TORONTO, May 4. The south wall
of a five-story building recently con
structed for the William Neilson Com
pany, Limited,- fell today, burying a
score of employes.
The building, which has been oc
cupied for two months, was supposed
to have been splendidly built and was
said by its owners to be the most up-to-date
plant of the kind in the coun
try. The first and second floors were
occupied by manufacturers of ice
cream and chocolates. Two hundred
employes, the majortiy of whom were
women and children, were working
when the accident occurred shortly
before noon.
The entire city fire brigade turned
out to aid in the rescue work. The
first bodies recovered were those of
a man and a woman who apparently
had been instantly killed. Later the
unidentified bodies of two girls were
brought out.
Five girls, still alive, but badly hurt
were next removed. It was impos
sible to estimate the number of miss
ing or their identity, but it is believ
ed that between 20 and 30 dead will
be found.
The workers, following a cry for
help, discovered a woman whose
name is not known, hemmed in by
girders a mass of debris. Her posi
tion was such that it was believed
she could not be taken out alive.
Three more were added to the list
of injured when an unidentified car
penter, who had ben working on the
building was found unconscious and
William Lamby and a laborer were
taken out.
The upper stories of the building
were incomplete and the carpenters
were working on them when the wall
fell. The wall appears to have buck
led half way up.

of tree and stump-pulling for the in
struction and entertainment of the
guests. Clearing land by stumping

Candidates in the Enterprise Grand
Voting Contest would do well to bear
in mind AEsops Fable, perhaps you
lead at the present moment, but
there are others who propose to fig
ure with the winners the closing
night of the Grand Prize Voting Con
test. You may have several thousand
votes held in reserve; perhaps tens
of thousands; but how about your
competitors? They too may be con
ducting a secret campaign; intent
on carrying off the first Grand Cap
ital Prize. You cannot be too sure,
it is better that you win by a hund
red thousand majority, than to loose
by one vote, A warning that thyfcon
test bids fair to wind up with a grand
rush and an avalanche of votes cast
at the last minute is all that the
contest manager can give you. If
you lose through - neglecting your
campaign and wasting valuable time
at the closing hour, it will be your
fault and not misfortune if you fail
to be named with the winners on the
closing night
MRS. BROWN CATCHES
33-
Mrs. George Brown is probably the
only woman here who has the dis
tinction of catching one of the largest
Chinook salmon during the open sea
son. The fish was taken into the row
boat without a gaff hook. It is cust
omary for men after the fish has
been caught by the spoon hook, to
use the gaft hook. Mrs. Brown sim
ply used her hands, taking hold of
the gills of the big fish that weigh
ed thirty-three pounds, and pulled the
salmon into the boat without assist
ance. The salmon was caught be
neath the suspension bridge. Mrs.
Brown's husband is in the fish busi
ness in this city, and she enjoys the
sport of fishing as well as her husband-

IDENT TAFT
SAYS, "I'LL FIGHT"
BALTIMORE, May 4. President
Taft began his fight for the support
of the Maryland voters in Monday's
Presidential primaries today with
speeches at Hyattsville and Laurel,
in which he again attacked " Colonel
Roosevelt, accused him of misstate
ment and misquotation' of his speech
es; said Mr. Roosevelt consorted with
the bosse he now preaches against
for seven years, while he was in the
White House, and assailed bitterly
and at. length Roosevelt's doctrine of
the recall of Judgei and judicial de
cisions. -
"I'm a man of peace," shouted the
President at Hyattsville, "and I don't
want to fight. But when I do fight
I want to hit hard. Even a rat in
a corner will fight."
The President said he deprecated
the necessity that forced him to come
out in a political campaign like an
ordinary candidate.
"If only my personal ambition were
concerned," he said, "if only my per
sonal ' reputation were at stake, I
should not bother you, but I consider
that I represent a cause.
"The innovator is abroad : in the
land and we are told that there are
new things that should be introduced
for instance, the recall of Judges. If
his policy is adopted it will mean
that in Democratic years the deci
sions upon laws will be Democratic
and in Republican years they will be
Republican. So we'll have varying
interpretations of the constitution de
pending on a single vote.
"I am courageous enogh to come
out and tell the people what they
already know they recognize the
shortcomings of a sudden decision of
the people. .
."All I ask is a square deal," said
the President. "Mr. Roosevelt be
lieves in referring to the standards of
sport as maxims oflife. I don't ob
ject to it, but all I ask is that he give
me a square deal."
This, the last day of the primary
election campaign in Maryland, found
President Taft, and Coloner Roose
velt early on the move,, with speak
ing programs that will occupy them
until bedtime and cover nearly every
part of the state. . . .

PROVISIONAL HEAD
EL PASO, Tex, May 4 Emilio
Vasquez Gomez was formally pro
claimed provisional president of Mex
co today by the rebels, and estab
lished himself in Juarez.
Gome paid a visit to Juarez today
at noon, and was received by the
rebel officials, who escorted him to
the custom-house. The officials then
wired to Genrela Orozco to ascertain
if they should ,hold him or release
him. He was then virtually a pris
oner. S. A. Bentley, an American refu
gee from Coahuila, today told a storj
of torture which he said had been in
flicted on himself and C. W. Richardf
an El Pasoan, in the Juarez jail. The
Americans were released last night
after 21 hours of confinement, dur
ing which, Bentley declared' he was
hit on the head with the butt of a
pistol end hung, up by a rope sev
eral times. In proof of his story he
showed a great lump on his head
and abrasions around his neck.
Bentley and Richards were passeng
ers on a streetcar Thursday night
when cartridges placed on the track
be practical jokers exploded. The
Americans and two Mexicans were
the only male passerigers and they
were arrested and taken to jail. On
the person of one of the Mexicans,
according to Bentely, cartridges were
found. He was beaten to make him
confess that he was acting for the
Federals. Finaly he was shot and
then hanged until death came to his
relief- This occurred in the presence
of the Americans.
When Bentley protested against his
arrest, he says, Hosea Orozco, a nep-
i'hew of the rebel commander-in-chief
Paseual Orozco, became enraged and
beat him with a revolver. Richards
said nothing and escaped more easily
Bentley was then hung up for a mo
ment Orozco. he says demanded that he
confess to being a spy, and let him
down. This was repeated several
times in- an endeavor to secure a con
fession, the American declares. At
last his jailers gave up the attempt,
and last night he and Richards were
released through efforts of Mrs. Rich
ards. CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE
