REACHED BY
ENJOYS
City Decorated in Their Honor
and Great Welcome Accord
ed on Arrival.
BY Associated Press.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 8.-With
one Of the foreign peace ENJOYS within
its gates and three others practically
at the harbor's mouth, Portsmouth to-
day awoke 10 the realization that one
of the most important days in its his
tory was actually at hand. The Rus
sian envoy, NJ. WiJte, arrived last
night, and early to-day wireless mes
sage was received from one of the
fleet which left Oyster Bay on Satur-
day with the other ENJOYS, that the
vessels were not far from the Isles of
Shoals, and that the little feet would
anchor in the harbOr just before $3.50
o'clock.
At an early hour the streets began
to fill up as steam trains, trolley cars
and private conveyances brought visi-
tors from all parts of Southeastern
New Hampshire. The famous old sea-
port was deliberately draped with flags
and bunting and presented an attrac-
tive appearance.

BAR
To DISCUSS
INSURANCE
Committee Has Completed Report
for Presentation at Meeting
August e.
az AssocIated Presa

Omaha. Neb. Aug. S.-Ralph w
Breckenridge, of Omaha, chairman Of
the committee on insurance of the
American Bar Association, has COM
pleted the report of that committee,
which is to be presented to the annual
convention al Naragansett Pier, which
viii be held August % 70 25.
The report makes five specific rec
concentrations, as follows:
First-Legislauion by congress, pro-
viding tor the supervision Of insur-
ance.
Second-The repeal of all valued
policy laws.
Third-A uniform fire policy, the
terms of which shall be specifically
defined.
FOurth-The repeal Of all retaliatory
tax laws.
Fifth-Stricter Incorporation laws
in the several states as they affect
the creation of insurance companies,
and a federal statute prohibiting the
use Of the mails to all persons, asso-
Citations or corporations transacting
the business of insurance in disregard
of state or federal regulations.
President Roosevelt is quoted as
having said 10 the committee that he
is very much in favor of federal super
vision of insurance.
". R Vance. of Virginia, a member
of the committee, is expected to pre-
sent a minority report, in which he
wil differ with the committee not on
the general findings, but on the propo-
sitiOn that there is no constitutional
obstacle to the inauguration of fed
eral insurance business.
Wildcat companies are strongly
criticized and the report says that
state laws denying companies the
right TO defend against death claims
in suicide cases encourages self-de-
structiOn.

Of Dead and Injured UnOhtainabIs
at Present Time.
TWELVE HOURS OF FRANTIC
WORK RESULTED IN DISEN-
TANGLINe so PERSONS, SIX OF
WHOM WERE DEAD-5IG DE-
PARTMENT STORE A MASS OF
RUINS.
BY Associated Press.

Albany, N Y, Aug. S.-The middle
section Of the big Department store
OF John G. Meyers, on North Pearl
street, collapsed early to-day carrying
down with it over one hundred per-
sons who were caught in the chaos of
Brick, plaster and wooden beams. Be
tween twenty and thirty men, women
and children met death.
Twelve hours of frantic work on
the part of an army of rescuers olsen
tangled fifty persons, six dead and
many of the rest badly injured. Three
bodies are in sight at late hour to-
night, but many hours of work will
be required to get them out.
Anything like complete list of the
killed and injured will be unObtain-
able until the workers get to the bot
tom of the wreckage. With few ex-
ceptions those caught in the ruin were
employees, a large majority of them
girls.
The collapse occurred shortly after
the opening hour when barely a score
OF shoppers were in the store. The
cause of the accident is said to be
work in basement, extractiOns in the
cellar and probably the saving Of a
floor beam.
The Meyers estate has been making
extensive repairs on its building This
morning a gang Of Italian wOrlzmen
started to remove an iron pillar that
supported the main floor. Evidently
they had failed to brace the floor
properly, for scarcely had they lOOs-
ened the post when down came all
three upper floors within a radius Of
fifty feet from the fatal pillar.
The wreck crashed though to the
cellar, burying the workmen and car
rying down those who happened 10
be working in that portion of the
building.
The fire department was called out
and the work OF rescue began at once.
Considering the nature of the acct
dent, the number of persons who es-
capped with only slight injuries is re-
markable.
Up to 1880 there had been taken
from the ruins seventy-hye persons,
half of whom were seriously injured.
The manager Of the store at the time
made the statement that there were
fifty more under the ruins. Up to IL
o'clock one dead body had been re-
moved.
When the collapse occurred the roof
CT the center OF the structure fell into
the building, forming a mass of debris,
under which were the unfortunate
victims. Telephone communication
was sent to the various hospitals and
doctors throughout the city and with
in half an hour twenty-five doctors
and ambulances were on the scene.
The various stores in the neighbOr-
hood were turned into emergency hos
pitfalls and mattresses were brought
from the various department stores in
the neighborhood for the care OF the
victims.
