HUNDRED INJURED
DEFECTIVE SIDEWALK FALLS
UNDER WEIGHT OF CROWD.
Some of the Injured Ones May Die.
Accident Occurs at New York Dur.
ing Military Parade in Henor of
the French ENJOYS.

New York, May 2S.-Elvin L. Coo
lidge, circulation manager of the New
York Commercial, was almost instant
ly killed and about 100 others injured
last evening by the breaking down of
temporary sidewalk at Fifth avenue
and Eighteenth street. Some of those
injured may die. Those who fell were
part of the crowd gathered to watch
the parade of militia in honor of the
visit of the French Rochambeau COM
mission to this city.
Two hundred persons were on the
sidewalk when it gave away. They
were precipitated 20 feet into an. ex-
cayation for a new building and fell
on piles of building material.
Seriously injured: George Essing,
Detective James J. Kelly, PaIrolman
M. j. McManus, Charles Werner.
The accident occurred just as the
head of the parade had passed the
corner. The French visitors had gone
past, and knew nothing of the acct
dent until some time later. The Twen-
ty-second regiment was passing when
the crash came. The officers in COM
mand at once gave the order to break
ranks and so militiamen were detailed
to the work of rescue. Hurry calls
were sent for police reserves and am
balances, and in very short time
those who fell were assisted sout of
the excavation and the work of bind
ing up wounds and conveying those
most injured to hospitals was in full
swing.
The coroner ordered the arrest of
Contractor Cowan and of j. G. Miller,
the sub-contractor James Lawton,
foreman of the work at the building,
was arrested by the police and later
allowed to go under bail of $4,000 a
charge of homicide being placed
against him. The contractor says he
warned the police to keep the crowd
off the sidewalk, as it was not built
to stand so great strain
