Cincinnati, July e.-The four-story
building occupied by. the Office fixture
firm OF Levy & White caved in during
the afternoon, burying under the mass
of wreckage between thirty-tive and
forty men engaged In the excavation
for the Second National bank building.
The men had just returned to work
after luncheon when the building,
which had been undermined by the
excavation for the bank foundations,
toppled over into the pit, burying in
one vast grave the unfortunate men.
A force of rescuers at once began a
desperate attempt to save those who
were still alive. Within half an hour
seven laborers, all colored, had been
taken from the ruins. None Of the
seven was believed to be seriously
hurt
The hoisting engine used in the
work of excavation was at once put
into service in removing the wreck
age, materially assisting the rescuers.
From the numerous garages in the
neighborhood came within few min
utes several automobiles, which were
used for carrying the injured to the
hospitals. The building was filled
with. merchandise, such as desks, cab
tnets and office fixtures, which added
greatly to the enormous weight that
fell over on the men.
Members of the Salvation Army I'M.
der Major Escott Joined the rescuers
and labored faithfully where the re-
mains of wall threatened to fall on
the ruins. Three more injured men
have been taken from the wreck, max
ing total Of ten. All were removed
at once to the hospitals. -
Street car traffic was crippled by
the accident, which occurred at
point where several important lines
pass.
: At least ten persons are believed to
be still under the ruins, while fourteen
others have been removed from the
ruins more or less seriously injured
No sound could be heard from the
ruins at 8 p. m, SO that it is feared
that those still there are either dead
or so seriously injured as to be uncor-
