HUGE BUILDING
FALLS BURY|NG
MANY W0RKMEN
Two Score Laborers
Under Debris
Big Structure Undermined by Excava-
ton Topples Down-Several Per-
sons Believed to Be Held Fast
by Wrecked Timbers
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, July 2.-Late this
evening several persons are believed to
be still under the ruins of the four
story building occupied by the office
furniture firm of Levy & White, on
Main street, which suddenly collapsed
this afternoon.
Fourteen others have been removed
from the ruins, more or less seriously
injured. Several of these went to their
homes without help, but about half a
dozen had to be carried to the hos
pital. The accident which occurred at
1:20 p. m. brought together a large
force of rescuers and the first victims
were taken out during the first half
hour, Notwithstanding the immense
weight of the wall and the stored fur
niture which fell over an excavation
being made for the ten-story building
of the Second National bank.
With no more warning than a rumble
of falling brick, creaking of timbers and
the crash of tons of debris, the four
story building caved in this afternoon,
burying under the mass of wreckage
between thirty-five and forty men en-
gagged in the excavation upon the cor
ner for the Second National Bank
building.
The men had just returned to work
after the noon luncheon when the
building, which had been undermined
by the excavation for the bank founda-
ton, toppled over into the pit, burying
in one vast grave the unfortunate men
The cries of some of the men could
be heard and force of rescuers al
once began a desperate attempt to save
those who were still alive. Employees
of Levy & White were carried dowr
with the. building. Within half ar
hour seven laborers, all colored, hac
been taken from the ruins. None OF
the seven was believed to be seriously
hurt.
The hoisting engine used in the work
of excavating was at once put at work
removing the wreckage, materially as
sisting the rescuers. From the numer-
Gus garages III the neighborhood came
several automobiles which were used
for carrying the injured to the hos
pitfalls. The building was filled with
merchandise, such as desks, cabinets
and office fixtures which added greatly
to the enormous weight that fell over
on the men.
The building inspector at once began
an investigation of the accident.

BABE RUN OVER BY
TRAIN, NOT HURT

Mistaken for a Piece of Paper, and
Later, Uninjured, Is Pulled
from Under Tender
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 2.-Somewhere in
Winnetka, north port suburb, there
is a baby which has the proud dis
tinction of having been run over by
a railroad train and emerging from
under the wheels without a scratch.
Just after leaving the station yesterday
Engineer Duncan of northbound Chi
cago & Northwestern express train,
saw a white object lying between the
rails in front of the train. At the first
glance he supposed it to be news
paper and paid little attention to 1t.
The next instant he threw on his air
brakes with jerk that sent everyone
on the train sprawling.
Goodness" he shouted, turning a
white face to his fireman, cts baby"
BY the time the train had come
grinding to a stop the white object was
under the tender Duncan and his
fireman jumped to the ground and
with a scared group of passengers
rapidly gathering around drew the
baby's body tenderly from under the
big engine. The baby which had been
lying on it's face. opened its eyes,
stared at it's rescuer for moment,
and then burst into a hearty wall.
The child was unhurt
Subsequent efforts to learn the iden-
tity of the child or it's parents were
unavailing. The baby appeared to be
about year and half old.

SALT LAKE, July 1.-TWO carloads
of giant powder standing on side
track of the Oregon Short Line at
Beck's Hot Springs, about five miles
from this city, exploded today, jarring
heavy buildings in this city and caus-
ing considerable excitement for time.
No one was killed, but two men were
injured.
A local passenger train on the Oregon
Short Line was due just about the
time of the explosion and but for the
presence of mind of the engineer many
lives would undoubtedly have been
lost. Seeing a burning car ahead the
engineer brought his train to a stand
still and then sent it backing at full
speed. He had taken the train about
quarter of a mile when the powder
exploded, breaking every window in
| the train and throwing passengers out
| of their seats. Telegraph and tele-
phone communication to the north and
west was temporarily cut off, as every
pole in the neighborhood went down.
Window panes in houses for two miles
on either side of the explosion were
smashed. The cars took fire from burn

JAPANESE PUPILS
TREATED WELL
San Francisco Organization corrects
Wrong Impression Sent Out by
Chamber of Commerce
in Toxic
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The Jap
anese association of America has is
sued the following statement:
"Five of the principal chambers Of
commerce in Japan recently addressed
a communication to the chambers of
commerce in America setting forth the
grievances of Japanese residents in
San Francisco, and including among
such grievances the denial of the right
of education. This particular portion
of the communication reads as fol-
lows:
1.-The right of education has been
denied them
"The Japanese association of Amer
lea, which has it's headquarters in San
Francisco, believes that in justice to
the people of California and the whole
country this erroneous statement
should be corrected and false impress
sions removed. Japanese children in
San Francisco are not now denied the
right of education. On the other hand
there are as many Japanese scholars
in the public schools as there were
before the earthquake and fire of
April 1S, 1906, and they are receiving
the same treatment and the same ad-
vantages that are given to the pupils
of other nationalitieS, and are admitted
| to the same schools.
| "In making this correction the Jap
anese association Of America wishes to
show it's desire for fairness, and it
| hopes that it's efforts to bring about
| friendly relations between the Japan
ese and the people of San Francisco
and the state of California will have
! the sympathy and support of the mer-
/ chants and business men of the state.
| TOXIC, July 2.-The Nichi Nichi, in a
| leader, regrets the necessity of being
| compelled to write again on the Ameri-
| can question in defense of the rights of
Japanese compatriots in San Francisco.
Developments in the anti-Japanese
sentiment" says the paper, ''shows
signs of progressive and systematic
movements aiming at the deprivation
of the sources of livelihood of our COM
patriots. The last clause of article Sec
ond of the treaty can properly be called
passed, but no legal step has been
taken by the federal government dis
abling the Japanese from engaging in
| the employment agency business. The
action of the San Francisco authorities
| is unbearable. Neither the Washington
