Nearly a Hundred Artisans and
Laborers Carried Down
in the Ruin.
NINE LOSE THEIR LIVES
Citizens of Long Beach. Oal., at. Once
Begin the Rescue of Those
Pinned Down by Wreckage
and Tangled Iron Work.
LONG BEACH. Cal., Nov. 9 With no
warning save the cries of the workmen
who first felt the floore sag beneath their
feet, five stories of the central part of the
new 2.0fA Eixby Hotel collapsed at 9:35
this morning, carrying nine men to death
in the tons of tangled wreckage. About
l.V artieans and laborers were scattered
through the structure at the moment it
fell, and of these nearly 1 were carried
down in the ruins.
Seven bodies have been recovered from
the mass of debris in the basement, and
one of the injured died late this afternoon
at the Long Beach Hospital. The last two
victims were found at S o'clock this even
ing, and the rescue crews, are still at
work in the hope of uncovering the body
of another man supposed to be buried
there.
Nine injured workmen are. being cared
for at the hospital, but it is believed that
all will recover. All of the men on the
contractors' rolls are accounted for save
one, supposed to he still in the ruins.

Immediately after the collapse of the
structure hundreds of bystanders lent
willing aid in the work of rescue. The
Southern Pacific and Salt Lake & Pacific
Electric Railroads sent crews of laborers
to the scene and under the direction of
City Marshal Young. Mayor Downs and
Contractor Spalding the task of remov
ing the wreckage was begun. Company
H. Seventh Regiment. N. G. C. was
called out and lines were thrown about
the building, all but the rescuers being
excluded.
Aged Mother Weeps and AVail?.
Pitiful scenes were enacted among the
throngs who stood outside the lines wait
ing for news. An aged mother sat all
day long on the bluff overlooking the
.hotel, weeping and watching for the
body of her son. Five times the
"stretcher-bearers were called, and. headed
by a Catholic priest, a little procession
emerged from the building to where the
undertakers' wagons were waiting.
At the first call for help the women
of Long Beach began preparing food for
the rescuers and established commissary
tables near the building. When it be
came apparent that the bottom of the
ruins would not be reached tonight, lights
were placed over the wreckage that the
work might not be interrupted. Late in
the day the Salt Lake Railroad brought
a steam crane to the bluff behind the
hotel, where it could be used to -move
the heavier pieces of wreckage.
Causes to Be Investigated.
Conflicting causes are assigned for the
collapse of the central wing, and, to in
vestigate the disaster a commission of
architects and engineers was this after
noon appointed. The commission con
sists of:
Architects Morgan. Kremple, Albrirht,
Whitlwy. T. F. Osborne and Lewis Park'er.
of Los Angeles; I. H. Hellman. concrete build
ing Inspector of Los Ang-lep; Contractor Carl
Leonardt. of Los Angeles; Captain Fries and
Captain Amos. United states Engineers;
President Daubfsprek. president of the Los
Angelea Architect' Association: Thomas Fel
lows. Assistant Building Inspector of Los
Angeles, and Austin Brown and C. H. Craig,
representing the architects and the con
trartor for the hotel.
The new hotel is built on the beach
sands facing the ocean. To this fact Con
tractor A. F. Spaulding attributes the dis
aster, alleging that the footings were in
secure and weakened the structure.
John A. Austin, of the firm of Austin &
Brown, architects for the building, as
cribes the disaster to the premature re
moval of the support of the concrete work
on the fifth floor, alleging that the cement
had been given but three instead of six
weeks to "set."
Almost without exception the men con
tend that the building fell from the top,
carrying the lower floors with it.
Heavy Beam Dropped hy Workmen.
R. A. Zee. who was taken from the
ruins with his leg gashed and suffering
from Internal injuries, said:
"I was at work on the fourth -floor of
the building nailing down a joist. I no
ticed four or five laborers carrying a
heavy beam from the front towards the
central portion of the building. When
they arrived about the center. I saw them
let the beam fall with unusual violence.
