OF PRATT INSTITUTE Faculty, Alumni and Students Gather for Time-Honored Ceremony. GROWN GREATER WITH YEARS. Four Sons of Founder Pay Tribute to Work That Built Big Institution.

The students and faculty of rratt In stitute, together with a number of the alumni ot the Institution, assembled In Emmanuel Baptist Church, Lafayette avenue and St. James place, to celebrate Founders Day. The celebration has been held each year since the endowment of the school in 1887, on October 2, the birthday of Charles M. Pratt, the founder of the institution. Every seat in the church waB occupied this morning, and many of the sl.udent3 stood in the rear of the body of the church and around the gallerieB throughout the services.

Seated on the platform were four sons of the founder, Charles M. Pratt, president of the board ot trustees of tho institute; Frederick B. Pratt, wln is head of the school; Harold I. Pratt and John Pratt, both members of the board of trustees. With them was the Rev.

Nehemiah Boynton, pastor of the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church, who read selections from the Scriptures and led the assemblage In prayer. The services were brief and Informal, Frederick B. Pratt giving review of the year's work at the institute; a brief outlook on the' coming year's work, and a welcome to the new students. Charles M. Pratt spoke on the lite of the founder.

"The founder of the institute," said Charles M. Pratt, "was a man who had very limited advantages, his early years being best described as years of depriva- tion. With this deprivation, however, was the realization that he could better himself by his own efforts, making use of training and knowledge. Ho was a man who loved work for its own sake; and his loyalty to the work in hand made his life one of enthusiasm and ambition. "Men also spoko of tho founder as a humble Christian, one who loved God and loved his fellow-man," said Mr.

Pratt. "And so he was an optimist, for he believed that all was weil with the world when these two forces acted together. If he were here with us now I think his message in regard to tne wonderful things of this age would be to take them with gratitude; use them with courage; to make full use of all the things this age offers. "He would still be an optimist. He would also advise you to learn to think clearly, to think without fear, and without prejudice, whatever the conclusion or conviction might be.

Accept no philosophy, but work out your own philosophy through your own efforts and for your own individuality. Remember always that there are some things in life that never change, however, no matter what other changes time brings about. These are the realities, the truth, the principles ot life, which ever remain the same, and to find out what they are Is the work of our lives." The director of the Institute, Frederick B. Pratt, spoke of the election to the board of trustees of Theodore Pratt, the first of the third generation of the Pratts to attain this honor, as an event of much significance In the past year. It was an indication of the purpose ot the.

trustees to continue the policy of the founder, to make the Institute and its direction a family heritage and a family charge-. Mr. Pratt aUo spoko of the changes in the faculty, of the courses of study ana of tho equipment of the school. RESCUED FROM DROWNING. It Was on Land, but Big Storm Was Raging.

Policeman Herman Schiefcr of the Vernon avenue station never dreamed that conditions would arise which would make him a deep sea rescuer on dry land, but during the terrific storm of last night he got a chance to figure In that role. "I took him In to save him from drowning," he explained, today, when ho was asked what was behind the charge ot intoxication made against Edward Taylor, a plasterer, who gave no addreBS. The rising waters were gradually covering Taylor, who was helpless at Broadway and Myrtle avenue, last I night, when the human police craft an- peared through the gloom and took charge of him. The magistrate suspended sentence on Taylor after he had made him thank his rescuer. I TRAINER HYLAND'S BODY HERE Hequiem Mas in Church of St.

Rain poured into tho cut on the unghton Beach line between Cortelyou road and Avenue yesterday afternoon, and after two hours of steady downpour, traffic was completely tied up and four trains were stalled with water way above the wheels of the ears. The cut Itself looked like a tanal, and from a point just below Beverly road to Ncwkirk avenue there was not one spot In which the tracks or roadbed showed through. Reports of Robberies by Fake Water A Lunpeciui's. ijunw-e aaiu nutning aDOut a rumor which went around Vanderveer Park last night that three alleged water inspectors were on the Job very soon after the flood started.

These gentry were In East Fourteenth street and "tried" the water thero. One of the places visited is said to have missed three diamond rings after the investigation. The lady of this house called up the Water Department and said that the lived in Fourteenth street. She did not say at what address but said that, others of her neighbors had been visited also. At night, the electric lights south of Linden avenue were not burning, and It was dark down Flatbush avenue until nearly 10 o'clock.

