Pittsburg, May "a. - One man and
three women were killed and five or
six injured last night in building oc-
cupied by a dancing academy. Tho
cause Of the fatalities was the snap
ping of the elevator ropes, allowing
the cage to drop fifty feet The dead
were so badly mangled that identiflca-
ton was impossible up to midnight. E
A banquet and ball was being hef4
in the building by the Pennsylvania
Observation-Disclosures Institute, anlev-
cry available portion of the fftA14hd
sixth floors were crowded by members
of the institute and their friends.
At about 10 o'clock the elevator,
with load of thirteen. passengers,
started for the banquet room on the
sixth floor. When the floor was
reached it was found that every place
was crowded and the passengers de-
cided to go to the fifth floor, where
the dancing was in progress. When
between the sixth and fifth floors the
Steel Cable Snapped,
and with a resounding crash that was
heard blocks away, the carriage
dropped with it's load of human
freight.
1t smashed through the floor above
the cellar of the building, and was
stopped by braced post OF wood
three feet below the first floor. In
this inaccessible position the passen-
gers were jammed under broken tim
bers and twisted steel, and then the
heavy iron balance weights, weighing
over ton, came crashing down upon
it. Miraculously all but four were
able to scramble out The others were
pinioned under the heavy weight.
Four were smashed almost beyoud
recognition.
When the accident occurred more
than 400 men, women and children
were on the dancing floor AS the ell
evator
Struck the Bottom :
q cloud of dust blew into the room
from the open elevator door. Quickly
Harry ellison closed the entrance and
cried: Take your partners for two
STEP" Scores of policemen were
present and ordered all persons in the
building to remain quiet. In this way
the people were all allowed to pass
from the building by relays, avoiding
panic that might have resulted in
many more fatalities.
Supt. of Police McTighe ordered the
arrest of Prof. L. N. Giles, mecban-
ical engineer and instructor Of the
Pennsylvania Elactro-Chemical insti-
tute, who, at the time of the accident.
was running the elevator. It is al
legged that he allowed the elevator to
be overloaded, and that he had no ex-
perience in running an elevator, and
was partly responsible for the acct
dent.

TRY 10 ItRRoRlzt the JEWS
ANTLsEMlrEs RESORT TO EVERY
CONCEIVABLE MEANS TO
DRIVE THEM OUT.
FEELING is WIDELY PREVAIL NJ
JEWS DESERT BUSINESS AND
HOMES FOR FEAR OF
MASSACRE.

London, May "a. - Letters have
reached the publishers of the Rou.
manian Bulletin in this city which
confirm last nights dispatch from
Odessa that the Jewish population on
both sides of the Roumanian-R Russian
frontier in the region of Bessarabia
is deserving its business and homes
from fear of a general massacre.
Apparently the anti-Semites are re-
sorting to every conceivable means to
terrorize the Jews, freely proclaiming
that the Kishineff massacre is sam
pie of the treatment in store for all
members of the race if they do not
Immediately quit the country.
Inflammatory handbills are being
strewn about the cities declaring that
the Jews have invaded the land like
locusts, not only sapping the economic
life of the Christians. but also commit
ting ritualistic
Murders on Every Hand,
with Christian babes as victims. These
manifestoes declare that the time for
legal measures against the invaders is
gone, and adjure the people to use
more effective weapons. AZ
Meanwhile the Roumanian govern
ment, it is alleged. is persevering in
the attempt to create economic dis
ordinations against Jews such as will
leave them absolutely unable to find
profitable employment either for their
time or money from one end of the
kingdom to the otnes
/, The letters received by the Bulletin
agree in the opinion that the anti
Semitic agitation both in Bessarabia
and Roumania does not spring from
the rank and file Of the citizens, but is
due to the initiative of professional
agitators. However, it is said that the
spirit of discomfort so widely preva-
lent makes the masses plastic ma
terial for the formation Of mob rule.