"The whole building shook, and then
seemed to crumble and fall beneath all of
us. I saw workmen jump in all direc
tions, and in an attempt to escape the
wreckage I fell straight back into the
interior of the structure. When I struck
the ground below. I lost, consciousness,
and knew nothing more until some men
pulled me out."
The Hotel Blxby. which has been under
course of construction for several months,
was to have been one of the best-appointed
hotels on the southern coast. The
total cost of the building was estimated
at $2Vi0n. The plans called for 278 guest
chambers and the building covered' a
sround space of ITS by 348 feet. Four
stories of the structure had reached com
pletion. It was being built on the beach
facing the ocean and about 200 feet dis
tant from the shore. Austin B. Brown,
of Los Angeles, was the architect, and
R. C. Spaulding, of Los Angeles, was the
contractor.
The Kahn Construction Company, of
Detroit, according to Architect Austin and
Contractor Spaulding, supplied the steel
bars and drawings and computations of
strain for the floors of the building.
A representative of the architectural
firms says that the accident undoubtedly
was 'due to the fact that the floors of the
building were of reinforced tile, which
evidently could not stand the weight of
the structure. Reinforced concrete had
been recommended in the plans and speci
fications drawn for the building, and that
material was provided. The reinforced
tile was put in . later for decorative pur
poses. '
SHUT OUT BY NORTHERN
President of Xorth Coast Complains
of Treatment Keceived.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Nov. 9.
(Special.) Before leaving here on the
morning train for his home in Spokane,
Robert E. Strahorn. president of the
North Coast' Railway, made the follow
ing statement for publication relative to
the attempt of the Northern Pacific to
keep it out of the Yakima Valley:
The Northern Pacific Is not fighting us
to keep land which it needs. It Is trying to
keep a competitor out of the Yakima al
ley, or failing in that, to compel it to build
its lines where the people do not want them
or cannot easily reach them to do busi
ness. The real and only reason for not building
our road is that we have been Hindered
and delayed in every conceivable way by
the Northern Pacific. It has now become
apparent to us that we must fight for every
inch of the right of way through here
against, that corporation. It has a trans
portation monopoly in the Yakima coun
try, and nroDoses to keen it If possible.
We have just begun to realize this. If we
had understood It as well six months ago
as we understand it now. the North Coast
Road would have been built this Winter
through this valley.
We supposed tnat when the Northern Pa
cific people understood that we had the
backing to carry out our scheme, and meant
business, they would meet us fairly and
make the arrangements that have to be
made about rights of way. We have a right
to come into the Yakima Valley, and while
the Northern Pacific may cause delay and
expense, it cannot in the end keep us out.
Knowing this, we supposed tne Northern
Pacific would not fail to accord us the
treatment we had a right to expect.
When we went to its representatives we
got nothing but promises. We supposed
the promises would be kept. They have
not been kept. For six months we have
been put off on one pretext and another,
shunted from one department to another,
and given promises which on one excuse or
another were not kept.

and it relieved me at once. I used it

BOY HELD IHI CHAINS
Incredible Cruelty of Farmer to
Maniac Child.
HE GIBBERS LIKE MONKEY
Manacled in Corn-Crib and Almost
Xaked, Six-Year-Old Boy Is
Found on Long Island
and Rescued.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9. (Special. 1
Chained like a do to the floor of a
corn crib by heavy manacles, which
were more than he could lift, a de
mented boy, 6 years old, was found to
day by detectives on the farm of Peter
Nelson, on the North Hempstead road,
near Flushing. Over the child's bead
was tied a rag and this and a woman's
skirt drawn about his neck were the
only garments to protect him from the
cold. .Otherwise he was naked.
The detectives found the boy chatter
ing like a monkey. He rolled about,
uttering weird cries, and tried to bite
them when they freed him.
