Y. The middle section of the big department store of the John G. Myers company in North Pearl street collapsed early Tuesday, carrying down with it over 100 per- sona Caught in a chaos of brick, plaster and wooden beams, between twenty and thirty men, women and children met death. Twelve hours' frantic work on the part of an army of rescuers disentangled fifty people, six of them dead and many of the rest badly Injured. The collapse came shortly after the opening hour, when barely a score of shoppers were in the store. A clock found in the debris had stopped at 12 minutes before 9 o'clock showing when the crash came. The best accounts of the event that probably caused the ruin is given by the head of the crockery, glass and drug department, which occupies the basement. The workmen were sawing at a wooden floor beam," said he, "which runs under the northern end of the pillars in the middle of the store. Excavation for the cellar 'was going on about the base of this pillar, and I believe that Jarring of the beam beneath it displaced the foundation of the pillar." The pillar which gave way supported the ends of two giant girders and when it fell, the main support of the central part of the building was gone. With a noise that could be heard blocks away and which shook the adjoining buildings, nearly half the great structure from cellar to roof and extending from one sidewalk to the other came grinding down. When the fire department arrrlved they had plenty to do in rescuing those who were pinned under the top wreckage. In a short time the city's entire hospital and ambulnnce force was on the scene, aided by half a hundred doctors from all parts of the city. 3 s, RUSSIANS AND JAPS CLASP HANDS Oyster Ray.

The ship was listing badly and threatened momentarily to plunge into the sea. The Japanese were forced to draw off and the captain went below, to there meet his death. Suddenly the ship went down and our men thought the gallant officer was drowned. But providence willed otherwise. We found Ihe captain and navigator In the water locked in each other's arms. They had embraced at what they thought was the moment of death and were partly unconscious when we rescued them." f.
