Grego Koscianis, a worker at the American Sugar Refining Company plant at the foot of Fourth Street Williamsburg, was buried under a sugar pile for about thirty minutes after falling into a chute while trying to move a belt. About 4,500 pounds of sugar covered him before rescuers dug through from the pile’s sides, and Dr. Cohn of Williamsburg Hospital treated him for an hour before he was out of danger. He lives at 202 East Twenty third Street, Manhattan.
