New Tube Tied Up 2 Hours hy Cable Blowout One fatal and many less serious motor crashes occurred yesterday on traffic-jammed highways in and near the city as 1,000,000 persons sought relief rom steadily rising temperatures.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway today. By the same stroke of late Billy Arnold, 29-year-old Chicagoan, 1930 winner of the event, was robbed of almost certain victory when he met with a tragic accident which resulted in the burning of his car while he was speeding to apparent victory In the last 100 miles of the race. Arnold, seeking to repeat his triumph of a year ago, had led from the start, except for six laps, when his car, racing around the treacherous north turn of the track at terrific speed, threw a left front wheel and sent him crashing into the car driven by Luther Johnson of South Bend, Ind.

Both Escape Death The car immediately caufht fire and burned, but Arnold miraculously escaped death, along with his mechanic, Spider Matlock of Los Angeles. Johnson's car was wrecked but did not burn. Johnson likewise escaped with only a few scratches. Within a few seconds after Arnold cracked up, the machine driven by Tony Gulotta, Kansas City, who was running third, smashed into the retaining wall at the very spot where Arnold met with his accident. These two accidents, coming a few seconds apart in the closing miles of the race, threw Schneider, the lanky 30-year-old son of an Indianapolis tailor, into the lead, which he maintained until the finish, crossing the line 2V4 miles ahead of Fred Frame, Los Anelc.

Rome, May 30 (P) Rela tlons between the Church and State, strained by anti-Catholic disorders of the past few days, became even more critical today when the police closed all the Catholic clubs of Rome and Pope Plus cancelled the Eucharlstic Con-v-gress, which was to have been held next week. Vatican's Ordcn The Pope tonight Instructed Catholic bishops of Italy to take activ personal charge of the organization of the Catholic action In their dlo. ceses and to await special further orders from the Vatican, The Pope conferred thU af with leaders of the society at the v' Vatican, and the publication of Os-scrvatore Romano, official Vadcan organ, was held up four hours awnlt- ing the Pope's announcement.

-i The statement, as publishod, said: "While awaiting mora grave and violent forms of aggression against Catholic action in Italy, the blsh-ojjs, on whom the society, by means Luminaries for the minority leadership of the State Senate are the Democratic members above: (1) Henry G.

Only Badly Bruised Hill, badly bruised, but not seriously Injured, was taken from the barrel shortly before 7 o'clock. He was moved to his Niagara Falls home. Word from St. Cnlherlne's said a man with a rope tied about his waist had swam out to the barrel and with it was pulled to the side No word at first whether Hill was dead or alive was obtainable at St Catherine's. Then came the good news.

Hill entered his barrel from the American side and was towed to midstream above the lower bridge below the falls themselves. His bar rel shot through the foaming rapids at a dizzy pace to be caught up by the whirlpool within five minutes Hill started at 3:20 to get through the Rapids and Whirlpool. A short time later he was still alive bu: apparently weakening. His barrel after a circuit of nearly three hours In the Whirlpool was noticeably lower In the water and It was feared the leaking barrel would fill and be drawn beneath the sur face. Too Far Away to Help Hill's plight at ft o'clock seemed hopeless.

Men and ropes were on hand as the Whirlpool cave no sign of letting the barrel from its endless circuit; but the nearest point that could be reached was 75 to 100 feet away, too far to throw a rope. An attempt was made to get an airplane to drop a rope down to the imprisoned man, who has only air holes in the barrel. A machine obtained within a short time from one of the adja cent fields might perform the dan gerous feat of flying low over the seething whirlpool and between the towering cliffs, It was said. The feat seemed almost Impcs sible, even if Hill were sufficiently strong to grasp a rope, but it seemed the last chance of saving the vet eran riverman's life. Woman First Over Falls A woman was the first human to go over Niagara Falls and live to tell of her experiences.

She was Mrs. Anna Edson Taylor, who went over in a wooden barrel, Oct. 24, 1901. The next successful attempt was made by Bobby Leach, who went over the Horseshoe Falls, and, although severely bumped in the 158-foot drop, was alive when taken from his steel chamber. The last successful attempt was that of Jean A.

Lussier of Springfield, who went over In a rubber ball, sustaining but a few minor bruises. 4 Boy Auto Theft Suspects Arraigned Four Brooklyn youths arrested in Boston In an alleged stolen auto were arraigned in Morrisania Court yesterday.

