T. and .R.T. subways between 11.15 and 11.30 o'clock tonight injured four per- sons, one of them, it was believed, fatally. The explosions, believed by the po- lice to have been set either by sympa- thizers of Sacco and Vanzetti or ven- geful employees of the subways, occur- red in the B.M.T. station at Broad- way and Twenty-eighth Street and in the Twenty-third and Twenty-eighth Street Stations of the Fourth Avenue Line of the LR.T, The greatest explosion was at the Twenty-eighth Street Station of the B.M.T,, where the bomb discharged in the men's toilet, blew out all the mas- onry of the walls and hurled the change booth 12 feet away onto the tracks ahead of an approaching train. The man change-maker in the booth was caught in the debris, and when taken out a few minutes later, after the arrival of police reserves and the emergency squad from the West Thir- tieth Street Station and firemen from several points in the neighborhood, was found severely injured. He was taken to Bélleyue Hospital, The approaching train stopped at the sound of the explosion feet from the station, and no one on the train was hurt. The torce of the explosion broke windows on both sides of Broadway from Twenty-eighth 'to- Thirtieth Streets, rocked the Hotel Breslin at Twenty-ninth Street and frightencd hundreds of guests in their rooms, while scores of persons on the side- walks ran into doorways and hallways "u.as glass rained the sidewalks," Score Frigh toned The bombs in the other stations did less damage, but frightened scores ot persons on the three platforms and on the platform of the station at Fourth Avenue and Thirty-third Street, where the repercussion was felt, and to which smoke rolled from the station five blocks southward at Twenty-eighth Street. ; The sound of the explosion in the B.M.T. Station had hardly died down when the policeman on duty at that point saw several men, he was uncer- tain how many, run through the street, jump into an automobile parked at roadway and Twenty-eighth Street, and drive eastward cross-town against traffic regulations at a high rate of speed. The shock was also felt in the lob- bies of the new Grand Hotel at Broadway and Thirty-first Street, and northward in the lobbies of the Im- perial and Martinique Hotels in the block above. Captain Ralph Milliei, Acting De- puty Chief Inspestor of the Police De- par.ment, fearing that the expiosions were protests by radicals, and that they might attempt others at other stations, ordered all the patrolmen and sergeants who went off duty at mid- night to gaurd every subway and ele- vated station in the city. Deputy Fire Chief Hanlon, who ar- rived a few minutes before three am- bulances from Belleyue and New York Hospitals, set his men to work im- mediately digging into the wreckage to learn it any s were buried be- neath it. They found only the ticket seller, who was taken to Bellevue Hos- pital before his identity was disclosed. A six-inch bolt pierced the brain of a man whose name was not learned at the explosion in the Twenty-eighth Street Station. He was taken to Bel- levue Hospital. The man was still a- live, but it was said at the hospital that he had little chance for recovery. Half a dozen other men and several women, less severely injured, were - taken to Bellevue, and most of them went home after treatment. New York, Aug. 6.--A 40-foot home-made airship resembling a flying panatella, badly chewed in the middle, ended its maiden voy- age in a dump heap mear Flushing, Queens, Wednesday, to the amuse- ment of thousands of motorists who had followed its increasingly erratic Progress. » "She sprung a leak--that's what made her look that way in the middle," said the lone occupant, Anthony Hensler, of New York, as he unstraddied himself from the flying platform holding a 2-cylind- er motorcycle engine and a 4-foot propeller. » Hensler considered the voyage a success. In two hours he had flown from an old race track at Secausus, NJ., over New York city, and to the dump heap. The blimp was designed and constructed by Mor- gis F. Hamz, a Union City, N.J., in- veator seeking to make an airship that would stay m the air almost ly.
