terson-
There is a difference OF opinion as TO
how the accident occurred. The idea IS
that an immense beam on an upper floor
snapped. and that the floor gave way
and crashed through the building. There
was a great y-shaped Jagged hole in all
the floors, and at the bottom of the wreck
were piled up bags of lime which had
been stored on an upper floor, mingled
with bricks, timbers, beams and tools,
and from the mass the cries or the
wounded were heard. The firemen and
police came early to the scene, and could
hardly See to perform their work OF res
cue because of the cloud of lust that
poured from the wreck. Many friends
and relatives of the dead and injured
were there and witnessed the distress
ing incidents. When Coroner Fitzpatrick
arrived to look after the dead lie. as
that the collapse was caused by the
breaking of beam. There were others
who said that the building had been origf-
naliy Intended to he only seven stories
high, and that the eighth when added had
been too heavy for the ironwork- The
builder denied this. without being able to
form any idea as to the cause of the col
lapse.
A number of men who were engaged in
the building soon after the accident oc-
Cured left the scene. This makes 1t I'M
possible to say just how many men are
actually missing. and the true number
will not be known until these have re-
ported to their foreman. 1t was said at
the scene of the disaster that the cause
was undoubtedly the overlooking or the
sixth floor with material.
Workmen came to the legs of man In
the ruins at 4:30, and after digging for
two hours extricated the body, which was
that of Charles Peterson. the electrician.
Harry Alexander. manager of an electri-
cal company, has written a letter assert
ing that when John Smith, the wire man.
was brought from the ruins the surgeons
from rival hospitals, whom he terms
''bloodthirsty butchers" fought for the
body and almost upset the stretcher. But
for this delay he thinks Smiths life
might have been saved. He died on the
way to the hospital.
