Doctors. Nurses and Police Rushed

Los Angeles, Cal. May I'll IlFly-
seven person killed and one hundred
and seventeen injured shortly before
noon today when the promenade fell
through leading from the Municipal
Pier at Long Beach to the Municipal
Auditorium for the exercises there
in celebration of Empire Day, the an
niversary of the birth of Queen Vic
toria, by British residents of South
! ern California.
Deaths of the fatally injured will
! fifty.
Nearly all the victims are former
Britons or the children of I'ritons
and most of them We're residents OF
| Los Angeles.
The parade of the United English,
Scotch, Australian and New Zealand
societies had just passed over the pro-
menade into the auditorium and the
crowd massed there surged forward
when, without an instant's warning
the flooring Immediately i'll front of
the double doors gave way, an area
Of forty by sixty feet of it sinking
with a horrible crash beneath its hu-
man load.
Hundreds were precipitated amid
the wreckage of timbers to the floor
beneath, which in turn, broke beneath
the sudden strain and fully hundred
of the men, women and children OF
the human avalanche were dropped
to the sand beach forty feet below
the level of the promenade. At that
hour the tide did not reach the place
were they fell with the tangle of
wreckage.
The roar and crash of timbers died
away, to be followed at once by the
shrieks and groans of the injured and
| the frantic cries of the thousands who
saw the catastrophe. The crowd
| swarmed in upon the beach around
the mass of broken timbers and the
dead and dying and terribly injured,
! until the work of rescue was begun
with difficulty.
Squads of police fought their way
through with clubs and drove the
crowd of frantic friends and relatives
back far enough to give chance for
the rescue of the living and the re-
mOval of the dead.
The Long Beach Company of the
National Guard rushed to the audi
persons gathered for the celebration
under control. The entire fire de-
partment force gave the police and
the militiamen assistance and pre-
vented outbreak of fire.
Every physician and trained nurse
| in Long Beach was summoned to at
tend the injured who were removed
rapidly to the hospitals and hereby
hotels and residences The dead were

Long Beach in automobiles.
Investigation of the responsibility
for the collapse of the promenade is
demanded on all sides, and Long
Beach officials promise the investi-
cation will be thorough. The struct-
ure is old and lacks strength to SUPP

New York, May 24.-Tom Sharkey,
when asked this evening for his opin-

Carly said: From what | have learn
ed McCarty's heart was bad. He
should never have been allowed to en-
ter the ring today.
"My theory for the past twenty
years is that all persons just as they
20 into the ring should submit to a
physical examination. If the heart ac-
ton is not normal their entrance
should be barred"

There! little girl, don't cry!

And your teaset blue
And your playhouse, too,
And things of the long ago;
But childish troubles will soon pass
by.
There! little girl, don't cry!
There! little girl, don't cry!
They have broken your slate,
know;
And the glad, wild ways
OF your schoolgirl days
Are things of the long ago;
But life and love will soon come by
There! little girl, don't cry!
There! little girl, don't cry!
They have broken your heart,
know;
And the rainbow CLEANS
OF your youthful dreams
Are things of the long ago;
But heaven holds all for which you
sigh.

Lots of Honey.

While in F. J. Rosenthals store
the other day we observed an un-
usual fine display of honey in his
window, which looked very tempt
ing. After viewing it Mr.. RosenthaI
requested US to go back to his store
room and he would show us a real
display, and sure enough he did,
for he has over 5000 pounds of as
nice cone honey as we ever saw
stacked up in his store, and every
bit of it a WinnesHek Co. product
which speaks well for our bee indus
try. He informed us that while it
seemed a large amount, still it
would last him only short time,
as he not only has a large retail
trade on honey, but WHOLESALERS it
as well.
