HOW THE CRASH CAME.
No Warning Of Disaster to the Work


QUEBEC, August 3O.-The whistle had
just blown, at $50 o'clock, for the men to
quit work for the day, when there came a
grinding sound from the bridge at mid
stream. The men turned to see what had
happened. and an instant later the cry went
up, The bridge is falling! The men made
rush shoreward but the distance was
too great for them to escape.
The fallen section of the bridge dragged
others after 1t, the swapping Orders and
cables booming like crash of artilley. Ter
ror lent f1eetness to the feet Of the fright
ened workmen as they sped shoreward, but
only few Of them reached safety before
the last piece Of ironwork on the south
shore was dragged into the river.
Near the shore the wreckage of the bridge
did not go below the surface Of the water
and eight workmen who remained above
water were rescued and taken to the hos
pital at Lewis
The steamer Genmont had Just cleared
the bridge when the first section fell. The
water thrown up by the debris came clear
over the bridge of the steamer. The cap
tain at once lowered boats The small
boats oiled backward and forward over
the sunken wreckage for half an hour, but
there was no sign of life. The twisted iron
and steel had It's victims in a terrible death
grip.
A Few floating timbers and the broken
strands of the bridge toward the north
shore We're the only signs that anything
unusual had happened. There was not a
ripple on the smooth surface OF the st
Lawrence as it swept toward the gulf

Department Store Thefts.

From EverybOdys.
The fixed charges Of department store
must cover the loss Of breakage and gen.
eral destruction, the failure Of goods to
sell and theft The cheaper stores suffer
more seriously from thieving than the
hisher-priced ones, because their employees
are less trustworthy. For years the pro-
prietors estimated that their theft losses
were due half to their dishonest employees
and half to outsiders, but not one of them
would venture to estimate the total. There
Is curious standard of ethics among some
of the employees. They do not regard TAX
ing articles for their own use as theft
whereas to take them for some one else.
even a member Of the family, is plain rob-
berry. Almost never. are these guilty ones
prosecuted even If they are detected and
the proof is conclusive They are dis
charged, Of course, and notices are posted
in the dressing room explaining the reason
But when an employee steals goods to sell
and is caught, arrest follows.
Professional shoplifters have been largely
eliminated. owing to systematic prosecu-
tion BY far the greatest number of thefts
committed by outsiders are traced to WOm-
en-, usually reputable, who yield to a sud-
den temptation. Incidentally. the news
papers never name a store in which per-
son is arrested for shoplifting, for the SIM
pie reason that it would frighten away Gus
toners. A retail store on Broadway that
did a large business was actually ruined by
the publication of the details of several ar
rests within its doors.

Jewish Self-Government,
David Blaustein, in Circle.


When in March, four years ago, the gov
ernor of New Jersey signed the charter
creating the borough of Woodbine it is
doubtful If he realized that the thing he
did was historic, even epoch-making. That
Woodbine was interesting he must have
known, for farming settlements of Russian
Jews do not plentifully dot the landscape
anywhere; but Woodblne is more than
merely uncommon. The governor who
signed that charter was giving Jews their
first chance at civic selfgovernment since
Titus, more than eighteen centuries ago,
left not one stone upon another In the Holy
City and the long tragedy of Jewish exile
began.
Woodbine was founded IN 1891 by the
trustees of the Baron de Hirsch fund in
connection with a committee of imni-
grants. Several little Jewish communities
Were already prospecting in southern New
Jersey, or they We're at least holding their
own, so these seventy-five Russian immi-
grants were minded to follow suit. They
had $500 acres of land covered with scrub
oak and stunted pine and a great deal of
patient endurance. They had also a good
superintendent, Prof. III. l.. Sabsovich
whose insight into men and things and
whose unfailing enthusiasm We're to help
them in many a hard place. Thus equipped
they started in.

HAMBURG LINE CUTS RATES
To Mediterranean Ports-Looks Like
Real Rate War.

NEW YORK, August 3o.-The steam
ship rate war broke out in a fresh place
yesterday. The Hamburg America an line
announced to other members of the North,
Atlantic conference and to the CunarI
line that its minimum rate after S+ptem-
Der to Mediterranean ports by tho
steamships Hamburg and Noltke would
be respectively $50 and 500. That means
reduction of SIS by the Hamburg ami

This is a slap at the Cunard line and
practically renewal Of the Old light on
Mediterranean rates which was adjust ed
two seasons ago. The minimum rate &c

is $0J. and Vernon II. Brown said he had

Thomas Norton, bridgeman,- Phoenix


vile.
OF these Norton is known to be alive, as
his family today received a telegram from
him notifying them of his safety. So far as
known here the others mentioned are MISS
ing.
1t was explained at the company's plant
today that the men employed on the bridge
were assembled there from all parts of the
country. and that probably not more thar
dozen came from this section. There are
probably not more than a dozen bridge
erecters living In Phoenixville.
Company Is insured.
Information received by the company to-
that sixty-one men are missing. fourteen
bodies had been recovered, and that twelve
men are in the hospital.
Chief Engineer John s. Deans, General
Supt William H. Reeves and P. L. Sclapta,
chief designer, who is said to have de-
signed the bridge, left Phoenixville early
today for the scene of the accident to
make the investigation for the company.
They declined to talk Of the catastrophe.
While the great bridge was expected to
cost total of about $1O.OOO,OOO the COM
pany's contract for the iron work amounted
to about 100000. The company has been
at work on the contract for about Six
years, and nearly all the iron and steel
had been manufactured and delivered
The officers Of the company are making
every effort to get further information from
the bridge site, but it Is probable no state
ment will be made until the companys
chief engineer reaches there and makes a
report. An official Of the company said,
however, that the company Is fully insured
as to men and material.

JAPANESE scHooNERs RELEASED
Conviction of Members of the Crews
! Found Taking Seals.

The seal-poaching cases at Valdez. Alas
ka, involving the men board the Jap
anese schooners kaiwo and Nitto, have
resulted in the convictions of the individ-
uals of both crews who were in small
boats actually taking seal within the Amer
lean water boundary, and this included the
captain of the Ntto and the acquittal of
the remainder. The acquitted members of
the Kaiwos crew are en- route to Cnalaska,
where the two vessels are. \ libel was
filed against the Nitto to secure her for
feiture
The district attorney. in reporting that
fact, asked whether the department APP
proved the proceeding. 1t is presumed that
this action against that vessel prevented
the Mittos crew from going along with
that of the Kaiwo. AS, however the de-
partment, after considering all the facts
concerning the sealing operations in ques-
ton, has concluded to disapprove of the
forfeiture proceedings, the Nitto also will
be turned over TO her people and permitted
to depart.
