MASHED TODEATH
Ten Men or More Lose Their
Lives in Collapse
OF a Building in the Process Of
Construction.
BURIED IN THE RUINS.
The Structure Was $50 by 75
Feet, Three Stories.
Side Wall and Half the Front
Fell Down.

South Framingham, Mass. July "a
At least ten and prabably more masons,
plumbers and Italian Iaborers were
crushed to death late Monday after
noon in the sudden collapse of q build
ing in process of construction on Main
street, while others were dragged or
dug out of the wreck, some seriously
injured
The building was a three story
structure in process of erection at the
corner of Concord and Kendall streets.
1t had a frontage of $50 feet on Con-
cord street ana was rs feet deep.
When the accident happened there
were between 35 and 40 men at work
in the building Two or three loud ex-
plosions or cracks were heard in rapid
succession and then the side wall and
about half the front wall collapsed
and crashed through to the basement,
burying the men.
Under the light of electric lamps,
the work of exhuming the bodies OF
the victims of the collapsed Amsden
building went on increasingly through
the night
At dawn there were ten bodies at
the morgue, eight of the injured were
at the hospital. two others we're at
their homes, while the list of missing
remained at four, making a total of "a.

the support gave way and sent the tons
of cement, iron columns and steel
beams crashing in a tangled mass into
the basement.
A list of the dead. wounded and miss

viii Onest
The tottering walls and pillars and the
hanging beams and girders made the
work Of extricating the bodies not only
difficult but dangerous.
The cause of the accident could not
be definitely learned today. The town
has no building laws and any proceed
ings against a contractor or other per
sons in connection with faulty construc-
ton will have to be upon another charge
and any action will have to be brought
by state officials instead of the local
authorities.

WITH RED FIAGs FLYING
Russian Members of Parliament Re
turn Prom WHORE


St. Petersburg. July 24-Over hun
dred Of the Russian members of parlia-
ment who yesterday issued an address
to the country reached the Finnish
railroad station here from Viborg at 3
o clock this afternoon. A crowd of sew
eral thousand persons gathered there
before the arrival of the train but a
hurried the people into the streets
whence they were driven away by
mounted gen d'armes.
Several arrests of suspects were made
in the crowd but the orders of the police
evidently were limited to preventing a
demonstration, the cavalry IN a neigh
boring barrack not appearing. The last
car Of the train was occupied by the
members Of the group Of toll and had
red flags flying from the windows as it
rolled into the station. Prince Dolgorou-
kOf and M. Ma bouxoff headed the mem
bers as they marched out in a body
through lines of police. A few friends
who managed to obtain admittance to
the station greeted the parliamentarians
warmly, but they feared to indulge in
any demonstration which might have
justified the arrest of the members who
fully expected to be surrounded and
marched off TO prison. They appeared
grave but resolute.
On the train it had been arranged that
the members Of the various groups, II
evening and confer on the next step.
There seems practically no difference OF
opinion now. They have gone too far
to retreat. They stand irrevocablS
committed and must march on. The
only difference of opinion is as to what
the next step viii be and how far it
will go
Before leaving Viborg it was arranged
through underground revolutionary
channels to distribute the address to
the country, hundreds of thousands OF
copies of which have already been sur
reptiously printed. The members of
parliament there have already opened
an alliance with the purely revolution
airy organizations. The opinion is also
unanimous that they must have immed-
late recourse to the only weapon at their
disposal, namely a political strike for
the purpose of paralyzing the govern
ment. Word has been received here that
the Moscow workmen's council will be
ready Sunday or Monday and a tenta-
tive decision to call a strike will be
taken on Sunday. A telephone message
from Moscow says that a great popular
denOHstrati ton. organized by the leaders
of the Worl0nen as a preliminary to tho
strike occurred in the streets there to-
day. but in pursuance of the plan care
was taken to keep within peaceful lin
its and there WIS no Interference on the
parf-5f the police or troops.

Friday afternoon Mrs. Geo.
Kellogg and Mrs. Robert Har-
vey were hostesses to the
Treble Clef at the spacious
home of Mrs. Kellogg. A very
enjoyable and profitable after
noon was spent in the study of
Chopin and Carrie Jacobs Bond.
The differences between the
two composers are many. Com
parison shows that in music as
in many lines of study, an idea,
simple or complex, if worthy of
thought has it's place among
the things which give joy and
pleasure to life. Carrie Jacobs
Bond reaches your heart
through her simple, beautiful
child songs and Chopin through
his masterful production of in
tense and almost frenzied inn
agination. Following is the
enjoyable program.
