The president Of one Of the roads coming

to-day by saving that demands for higher

that while the demands might not all be-
met, there was a tendency TO meet the de-
mands when possible.

over Twenty-Five Are Injured.

Long Beach, Cal, Nov. 9.-Whne scores
of worlmen were employed throughout
the unfinished rooms of the new $500
Hotel Bixby, it collapsed to-day. plunging
men from the fifth story to the basement
below.
Nine men are believed to have been
killed, although up TO q late hour tonight
the rescueTs have taken only three bodies
from the tons of stone and debris under
which it is believed many are imprisoned.
Twenty-Five or thirty men in all are in
jUred.
When the crash came the men were not
given a moments time TO escape. The
entire center of the building suddenly
crumpled and went down, a shattered
mass of concrete.
Upper Stories TOtter, Then Tumble.
Persons who witnessed the collapse say
that the upper stories tottered for a mo-
ment and then came tumbling down. a
binding cloud of powdered concrete and
dust When the dust cleared away. every
thing but the front walls was piled in
the basement upon the screaming victims.
The crash made a report which was
heard all over the city. From the wreck
came cries OF men pinned under the piles
of broken debris. and in a short time
rescuers were working. trying TO res
cue the unfortunates.
Il is feared that several persons who
were in the basement, looking al the
work, were caught under the falling de-
bris, but owing TO the mass Of material
yet to be removed nothing can be learned
of the identity of those still buried un-
der the fallen structure.
One-third of Building Falls.
The part of the hotel which collapsed
consisted of about one-third OF the en-
tire structure. It lay between two wings,
extending almost to the high water line
Immediately after the collapse Mayor
Downs and other city officials hastened
to the scene and assisted in the clearing
away Of the wreckage. Mayor Downs
telegraphed to r. f. Wells, general man

in connection, with the arrest Of Prof.
Hau on the charge of numbering his
mother-in-law, Frau Molitor, at Badeh-
Baden, that the housemaid who took

Frau Molitor to the post-oftice, TO

was shot and instantly killed. recog-
nized the voice Of the person using the
phone and is prepared TO swear to the
speakers identity.
Prof. Hau became acquainted with
Lima Molito-. who is now his wife,
when they were both students in
Zurich. The Iady's parents refused to
sanction their marriage. whereupon
Hau tried TO commit suicide Subse-
quently the couple eloped and were
married. This was about seven years
ago, but a reconciliation with the Mol
itor family was only made a few
months ago. Prof Hau spent the

We understand that the famous ruins Of

We are informed indeed. that an offer of

tremely regrettable If these thrice famous

continuously buried kings and heroes in
