INJURED HURRIED
TO HOSPITALS

The dead, many of whom were still un-
Identified tonight were laid in the Ma
tional Guard armory, while the injured
were hurried to various hospitals In this
city and Los Angeles.
The accident occurred few minutes
before u o'clock. The Empire Day pa
rade. the principal feature of the celebra-
ton In honor of the late Queen Victoria S
birth anniversary. had just ended, and the
participants, with thousands of other WIS.,
itors, were crowding up the steps of the
pier and sursing toward the auditorium
when the pier floor sagged An instant
later the supports gave way, and the
crack and groan of breaking timbers,
mingled with the shrieks and cries of the
victims, as all went down into mass
of broken wood and wrthng human
forms on the sand.
Virtually the entire landing of the pier
was wrecked and portion of the audi
torium front fell.
The cause OF the ACCIDENT Was the over
burdening of the pier. This, according
to an official statement tonight, was due
to the delay in unlocking the doors. Ha
the doors been unlocked at the proper
time it was asserted. the crowd would
have got into the auditorium, instead of
massing at the doors, where the weight
overwhelmed the pier supports.
Scottish bagpipers had just entered the
portal of the auditorium and still were
marking time when the timbers were sun
dered.
When the auditorium fell those near tho
doors tried to get out of the pier and
went down on top of the scores who
already lay hurt or dying on the sand.
Mayor Hatch of Long Beach, who was
to have been one OF the principal speak
ers at the celebration, was III the midst
of the throng on the pier and at first was
reported to be among the dead or in
jured. He escaped unhurt, however, AMI
helped direct the work of rescue.

includes cooperation by the national

to be established here in July. Secre-
tary James B. Reynolds of the national
committee will be in charge. A COM
mittee was selected To consider ques-
tions affecting contests before the Ma :
tional committee and recognition of
the primary system of electing dele
gates to national conventions. This
committee is expected to advise the ma
tional committee whether it has au-
thority to change the basis of repre-
sentat ion. The executive committee was
not agreed upon this question and legal
advice was thought advisagle 1t was
the general opinion, however, that "A

The decision to call the national
committee all together 60 days after

ADMIT NEED OF

Harmony Prevails at First Formal
Meeting of Republican Leaders
Since 1912 Campaign--Agree
Upon Campaign Plans

Washington. May 24.--Leaders of the
republican party laid preliminary plans
here today for the congressional cam
paign of 1914 and the national po-
litical battle of two years later to re-
gain control of Congress and posses
sion of the White House.
AS Il result the republican national
committee will meet so days after ad-
journment of the extra session of Con
gress and an extraordinary republican
national convention is expected not
later than a year hence.
Changes in the basis of representa-
tion in national conventions and re-
form of methods of party procedure,
which have been subject to criticism will
be disposed of through these agencies.
Close cooperation between the ma
tional committee and the con gression-
al campaign committee was agreed
upon.
Todays conference was the first for
NAL meeting of republican leaders since
the 1912 campaign, and it was har-
monious from the time Chairman
Charles d. IIilles of the national COM
mittee called for order until the last
motion was adopted. The need for re-
form within the party was not denied.
The suggestion of the progressive ele-
ment for national convention in the
near future was heard and it was prac-
tically the unanimous opinion that such
convention should be called. 1t was
decided to submit this question to the
national committee and the agreement
of opinion among the executive COM
mitteemen was taken as an indication
| of what might be expected from tn,

CURIOUS ALASKAN BIRDS.

Male Ptarm1sans Woe In Two Tongues
and Dully Their Mates.
The ptarmigan, an Alaskan bird. is
a wonderful imitator Of man. II Bel
more Browne. who contributes an ar
ticle on Alaskan game to Outing, Ii to
be believed. To begin with, the author
finds that the ~ptarmigan is a linguist
of no ability. The male does his
wooing in mixed French and English:
"a pleasing side Of their mating Is
the habit Of the males of uttering their
call while on the wing. They COM
mence with a cultural cackle, which
they utter faster and faster until they
alight, when they end their song by
repeating slowly a call that sounds
like ged-up, ged-up, ged-up. ged-up or
parlez vous? parlez vous? parlez vous?
as they strut proudly about"
In addition, to singing In two Ian
guages, the ptarmigan conducts his
personal and domestic affairs In APP
proved fashion. Could not the follow
ing observation apply to human beings
az well as to this remarkable bird:
1.-THE males fight constantly, and the
hens seem to enjoy these battles and
sit about clucking among themselves.
"But once a hen has decided on q
mate she comes into her own share Of
troubles and is beaten and bullied by
the mate she has promised to love and
obev."
