municipal pier In front Of the city
auditorium collapsed. 9io
Hundreds OF persons on the top
dock were plunged down on the heads
of other hundreds crowded on the sec
ond deck. The lower deck then gave
way and all were dropped down a
chute OF shattered woodwork to the
tide-washed sands twenty-five feet
telow.
An official announcement by the
coroner states definitely that thirty
Elk. mostly women. were killed by the
shivered timbers or crushed to death
by the falling bodies Of companions
and friends.
sixty-five more were seriously In
jured. while hysteria and paralyzing
fright disabled scores Of others.
A section OF the auditorium which
went down in the crush and the debris
from 1t was added to the wreckage
that fell on top Of the injured and
the dead.
The accident occurred a fer minutes
before u o'clock. The Empire Day"
parade, the principal feature Of the
celebration In honor of the late Queen
Victoria's birth anniversary. had Just
eLded, and the participants. with
thousands Of other visitors, were
crowding up the steps Of the pier ond
surging toward the auditorium when
the pier floor sagged. An instant
later the support gave way and the
crack and groan Of breaking timbers
mingled with the shricks and cries OF
the victims a. all went down into .
mass Of broken wood and writhing hu.
man forms ON the sand. Virtually the
entire landing Of the pier wasiwrecked

or dying on the sand.
The police could not get through the
crowd, even when Chief Of Police Aus
tin gathered his entire force on the
scene. An appeal was sent to Los An
geles, twenty-four miles away, for re-
Inducements. These came In automo-
lilies, and, after helping to disperse
the thousands of curious people. they
assisted in succoring the Injured and
removing the bodies Of the dead.
The tide was out when the crash
occurred, else the collapse would have
thrown hundreds Of persons into the
sea and many drownings would have