Tho Flatbush Gas Company had troubles of Its own with its wires and Its current, but hard, fast work helped tnem to supply light much quicker than they expected Hurricane Adds to Damage in Bay Ridge. In Bay Ridge a sudden gust of wind that resembled a hurricane did much damage in a few minutes yesterday afternoon. Roofs were blown off some old houses at Ovlngton avenue, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, windows were broken in many blocks, board fences and some walls of buildings in course of erection were blown over. In the McKinley Park section, at Seventh avenue and Eighty- sixth street, two large trees were blown over, and a big cave-in occurred over a ewer in Seventh avenue, near Seventy- sixth street. One little girl was reported hurt by flying glass, but otherwise none was Injured.

Many families had to make Improvised windows to keep out the rain and the wind last night and today carpenters and glaziers were In great demand for tho repair of the damage. The stronn wind came between 4 and 5 o'clock, accompanied by thunder and a heavy rain. Greenpoint Factories Are Hard Hit. Many Out of Work. Greerpoint.

with Its numerous factories, suffered heavily from the floods, more, perhaps, than other section of the city. Hundreds of workmen were thrown out of employment when the plants were forced to shut down after the boiler and engine rooms were flooded. Fire engine companies responded to th- appeals for help that manufacturers sent In, and many of the cellars were pumped out by the fire-fighters. Tho old Nlnetenth Ward, known as the flood district and one of the lowest points of the city, was a sheet of water from along in the afternoon until early this morning when the waters receded. Tbo streets in that vicinity were impassable and people were unable to get to their homes unless they waded through the water.

The erosptown. Lorlmer street, Tompkins and Nostrand avenue trolley lines were stalled from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 0 in the evening. Thomas Mitrcott, of the firm of Mur-cott and Campbell, manufacturers of filer; at 298 Union avenue, was forcd to shut down his. plant last night and 150 men were thrown out of work. Mr.

-Murcott declared today that Union avenuo at. that point Is IVi inches below tho official grade, thus forming r. basin. He said he hart complained to the city auhorities from time to time to raise the grade, but to no avail. Hit factory will bnve i- remain closed for a week in order to repair the damage done by the flood.

GRADE PAY IS INCREASED. Many of Police Now Entitled to a Year. The Board of Estimate, at Its meeting today, adopted the report of Controller Prendergast and the other members of tho salaries committee, fixing the compensation of policemen in the sixth and seventh grades at J1.000 per annum. The Increase is retroactive and takes effect from the first day of the current month. These two grades of policemen, at tho present time, are receiving 1500 and J900, respectively.

PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD. lawyer Acting- for Academy Officials Serves Formal Notice on Board of Estimate.

The Board ot Estimate at Its meeting today was formally netlfled by an attor ney representing the officials of the Academy of Music that an objection will ba filed by the Academy authorities against the application of the Manhattan Bridge Three-Cent line for a radical change In Its route In this borough, which would bring its tracks through Ashland place along tho side of the opera house. A preliminary hearing on the petition was set down by the board for Thursday, October 30, and the matter was referred to the Bureau of Franchises. At the public hearing, tho Academy of Music authorities will undoubtedly start a campaign against the proposal to run the car tracks along the side ot their building, similar to that which they waged against the Coney Island and Brooklyn Company when that lino attempted to secure a franchise to operate cars through Ashland place. The defeat of tho Coney Island road's project was In a large measure due to the vigorous opposition of the Academy officials. Further than formally notifying the board of the objection to be made to the granting of the franchise to the Three-Cent line, the attorney would not discuss the matter in any way.

The petition had already been referred to the Franchise Bureau when the attorney put in an appearance. There was no discussion of the subject by any of l'u Estimate Board members. According to tht plans' submitted today the routo will run from its present terminal at the end of the Flatbusli avenue extension a'v. Fulton street, two blocks in Fulton street to Ashland place, und along Ashland place on two tracks to the Long Island Railroad station, at Hanson place. An additional spur, oer which it is planned one-hall of thb car will return to Manhattan, will bianc-U oft tho main line at Lafayette avenue, and from that point will go over tho B.

R. T. tracks through Flatbush avenue nnd Livingston street, and finally join the main line by a single track; through Hoyt and Bridge streets. By tho terms of the original contract, the cars would have been run from th avenue extension through Fulton street to Rockwell place; from there into Flatbush avenue and on to the Long Island Railroad station. The return was to have been by means ot a loop through Atlantic avenue and Third avenue and back again over tho present tracks on Flatbush avenue.

