PAOE FIVE STAND COLLAPSES IS MEWOTTD MATL TUT BUNT), MF.DFORTl, OKEfiOX. TIIKKIUY. .IULY .". 1021 COMEDIAN WHO THREE BOYS HURT At the end of the fine concert Klven under advrmc circumstances before an audience of several thousand np preeiative Med ford peojde in the city park Kundny night, and just as the hoy a were leaving the temporary stand. in fact must of them had left it, the platform which formed the lower part of the stand collapsed and three of the. smaller boys of the cho rus were caught In the wreckage and sustained bruises about the legs. There was considerable excitement Rt first, as it was thought the tads had sustained broken limbs. 1Mb. Porter and Holt, who were in the au dience, nt once administered first aid nnd pronounced the injuries were only fprains and bruises. However, tho in jured boys were walking around, but lliuping, yesterday morning and de parted with the chorus for Weed. Harry Thornton, aged 9. of Portland was the worst hurt of tho trio and he ' will not be able ' to wear a shoe for several days, so bad Js his sprain. At that, tho accident was fortunate, In that it did not happen when all the boys were seated on the stand, which was flimsily constructed in circus seat fashion at a- rather steep pitch, with the top sent about 20 feet from the ground. The concert was spoiled somewhat through tho fears of Pro fessor Whitney and 125 boys, ranging in years from 5 to 20 years that the uland would collapse. In fact, when just before the con cert the chorus had been sealed on Ihe stand it began to move sideways n little. Prof. Whitney at once ad monished the youths to be calm and move off the stand slowly and delibe rately. . They obeyed, and the leader then called for volunteers in the au dience to brace the stand so as to make it safe. This was done, con siderably delaying . the concert. When the chorus again cautiously mounted the stand and had been seat ed Mr. Whitney cautioned each of the boys to keep his feet solid on the seat in front of him, so in case the stand did collapse their legs would not he caught beneath the planks. The chorus and leader were at a disadvantage because of fear of the safety of the structure, and the boys remained seated all during the con cert, sinking in a cramped position. However, their concert was splendid, nnd considering its worth under the adverse circumstances one can imag ine what it would have been had the minds of the singers been more free from worry and their lungs had had more play. ; Finally Prof. Whitney announced that ho would shorten the concert, as ho was so worried because of his re sponsibility for.' tho safety of the boys, und therefore the next number would bo tho last. This nutnbor, "Come Where the Lilies Illoom," was one uf tho best of tho concort, which was composed mostly" of hymns and "re ligious music. Tho usual program of tho chorus is a varied one with a ji umber of clever stunts. The Whitney Boy's chorus 1b en route on a concert tour through Cali fornia, traveling in fivo biff motor busses, ono private car and one motor truck. During their stay In tho city they wero entertained at private homes.- The chorus nnd leader left Monday morning at S o'clock for Weed, the scene of their next con cert. Tho majority of the boys are from Portland, and a few of their number are from Seattle. BEATEN BY THYE, TWO FALLS T01 Ihtlph W.
