FIVE WORKMEN HURT.
Collapse of Addition to Building
 Brings Scared Parents to Scene.


 New York. April 24.-The steel roof beams of the new addition to the Bergen Street public school Newark, collapsed shortly after l o'clock yesterday afternoon, carry ing part of the wall with them and injuring five workmen employed by Landgraf & Son, contractors. The injured were:
 Victor Holbig, 49 years old, No 269 Huntingdon street; Edward Helmstaedter, AS, No 78 Seventeenth avenue; Christian F.. Karius, 34, No 429 Springfield avenue; Hugo Kir- llel, 30, No 25 Seymour avenue, and Frank Schoenweisser, 40. No 92 Belmont avenue.
 Holbig and Helmstaedter were so seriously injured that their removal to the city hospital was necessary. The others sustained bruises and sprains, but were able to go to their homes. '
 It is supposed that the collapse was caused by the piling of too much lumber on the roof beams It occurred few minutes after the 1,200 children that attend the school had assembled in their class rooms.
 The noise made by falling walls and girders caused sensation In the neighborhood. In few min utes the streets surrounding the school were filled with frightened mothers and relatives of the chill dren. They had heard rumors that the whole building had collapsed, and hundreds of children had been killed.
 Not until Principal Morris Bam- berger and his teachers assured the frightened people that no child had received the slightest injury did the crowd disperse.

you afraid you won't get your money?
'The tailor explained that neither Of

to make my clothes simply because !
am a clergyman and require clerical
cut He let me down easily by stat
Ing further that he never undertook