MANY HOMES INUNDATED. Traffic Tied Up for Hours on Surface, 'I' and Subway Lines All Over tlie City. While It Is impossible to estimate the damage resulting from yesterday's storm the heaviest downpour in this locality in ten years Brooklyn property owners awoke today facing losses that will run into tens of thousands of dollars. Practically every section of the borough waB flooded; sewers were taxed far beyond their capacity and the water flowed Into cellars and basements until In hundreds of places It ranged from three to four and a haif feet In depth. Drain pipes, lead ers and gutters on rooofs were unable to drain off the water during the deluge, the downpour was so terrific and so Incessant, and ns a result hundreds of homes wcro completely gutted, from the roof to cellar.

Traffic on the B. R. T. surface lines, the Brighton Beach road and the Long Island Railroad was brought to a standstill along In the afternoon, after thero had been a steady downpour since 7:13 o'clock In the morning, and hundreds of thousands of people were compelled to wade home through rivers and puddles that filled the streets. The fall of rain, which started with a slight drizzle, up to 8 o'clock this morning, was 5.19 Inches, In a little le3S than twenty-five hours.

The heaviest previous downpour recorded here was 9.40 inches In twenty-four hours, on October 8 and 9, 1903, ten years ago, but It was not accompanied by anything like tho damage which resulted from yesterday's storm. While yesterday's rainfall measured a little more than half of that of 1903, it broke all previous records during certain periods, as, for instance, in lower Manhattan, near the Battery, a fall of rain measuring 3.32 inches was recorded in two hours, and in another place 2 Inche3 were recorded in 45 minutes. Brooklyn Heaviest Sufferer Prom Downpour. While the storm was general throughout New York State and New England, the heaviest downpour was in Brooklyn and its environs. This borough suffered more than any other locality, and considerable more damage resulted here than elsewhere, not excepting Manhattan.

While the greatest damage was done by water that poured Into cellars and Lasements from the overflowing sewers and the rain that trickled through root tops, a number of buildings were struck by lightning that flashed vividly in the darkened skies, accompanied by terrific peals of thunder. In various sections of the borough there were heavy gusts of wind Hint resembled hurricanes, and fences and parts of buildings were toppled over, root tops blown off, window panes shattered and a number of persons slightly hurt. All over tho borough the streets were like lakes, and raging torrents where the water gushed down inclines. In many sections it was impossible for the trolley cars to proceed, "the water was so deep (and even taxicahB were stalled when they sought to drive through the puddles. Hoi'3e vehicles alone could make headway, and thousands af people prevailed upon drivers of wagons and trucks to take them to their destination.

Property Owners Without Redress for Overflowing of Sewers. Despite the enormous damngo resulting ubu. tj niwiers vi Brooklyn have no redress against the city, under a ruling of the Appellate Di vision. From yesterday afternoon un to tills afternoon, Superintendent Taylor, of deluged with complaints, and as fast as nitj- vumu iu Hrtiipa ui IHUI1 were U1S- to repair whatever damage was rlntm ta rnonlt nf rmlo oml out cellars, basements, engine rooms, cic, ntic il nas uueiueu auvisauie to have no delay. Traffic Tied Up for Hours.

The effects of the storm were seen thrcughout the entlra borough today, particularly in the outlying sections. After a tleup of several hours, tho surface lines of the B. R. T. got under way last night, after tho waters had receded and the Brighton Beach line, which was tied up worse than any other road, didn't resume traffic from Cortelyou road to Avenue until 1:20 o'clock this morning.

Fourth Avenue Subway Excavation Filled With Water. The Fourth avenue subway excavation was filled with water today from one end to the other, and In some places between Fortieth and Forty-ninth streets it was as deep as 6 and 7 feet. There were several washouts in the excavation and during the height of the storm yesterday afternoon the gas mains burst at Forty-fifth street and Fourth avenue. Fearing a washout at Second avenue and Ninth street, where the high pressure mains are being installed, the Smith street cars were run through Union street Instead of Ninth. Many Houses and Stores Flooded in Bedford Section.

Throughout the Bedford section all last night and this morning, householders and business people were engaged In the work of bailing out. the cellars and stores that were flooded during the storm yesterday afternoon. Two business men at Nostrand and Putnam avenues, whose shops were flooded, estimated their damage at.
