Although nvy father had nothing- to do with the management of the hotel so far aa the guests were concerned, I know that be will regret the accident exceedingly. "I do not know the cause of the ac cident and understand that It will be Investigated by a committee of architects- Until after they make a report It would be foolish to e peculate as to i, the cause of the mishap." " Some of the dispatches in telling of 'Ml recent disaster of the Blxby hotel, . which suddenly collapsed at Long Beach, California, last Friday aald that the construction waa of reinforced con crete. But according to architects and other reliable authority here the hotel was not of reinforced concrete but waa constructed of iron, steel and tile floor ing. The columns were veneered In con crete for fire protection-only. . . ,.,, A BIG PURCHASE sTatha ' k WerUielmer, Xannfaetnrera : and Wkolisals Olothlers, Have Sold Oa-e) the.
