LONG REACH. CAL., May 24.—
Five hundred persons were hurled to
the beach this afternoon, 42 were
killed and more than 150 injured,
when the stage of the Municipal Au
ditorium, a part of the Municipal pier
extending over the ocean, collapsed.
The accident occurred during the
celebration of Empire Day, Queen-
Victoria’s birthday. Fully 20,000 for
mer subjects of the British Empire
had assembled at Long Beach for the
celebration.
The ceremonies were taking place
on the pier and in the auditorium.
Five hundred persons had been seated
on the stage, when the structure gave
way.
Piled Among Wreckage.
Those seated on the stage were
piled in a mass of wreckage at the
very edge of the ocean itself. First
reports that reached the downtown
sections here said that the crowd*
had bten hurled into the water. When
the rescuers from the city reached the
scene they found the injured huddled
in a tangled mass, the spectators
crowding about trying to render aid.
Work of removing the injured was
at once begun. Every physician and
nurse was sent to the scene and
others from nearby cities summoned.
A special train carrying physicians
and nurses was rushed here from Los
Angeles at the behest of Mayor Alex
ander there. , 4
The injured were'removed to the
shelter of cafes, along the beach The
dead were laid in rows on the sands.
Forty-two bodies were removed from
the debris. Many of the injured are
so seriously hurt that they will die.

NEW YORK, May 24.—Maurice
ton W. Gibson, the New York lawyer
on trial here on the charge of drown
ing Rosa Menschnik Szabo in Green
wood Lake July 16 last to secure her

collapse when led into court to-day.
He had refused to eat any break
fast.
The big part that Mrs. Gibson play
ed In the defense of her husband be
comes more and more apparent. Gib
son has been very down-hearted since
she was removed from his side at the
beginning of the second trial yester
day.
There are more women spectators
at the trial than men.

KILLED
CALGARY. ALBERTA. May 24.—
One minute and forty-five seconds
after Luther McCarty and Arthur
Pelky -met in the prize ring this aft
ernoon, Pelky landed a right-hand
punch squarely over the .big cow
boy’s heart. Thirty minutes later
the former heavyweight white cham
pion of the world was dead.
For the first few seconds the fight
was on even terms. The men went
at it carefully, fueling each other
- •- -
Pelky saw his chance. He threw
all his force into a right-handed
swing. It landed square. McCarty
crumpled up. His arms fell limp to
his sides, he reeled and fell back
ward.
The referee tolled out the count.
Met’arty wu unconscious before ten
was pronounced. His body heaved,
then became rigid.
Physician^ fwere hustled into the
ring. They worked over the giant
fighter, hut as they worked his face
took on a strange black tinge. Thir
ty minutes after the blow was struck
the physicians summoned to the
ringside, pronounced the fighter
dead.
An ambulance was hastily sum
moned. It clanged to the ring, three
miles from the city proper. McCar
ty’s condition from the beginning
evidently was too serious to ever re
move him from the resin covered
canvas which where he l.ay.
The ring officials remained at the
arena while the physicians worked.
Most of the spectators sat quietly
in their places watching quietly the
efforts to resuscitate McCarty.
When it was finally officially an
nounced that McCarty was dead, the
crowd filed slowly out of the arena.
Weak Heart Blamed.
McCarty’s death was said by phy
sicians to have been due to a weak
heart and the excitement superin
duced by the fight fully as much as
by the blow itself. An examination
to determine whether the blow
caused an internal hemorrhage was
decided on.
McCarty and Pelky both seemed
cool and confident when they entered
the ring. They shook hands smiling
ly at the behest of Referee Ed W.
Bmlth, Qien posed for photographs.
Pelky was sure of himself, appar
ently. He began using a left jab
to the face. He landed three straight
lefts on McCarty. McCarty tried
rushing tactics. Pelky met him with
a stiff left to the jaw and a right two
inches below the heart.
The right landed with stinging ef
fect. McCarty wavered and stag
gered. then flopped over on his back
The blow, though a. hard one. was
not delivered with the full power of
the fighter, and Pelky stepped back,
apparently ready to resume the fight.
He seemed surprised when his big
adversary failed to rise as Referee
Smith began the count
Pelky Placed Under Arrest.
Before ten had been counted Mc
Carty was evidently in a serious con
dition and his manager stepped to the
ropes and shouted a summons f<> r *
doctor. Doctors in the audience at
once responded and they began ef
forts to restore McCarty. Artificial
respiration was resorted to. but it had
no effect and strong stimulants were
used to produce a reaction in the
heart. McCarty was evidently fail
ing rapidly and as the doctors worked
It was evident that their hopes of
reviving the big fellow were lessened.
After 26 minutes of effort the phy
sicians suspended their work and
whispered together. Then they made
tests to determine whether the fighter
was still alive. A brief announce
ment from the ring was made, stating
that he was dead.
A policeman entered the ling and
arrested Pelky. who had watched the
stupefied by the tragedy.

Rents in Washington
Dismay Marshall
WASHINGTON, May 24. We
won’t pay more ttmn $2,000 a year
rent.” (Signed) Vice /’resident Mar
shall, Secretary of Labor Wilson and
Secretary of the S’ary Daniels.
“Abauh-h-d! It ean’t be done.”—
(Signed) Washington society.
“The proper rental for a Cabinet
member's hum. is to $12,000 n
year." (Signed} Wash ingtnn real
estate men.
With the reeord standing thus the
new olfibutls of the nation go on
looking for reasonably priced houses,
and society and the rent agents go
on being shocked. L,
Sensational dictograph conversa
tions. In which Mayor James G.
Woodward, Charles (’. Jones, fnrmer
Tenderloin proprietor and present
owner of the Rex saleon; E. O. Miles,
a private detective; A. S. Coiyar, ac
cuser of Colonel T. B. Felder, and
Chief Lanford's clerk. February, all
figure, are made public by The At
lanta Georgian to-da>.
The conversations, all reported by
a dictograph Installed in the Williams
JTouse, in the same room and by the
same man who figured 1n the ’ trap
ping" of Felder, tend to throw new
and startling light on the alleged plot
to "get’’ Chief of Police James L.
Beavers, who wiped out the Tender
loin, and Chief of Detectives Lan-
ford.
As reported by George M. Gentry,
who took down the conversation ax
It trickled over the thin spun wires#
through the door between Colyar’s
room, No. 31, and room No. 32, it Ite
apparently made clear that the Mdy-
or was not only after evidenedwof i
graft in the , police '^department, ttlit
more directly after evidence on which
Chief Beavers could be impeached
and discharged. The Mayor has
never hesitated to make plain that
he was not in sympathy with tte
chief’s attitude-. ' *
The conversation in which :
Mayor figured seems to »how tliat \
he promised ‘protection to the ifian
who would get the evidence if be
should get in trouble doing it, and
that he gave assurances the work
would be well paid for.
The Mayor was present at the con
ference with February, Coiyar and
Miles. The entire dictograph con
versation in which he figured is given
elsewhere.
Far more sensational is the con
versation in which Jones, Miles and
Coiyar took part. Jpn4s viciously at
tacked the police department, charg
ing graft and crookedness; accused
Marion Jackson, Men and Religion
Forw r ard Movement leader, of being
the beneficiary of vice, and said he
had been double-crossed in the wip
ing out of the Tenderloin.
Colonel Felder’s name is men
tioned time and again in the con
versation of the three, and more than
one reference is made to the alleged
offer of $1,000 for evidence.
Here is the entire dictograph con
versation in which A^ayor James G.
Woodward took a part as it was
reported to the police. A copy is in
the police files to-day.
A. S. Coiyar, the man who engi
neered the entire sensation, of course,
take a leading part. The conversa
tion is first principally between him
and Chief Lanford’s clerk, February,
and E. O. Miles, a private investiga
tor. and a friend of Charles C. Jones,
who comes later into the conversa
tion.
Jones owned a number of houses
in the restricted district closed up by
Chief Beavers, which were conserva
tively estimated to have given him an
income of $40,000 a y«ar. He is the
owner of the Rex saloon, and is by
no means poverty stricken, despite
the huge dent Chief Beavers’ reform
made in his roll.
Mayor James G. Woodward, w'hoi
has never hesitated to let it be
known that he was not in sympathy
with the Chief’s vice crusade, comes
into the conversation later and is re*
ported in full. i
