus and against the Austrians in the Carpathians. In both eastern and weitern war theatres the Germans have been ex ceedingly active. Steady progress is noted in their official statements re garding operations in Poland and the French official bulletins report vio lent German attacks in the Argonce. in the region of Verdun and around Steinbaeh, in Alsace. Details, as usual, are lacking, as the long drawn out battle ard re ferred to briefly, seemingly as a mat ter of routine, unless something of an extraordinary nature occurs. Re garding the operations in the west as a whole, a British eye-witness, who has been the regular chronicler of events, says that ’’really marked pro gress has been achieved by the Al lies." He adds, however, that “the German defensive is an active one," and that it must not be Inferred tt^at progress has bden other than slaw and laborious or that^he final result in within immediate reach. poV an OF FARES DUG IN HUGE emOLB OF ENTRENCH MENTS PROTECT CAPITAL.

President Wilson Monday night be gan receiving messages from foreign rulers congratulating him on his 58th birthday annlveraary. The first to arrive were from King George, of Great Britain, and President Estrada Cabrera, of Guatemala. Led by Secretary Bryan, the presl dent’s cabinet called at the White House during the evening. Because of the cancellation of all state din ners and receptions after Mrs. Wil son’s death this gathering was the nearest approach to a social affair held in the White House for many months. Among the messages received were several from parents of children nam ed for the president, because their birth anniversaries were the same as his. Mr. Wilson usually answers such sary to rip up the streets and thus afford the firemen an entrance through which they could work un hampered. Unofficial reports gave the cause of the fire as a collision between ex press trains. At the time of the fire the subway contained smoke from flames, extinguished only a few min utes before at the Spring street sta tion. It was shortly before 9:30 o’clock that wisps of smoke began to curl from manholes along Broadway be tween the two stations. The spot where the Are burned fiercest was opposite Fifty-sixth street. Hamper ed in their efforts to reach the blaze, the firemen dug into the pavement with their axes. They make a hole above the subway at Fifty-third street. From this opening belched a Aolmne of smoke and flames as If from a crater. A hose was directed th.xwgh the opening and even hand extinguishers were used. F r ten blocks the streets were !<ned with ambulances that came from - I the city.

A report at Washington says that foar era ire rs of the Mexican navy have decided to await remits of the fighting |n tho Interior before Uk*ag ,tb< * de by bm eeUen. ’’North of Arras Petrograd repbfts: "On the left bank of the Vistula on January 8 there was an almost general lull along the front of Sochaneczew-Boli- mow, where only desultory fighting took place. "The Germans, with a view of ap proaching our positions, are endeav oring to apply the processes of siege warfare. In certain places they ad vanced by sapping and are resorting to steel shields In protecting them selves "In the region of the village of Sochaczew the G mans who on the night of the 6th captured part of our trenches, were forced out of them in the morning by bayonet attacks In the course of this fighting we captur ed five quick-firers and a number of prisoners. Berlin reports: “Military officials say the great battle In western Gall cla again has resolved Itself into 1 strugle for certain definite positions in which both sides are well Intrench ed. They assert that the Austrians are fibttng excellently in their pre pared positions, and that Russian at tempts north of Gorlice to push for ward In the direction of Cracow and on the south of Neu Sandek have fail ed.” I/ondon reports: “The Russians, with all their other fronts to cover have found another army with which to take the offensive against the Oer man position at Mlawa, on the east ern Prussian frontier, and Wednes day night report the capture of a vll lage on the road to that town. “The Germans still are hammering at the Kussian line drawn directly across the roads to Warsaw from the west, but. It Is reported, with leas force behind them. In West Gaficla however, where they have reinflpreed the Austrians, they have held up the Russian advance near Gorlice. "In southern Poland rain has stop- pel the fighting. Neither side is able to move there, owing to the high water and'the mud. "The Russians continue to drive the Austrians through thd ^now-cov ered passes of tho Carpathians and out of Bukowlna, and simultaneously are dealing in detail with the rem nants of the Turkish armies In Trans caucasia. which are reported either to have been routed or surrounded.’ Neither Turkey nor Germany has conceded the defeat of Turkish armies in the Caucasus as claimed officially In Petrograd. The latest official communication from Turkey altogether ignores the fighting in the Caucasus and dwells upon the strug gle which has spread over the Per sian frontier to Urumla, an impor tant town where the Turks say that aided by Perslons, they have defeated the Russians. Berlin reports: “Reports from Constantinople say more than fifteen thousand Russian prisoners captured In the Caucasus are being conveyed to the Turkish interior." Vifenna reports the battles in the Carpathian forest district, which now have lasted severtl months with alter nate successes continue. These are battles of minor importance and often take placve in lovely valleya widely separated from each other. Paris reports: “Reports were re ceived Wednesday evening of violent German attacks in the region of Las- slgny, tn the Argonne, at the cross ing of the road from Le Four de Paris to Varennes, and that from La Haute Chevauchee, In the region of Verdun, and on the ridge which dominates Steinbaeh. v AH these attacks have been repulsed." “In the region of Lille we repulsed with success a violent German at tack on one of our trenches. This trench, in the beginning lost by ua, was recaptured with great brilliancy and by the exploding of mines we demolished a portion of the German fields works. Between the Somme and thb Alsne there has been noth ing to report except artillery engage ments. -v. “In the Woevra district the ad vance made by na to the northwest of Ftlrey is more Important than was at first taken to be th» rase. We ms<*e ourselves masters of a portion of the enemy’s first llns." Berlin raoorta: "In the western arena of the war the FngHsh and the French contfeab to destroy Reftlaa and French ▼'IHures behind oar front: Army of Excavators Have Work Since First of When Germans Threatened Siege. The army of excavators that early In September began to dig Paris in when a Germap siegd.was threatened has completed Its work. lihe General Confederation of Workers alone sent five thousand vol unteers, who provided their own working tools and were merely re compensed bra dally ration of food. Thousands of Relglon refugees have also assisted in the work. Jar is now lies in the centre of an Intrenched camp, the diameter of which is about sixty miles and whose circumference is nearly two hundred miles. This is surrounded by row after row of trenches thoroughly cov ered In with logs and turf through which loopholes have been left for rifle fire. All of them communicate with each other and contain transverse banks of earth to prevent them being en filaded by Infantry or machine gun lire. Out beyond them are rifle pits and barbed wire entainglements plac ed in all positions where an attack might originate. Still other precautions have been taken In front of the advanced line of trenches by digging deep ditches whose elxstence Is hidden by a light covering of branches and turf, mak ing them invisible to approaching cav alry, Infantry or artillery, and form ing veritable traps Into which an at tacking force might fall a prey to the defendera’ machine guns and rifles. The approaches to the trenches from the rear constat of subterranean galleries permit the reliefs to be made without uiy evposure of the men. All along this front posts of obser vation have been established, each of which is constantly occupied by at least three men provided with power ful field glasses and tn direct tele phonic communication with headquar ters and with the artillery batteries In the Immediate vicinity. The em placements of these batteries are known only to the headquarters staff and the men who serve the guns, all of which are buried in the earth, only their muzzles protruding. For the benefit of the gunners the ranges of all prominent objects In the front have been measured. Behind the lines of trenches runs fl light railroad line for the purpose of bringing up ammunition and food and also. If necessary, reinforcements of men to any point which may be men aced. Further provision for the con veyance of reinforcements is at hand in the large number* of automobiles of all kinds which can make the Jour ney speedily from any one point to another^carrying groups of armed men. The existing forts also have been strengthened, but now only serve as supporting points and depots for large bodies of troops resting from their trench duty. The Parisian delights in making Sunday tripe to observe the works in tended for his defence, and, although he Is not permitted to learn the sec rets of the arrangements, he has been able to see sufficient to inspire him with confidence. 33 COUNTIES IEP0KT Stole of Education Superintendent Estimate* One White Mon Out of / Every Five Is Unable to Read or Writ®—Cherokee Leads With 90.3 Per Cent—Beaufort Lowest, With 7 Per Cent.

