INTO A CELLAR
Five Hundred Men, Women

With Platform at Pittsburg
STRUCTURE COLLAPSES
Many Injured During Exer-
cises Incident to Laying
of Church Cornerstone

PITTSBURG. Aug. 20-More than 500
men, women and children were precipitat-
ed fifteen feet into a cellar by the coll
lapse of a platform to-day during the ex-
ercise incident to the laying of the corner
stone Of the Beth David Russian Hebrew
Orthodox Synagogue on Miller street, near
Washington. Nearly all OF them were cut
and bruised, but it is believed no one
was fatally hurt. Three rabbfS were
among those who went down, and al
though injured they continued the cere-
mony after the panic had subsidized.
Among the more seriously injured are:
Rabbis Ashinsky, s. Graffman, Az Bloom,
Abraham Nathanson, pastor OF the con-
gregation. and Policeman Adam Lef-
teweski
The platform, which was fifty feet
square, had been constructed over the
foundation walls for the accommodation
of the rabbits, officers of the church and
invited guests. Just prior to the corner
stone ceremony, a brass band Leading 500
Zionists, arrived When the Zionists were
invited to pass over the platform In order
to sign their names to the roll to be
placed in the stone, a mad rush was made
by the thousands Of person gathered to
secure the same privilege. The police
men were overwhelmed In moment
the platform was packed and the frail
structure collapsed
sands of persons to the spot and the po-
lice had great difficulty in extricating the
screaming and groaning victims from the
wreckage.
When the cellar had been cleared II
was found that scores were hurt, their
injuries consisting Of bruises and cuts
about the head and body. Some OF the
injuries were due to the panic that roi-
lowed the crash, many being trampled
on In the wild rush to escape
Rabbi Ashinsky was trampled upon ana
suffered severe injuries, but continued the
services after some order had been re-
stored The fact that there were no ia
talities is marvel, as when the plat
form broke it closed up like a knife.

mass in the cellar.
A rumor gained credence that several
