School Grounds, Floor Gives
Way and They Are Pre-

Cincinnati, Sept. 24.-During the
morning recess Friday Of the public
school at Pleasant Ridge, about TWEEN
ty miles north of this city, q playful
rush was made by the pupils into an
Clubhouse. II gave way, precipitating
about twenty-five children into a
vault. At 1875 o'clock nine bodies had
been recovered. II was stated the
joists under the flooring gave way and
precipitated all who were in the out
house at the time. The population of
the village soon surrounded the school
grounds and people fiocl1ed into the
place from the surrounding country.
The excitement was intensified by
complaints of parents against the
school officers. who said the building
and grounds were inspected before
the opening of school two weeks ago.
Doctors attended such children as were
rescued alive. Distressing scenes were
witnessed as the search for bodies was
continued. Men were lowered into
the vault and carried bodies out. The
school building was transformed into
a morgue.
After nine dead bodies had been re-
covered and twelve persons were res
cued alive the vault was dredged and
rescuers abandoned the search. All
the victims were girls. the oldest being
twelve years of age. The vault con-
tained over four feet of water.

London, Sept. 24.-Sir Harry John
ston. the well known traveller and for
mer consul general for the Uganda
protectorate, who recently returned
here from a visit to Liberia, is quoted
in an interview as saying there is no
doubt France Is endeavoring to Sc
cure, as a result of the boundary dis
pute, portion of the territory of the
Liberian republic. No justification
whatever can be shown for such pro-
cedure," he said, 'other than the
right of the strongest and total inabil-
ity of Liberia TO resist by force any
French aggression"
Sir Harry speaks highly OF the
American negro. A census which he
made shows there are about 1900 Of
these resident In Liberia. who show
under their own government what the
negro is capable of in the way of civil
ization. He also says American and
British philanthroplsts who have
watched Liberia for years could not
but view with great bitterness any at
tempt on the part of the Colonial party
of France to take advantage of Libe-
ria's weakness to snap off portion of
her territory.
