A fatal accident has occurred at the
exposition in the show known as "old
Paris" This structure Is built over the
river and as a university professor. his
wife and daughter were bending over
one OF the top stories the balustrade
gave way and all three were precipitat-
ed into the river. The professor and his
wife were fished out alive, but the girl
was drowned. II is worth noting that
not a single Paris paper mentions the
affair because the show Is a heavy ad-
vertiser.
