The crash was preceded by no warning
and several cabmen on the nearby stands
had narrow escapes.
The building is fifteen years old and was
acquired a year ago by Jacob l.. kesner,
who remodeled it. Recently the Kline

The debris generally fell upon or close to
the sidewalk iii Wabash avenue, but some
fell on the elevated loop structure. Sew

were isnited, but the fire department had
peen summoned and when the engines ar
rived the biaZes were put out.
The trains on the loop were stalled for
half an hour. as were the Wabash avenue

In the opinion of the firemen the collapse
WAS the result of a weakening of the bind

recent reconstruction of the building. The

COLUMBUS Ohio, April 25.-'Tt's the
Taft peoples move" say the friends of
Senator Foraker now. 1t is believed that
the Taft managers feel the same way
about it. and with the coming of the Sec
rotary to Cincinnati tomorrow some move
will be taken. That move will probably
be a demand of some kind for an imme-
diate primary election to decide whether
Foraker or Taft is the choice of the re
publcans Of the state.
Among the republicans of the state
there is a decided aversion to holding the
primary election this year, not at least
before the municipal elections, which oc-
cur in November. The sentiment of the
whole people of the state is strongly
against mixing general with municipal pol
itcs. 1t has just crystallized in what is
known as the biennial election amendment
to the state constitution, by which no gen.
eral elections are held in the odd years,
those being devoted exclusively to the
local elections. 1t would be a plain viola
tion of the spirit of this amendment to
present any other question to the people
now while the municipal elections are
pending. Certainly the submission Of a
