Six men of gang OF twelve laborers were in
jured yesterday afternoon by the colapsing of
the rear wall of the old Broadway Tabernacle

engaged in tearing down the structure. and the

was able 10 go home after having received treat
ment. The other three men received cuts and
contusions, but after being attended by the
ambulance surgeons went home.
There was great excitement in Herald Square
following the accident. The falling of the wall
rolled out of the demolished church. It was
shortly after 3 o'clock, and the matinee crowds
thronged Sixth avenue and Broadway. In a
short time the crowd was af1re with the rumors
that several men had been killed Traffic was
blocked in all directions by the thousands Of
persons who surged around the scene.
The arrival of two anbularces from the New
York Hospital. one from Bellevue, anG one from
R5osevelt Hospital. added strength to the re-

serves from the Tenderloin station, under In

was nearly a half hour before the police had

without any warning With wild cry OF alarm
the men tried to rush out of the danger. but
half the gang were caught under the falling
stones and mortar. For a few minutes the
irnprisoned workmen deserted, as their
fellow workers believed the whole building would
cave in.
DR.. Charles Murphy of No. "A West Both

first physician to aid the injured. He reached

Thursdays session OF the Execu-
tive Council would have been lacking
in interest and Importance had not
Mr.. Ward raised question of some
moment which merits our attention.
The new Auditor believes that the
meaningless and ridiculous termina-
ton of the titles of laws should be
done way with, and to that end max
es sensible and iud icious Suggest
ions which should be acted on by
the congregantes, who would do well
TO accept the views of an official who
has given proof of his superiority
and shown that he studies and
analyzes questions relating to the
badly termed americanization; and
who, at least, strives to put an
end to the senseless and TN
necessary features of the new met
hods, which have made them unpo-
pular and the defenders and part
isans who have attempted to enforce
them, disliked.
That the ridiculous "ritornello"
and fer 0tAfr purposes with which
the lengthy exotic laws adopted by
our Legislative bodies invariably
ends has from the very begin
ming been laughing stock.
What is the meaning of and for
0thtr bnybosrs7 What is its real sig
nihcance when applied to certain
laws, as for instance, to the one bear
ing the name Of Mr.. Hollander, Ste
provide revenues for the People OF
Porto-Rico and for other purposes
The People Of Porto-Rico, for who
Sc benefit (2) it was eaacted, very
soon grasped its significance.
The otkfr purposes were those Of Ii
quidation, Of brutal absorption, of
annhilation; those ether Pnrp0sfS were
the precipitation of the auction and
various other. r.hardships, of which we
have had countless examples.
But in the spheres Of power, the
protests Of public opinion were nett
her heard, nor listened to; they were
ignored. Not single voice in five
years has been heard to echo in that
rari6ed atmosphere what was said
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-03-31
EDITORIAL

by the press and the public at large.
Let Mr.. Post profit by the lesspn
administered by the worthy Coun1i-
llor and learn to respect public OPT
|nion, heed its dictates and obey
it's mandates; let him awaken to the
necessity of satisfying an opinion
that has the power and authority to
impose it's will.
And it is not only Mr.. Post-whose
haughtiness and presumption are
proverbial should find in the
Auditor an example worthy Of en-
ulation, there are others who hold
the absurd view that everything fore
ign is superior to what is found here,
that we must accept as great and
unmerited favors all the capricious
reforms and innovations imposed on
us by the instrun entS of liquidation
who masquerade as redeemers.
How different would be our feel
ing and that Of the general public
towards the government, if among
its members was observed the same
method of procedure as adopted by
Mr.. Ward. The Auditor, conscious
of his unfamiliarity with questions
relating to the colony, refused to vote
in the Executive Council a few
hours after his arrival in the Island
thus showing not only his good sense
but also his respect for the country
to which he had come.
1t is unfortunate for Porto Rico
that there are not more funCtiOnaries
here of Mr.. Wards class. We, who
would find infinite pleasure if we
could conscientiously praise the
government, are forced to adopt a
contrary course, daily repeating cen
sures and calling to account the con-
gregantes who fail to faithfully per
form their duties.
For this reason, when we hear
| Ifuncti0nary expressing himself in a
manner which the public rejoices to
hear from official lips, when words
that indicate loyal intentions are ut
tered in the midst Of the reverend
congregation, We are more than glad
to offer just and spontaneous praise.
