Two lives wre lost yesterday In the worst storm within the- memory of Coney Island waterfnrmt men. The drownings occurred off Coney Island whin a life boat battling tin-heavy seas overturned and spilled ils occupants Into the water. The boat had j.ist put out from the fishing boat Halcyon, which had split in two and sunk. John Van KU et and a member of his crew are the two t'io perished. The bodies have not been recovered.

Fifteen s'liv Ivors of the Halcycn picked up by the motor hosit Decomah of Shcepshead Buy, commanded by Capt. Frederick Kirk of 275 WyckofT ave. and landed at the loot of Bay Ridge ave. Four other tnotorboats, seen flying distress signals, had not been heard from today, but It Is believed they put into some place along the coast. The Halcyon, wmcn carrten nsn- ncr names to ine oanas oi Jersey and Long Island, left the Battery early yesterday and ran into the storm off the Rockaways.

High waves broke over her decks and she began to fill rapidly. A passing tugboat failed to heed her distress signals. When the situation became hopeless the passengers put out in lifeboats and the fishing smack slid beneath the waves. One of the life, boats overturned and tho resf were taken in tow. Several passengers had to be rescued with boathooks.

The Halcyon was owned by Capt. Frank Sehwartzman. According to the Weather Bureau observers a terrific storm was raging between the Atlantic coast and Bermuda and that would explain the heavy sea running. Today the sea was much calmer with little danger of any further damage being done. 5 BURNED TO DEATH AS POT OF MOLTEN STEEL SLIPS CABLE Farrell, Pa Oct.

19 A crane operator was roasted to death In his steel cage and four other men were s-o badly burned that they died In a hospital, when a cable slipped and spilled 70 tons of molten steel at the Farrell plant of the Carnegie bteel Company last night. The dead are Clayton Usher of Sharpsvllle; John Hoohler of Trouts Corners; Robert Phillips or vvneat- Innd: Claude Semlee of Sharon ana Theodore Brown of Farrell. Sendee, the crane man in me open-hearth department, had Just hooked onto the giant ladle, carrying its 0 tons of steel heated to 2,500 de grees. As the load approacnea me elevated pouring platform on which four workmen were standing, th? cable slipped and the mass of molten metal crashed to the earth floor. As lt fell, the molten steel exploded, probably due to dampness In the floor.

The flying metal showered tho four men on the platform, who were unable to escape. Their cloth ing was burned from them and their bodies terribly seared. Meanwhile the crane operator, imprisoned In his traveling cage above the terrific heat of the spilled metal, was quickly roasted to death.

I Who I I Kismet Temple Meeting Brings Out Many in Campaign for Safety. The Long Island Automobile Club, at a meeting held last night at Kis met Temple on Herkimer launched a campaign for the removal of railroad grade crossings which have been the scene of a large number of casualties throughout the State. An executive commltteo of five members will be appointed within a few days and a larger commltteo representative of civic organizations will be named later to com pel the Legislature to enact laws for Ihe removal of grade crossings. The Long Island Railroad, with scores of Buch crossings, will be called upon In tho early stages of the campaign, which It Is expected will become nation-wide, to lower or elevate the tracks at highway intersections. "There is no spot In the entire country where there are sp many ath traps In the form of grade crossings as there are on Long Is- and." declared Richard H.

Lee, vice president of the National Motorists Association, who presided at the meeting. Judge Lee, who was an Ohio Jurist before he came to the East, said those behind the move- ent are planning tho creation of a nation-wide organization with chairmen in every State in order "to re move the greatest menace In the country the grade crossing death trail." After pointing out that today tne great bulk of tho public travel in motor cars. Judge Lee referred to the fact that 27,000 school busses are being operated dally In rural districts. The danger that tho nun dreds of thousands of school chll dren who use these busses are sub jected to because of dangerous grade crossings Is apparent. "I do not care what amount of money the elimination of grad crossings would cost." said Mr.

Lee. If elimination will save one life the expenditure will be amply Justified, necessary, we will tight tne rail roads. This Is a public safety move ment, not a fight waged by motor car owners." The chairman Introduced as speak ers: Assemblyman Julius Ruger, James J. McCue, vice president of the Highland Park Civic Assocla tion: Assemblyman Howard C. Franklin; former Secretary of State Francis M.

