Fatal injury was caused by panic
in hall at Bloomington, Illinois. fol-
lowing an explosion which in itself did
less damage than resulted from the crush
at the inadequate exits. The matter
of exits should not be ignored in provid-
ing for the safety of assemblages in
public halls. Facilities for escape with
out panic are quite as important as fire
uroofing.

for the construction of a naval station

e" CRASH HURTS so
Continued from first page.

rection of Inspector Dillon, led 10 interest
ing disclosures. According to an eyewitness
David Kietelnan. of No. 500 East 140th street
he was sitting in the front seat of the first car
on Motorman Hollands train, in which position
he had a full view of the motorman's box.
Kietelman alleged that he had been observing
Holland for more than ten minutes he oper-
ated the mechanism in the motor box and no.
ticed that the motorman frequently glanced out
of the window his right instead of keeping
his eyes on the tracks ahead of the train. These
actions the part OF Holland finally made
Ktetelman nervous he added. for he was in fear
lest just such accident should occur
After leaving the 99th street station the wit
ness declared that he saw the stalled train at
101st street. at the bottom of the slight grade,
but that there was no slowing up on the part of
Holland, who apparently did not see the cars
directly ahead of him. but. the contrary,
started down the slight hill at the usual speed.
Thinking that Holland would bring the train to
a stop at any moment, Kietelman kept his seat.
but when they were within seventy-five yards
of the standing train and still there
signs of Holland bringing his train to a stop
he jumped to his feet, at the same time shouting
to the motorman.
For Gods sake, stop the train We will have
a cOsion!' At the sound of his voice he said,
Holland quickly applied the airbrakes, but
hardly were the words out of his mouth when
the cars came together with terrific force and
Holland jumped from his box into the centre
of the car, thereby probably saving his life.
The front platform of the rear train was
smashed into kindlng wood and the motor
box, where g moment before Holland had been
standing. also demolished
When Holland was questioned later at the
police station he alleged that the accident was
unavoidable, owing to the fact that the air.
brakes failed to respond quickly enough to pre-
vent the collision.
The tracks Of the northbound line on the ele-
waited were blocked for less than half an hour
the northbound trains being shunted on to the
middle track.

TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.

from Georgia officers.

Waycross. Ga. June 27.-Walter Wilkins and
Albert Baker, negroes were lynched by mob
of one thousand persons late to-day the
eastern outskirts of the city The negroes were
brought here day from Wayne County, one
charged with outraging the fourteen year old
daughter of Wiley Wainwright on Thursday
evening. They were being taken by Wayne
County officers from the Jail there to Jesup for
safe keeping, when the mob rushed the officers
and hung the two prisoners.
In the rush dozen hands clasped each officer
and his gun. The negroes were jerked across
the railroad track and Il hundred persons
pounced upon them, others still holding the
guards. Through the wire fence of the rail-
road the mob showed the negroes. and then
started on a run across College Hill. For
nearly half a mile they continued to the first
oak tree in the old Cherokee Nursery. Here an
attempt made to break the handouts which
held the negroes together, but without avail.
No one had a rope. but heavy trace chain
which locked around of the negroes
was broken apart and a loop was made
around his neck. Some mounted the tree
and from the first limb caught the end of the
chain tying 1t around the limb, while others
held the negro up from the ground. He was
then turned loose his feet about two feet from
the ground. The other negro. still handcuffed
to the body of the hanging man, stood with
hands clasped around the tree. The mob, step
ping back about ten PAGES. opened fire upon
the men, hundreds of shots being fired into the
bodies
Many tried to prevent the killing of the negro
who was casping the tree. there being doubt
about his connection with the outrage. Nothing
could be done to stop the enraged mob, how
ever After the lynchng the mob dispersed.
The outrage which brought about the lynching
occurred near the home of Wiley Wainwright OH
Thursday evening. The girl was attacked by
the negro near her home and taken to the woods
near by. Here it Is said. two other negroes
joined the first.
1t was II o'clock at night before Mr. VAIN
wright accompanied by neighbOrs, found his
daughter after the assault. She was terribly
injured and died tonight The negro. Albert
Baker was arrested yesterday morning and
carried before the girl for Identification He
was with several other negroes at the time, and
she readily pointed him out.