"For the Diocese of Rome, the-members should regard the Cardinal-Vicar as leader. 10,000 In Italy The directors of Ihe society, to whom the Holy Father desires to send his words of particular eulogy and benediction, shall regard the bishops as their leaders." There are 300 Catholic clubs la Rome and more than 10,000 In Italy. The closing order is expected to be extended gradually Into the provinces, although tonight those in other cities were still operating.

Larger than ever before, numbering at least 60,000, they jammed both sides of every inch of the three-mile route, clustered on roofs, peering from windows, pressed against the cordon of Boy Scouts and policemen along the curb.

Letters Reveal Deatha Although neighbors said every thing seemed normal at the Lewis home last Tuesday, they said the home was silent Wednesday. Yesterday friends of the family began receive mysterious letters, one of which said the two women had been killed in an accident.

A post-mortem indicated that the women had died of poison, but this was unofficial until after an inquest. One of the letters said: "They have been buried with all reverence a pretty spot, with flowers over them. I shall soon Join them." ai Jones cacn eiate ranc uie holiday crowd was estimated at 25,000. About 10,000 went bathing. Despite the exodus from tho cicy.

few traffic jams were reported. Highways leading into Long Island from Brooklyn and Manhattan carried very heavy traffic, but it was distributed throughout the day. Tonight is when police expect ab normal jams. In Brooklyn 125 addi tional traffic policemen have been assigned to break up jams as the week-end crowds return between 6 and 12 p.m. In Queens the additional tranic force assigned to assist holiday traf- home totals 25.

As a result, power was shut off, terminating operation from the City Hall station td Court St. After half an hour power was restored at City Hall station, but not at the tunnel. Trains using the tunnels the Fort Hamilton and Brighton and Culver were rerouted over the Manhattan Bridge.

Service Restored At p.m. repairmen managed to fix the Brooklyn bound track re storing it to operation. Eight minutes later the Man hattan-bound track was returned to operation. The Court St. and Lawrence St stations were hit hardest by the break in service.

At these stations It was necessary to close the gates and keep would-be passengers out. mree Manhattan trains were stalled when the power went off. A Mannattan bound train was caught in the tunnel, about 401 feet from the Whitehall St. station, After waiting IF minutes for the re sumption of power, trainmen led 50 passengers along the tracks to the platform. At the Cortlandt St.

station there was a train on the Brooklyn-bound side of the platform and a train on the Manhattan side. Service over the new Nassau- Broad St. subway confused numbers of riders yesterday. Many who boarded trains In lower Brooklyn for the Hudson terminal or points along the Broadway line to the north found themselves speeding along the east, side of southern Manhattan to the Chambers St. station instead.

The confusion was due to the fact that the new system introduces two Montague St. tunnel services. Heretofore any T. train marked "tunnel" ran through the lower west side of Manhattan. Yesterday the Culver non-rush hour service was Introduced and this splits away from the Montague St.

With a blazing sun beating down on him, Mr. Hoover spoke with earnestness and feeling as he likened the country's present economic de pression to another Valley Forge. Dressed in formal morning wear, the President suffered from heat during his address. Perspiration formed on his forehead and ran down his face.

A number of persons were over come in the sweltering heat and received attention from the emergency medical corps on the camp ground. At the conclusion of the speech the Crowd called for Mrs. Hoover, who received an ovation. She re sponded with a wave of her hand.

Before John Francis Curry can get the crown for his man he has to take It from its temporary resting place on the brow of Senator John Dunnigan of the Bronx.

When the late Senator Bernard Downing, feeble and sick, finally took the advice of his doctors and retired to the seclusion of an up-State sanitarium, Dunnigan was made acting leader for the purpose of directing the minority on the Legislative Committee investigating New York City. A 'Gas House' Boy Dunnigan is slim, experienced and astute. A product of the old Gas House district, he is proud of it. He believes New York is the finest, cleanest, grandest city in the world. He says so in language that is picturesque and forceful because of its lack of flowery phrases.

The outstanding Dunnigan crack last session was his dubbing the Republican State Chairman Wild Bill Macy. He made a grand speech defending Mayor Walker, the late Charles P.
