Thirty:tou Persons Killed al
Long Beach, Cal.
sixTY-FWE SERIOUSLY HURT
Structure Proves Too Weak to Bear
Weight Of Nearly Ten Thou
sand Persons.

Long Beach, CAL, May 26.-Too
weak to uphold the burden of nearly
10000 human beings assembled for
the festivities of British Empire day
the land end of the big double decked
municipal pier in front of the city au-
ditorium collapsed. Hundreds Of per
sons on the top deck we're plunged
down on the heads Of other hundreds
crowded on the second deck. The
lower deck then gave way and all
were dropped down a chute of shat
tered woodwork to the tide washed
sands twenty-five feet below.
T%hirty-four persons-mostly women
were killed. by the shivered TIM
bers, or crushed to death by the fall
ing bodies of companions and friends.
Sixty-five more were seriously in
jured, while hysteria and p%aralyzing
fright disabled scores of others.
The crowd massed about the audi
forum doors was composed mostly
of women and children who had gath
cred there before the Empire day pa
rade ended. When the section about
the doors sank they went down with
it and a kalf dozen policemen, who
had been vainly striving to hold the
throng in check, went with them.
Only a comparatively small mum,
Der of men were caught in the trap,
! as. most of the male celebrators were
| taking part in the parade. Many who
were not standing on the section
| which collapsed were drawn or push
ed into the vortex and those who es-
capped crowded, panic. stricken, toward
the outer rail of the pier, starting a
| wild scramble for safety.
Mass Of Struggling Bodies.
Those who fell into the hole last
were unable. to scramble over the en-
! tangled bodies to the broken ends OF
! the floor, so deep was it massed VITA
| struggling bodies. Fallen timbers and
' flooring were damned among the limbs
, of those caught in the trap and ropes
were required to pull back the jagged
edges Of the sunken flooring and bro.
: ken joists before the dead and injured
could be taken out. "
1t, was fully an hour before the
yawning hole in the floor of the pier
could be emptied of it's tangled mass
of humanity, the dead separated from
the. injured and the dying ~extricated
from the timbers. .
The dead and seriously injured were
. laid in rows on the beach, while scores
who had sustained less serious in,
1 juries wandered in a daze seeking
missing relatives or friends. A num-
Der of these taken to hospitals were
: found unscathed, but suffering from d
nervous shock. Many of the women
and men collapsed on the pier when
the search for missing ones ended at
the long row of dead and injured.
Although most of the victims wera
: from Los Angeles and Long Beach
nearly every town in Southern Cali.
| fornia was represented among tn:
| dead and injured. II
Prospective damage suits aggregat,
ing probably 100000 or more and a
grand jury investigation engaged the
, attention Of city officials as the most
Imminent outcome of the disaster.

RIDDELL

The death of Capt. John NJ. Rid
dell, marks the passing of one o.
Barbourville's most beloved and
best citizens Few men who are in
public lite as he was during his term
as Police Judge. have succeeded in
acquitting the Office with the friend
ship of all those who have come in
contact with that court. Judge
Riddell was a man who did his duty
as he sawit regardless of influence
from any outside source; he made a
very efficient officer, performed his
duties during the four years tenure
OF his office and when death called
him from his labors had more
friends than he had before assam
ing the duties OF this office The
loss OF Judge Riddell to Barbour
vile is great. We may have other
men who can fill the office made
vacant by his death. but it is not
alone in his olheial capacity that
his loss is felt; a. a citizen his mem

the Smyrna Times.

From the Smyrna Times.
What Smyrna needs is an industry
that will employ men--heads Of fami-
lies Bring an industry here Of this
kind, every other business would
benefit thereby The underwear and
shirt factories could get more help,
more houses would be occupied and
Smyrna would grow materially Pity
that some concerted action cannot be
made by our capitalists and business
men TO secure an industry Of this
kind. If the efforts and inducement
could be made, we believe with
Smyrna's natural advantages, rail and
boat facilities, etc, Il could be had.
