story told at the Emergency Hospital
of the adventure last night of John
Mabon, sixteen years old. OF Falls
Church. Va.
Mabon, according to the story. is six
teen years old and bellboy at the New
Willard. Last night at about half an
hour after midnight he was on the ninth
floor OF the hotel and In some manner
not explained went through the ele-
Vator door and began to sail through
space. Throwing out his hands, ne
grabbed the cable and began his fear
ful slide into the unknown
With an insufficient grasp upon the
cable his hands were badly cut by the
friction bred by his rapid descent and
when he finally alighted safely II was
necessary to send him to the hospital
for treatment. He was accompanied
TO the hospital by another bellboy. and
later left the hospital with him. When
inquiries were made at the New VIII

The collapse Of the floor came when
the interest Of the crowd IN the Easter

BY the irony OF fate, the collapse Of
the floor was not attended by the least
danger. for 1t was built only two feet
above the ground.
Women and children were trampled
under foot In the wild rush for the
doors. 1t was all over in two minutes
and when the cooler among the men
returned to the church they found wo-
men and children dead and dying in the

About 1880 the Easter procession
started. It wound through the church,
encircled the altar. and had just turn
ed again toward the congregation when
suddenly there was a crash like the ex-
plosion Of a bomb.
a woman cried Fire" and the con
gregation rose TO its feet IN alarm. IN
stantly there was another crash, even
louder than the first, and the floor gave
way under the feet OF the worshipers.
There are three doors to the church
a double door in the middle opposite
the middle aisle, and two small doors.
opposite the side aisles.
Men and women fought madIy, while
underneath their feet, the weakened
floor sagged and swayed and settled
lower.
Strong men scrambled over the tops
OF the benches, trampling others under
their feet and knocking women and
children headlong.
Half those in the middle aisle were
thrown PROSTATE by the first rush, but
those who could struggled TO their feet
and fought TO escape from the imagin-
ary danger.

Even at the moment Of the dis
aster on the Kearsarge Friday, Sec
retary Bonaparte was at his home in
Baltimore carefully revising the
findings Of the board Of inquiry into
the New York harbor collision early
in January. The fact that he has
spent some time considering this
