Cooper, who Is Con ducting Revival at French Broad Church to Speak. Returning Passengers Tell Thrilling Stories of Air Raid On London New York, Sept. 21. A handful of persons of the millions who saw the ftrt Zepp"lin raid over the heart of London on the night of September 8 reached New York - yesterday on steamer Orduna with thrilling stories of the fisht in the sky between the Invading craft and the British airmen. It Is said that three Zeppelin's flew over the city, although those who re lated the stories today saw only one. This circled over the theater and hotel districts, dropping explosives and in cendiary linrr.bs. One of the latter Is said tc have destroyed by fire an en tire block of warehouses within five minutes walk of St. Paul's church. An explosive bomb ripped through a !xi8tnry tenement building !n the center nf tho city, shattering the struc ture from top to bottom and killing a doien men, women and children while trey slept. Several bombs, according to the eye 'ltnense, foil near three hospitals In t cluster, the central one of which Is the Opthalmlc hospital, which were full of wounded soldiers. All three of the huildlngs were rocked to their foundations and not a pane of glass In either of them were left intact The patients were moved into the street md lay there for hours on their cots while the riamane was repaired. Story of the Raid. Pieced together from the accounts of those who saw the raid, the story or the occurrence follows: ' The raid took place between 10:43 ud 11:15 o'clock p. m.. on the night of September 9, a raid on the previous "ant having reached the eastern sec tion of the city but not the heart. Persons arfleen in the Metronole. the Victoria and other hotels were awak (wd by the Incessant whirring of ae- lopiane engines as the British airmen '"on wing to repel the invaders. Just " Zeppelin appeared over the Strand, most of the . theaters were pouring their crowds Into the streets. According to some of the passengers a panic impended v .ien the first word of the approach of the air craft passed from mouth to mouth. The lights were turned off and men and women In evening clothes fought for taxlcabs and other vehicles to take them home, Others said there was no panic but that a great wave of fear seemed to engu'lf that section of the darkened city before the antl-air-craft guns be gan to pop away. Suddenly from every section of London tho akles were swept by the long white beams of a score of search lights, the 'tops of which were not long In resting oh what they sought. When the Zeppelin was wound a dozen or more search lights focussed their rays upon It. Two search lights finally centered on .the Zeppelin, while the other lights continued tp search tlf sky. The roar of guns from the city was punctuated at intervals' by the explo sion of bombs from the invaders which fell In Newgate street, not far from St. Paul's cathedral, in Holborn, in Cheapslde, 1 Bloomfleld street, near the Liverpool street station and near the water front section in which. St. Paul's Is located. , I There are hardly a space of five seconds during the ten minutes or more that the search light beams rested on the raider that the sky was not brightened by the flash of ex ploding shells. The bursting shells, . lighting the sky like meteors, shattered into sud den Are all around the Zeppelin, maneuvered over the Holborn section of London, alrling at least twice. These maneuvers ended when a shell burst almost directly under the air craft's bow. A swerve, a sudden dip and the searchlights lost the Zeppelin. They were on her a moment after and It was seen that she appeared to be go ing down by the head. For a few sec onds she hovered as if uncertain what to do, then righted herself, pointed her nose slightly upward and ascended so rapidly that within a minute or two the searchlights could find her no more. There were no further bomb explosions thereafter. The next day Londoners went out to see what damage had been done. Hav ing noticed that the sky In the vicinity of St Paul's had been tinted red, as If by glow of a great fire, they went In that direction first. Back of the cathedral where there are many ware houses near the city front, they came upon the first visible effect of the raid. An entire city block was In ashes with only the smudged shells of build ings left standing. The sight-seers heard that the burned buildings had been big warehouses, filled with cloth ing and other supplies for the British army. There were no munitions in the buildings, however, it was said. In Bloomfield street, two and one half miles from Trafalgar square a row of dwellings had been demolished as if by artillery fire. The damage extended over an area of about three blocks. There wag a cavity in the middle of the street thirty feet deep. Guides in motor buses was carrying steady streams of sightseers to the va rious points where the greatest dam age had been wrought, v Altogether, It was unofiiclally reported, approxi mately forty persons were killed b'y bombs and 200 or more wounded. About half of these, it was said, were women and children. Not a government building, not a church nor an arsenal dock or a hospital had been reached by a bomb, the Orduna's passengers were inform ed. The greatest material damage was the destruction by fire of the block of warehouses. The chief result of the raid, however, was to swell the num ber of recruits by many thousands. Jimmle Hickman, he of the home run brigade and one of the fastest outfielders' who ever played in the Carolina league, a member of the Asheville team during the present and formerly owned by Detroit, has Jumped to the Baltimore Federals and is now playing with that team, according to reports received in Ashe ville yesterday. Hickman left the Asheville atem at the end of the Carolina season at Durham on September 15, and while several of the players thought that he wtes going to Detroit to report, that team owning him, according to the terms of a contract made with Man ager Clancey of the Winston ; team where Hickman played last : year. others knew that he was going to Baltimore and to join the Feds. Since becoming a member of the Feds Hick man has been playing under ... the name of David Hicks, it Is stated, and he has been going fine, having secur ed three singles in one game which he recently participated in. Hickman is a native of Johnson City, Tenn., and was formerly a stu dent at Bingham Military school in this city. At the starting of the old Appalachian league he played with Johnson City - and later was 'secured by Clancey for Winston, with which team he played last year. He was sold to Detroit' and reported during the latter part of last year. Detroit farm ed him out to Chattanooga last sea son and he started the season this year with the Lookouts, but owing to his inability to get along with the manager, it is stated that he asked to be sent ,to Asheville and Detroit granted the wish.
