Although the weather forecast states that showers are due before nightfall* there was not much prospect of relief in this direction dur ing the morning. on all sides during last night there was nothing but deep tragedy In the terrific spell of weather. Ten thous-< and persons sought relief during the night by throwing themselves on the beach at Coney Island. Bands of thieves operated among these sufferers. They beat one man with a club until his skull was crushed In. and then stripped him of all his clothing. Another man was robbed of all he had while crowds on the beach watched three thieves struggling with him and thought It was Just a friendly struggle. The most pathetic’ rase was on the crowded East Side, where thousands of persons, unable to get to the tea, had to get along as best they could. Mothers with babe in arms slept on fire esedpes. Those who knew Just what to do went to the small parks, which were kept wide open all night and every restriction about lying on the grass was abolished. At dawn a great, rush was made for the public bath houses by a riotous crowd. Most of those who spent the night on the Coney Island beach were from the East Side, where the suffering from the Intense heat Is greatest.

Washington, Aug. 6.—The much-her alded "Address to the American Pub lic,” which had been awaited with In terest by the colored people of the country, was read last night at the conclusion of the second quadrennial convention of the Negro Young Peo ple's Christian and Educational Con gress at convention hall. The document touches on every phase of the social and -educational welfare of the race. Some of the points were: ■ "Equality before the law and behind the law Ilea at the basl. of our Instl- ■Crlme has no color; the criminal no ,„ce. The wrong-doer should be Iso lated and dealt with as an enemy to so ciety. To Impute to a race the evil deeds of Individuals tends to promote rather than diminish crime. It engen ders race animosity and Incites the spirit of revenge and reprisal, which always finds lodgment In the breasts of baser members of both races, thus perpetuating a constant state of hatred and strife." "We advocate national aid to local education In those states and'parts of states where existing conditions de mand It. "We are grateful to Northern philan thropy for means and service contrib uted In our behalf. We also appre ciate the fact that the Southern states have devoted a considerable part of their general fund to the education of the negro youth. We wish to commend the fntr-mlnded attitude of those Southern white men who stand for equal educational advantages for all the children of their respective states."
