THE aquatic sports OF all countries con

for the water, and perhaps his desire to
master it. 1t is worthy of note that those

Philadelphia Especially In one OF
the busiest sections of the city and
at a time when thousands of pedes-
trians were passing to and fro, the
five-story brick building at the
northeast corner of Eleventh and
Market Streets, which was being re-
constructed for the United Gas I'M
provement Company, collapsed with
terrific roar shortly after l o'clock
burying or pinning beneath the
ruins 80 persons, Z of whom are
dead, l is missing, 1 fatally injured
and 23 more or less seriously in
jured.
Those killed were workmen en-
ployed by Sax & Abbott, contractors.
The building had a frontage of
about 25 feet on Market Street and
extended about rs feet on Eleventh
Street. The two lower floors had
been torn out and the three upper
floors were shored up by heavy tim
Der. Steel girders were bracing the
snoring. 1t is supposed that by
moving one of the girders the entire
structure was loosened.
The crash came without warning
and narrow escapes were many. The
roar of the collapse was heard for
blocks. Bystanders and passersby
fed in desperation to points of re-
fuge, as it was thought that an ex-
plosion had occurred. When rea-
lizing what had happened people
flocked to the ruins and began a
series of thrilling rescues. Before
professional aid could be mustered
automobiles, teamsters' wagons and
all sorts of nearby vehicles were fill
ed with the dead or injured and hur-
ried to hospitals.
A general alarm was sounded and
policemen, on foot as we'll as mount
ed, firemen, ambulances, physicians
and nurses responded, and for hours
after the accident they remained on
duty ministering to the injured or
assisting the searchers in their work
of rescue. 1t was a sweltering hot
day and several of the rescuers
were overcome by the heat as we'll
as the oppressive dust from the de-
bris. Fighting hard to penetrate the
ruins were an army of people.
The crowds gathered quickly and
almost as strenuous as digging up
the injured was the task of keep
ing the congested masses of people
from surrounding too closely the
wreckage. The walls which were left
standing looked unsafe, but the peo-
pie surged forward, needless of the
danger. When the police reserves
arrived, however, both Market Street
and Eleventh Street were roped off,
and traffic for the afternoon was di-
verted to other thoroughfares.
For a time service on the subway
line. which runs along Market
Street a few feet distant from the
cellar of the building, was tied up
Some of the debris tumbled down the
steps of the entrance on Market
Street and rolled out over the plat
form and on the tracks. A woman

the collapse and the shower OF
bricks and stones that poured down
the stairway, tainted in her office.

SLOOp CApSzES AND
TEN PERSONS DROWN
Tragic Ending Of a Day Of Merry
making.
TWELVE ARE SAVED FROM DEATH.
The Little Vessel Ran Into A Ter
rife Squall While Returning
From An Outing And Turned Over
Tug Larmont Rushed To The
Rescue And with Life Lines And
Buoys Saved Ten-The Survivors
Exhausted

New York Especially Ten persons
were drowned, two of them little
girls, when the excursit n sloop RoX-
ana, carrying 22 passengers, was cap
sized by a sudden squall in lower
new lrK Bay.
The captain of the Roxana and
the - survivors were picked up
under great difficulties in a rough
and choppy sea by the tug Lamont.
The hoXana, with her skipper,
Captain Samuelson, was chartered at
Timer Beach, Brooklyn, by a party
of Swedes from Brooklyn for a sail
across the bay to Midland Beach,
Staten Island and back. The first
leg on the voyage was made without
mishap, and all hands piled ashore
to make merry. Beer was served,
and some of the survivors could give
but a haZy account of the accident.
All afternoon there was stiff
breeze from the southwest, which
left nasty cross sea. Toward
O'Clock the RoXana, reeling home
ward across the bay under all the
sail good judgment would permit TO
be carried, slipped into a squall. She
lay over until the copper plates glis-
tened in the sun, as the angle OF the
deck steepened to the boiling water
in her lee. The women screamed and
scrambled for the upper rail.
The captain struggled to slack
away his sheet, but there was no time
for measures of relief. In one mo-
ment the RoXana was bottom up and
the foam was black with bobbing
heads. In another the RoNana had
vanished, and one by one the heads
began to follow her.
Fortunately the tug Lamont was
keeping sharp lookout. Captain
Keyes saw the sloop heel over in the
gust and failed to come back. In
stantly he headed for the spot where
the RCxana had been, but before
he could reach her 10 OF the passen-
gers had gone down. Life lines and
buoys were thrown to those still
afoat, and after a few minutes OF
brisk and anxious work all in sight
were taken aboard the Lamont.
The survivors, thoroughly exhaust
ed and half dazed, were taken to
hospital on Staten Island.
Few coherent accounts OF the scene
after the capsizing of the boat could
be obtained. All hands 1t seems
tried to cling to the overturned boat,
but as the little vessel sunk their
plight was precarious. OF the sur
vivors, seven were men and six were
women.

SAY ELSIE SIGEL
ENDED HER LIFE
Officials, However, Scout Idea She
Took Poison.
Denver Chinese Hear Chinese Gov
ernment And Masons Are Shield.
ing Leon Ling. But Chinese Con-
sui At New York Ridicules The
Story-Leon Supposed To Have
Fled To Escape Blame,

Denver. Col. Especially 1t is stat
ed by Chinese here that the Chinese
government, following the report of
the Chinese consul at New York upon
the Elsie Sigel case, has set the seal
OF Official approval upon the protec-
ton of Leon Ling by the Chinese
Masons and that he will never be
found with the assistance of his
countrymen.
A Chinese newspaper having the
unofiicial sanction of TIL, Chinese gov
eminent has reached Denver, in
which the alleged report of the Chi
nese consul in New York is printed
In full. This report followed an in
Vcstigation made by the consul at
the direction of the authorities at
Peking. The report, after citing the
facts OF the case as generally known,
states that 1t has been discovered
that Elsie Sigel was i'll and went to
Leon Lings room seeking medical
aid. In moment of desperation she
took her own life by poison.
Ling, the report states, was absent
at the time, and found the dead body
of the girl upon the bed on his re-
turn. Frightened by the discovery,
he called Chung Sin, says the report.
and advised him that should he tell
the truth to the police regarding the
finding of the body he would not be
/ believed and probably would be
] lynched. Frightened by this view of
the case, Ling, 1t is stated, adopted
desperate efforts to dispose of the
! body and conceal his own where
abouts.
The report of the Chinese consul
at New York embodying these state
ments was sent to Peking more than
three weeks ago. The report evident
ly is regarded by the Chinese au-
thorities as revealing the truth of the
case, and the Chinese Masons are
given permission and encouragement
to conceal Leon Ling.
A member of the Chinese colony
here said:
only God can find Leon Ling
now. He is under the protection of
Masons and is being aided by them
in his effort to escape the police.
| Unless further facts come to light
proving his guilt he will never be de-
livered to the officers by his own
people,"
The Chinese here intimate that
any assurance by the Chinese govern
ment that the Chinese of this country
will aid in the search for the fugi-
/ tive should be taken with a grain
of salt.
