NEW YORK, N.Y. -- A crowd of 3,000 packed around the undertaking parlors where Rudolph Valentino lies in state, got beyond control this afternoon and broke into a plate glass window.

Two women and one man were severely injured; three women collapsed and a policeman was slightly cut by shattered glass before the police quelled the disturbance.
