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 j celebration of Empire Day, Queen ! Victoria’s birthday. Fully 20,000 for- I mer subjects of the British Empin had assembled at Long Beach for the celebration. The ceremonies were taking place on the pier., and in the audit Tiiim. I Five hundred persflns 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 ono£ befcun. Evfery physician and nurse wrs 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. The injured were removed to the shelter of cafes along the beach. The dead were laid in row's on the sands. Forty-two bodies were removed from the debriv. Many of the injured are so seriously hurt that they will die. Fell More Than 40 Feet. The auditorium occupied a second story of the pier structure. The plat form, w ith its load of people, crashed to the floor below and carried it to the sands. The fall was more' than 40 feet. Thousands were standing outside the auditorium when the crash came. The exercises of the day had begun with a parade through the streets It had just reached the pier, where the spectators had assembled, when the accident happened. When the doors of the auditorium were thrown open and the waiting throngs started in, the sudden weight of people was too much for the floor, and it gave way. A space 40 by 60 feet sank beneath the crowd. Pplice and firemen w r ere summoned from Long Beach and were the first to begin the work of rescue. Late this afternoon it was reported that the death list might reach 50. and that more than 200 had been se verely Injured. 1,000 Crossties Burn.

ALBERTA, May 24.— One minute and forty-five seconds after Luther McCarty and Arthur Pelkv 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 fighi was on even terms. The men went at it carefully, feeling each other out. Pelky saw his chance. He threw all his force into a right-handed sif'frrg. It' lahdM-square. MATVrtf crumpled up. His arms fell limp to his sides, he reeled and fell back ward. The referee tolled out the count. McCarty was unconscious before ten was pronounced. His body heaved, then became rigid. Physicians were hustled into the ring. They worked over the giant fighter, but as they worked his face took on a strange black tinge. Thir ty minutes after the blow’ was struck the physicians summoned to th4 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 lay. 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 aren-i. 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 Pelkv both seemed cool and confident when they entered the ring. They shook hands smiling ly at the behest of Referee Ed W. Smith, then 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 trie-J 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 bacx 4The blow, though a hard one, w'as not delivered with the full power >f the fighter, and Pelky stepped back, apparently ready to resume the fight. He seemed surprised when his big adversary failed to rise a? 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 for a doctor. Doctors in the audience at once responded and they began ef forts to restore McCarty. Artificial respiration was resorted to. but it hail 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 25 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 be was dead A policeman entered the ring and arrested Pelky. w ho had W4t< bed the FIRST GAME.

Jones, former Tenderloin proprietor and present owner of the Rex saloon; E. O. Miles, a private detective; A. S. Colyar, ac cuser of Colonel T. B. Felder, and Chief Lanford’s clerk. February, all figure, are made public by The At lanta Georgian to-day. The conversations, all reported by a dictograph installed in the Williams House, in the same room and by the same man who figured in the ''trap ping' - of Felder, fend 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 as it. trickled over the thin spun wires through the door between Colyar’s room, No. 31. and room No. 32, it is apparently made clear that the May or was not only after evidence of graft in the police department, but more directly after evidence on which Chief Beavers could be impeached and discharged. The Mayor has never hesitated to make plain that he was hoi in sympathy with the chief’s attitude. The conversation in which the Mayor figured seems to show that he promised protection to the man who would get the evidence if he 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, Colyar 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 Colyar took part. Jones viciously at tacked the police department, charg ing graft and crookedness; accused Marion Jackson. Men and Religion Forward 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 $l.ooa for evidence. Here is the entire dictograph con versation in which Mayor James G. Woodward took a part as it was reported to the police. A copy is in the police files to-day. A. S. Colyar, 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 Reavers, which were conserva tively estimated to have given him an income of $40,000 a year. 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, who has hesitated to let it be known that he was not in sympathy ■with the Chiefs vice crusade, comes into the conversation later and is re ported in full. —