"In the western part of the forest of Argonne we made further pro gress.

This was the first triple electrocution In New Jersey. That 20 per cent, of the white men of South Carolina of voting age are illiterate is the estimate made from literacy figures compiled by State ’Superintendent J. E. Swearingen from thirty-three of the forty-four counties in South Carolina, based on the returns of the Democratic club rolls. This Is an increase of 100 per cent. In Illiteracy among white- voters in four years, for the federal census of 1910 showed that 10.3 of the white voters of the State were illiterate. “Public school organization and ef ficiency are challenged in clarion tones by these figures,” says State Superintendent of Education Swear ingen in his annual report to the general assembly. Cherokee county occupies the nn- enviable position of showing the greatest percentage of Illiteracy among the white voters of the State In the figures of thirty-three out of the forty-four counties reported to State Superintendent of Education John E. Swearingen. The percentage of Democratic vot ers In Cherokee county who are un able to sign their own names Is 29.3 Marlboro comes next with 27.6, Pickens third with 26.4, Lancaster fourth with 25.2, and Spartanburg a close fifth with 26 per cent. Flgur were'not obtained from the couati of Barnwell, Berkeley. Charleston. Chesterflsld, Colleton. Fairfield, Greenville, Greenwood, Horry, Lee and Orangeburg. Beaufort carries off first honors in ths small percentage of illiteracy, only 7 per cent of her white voters being unable to sign thstr nsmss to ths Democratic clnb rolla. Edgefield, the home county of the United States Senator B. R Tillman and of Super intendent Swearingen, stands second arlth 8.1 and Calhoun is third with 10 per cent. Theee figures wars ob tained from ths Democratic club rolls. “The census of IIIO,'' says Super intendent Swearingen in his report to the general assembly, “showed 17. 691 white m lee of native parentage who were nna'hle to read and write. The census further shows that 10.S per cent of our white voters Illiterate. Theee figures were ques tioned by many, bnt the Democratic rolls of 1914 disclosed some Interest ing facts In this connection Doubtless hundreds of namse were marked with < cross on theee rolla for reasons that might be easily enumerated, now much would mean for ths cause of educetlon every voter unable to write his name would feel humiliated and ashamed to make his mark. The need of snch a sentiment la plainly seen in the literacy figures compiled from the Democratic enrollment lists of ths several conntles.” Commenting further o the liter acy figures, Mr. Swearingen says “These figures show that tha Con federate veterans of 60 years are per haps batter educated than their grandsons of 21. The State was re deemed from carpet-bagg rule in 1876. The Reform movement ot 1890 originated tn the demand for an agricultural college. Neverthe less. 20 per cent of the men born within the last 38 years are either illiterate or not unwilling to sign their names with a mark. Public school organization and efficiency are challenged in clarion tones by theee figuree.” ► The totals from the 33 counties present an Interesting stndy and af ford room for serious thought, pointed out by an educator in Colum bia Thursday. Of the 30,834 voters between the ages of 21 to 29 years reported, 9,799 made their mark; of the 28 494 between 30 and 39 years of age, 6,172 made their mark; 18 249 between the ages of 40 and 49 registered and of the number 2,565 made their mark; of the 13,394 be tween the ages of 50 to 69, 3.329 made their mark; of the 12,564 be tween the ages of 60 years and up, 4,090 made their mark. These thir ty-nine counties reported a Demo cratic enrolment of 100,894 and of this number 22,251 made their mark, or, In other words, over 22 per cent, of the white Democratic voters in thirty-throe counties are illiterate. The total enrollment of Democrats In the forty-four counties was 154,- 876, and to get the percentage of Illiteracy for the state it would be necessary to have the figures from every county. Superintendent Swear ingen made every effort Co gather the figures from each county, but re peated requests from the eleven coun ties named brought uo responses. It is believed that 20 per cent, illiteracy among the white citizens of South Carolina is correct. That one out of every five white man is Illiterate, unable to read and write hie name, is bound to add in creased demand for the enactment of a. compulsory school attendance law, In the opinion of leader* in South Carolina.
