WALLS COLLAPSE
nine DINERS KILLED.
A Blast of Dynamite Wrecks
Restaurant at Akron, O.
MILITIA CALLED OUT
Bodies Are Taken From Wreckage OF
Crystal Restaurant, Which Col
Iapses AS Result OF Blast
Of Dynamite.

Akron, O.-At least nine persons
were killed and nearly score injured,
when the old Beacon Journal Building,
occupied by the Crystal Restaurant,
collapsed as a result of a blast of dyna-
mite in an adjoining excavation.
Seven identified and two unidentified
bodies have been recovered, and two
persons now missing are thought to be
in the ruins. Battery B, Ohio National
Guard Field Artillery, was called out
to aid the police in restraining crowd
of more than 10000 persons who pack
ed the streets at Market and Quarry,
where the accident occurred.
Thousands At Scene.
tremendous roar, echoing the
screams of dying people, brought thou
sands to the disaster scene, in the
heart of Akron's business district. In
stantly the entire city, rallying under
the shock, plunged to the work Of
rescue
Eight bodies we're soon taken out
of the wreckage after fremen, police
and volunteer rescuers had worked
frantically digging and choppine
through the debris. Nineteen more
many of them fatally injured, were
extricated and sent to the City and
Peoples Hospitals Only two or three
of the others known to have been in
the restaurant succeeded in escaping
before the crash
George Serbs, who, with his brother.
Augustus Serris, owned the restaurant
escaped from the Kitchen OF the col
1apsing restaurant, together with a
cook and two dish-washers But all
were injured by.falling bricks.
Crowded With Diners.
Blasts of dynamite, set off in an
excavation for new building directly
north of the restaurant, unsettled the
foundation The restaurant was one
story structure, with two-story false
front, and the latter, toppling back
ward, added a weight of many tons to
the falling roof
A dynamite charge set off so feet
away from the restaurant a few min
utes before the disaster is believed TO
have been the direct cause. The crash
came at 6.10, in the midst of dinner.
when the RESTAURANT was crowded and
when thousands we're on the streets
during the evening rush. So suddenly
did the ceiling cave in and the wall
crumble that those who were not in
stantly killed were knocked uncon-
Bcious.

A VICTORY FOR
BIG ARMY PLANS
House and Senate COnferees
Have Finally Agreed.
BETTER NATIONAL DEFENSE
The Bill Which viii Soon Go To the
President Provides For Stand
ing Army OF 100000
Men.

Washington.-A standing army of
100000 men, capable of being expand
ed in, emergency to 254,000, and back
ed by federalized national guard Of
425, 900 as a reserve, finally was agreed
on by House and Senate conferees on
the Army bill The agreement will be
reported to Congress early this week
and the measure, the first of the adj
ministration preparedness bills, is ex-
pected to be before President Wilson
for his signature soon afterward.
Advocates of adequate national de-
fense regard the conference agreement
as a triumph. The compromise be-
tween the House and Senate measures
was effected after weeks of struggle
against an insistent demand from
House conferees for a standing army
of only 100000 men. The Senate bill
provided for 250,000.
The minimum enlisted strength
would be attained under the confer
ence agreement within the next five
years, and it is stipulated that at no
time shall the total be less than $780,,
900.
The conference report also provides
for government nitrate manufacturing
plants to cost not exceeding $20,000,-
900, for vocational education in the
regular army and for establishment of
military training camps for volunteer
citizens whose transportation, cloth
ing and subsistence expenses while in
training would be paid by the federal
government.
The midland journal., 1916-05-19

military training camps for volunteer
citizens whose transportation, cloth
ing and subsistence expenses while in
training would be paid by the federal
government.
Salient Features.
The training camp feature as finally
approved is regarded as compensation
in measure for the federal volunteer
reserve of 261, 900 men which Senate
conferees were forced to abandon on
insistence from the House
Other salient features of the meas
ure provide for board to investigate
the advisability of establishing gov
ernment munitions plants and board
to recommend mobilization of indus
tries. Authority is given to the gov
ernment to seize and operate private
nunition plants in time of war.
The regular line of the Army, the
bill now provides, can never go below
100000, and it's maximum strength in
times of peace would be 175,000 Off
GERS and men. In this calculation,
however, there are excluded 5,723
Philippine scouts, 6,409 in the quarter
masters corps, 1920 in the medical
department, 1887 in the signal corps,
and $3.50 unassigned recruits, total
of 31,659. These added to the regular
line of 175,000 men give a total regu-
lar army peace strength OF 206.659.
The President is authorized to in
crease the regular army divisions to
maximum strength without congress
sional action.
Under the conference agreement
the regular army would consist of 65
regiments of infantry, 25 regiments OF
cavalry, 81 regiments of field artillery,
a coast artillery corps of 10000 Off
GERS and men, a signal corps of 1887
men, including the aviation section,
and seven regiments of engineers. In
the aviation section the number of
officers is increased from total of
60 to 14S, including one colonel, one
lieutenant colonel, eight majors, "a
captains and ia first lieutenants.
increase In officers.
The organization plan contemplates
attaining the full peace strength with
in five years as proposed in the origin
al preparedness plans.
General officers of the line would
be increased by four major generals
and 10 brigadier generals. The gen.
eral staff of the army would be in
creased from "a officers to So. The
Regular Army enlistment is fixed at
