New York, Jun U:-(By A. P.)
A violent storm accompanied by

Omaha !: Law4 fl'lr.
New York, June II. Six people
are known to have died and 50 were
injured when high wind wrecked a
Ferris wheel at Classon Point, on
the Bronx shore of Lpng Island
sound, just before 6 this evening, in
one of the worst cloudbursts and
electrical storms in this city and vi
cinity in years.
Several others are believed to have
lost their lives when canoeists and
others, seeking relief from the op
pressive heat of the city, were caught
far from a haven of safety by the
terrific wind and rainfall and light
ning that struck greater New York
ana environs with .the suddenness of
lightning itself.
At Classon Point, where thousands
of New Yorkers sought refuge from
the city's oppressive heat, a steel
Ferris wheel, measuring 100 feet in
diameter, was blown down at the
height of the storm. . ,
Wheel Topples to Ground.
,.So suddenly did the storm break
that the crew, operating the big
,. wheel, in which 60 people were be
ing rapidly revolved, were unable to
stop the machine and allow the
passengers to alight. With a rend-
' ing crash, the wheel with its load of
shrieking men, women and children,
toppled to the ground, part of it
burying itself in the water of a
bathing beach nearby.
Crawling through the wreckage,
while a deluge of rain "fell upon
them, the rescuers, led by park em
ployes, carried the maimed to a re-
' creation pier 50 feet away," where
they were laid out in rows, pending
arrival of physicians. Five ambu
lances quickly - responded ' and in
them as well as in commandeered
automobiles, the injured were sent
to hospitals. .
Police Take Charge -
Deputy Police Chief Dominick
Henry and District Attorney Edward
Glennotr of Bronx county were soon
on the scene with 200 police reserves
and took charge. ;";''. '':s iV '.''''"
Several doctors and many priests
from the ; newly' 'organized Catholic
church at Classon Point adminis

Five bodies had been taken, from
the wreckage at a late hour. More
bodies of those unaccounted for .may
be still in the ruins. Police and
firemen are working under a glare
of searchlights,' hurrying fest some
be still alive. -
- In addition to telegraph and tele
phone wires being blown down, big
trees were uprooted and many build
ings jn the storm zone were razed.
Plate glass windows were crashed
all over Greater , New York and
signs were torn from their moorings
and sent on the breast of the winds,
some being carried for blocks, r
Auto Hit by Lightning.
At Thirty-fourth and Broadway
an automobile was struck by light

with fire apparatus which answered
the alarm. ' '..

the Ferris wheel accident, a schooner

over in the sound. There has been

Morgan Says Government
Should Show Clearly It LV
I sire to Meet Reparations
) Obligations.
Conference Is Suspended
Copyright.
Paris, June 11. The Morgan com
mittee of bankers adjourned for an
indefinite period, and the hope of
putting , the German reparations
problem upon a more practical basis
and then converting the revised rep
arations into immediate loans, has
definitely failed for the present. Mr.
Morgan left for London en route to
America. " '.''"
A report to the reparations conv
mission by the bankers explains why
a great international loan for Ger
many is impossible now. The salient
points follow: .
1. If France . does not ' desire , an
inquiry into the more general condi
tions necessary for the re-establish'
ment of Germany's external credit
the committee does not feel justified
in undertaking such an inquiry.
. Favorable Atmosphere Essentials
2. The committee considers that
a favorable atmosphere is essential
to a successful flotation of the loan.
It is known that the differences in
view among the members of the com'
mission as to the limits of the com
mittee's mandate have, for the time
Being, created an atmosphere un
favorable to such an issue.
In a personal statement Mr. Mor
gan said he considered the two es
sentials to the loan were that the
loan should be at the request and for
the benefit of the allied nations, and
that to the technical security to
be given by Germany and the re
habilitation of its . internal finance
situation, Germany - should show
clearly its desire to .meet its obliga
tions in .the hope that by the fulfill
ment of these obligations - it could
re-establish its credits as one of the
commercial nations of the world. ;
Should Establish Credit.
. Mr. Morgan -said -the two funda
mental conditions for American par
ticipation were unanimity among the
leaders and establishment of the bor
rowers' credit. He then states he was
forced to the conclusion that neither
condition could be complied with and
that no loan to Germany, of a char
acter nuMiarv Sn the nreaent situa
tion, could be offered to and pur-
chased by the. .raencan. investor. f
The entire 'committee expfeSaed Hs
complete willingness to take up the
question again at the desire of the
reparations commission, but private
ly they say they will not taice me
initiative in convening again. f.

statement.

Europe Skeptical
Over Success of

"-Abandoning Stand on Com

The Hague. June 11. (By A.' P.)
Holland, with traditional Dutch
deliberation and thoroughness, is
preparing a proper reception for the
adjourned Genoa conference on Rus
sian affairs which will meet here
next Thursday. Vice Premier Bar
thou of France has allegorically call
ed the conference "The child of
Cannes," because it was bom of the
supreme council meetings in the
French Riviera which decided upon
an effort-at European economic re
construction and called the Genoa
conference, of : which The Hague
meeting is an outgrowth.
If one may judge from the reports
emanating from the various capitals
of Europe, however, the health of
the conference infant leave? much
to be desired. Official Russian
soviet utterances show no disposition
to abandon the soviet stand on com
munism nor withdraw the Jamous
memorandum submitted at Genoa on
May 11, which the allies and neutrals
alike found unacceotahle as ti:
for immediate negotiations.
