HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
VENTILATOR CAUSE
MANY DEATHS.
Eighteen Men and Boys Fatally In
jured-Scores Hurt-Were Watching
Football Game at Time.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 30
A distressing accident occurred here
yesterday causing the death of eighteen
men and boys and serious inJurying Of
at least eighty more. The horror of the
affair was brought home more impress
sively by the fact that every one of the
victims was an instant before death or
injury overlook him was engaged in
watching the football game between the
Stanford and Berkeley eleVens The
cause of the affair was the collapsing
of the ventilator in the roof of the San
Francisco and Pacific Glass Company
under the weight of over a hundred
spectators who had crowded upon It.
So far as can be ascertained the vic
Tins have only themselves to blame for
the accident. The building is situated
on Fourteenth street between Folsom
and Harrison and as the roof is between
30 and 60 feet in height, gives an excel
lent view of the football grounds In
their eagerness to witness the game
accumulated by their probable lack Of
FUNDS the hundred or more men and
boys saw in the glass companys build
ing an opportunity for viewing the
sport. The grounds are surrounded by
high board fence but over this the
crowd scrambled while others ran
through the gates and started for the
roof. In vain Manager Davis warned
.
He told them that it was not very
strong and could not withs e. nd their
weight. His advice was Gieregarded
the crowd got on the very top of the
Ventilator.
Underneath the ventilator were the
long furnaces used in giving the neces-
sary heat for making glass. 1t had
taken over month to get them to the
proper temperature, fully a thousand
degrees farenheit The game had been
in progress about twenty minutes when
suddenly without warning the ridge
pole of the Ventilator collapsed precipt-
tating the hundred or more people be-
low. Some fell upon the top of the fur
mace others struck upon the floor.
While those who struck upon the floor
received serious and frequently fatal
injuries, the horror of the scene was on
the top of the furnace. The heat was
so great that a persons shoes would
have been burned from his feet in at
tempting to cross it.
With scores of helpless victims lying
prone upon the heat ladened surface the
rescuers were driven almost to distrac-
ton for in many cases it was impossible
to remove the sufferers in time to save
their lives the clothes being burned
from the bodies of those on the furnace.
Fourteen people died within short
time and four more succumbed during
the night. In the majority of cases the
victims were boys and death was due
to fracture of the skull. The strangest
part of the affair was that many OF
those who fell picked themselves up
without assistance and limped away
apparently not having received serious
injuries.