The boy is said to be John Nelson,
son of the owner of the farm. The lat
ter. 74 years old., was held today in $500
bail by Magistrate Connerton. of the
Police Court in Flushing. The boy vas
turned over to the Children's Society.
The neighbors called the attention of
the police to the boy; and say that
Mr. Nelson owns the farm, which Is
worth $20,000, but rather than commit
the boy to the asylum, he kept him
chained like a dog in the corn crib.
The detectives say that, when they
released the boy, he started off on all
fours, apparently not knowing how to
walk erect. In court his gibbering con
tinued, and he rolled on the floor, utter
ing strange sounds. When his mother
tried to speak to him. he tried to bite
her fingers and jab them into her eyes.
Magistrate Connerton tried to make the
boy talk, but the lad was unable to
utter an intelligible sound.
LOST II THE
HEXRY GOERS DISAPPEARS
WHILE OX HUNTING TRIP.
Searching Parties Have Been Out
Every Day Since in the Wet
Woods and Canyons.
MIST. Or.. Nov. 9. (Special) Some
where in the canyons between Clatskanie
and Mist. Henry Goers, who disappeared
last Monday, is dead, injured or wander
ing about unable to find his way back
home. Volunteer parties have been
searching the woods for him until worn
out Tyy their exertions. It is hoped tha.t
some of Goers' old friends will come
down to Mist and aid in the search.
Goers former home was near Troutdale.
He had been boarding with Mrs. W. S.
Deppold. a mile from Mist. Last Mon
day he started on a fishing and hunting
trip with Harold Dippold. They sepa
rated after Dippold had mapped out a
route, agreeing to meet about a half
mile distant. Dippold arrived at the
meeting place and waited for Goers,
whom he knew- to be a slow walker.
In the hope of attracting his hunting
companion's attention Dippold discharged
hi9 rifle and then shouted again and
again. Receiving no response Dippold
took a short-cut for home.
In the meantime a gale of wind and
rain sprang up. making it very dangerous
for anyone to be out in the woods, and
darkness was falling fast, although it
was only about 4 o'clock in the after
noon. Dippold brought out a horn and
blew blasts that could be heard for miles,
and again fired his rifle repeatedly as a
9ignal.
The following dsy several men went
out to hunt for the lost man, and found
that the rains had obliterated all his
tracks. Despite the task, made disagree
able by the rains, parties have searched
faithfully every day since, jt is hoped
friends of Goers will now come down
and help.
Mist is nine miles back of Clatskanie.
Or., and Clatskanie is SO miles down the
Columbia river from Portland.
Mrs. M. S. Dippold. at Mist, will be
glad to receive any communication from
Portland or Troutdale friends. Mrs. Dip
pold says:
"The missing man had no provisions
with him and expected to stay out only
a. few hours. He had a good compass,
however, and was an unusually bright
man. He remarked the evening before
that if ever he got lost that he would
always hunt up a stream and follow it
out and shoot birds for his maintenance,
so you see some terrible disaster has be
fallen him."

WARNED OF A HOLD-UP.
Armed Cripple Creek Train Rushed
Past Rosernont.
COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.. Nov. 9.
Railroad men here were warned today of
a plot to hold up a Cripple Creek Short
Line train and rob the express car about
noon today at Rosernont. 21 miles west of
this city. The daring hold-up was not
put into execution, as the train rushed
by Rosernont at high speed. So far as
can be learned the plot was hatched a
few days ago in Cripple Creek.
The train leaves this city every morn
ing and frequently carries large ship
ments of gold and silver to be used in
paying off the miners at the gold camp.
Information of the intended hold-up was
conveyed to the Wells-Fargo Express
Company's officials, with the result that
when the train left here this morning
heavily armed men were taken into the
express car and hidden. The car is re
ported to have had on board a large
sum of money to be used in paying off
the miners at the Cripple Creek mines.