Hugo, Sheriff Peter Seery, Assemblyman Walter F. Clayton and John Drescher, Republican candidate for County Clerk. The last-named speaker delivered a political speech in which he urged his own election and his associates of the G. O. P.

ticket. Former Secretary of State Francis M. Hugo declared that the millions of dollars appropriated annually by he Stato for the construction of highways is wasted unless provision is also mado to elevate or depress railroad tracks at Intersections. In he last session of the Legislature, he said, the State appropriated $22,000,000 for highways and only $500,000 for the elimination of grade rossings. Between 1915 and 1923 he number of motorcars In tho State has increased from 100,000 to 1,301.

000. The State of New York. he said, had not done Its duty in removing dangerous grade crossings. Sheriff Peter Seery said that If only one life could he spared by the appropriation of large sums for the purpose of eliminating the evil, the expenditure would be Justified. and telegrams from Wil liam A.

Prendergnst, chairman of lie Public Servico Commission: Boro President Edward Rlegelmann and several legislators were read, in which the writers pledged their support. The meeting was attended by 100 representatives of the Long is land Automobile Club and civic organization. STANDARD OIL CO. BUYS L. I.

London, Oct. 19 It ts estimated that 15.000,000 contributors to the National Health Fund will be affected by the action of the "Panel Doctors' Union" in refusing to accept a reduction in fees proposed by the Minister of Health. The physicians decided to strike on Jan. 1 If th' cut in their stipend was ordered. Meanwhile, the millions who are insured under the National Insurance Act will find their protection useless.

The disgruntled physicians, however, are careful to announce that they do not Intend to let the public suffer and that they have already drafted a plan for public medical service which will meet the situation. "We will give the patients exactly the same attention as now," said Dr. Brackenbury, one of the leaders of the physicians' movement. "Those who can afford lt will be required to pay ordinary fees. Others who cannot will be charged reduced fees, while the really needy will be attended free."

BLOODSTAINS START NEW HUNT FOR RICH REALTOR; WIFE HELD San Diego, Oct. 19 Developments in tho search for George E. Schick, prominent and wealthy San Diego real estate man, missing since last February, centered today about the discovery of wjfat was thought to be bloodstained fragments of underwear found at the former Schick home here.

A chemical analysis will determine whether the stains are human blood. Officers have examined the house at El Cajon, where Schick's wife and E. Drew Clark were arrested on a charge of forging Schick's name, and another party of deputies visited an old cemetery above Tla Juana. Lower California, with the object of exhuming the body of an unknown man found about March 9. As the body apparently had been in the river for three weeks, the date of death seemingly coincides with the disappearance of Schick.

Mexican authorities would not permit the exhumation. An old shoe found in the rear of another house here formerly owned by Schick may had to excavations there tr the shoe Is identified having belonged to Schick. CANDY CO.

I 1 1 MRS, STEWART FAILS IN 5TH TRIAL TO GET SPIRIT MESSAGES Mrs. Josl K. Stewart, the Cleveland, Ohio, preacher-medium, todcy failed In her fifth attempt to obtain spirit messages from the world at a seance In the offices it the Scientific American, whose prfie of $2,500 for nn exhibition of sclentiflc supernatural phenomena she came here to capture, and she is going buck to Cleveland minus the prize and her railsoad fare. Mrs. Stewart failed In her Hires initial attempts in the offices of the Scientific American In the Wool- worth Building.

Then, last Tues day, she went tut to the estate of. Mrs. Ned Wayburn where she obtained a number of messages written, she said, by spirits. This test was conducted under conditions laid down by Dr. Hereward Carrington and Dr.

Walter F. Prince, constituting the sub-committee of the grouu to conduct the tests for the publica tion. Both Mrs. Stewart and J. Malcolm Bird, an associate editor of the Scien tific American who Is supervising the tests, banned Joseph Hlnn, the Brooklyn butter and egg dealer from the seance.

They wouldn't even let him know where It was to be held because the? say his skepticism Is somewhat too violent. Mrs. Stewart likewise refused to avail herself of Mr. Rinn'9 offer to double the Scientific Ameri can's prize if she would produce phe nomena under conditions laid aown by Mm. In the office of Science and Inven tion the professional magician, Joseph Dunninger, ran a demonstra tion of spirit and slate writing which was everything that Mrs.

Stewart's had fnlled to be. Mr. Dunninger declared he was no Spiritualist, although hlis writings were signed by the departed great, one of the most amusing being signed by W. T. Stead, who communicated "Yes, wt have no bananas." FIVE IN ONE FAMILY TYPHOID VICTIMS (Npccial to The Eagle.) Bay Shore, L.
