the problem of World peace by some

BIG MEETING .
TF1]. 0F; BLAST
THAT KILLED
MRS. HORNlCK
It was brought out at the inquest
into the death of Mrs. Elizabeth
Hornick. before Coroner John J.
Phelan yesterday afternoon in. the
City Hall that when the blast was
set off the dynamite had simply
been laid on the top of the rock and
covered over with some dirt. ,
Medical Examiner Samuel H.
Huntington said that a fracture‘at
the base of the skull was the direct
cause of the death of Mrs. Hornlck.
‘He stated that the jaw bone. on the
left side of the face were fractured
and that she had a. deep cut extend-
ing from her left ear to her mouth.
Sheriff Oliver 1. Clark told of in-
vestigating the casc‘ and produced
the stone which he stated that An-
tonio Decesarc had given him and
which Mr. Dcccsare stated he
thought was the rock that, killed
Mrs. Hornick.
Antonin Decrsarc of 6 Mulvoy
street said that he “as working in
a lot near the scene and that. when
the blast was set off he saw stones
flying through the air and that he
and Mr. Hornlck bent toward the
ground so that they would not be
struck. .
Steve liuzlna who resides about
int) foot cast of the scene. of the
blasting .told of seeing Joseph Gall
trying to light the fuse and that the
match went out and while Gull went
to get another. Kerkers produced
a. match and lighted the fuse. He
heard no warning. but shouted
"Fire" himself. lie saw a rock com-
ing in the direction of the place
where he was sitting and Jumped up
to avoid being struck. As he Jump-
ed up he saw Mrs. Hornlck fall and
he ran to where she was. He pick-
ed up her comb, a knife with which
she had been cutting up potatoes
and a pickle. He said 'on the stand
that ‘the men had been blasting in
the morning and that they had cov-
ered up their blasts. but that in the
afternoon, they did not. Huzlnn said
that Mr. Szabo had asked him to
close the blinds on his house in the
morning. so that the flying stones
would not break the windows.
Among the others to testify were
Steve Pollack who was in a nearby
'lot at the time the blast went off.
with his six-year-old ‘s‘on.
Joseph llornlck. stepson of the
dead woman and \Villianl Muhlb‘crg-
or 9f 21 Plymouth avenue, who was
talking to Mrs. liornlck at the time.
James Hornick. husband of the
dead woman, said that he heard no
warning and that the blast was not
covered.
Salvatore Cliariott of Chestnut
strcqt local contractor was called to
the stand as an expert on dynamite
and the blasting of rock. He stated
that men should have covered the
rock before they blasted and that
they should have drilled holes in the
rock. instead of laying the dynamite
on top of the rock. as the rock was
too large to split in that manner.
He informed Coroner Phclan that
it made no great difference whether
a fuse or battery was used in setting
off the blast.
Judge John Keogh represented
Steve Szabo, Joseph Gall «and John
Kerkcs.
It is expected that the decision of
the coroner will be handed down in
the near future.

“Don‘t go to Europe to do your
.‘Of 1924 Alumni
shopping. Don't go to Europe with
the expectation of spending s Joy-
ous vacation thero." is the advice of
Hy Mayer. the famous cartoonist.
who returned to Norwulk lost Fri-
day with his wife. Mr. and Mrs.
Mayer have spent the last
months touring Europe. This last
was Mr. Mayer‘s twenty-sixth visit
to the continent. ‘
"Europe is in s turmoil." said Mr.
Mayer. “The people don’t know
themselves where they are at. There
are many dissensions between the
different peoples, and even greater
political dtssc‘nsionswithin each nu-
tion, so Europe is not in a. recipient
mood to accept visitors.
“One thing is certain. the 'chio' of
the world is out of Europe. You can
see more style in one block on Fifth
avenue than in the whole of Europe.
Such places as Nice and Monte Carlo,
which formerly were the play-
grounds of the leaders of the world.
arc today a bedlam of war prontcers
of all the different European nations.
The peoplu‘lhat formerly were the
representatives there of each nation
have disappeared.
"We arrived in France. where we
visited Paris. Nice and Monte Carlo.
Then we went through Italy to Vien-
na. Prague. Carlsbad, Nuernberg.
and Frankfort. and through Holland
by way of Rotterdam to London.
The latter place. of all the places We
visited. seems most like its former
self.
"Paris, the naughty and nl'. is
still say. due to the llght-hcsrtcd
spirit of the French people. But shut
your eyes to the proffered up-io-dsto
exhibitions in its theatres. It can
only be that Paris is entering to an
overflow of newly-rich low-brows.
The ‘rcvues' in Paris are positively
vulgar. Some of the theatre; among
them the Le Comedic Francoise. and
oven the operas. have still retain“
their respectability and chum. 4......

which was very good. But the sing.
on were not as good as some I have
heard in America. There is no opera
in the world to compare with the
Metropolitan. ,
Tho Theatres.
“in the theatres in London is
found a charming respectability and
the extravagant display of real lul—
cnt. The theatrical presentations in
Europe are not as good as in Amer-
ica, except perhaps in London. There
are some good plays there that will
eventually find their woypovcr here.
the same as American plays are
promptly produced in London.
Really. there was little choice of new
plays, as most of the novelties had
come from America.
“Tho theatres in the central Eu-
ropean countries are always packed.
because the people are working and
earning money, want to spend it
