Thousands Of people had gathered on
the Morrison and Madison street
bridges and along the docks to watch
Clarence Lutz. an armlcss man, swim
the river. which is about three-eights
Of a mile in width.
Lutz started from a boathouse on
the west side OF the river and swan
TO the boathouse OF the Portland Row
ing club, mOored on the east side, Just
above the Morrison street bridge. As
he was climbing out Of the water the
crowd rushed to the south edge OF the
bridge, In order TO get q good view. A
section OF the passenger walk gave way
under the heavy weight.and the crowd
ing struggling mass Of people were
carried down a distance Of forty feet
Some fell on the two lighthouses
moored under the brldgez, while others
were precipitatcd directly into the
river, which is about fifteen fet deep
at that point. Many fell between the
lighthouses forming pile ten feet high
Ct struggling men, women and chill
drn.
Hundreds of people at the clubhouse
OF the Portland Rowing club men in
boats and on shore, Immediately
started the work OF rescue Dozens OF
boats at the scene soon picked up
those struggling In the water. while the
injured who were clinging to the boat
houses were taken into the clubhouse
and medical aid summoned.
Every ambulance IN the city, several
fire companies and a large force OF
police arrived within a few minutes,
and those with boken arms and legs
were hurried to the hospitals. The
news Of the accident spead with alarm
ing rapidty and within few minutes
end OF the bridge anXiously seeking
Information about relatives or friends.
The bridge was closed and all sire
ar ftopncd, In ord r TO prevent a iepe
titlon Of the accident by crush OF
people.
The bridge Is an old wooden struc-
ture, having been built sixteen years
ago. and has been considered unsafe
FOR some time, although II was not
condemned The city wss granted au-
thOhty by the legislature last winter
TO issue 100000 in bonds, for the con
struction Of a steel bridge. and the
mayor and council are now preparing
the plans for the new structure. The
present bridge Is narrow and Is un.
atied TO accommodate the traffic.
