Ten Thousand Persons
Sleep on Sand at
Coney Island.
By Private Leeeed Wire.
New York, Aug. 6.—Many dead and
dozens proatrated Is the record of the
heat today. 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.

“CRIME HAS NO COLOR,
&4 YS NEGRO CONGRESS
By Print. I.ea»ed Wlr,.
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."

grotesque costumes. Each costume was of
Individual style and color, and no such
onglomerntlon of boleros, mother bub-
hards, kimonos, sun tannel*. 'ostrich plumes
and slippers was ever before seen In 1'lck*
Ail enormous crowd hod gathered to

loudly chered, ns the umpire who was also
dressed as a Indy said play tall.
Under the rules,of the game, the men

yonng Indy who pitched for the ladles had
her dog by her side, and whenever the
umpire's dcclslou failed to suit her. She set
the dog on him.
At one. stage of the game several of
the ladles attacked the umpire, and .lam
basted hlui with tarrel staves, Inhuuho he
allowed one of the gentlemen to cntcli the
tall with bis skirt. Thus, with the as
sistance of the trained dog nud the tarrel
staves, the umpire was compelled to walk

the game “on account of rain," and an*
I itounred that the score stood 13 to I In
