Over 100 Hurt AS
Grandstand Falls
All Will Recover in Phila-
delphia Accident

PHILADELPHIA, June &c
(UP).-A score of persons were
severely injured last night when
the grandstand from which they
were watching the mummers' pa
rade held in connection with the
Democratic national convention
swayed backwards like careen-
ing ship and threw them SIX feet
to the ground.
About 90 other persons received
cuts and bruises.
The more seriously injured, suf-
fering mostly from fractured legs
and arms, were rushed through
the crowds to three hospitals. The
crowd was so thick on Philadel-
phia's parkway as the gaily clad
marchers passed by that police
only a block away from the acct
dent did not know it happened:
About 200 persons were sitting
on the stand in the park, when a
particularly attractive float passed
by. They all stood up to see it.
The combined weight caused 1t
to topple over, throwing men, wo-
men and children into screaming,
scrambling mass on the lawn.
A Red Cross float, fortunately
was approaching just as the stand
crashed. Uniformed nurses, fire
men and police jumped from the
float and began administering first
aid.
Physicians said none of the In
iured were hurt so seriously they
would not recover.

There is wide gap between

what is right, DR.. R. L. Moore,
president of Mars Hill college,
pointed out yesterday to the XII

ed by r. S. Gibbs, Jr., chairman
of the Boy Scout committee.
In his address, DR.. Moore quot
ed Walt Whitman as having said
that mans essential needs are
only threefold-bread, beauty and
brotherhood, and asserted that
when ones financial income ex-
ceeds that required for food, shell
ter, clothing and other essentials
there is danger that he will spend
the surplus for things that may
degrade character. He declared
also that he who increases beauty
and cultivates the spirit of bro
therhood contributes greatly to
the world.
"Times certainly are out of
joint and the people are confused
in their thinking" said DR.. Moore.
eff not, why should throng of
people contribute almost a million
dollars to see two men fight one
another in a prize ring"
character is caught rather
than taught" he said further,
caught from those whom we
admire"
DR.. Moore paid tribute to old
Judson college and to Fruitland
Institute for having turned out
thousands of young people who
became leaders in many activities.
A. F. Barber reported briefly
on the clubs international con-
vention held this week in Wash

MACK OFFERS
NAME BEFORE

Frenzied Demonstration of
One Hour and Nine
Minutes Staged
SECONDING SPEECHES
AND VOTING TO COME

DELPHIA, June 26.-(UP).-A
frenzied demonstration for Presi-
dent Roosevelt broke loose in the

The demonstration ended at
2:34 p. m, today, having lasted
for one hour and nine minutes,

Judge Mack in his denomination
address cast the president in the
role of defender of the faith of
the people," and said that the
New Deal had stripped "classes of
privilege" of their power over the
government.
"The issue now is whether the
people are going to retain control
of the processes of government,
or whether they are gonig to turn
back to this small group, whose
abuse of their former
power is responsible for all our
troubles"
Gently, but in language unmis-
takably to the man in the brown
derby, Mack referred to the one
time friendship between Roose-
Welt and AL Smith.
The convention was expected to
adjourn this afternoon following
additional seconding speeches of
Roosevelt. which were to be added
to that of Judge Mack, and be re-
by Chairman Robinson
at 8 o'clock tonight.

fered for the denomination Of Mr..
Roosevelt by reclamation. This
latter procedure may be changed
