B.r Private lanscd Wire.
New York, Aug. 6.—Many dead and
dozens proatrated la the record of the
heat today. Although, the weather
forecaat states that showers are due
before nightfall, there was not much
proapect of relief In this direction dur
ing the morning.
tin all sides during,last night there
was nothing but deep tragedy In the
terrific spell of weather. Ten thou#
and persona , sought relief during the
night by throwing tl)8msclves on the
beach ot Copey island, bands 4>f
thleves operated among these sufferers.
They beat one man with a club until
Ids skull was crushed In. and then
stripped him of nil 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 sett,
had to get along aa best they could.
Mothers with- babe In arms slept on
lire escapes. 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 dawp a great rush Vaa made for
the public bath houses by a riotous
crowd. Most of those who spent the
night n« the Coney Island beach were
from the East Side, nailers the suffering
from the Intenso heat Is greatest.

£71 y.S NEGRO CONGRESS
By Private l,enso(1 Win-.
Washington, Aus. 8.—The much-her-,
nlded ‘'Address to the American Pub
lic," which had been awaited with In
terest by the colored people of the
country, waa 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
torches on every phase of the social
end educational welfare of the race.
Some of the points were:
"Equality before the law and behind
theilnw lies at the-basis of our Insti
tutions." ' '
Crime hns no color; the criminal no
race. 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 tinds to promote
rather than diminish crime. It engen
der* race animosity and Incites tho
spirit of revenge and reprisal, which
always ilnds 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 nre grateful to Northern philan
thropy for means' nnd service contrib
uted. In dur behalf-. \Vo_#l»o appre
ciate the fact that the Southern states
have' devoted : a considerable port of
their general fund to the education of
the negro youth. -We wlsh'to commend
the fair-minded attitude of those
Southern white melt who stand for
equal educational advantages for all
the children of their respective states."
