JULIUS RosENWALD's BENEFIT ASSOCIATION
WILL NOW GIVE WOOD A LOVELY FUNERAL"

neral, a lovely funeral, and a head
stone over his grave, and perpetuity
fund to keep the grave covered with
flowers. R P. Moffett, president of
Sears, Roebuck & Co.'s Mutual
Benefit Association"
A reporter for The Day Book went
to Sears, Roebuck & Co. today to
find out if the officials of that COM
pany's mutual benefit association"
had changed their minds about the
kind of funeral Angus Wood should
have.
Angus Wood, an employe of Sears,
Roebuck & Co., for seven years, and
a member of the company's mutual
benefit association" for four years,
died last Monday.
According to the strict interpreta-
ton of the cOmpany's mutual bene-
fit associations" bylaws, as done by
John Higgins, secretary of the as
ISOLATION, the association owed
Woods estate $236.25.
Yet Higgins told friends of Wood
that the mutual benefit association"
that julius Rosenwald was so proud
of when on the grill before the
O'Hara welfare commission, would
only give Wood a 500 funeral, and
would not provide a carriage for pail
bearers nor flowers for respect of the
dead.
The friends of Wood then desired
to know what Mr.. Higgins and the
mutual benefit association" were
going to do with the balance of the |
money that would be owing the Wood |
estate after the $50 funeral was paid |
for.
Higgins was very vague about this. |
He at first said he would credit to |
Woods relatives at the Easton Rec
tory, Manchester, England. 1t was
pointed out that these relatives had |
failed to answer letters sent to them
at that address during Woods illness.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-06-27

Before Woods friends left Higgins
promised to take up the matter of
the carriages for pallbearers and
flowers with the directors of the ''mu-
tUal benefit association" which met
yesterday afternoon.
The directors met yesterday after
noon and decided that 500 was alto
gether too much to spend on Woods
funeral and cut that amount to $50.
Then The Day Book, carrying the
full story of the decisions of the
mutual benefit association" in the
case appeared on the street. So The
Day Book decided to make new in
quiries today.
The reporter first asked for Hig-
gins, Higgins having been the person
who did all the talking to Woods
friends. Higgins, strange as it may
seem, was not in. Probably he was
out in the back lot playing ball.
The reporter then said that if Hig-
gins were not there julius Rosenwald
might do instead. The man guarding
the way into Rosenwald's den want
ed to know if the reporter had an
appointment. The reporter said no,
but that he was from The Day Book.
"Ah," said the Rosenwald guardian
angel, possibly Mr.. Rosenwald is not
in-now that l come to think of it,
Mr.. Rosenwald did not come in at all
today"
The reporter then sought out P. P.
Moffett, president of the wonderful
mutual benefit association" He re-
ferred the reporter to Higgins and
the reporter said he was in hurry.
Surely you, as president of the
association, know what is going to
be DONE" said the reporter.
why, yes" said Moffett, brighten
ing up. why, yes, we're going to
give Wood a fine funeral, a lovely

BRIDGE GOES DOWN
Sixth Street Viaduct Spans Sag
Under Cars.
Narrow Escape of Street Rail-
way Ballast Train.

The Sixth street viaduct sagged under
the weight of two heavy cars this after
noon and has made it impossible for
traffic to continue to Oakland. At
about o'clock the heavy motor truck
of the street railway, and an open
freight car with a heavy load of rock,
started across the viaduct to take the
rock to Oakland. The first part was
accomplished in safety, but near the
end of the bridge and over the Santa
Fe freight tracks, the bridge began to
sag. The motorman. A. g. Bennett
became alarmed and shut off the motor,
but the bridge sank to an angle of
about 40 degrees. Neither Bennett nor
the other occupant of the car, Ed Dun
can. was hurt.
No one was on the viaduct at the
time of the accident, but some boys
were passing underneath. Two other
street cars had started to pass the
bridge, but returned to the Santa re
hospital when the conductors saw the
accident. The steel screws on the iro I
fence by the side of the track were
severed. The track was strained, but
held fast and kept the cars from fall
ing off.

do nothing. Only one car is on the
other side of the bridge, and present in
dications are that Oakland will have
to suffice with it for some time. a
whole quarter of the bridge will have
to be repaired and a new viaduct may
have to be built
a Santa F'e passenger coach was be-
low the cars at the time, save for some
broken rock that fell on it, nothing
was damaged.
After the cavein had occurred. it
took several men to keep big crowd
of people from staying underneath the
injured bridge. Two policemen and
several conductors stationed them
selves under the trestle and they had
a difficult time to push back the eager
crowd.
Bridge Built in 1890.
The Sixth street viaduct was built
way and the Topeka Railway company.
Under the contract the city is respon-
sibIe for the bridges upkeep and
maintenance and repairs. 1t is a
steel structure extending over the
Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific tracks
on East Sixth avenue. The bridge ac-
commodities pedestrians, street cars
planked with street railway tracks in
the center.
W. q. Tandy. city commissioner,
stated this afternoon that to his
knowledge the structure was safe pre-
vious to the accident.
Although the weight of a loaded
street car is better distributed than
the weight of a ballast train, there
have been times when the big Oak
land cars carried mass of human
freight over the Sixth street structure.
If the bridge had collapsed as it did
