LABOR LEADER is INJURED.
Samuel Gompcrs Suffers from Inju-
ricS Received in Taxi Wreck.

New York, April 27.-Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, was seriously
injured here this afternoon when a
taxicab in which he was riding was
struck by Broadway surface car
and hurled 20 feet to the curb.
Surgeons who were summoned re-
ported after an examination that two
of Mr.. Gompers' ribs had been frac-
tured, his right hip sprained, and
that he had suffered severe body
contusions. Despite the advanced
age Of the labor leader, who is 50
years old, the surgeons declared that
there was no likelihood of the inju-
ries proving fatal.
Mr. Gompers has been busy virtu-
ally every minute since his return
from the peace conference, where he
served as chairman Of the commits
sion on international labor legisla-
tion. He had just started out from
his hotel for an hours relaxation
when the accident occurred.
AS the taxicab crossed the Broad
way car track at 31st street 1t was
struck by north-bound car. Pedes-
trians who witnessed the crash
rushed to the wrecked machine and
eXtricated Mr.. Gompers, who was
found to be unconscious. One side
Of the cab was completely crushed
in, and the wreckage had pinned
him against the other side of the
machine.
Mr.. Gompers was carried back to
his hotel. After an examination sur
geons decided that it would be unwise
to remove him to hospital.
Although 1t was insisted that Mr.
Gompers' condition was not critical,
officials Of the American Federation
Of Labor said that bulletins will be
issued from time to time, reporting
his condition.

ANOTHER FIRE IN GREENvu.1.E
Tho Colonial Apartments and Other
Buildings arc Destroyed.

Greenville, April 26.--The Colo
NAL Building, combined apartment
house and theatre, was totally de-
stroyed by fire at 40 o'clock this
morning. A gale blowing Mt the
time carried burning embers in IL
southeasterly direction, causing the
destruction Of the COca-Cola Bottling
Works garage and setting fire to u
warehouse of the same company and
dwelling in the Camperdown Mill
village quarter OF |! mile distant.
l'he lying sparks became so menac-
ing that residents within block ON
all sides OF tho building moved their
household effects into the streets, and
small hlazes on the roofs Of the
houses added to. the labors Of the
firemen. The Colonial Theatre sec
tfon OF the structure was owned by
G. G. Good, who estimates his loss.
at $4,000, with $4,000 insurance.
5. S. Plaxico and Fred Plaxico, the
owners OF the Colonial Apartment
House portion, estimate their loss at
5000, with $4,000 insurance.
The nearly 200 occupants Of tho
apartment house were forced to flee
from the building scantily clad, and
without saving any OF their PERSONAL
effects
The fire started in the dome over
the centre of the apartment house,
and spread with such rapidity, aided
by the high wind, that the efforts Of
the tiremen were futile The house
was for many years the Chicora Col
lege building. 1t was erected about
35 years ago and was n one-story
building. The State then purchased
the building, added another story to
it, and other additions were made to
the building when 1t became the
Presbyterian seminary. The third
story to the building was added
about eight years ago. The building
stood on elevated ground in the
western part Of the city, and was one
Of the most imposing buildings in
this section. The college building
was purchased some few years ago
from the South Carolina Presbyter-
ians by G. G. Good, who in turn sold
a portion offft"to the present own
ers, S. S. Plaxico and his son.
