NEGROES CRUSHED TO DEATH
CRY OF FIGHT" MISTAKEN FOR
FIRE" AND A PANIC
RESULTS.
Seventy-E light Killed and as Many
More Injured in Black Baptist Con.
vention-Booker Washington Safe.

birmingham, Ala, Sept. 20.-ln an
awful crush Of humanity caused by a
stampede in the Shiloh negro Baptist
Church, Avenue G. and Eighteenth
street, last night. rs persons were
killed AMI as many more seriously in
jured.
The catastrophe occurred at 8
o'clock, Just as Booker II. Washington
had concluded his address to the ma
tional Convention of Baptists, and for
three hours the scenes around the
church were indescribable Dead
bodies were strewn in every direction
and the ambulance service of the city
was utterly incapacltated to move
them until after 1 O'Clock. Dozens
Of dead bodies were arranged in rows
on the ground outside of the house
of worship awaiting removal to the
various undertaking establishments,
while more than n score were laid
out on the benches inside.
The church is the largest house Of
worship for negroes in Birmingham,
and the pastor says there were at
least 1000 persons in the edifice when
the stampede began. Instructions had
been issued to allow no more to enter,
but the negroes forced their way inside
the building and were standing in ev-
cry aisle; even the entrance to the
church was literally packed.
Just as Booker T. Washington con.
cluded his address, Judge Billou. a
negro lawyer from Baltimore, engaged
in an alteration with the choir leader
and a blow was struck. Some one in
the choir cried They're fighting!
Mistaking the word fighting" for
FIRE the congregation rose en- masse
and started for the door. One of the
minstered quickly mounted the ros-
trum and admonished the people to
keep quiet. They mistol the word
quiet" for fire" and renewed the
struggle to the door. The men and
women crawled over benches, fought
their way into the aislcs, and those
who had fallen were tramplcd upon
like cattle.
The ministers tried again and again
to stop the stampede, but no power on
earth could stay the struggling, fight
ing mass of humanity. The screams
of women and children added to the
horror of the scene, and through mere
fright many persons tainted and as
they fell to the floor were crushed to
| death.
Most or the dead are women, and
the physicians say in many cases they
| tainted and died from suffocation. A
remarkable feature of the calamity is
| that no Hood was seen on any of the
| victims
Booker T. Washington, when seen
after the accident at the residence of
| DR.. U. g. Mason, said:
when | saw that a stampede was
| imminent, | started the choir singing
and part of the audience joined them,
| remained until the excitement had
subsidized. for fully 80 minutes. One

You can prove whether or not it is,
