Twenty-lira men were plunged to their death when the central span of the big 17. 000,000 cantilever Quebec bridge over the St. Lawrence river collapsed today Just as it was oelng swung into place, marking what would hare been the final work on one of the greatest engineering feats in the world. Thousands of persons who bad come to witness the spectacle of the. completion of the bridge, including cabinet and parliament members and engineers, saw the accident First reports were that the entire force of 90 men who were on the bridge had perished. . The St Law rence Bridge company, contractors for the structure, announced, how ever that their latest estimate show ed 25 to have been killed. Only five or six survivors of those who were plunged into the river were picked up. The big span, which ibuckled and then collapsed weighed 5,000 tons. It was floated down on barges, while thousands in boats of every descrip was at its height when the accident Steamboat whistles were tooting and the enthusiasm of the great crowd was at Its height when the accident occurred. The span had been hoist ed out 15 reet when one corner or the span was seen to te higher than the other. The supporting jack on the lower end then gave way, the span broke in the center and with steel girders snapping with reports like rifle shots the structure plunged Into the water. v The crowds looked on, dumb with amazement, as the great steel span dived out of sight It carried with it a small portion of the south can tlllver arm. Four or five men work ing onjtop of the span were hurled into the water. The rest were car ried down. The fleet of launches and tugs nearby hurried forward, but succeeded in rescuing few. The big span sank In two hundred feet of water, disappearing com pletely. In 1907 a section of the bridge col lapsed as it was nearing completion, killing 75 men. " Continued on Page 2. LAND DISTRIBUTION TO SETTLE PROBLEM New London, Conn., Sept. 11. Re distribution of lands, through a tax ation scheme, which will break up large holdings, was a suggestion for solution of Mexico's Internal prob lems which the Mexican commission ers outlined to the Americans In the "peace conference" today. The Carranaa envoys urged their plan as a hopeful sign of regenera tion and argued It would help aid the nation of the scourge of banditry and lessen the need for military protec tion of the border.' ' Through land distribution and no other means, It Is argued, peace and plenty can be re stored the southern republic, Progress toward troops withdrawal was made In today's session but It seems likely several. more meetings' will be required before the conferees can report to their governmnta , any definite recommendations regarding their plan.
