The mechanics of crowds are much
better understood today than formerly
and life and property are much better
safeguarded. 1t VIII be recalled that on

police unwlttingly allowed the crowd to
enter the foot paths of the bridge from
both ends When the two crowds met
several people were badly crushed The
two groups did not rush at one another,
and certainly meant no violence. The
danger was not realized for several mo-
