HUNDREDS HURT
ACCIDENT IN SYNAGOGUE IN

NONE IS FATALLY INJURED
Staging coIIapses and Great Throne
Of People Are PrecIpItated Into
a Cellar Fifteen Feet

BY Associated Press.

by Associated FreSS.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 2o.-More than
five hundred men, women and children
were precipitated fifteen feet into a
cellar by the collapse Of platform to-
day during the exercises incident to the
laying Of the corner stone Of the Beth
David Russian Hebrew orthodox
church on Miller street, near Washing
ton. Nearly all of them were cut and
bruised, but it is believed no one was
fatally hurt. Three rabbis were among
those who went down, and although in
jured they continued the ceremony
after the panic had subsided.
Among the more seriously injured are
Rabbis Ashinsky, s. Graffman, A.
Bloom, and Abraham Nathanson, pas
tor Of the congregation, and Policeman
Adam Lefteweski.
The platform, which was fifty feet
square, had been constructed over the
foundation walls for the accommoda-
ton of the rabbis, officers of the church
and invited guests. Just prior to the
corner stone ceremony brass band,
leading 800 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 persons gathered to secure the same
privilege. The policemen were over
whelmed. In a moment the platform
was packed and the frail structure col
lapsed.
The panic that followed attracted
thousands of persons to the spot and
the police had great difficulty in ex-
Treating the screaming and groaning
victims from the wreckage.
When the cellar had been cleared 1t
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 fol-
lowed the rash. many being trampled
on in the wild rush to escape.
Rabbi Ashinsky was trampled upon
and suffered severe injuries but con-
tinued the services after some order
had been restored. The fact that there
were no fatalities is a marvel. as when
the platform broke it closed up like a
knife, throwing the people into strug-
Cling mass In the cellar.
The policemen had an exciting time
in handling the great crowd. A rumor
gained credence that several children
were buried in the ruins. and frenzied

locate their children We're restrained

Seeking health is a precarious bust
ness. 1t rarely results favorably. The
only way to seek health is to forget
all about the matter and 60 to work
at something that furnishes exercise
for mind and body and arouses enthu'
siasm.
Find something to do that you like
to do, and you have found the best sani.
tarium in the world. Something that
furnishes good living, and something
that furnishes not too much nor toe
little exercise. The man who loves the
work he is doing is seeking health in
the most etfectual way possible. -Medi'
cal Talk.
There is surely lots of truth in the
short sermon above and, as that maya.

ing the motto of something to do
means decreasing the population of
almshouses, prisons and similar institu'
tions. AS an all round antidote for the
majority of disorders mental, moral and
physical, work is about the best remedy
yet found.

These interesting observations will
be made in the old world during the

the squadron, has for his flagship

includes about seven members of the

civilian institutions of the govern
ment accompany him and will cooper
ate with his three field parties.

Over 10000 people lost their lives on
the railroads of the United States last
year. This would seem pretty large
percentage of the total who rode upon
such roads. In view of the hundreds
of devices supposed to be in use in safe
