BUILDING coLLAPsEs
Three Killed and a Score Hurt In
Philadelphia Crash.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1l.-Three men
are known to have been killed. one was
fatally hurt and eighteen others were in
1ured in the collapse of a new concrete
building yesterday at the plant OF Bridg-
man Brothers Company manufacturers of
steamfitters' supplies. at 18th street and
Washington avenue. in the southwestern
section OF the city.
The building was Just being put under
roof when a section about thirty feet in
width and extending the entire depth OF
the structure collapsed. About thirty men
were at work on the side which gave way.
and they were carried down in the debris.
The body OF Marshall Hopkins. aged forty
five years. and the bodies of two unidenti-
ned colored men have been taken from
the ruins.
The building. which was being erected
as An annex to the Bridgman plant, COL
lapsed according to the admissions OF c.
3. Miller. boss carpenter. because the
crete before 1t had properly Set A. S.
Reavis. trading as the Sheet Metal and
Cornice Company OF Washington. d. c..
was the contractor for the building.
The structure was four stories high and
the heavy concrete crashed down like an
avalanche. Besides those carried to the
ground In the fall number of persons
were struck by flying pieces OF the con-
crete and cut about the face and hands.
Jacob Smith, one workman, was buried
under mass of concrete and crushed SO
that he cannot live. His back was broken
But for dispute between the bricklayers'
helpers and the contractors as to wages
the former were to receive for hosting
brick to the top of the building after
working hours an additional number OF
workmen would have been on the building
when the section collapsed. These men
quit work Tuesday and when the brcklay
ers reported yesterday they found that their
helpers had not reported for duty. The
bricklayers were forced to remain idle,
and this fact probably saved several lives
The A. S. Reavis Sheet Metal Cornice
Company. which has the contract for the
erection of the Philadelphia building which
collapsed yesterday, is a Washington con-
Germ and its offices are at 719 and 721 I'd
street northeast. When a Star reporter
called at the offices today he was informed
that Mr.. Reavis was in Philadelphia and
it was not known when he would return
to this city. The manager of the COM
pany stated that the only Information he
had concerning the disaster was what he
had read in the newspapers.
Did Mr.. Reavis have any Washington
workmen employed on the building that
collapsed" he was asked.
Yes: he had five or six Washingtonians
there. We have no information that any
of theme were injured
