TWO BOYS SAVE MANY LIVES Warned by Ominous Creakings They Rush Through Structure and Arouse Sleeping Occupants, Who Escape Just Before Crash Occurs. New York, June 26.—Seven persons, six of them members of one Italian family, were killed in the-collapse of a ramshackle tenement in the down town Itallan quarter. Three other members of the same.family, includ- ing the father and mother, are in'a hospital painfully injured, but will re- cover. i There ‘were some exciting scenes immediately following the .accident, one of which was the rescue of an old man from a two-foot ledge forty feet from the ground, this.portion of the fallen building having adhered to the. adjoining structure ‘long enough to permit the firemen to get to the scene, raise a ladder and take the man, Jacob. Reigler, safely to the ground. Then it also fell into the ruins. The collapsed building was a four- story affair, built over fifty years ago and was located at the corner of ‘Walker and Lafayette streets. It be- longed to the Mose Taylor estate and for some days has been in a dangerous condition because of excavations for 2 neW building on the adjoining prem- ises. It had been shored up, but the Rumbling of Subway Trains a block away was too much. for it in its weakened- condition and it fell in ‘finally. Most of the tenants, warned by the ominous creaking, fled the building a few minutes before it col- lapsed. The dead were buried under tons of debris and it was not until the fire- men and volunteers had worked- for four hours that their bodies were re- covered. George Blumenthal, the contractor who had charge of the recent repairs and shoring up of the building, was arrested charged with homicide. That many more persons did not lose thelr lives in the collapse of the old building was due to two of the younger occupants of the house hav- ing attended an Italian celebration. The boys reached home shortly before 2 a. m. and, warned by the severe shaking and creaking of the house, ran through the building and warned the sleeping tenants of impending danger. Dozens of persons ran into the streets in_their night clothes and many of them had scarcely gained the street before the crash came. LIGHTNING FATAL TO TWO Mother and Son Instantly Killed at St. Paul. St. Paul, June 26.—Mrs. Clara N. Lemon and her fourteen-year-old son Clarence were killed instantly by lightning in the yard in the rear of their home on the outskirts of this city. Another son, aged eight years, who was standing near his mother and brother, escaped without injury. Mrs. Lemon had been cleaning house. Fearing rain from the lower- ing clouds she had hastened into the vard to remove a carpet from a clothesline. The carpet had been thrown over two wires about five feet apart, which stretched from two oak trees to a corner of the house. The two children were playing un- der the tent like covering which the carpet made. The mother called to the boys to assist her and they had just responded to her call when the fatal bolt descended. Mrs. Lemon was standing near a tree and under the clothesline. Clar- ence was a few feet away and under the same wire. The younger son stood six or eight feet to one side. The lightning struck the trees to which the clotheslines were attached and the current was transmitted from the wires to the mother and elder son. OFFERS TO DIE FOR BROTHER Colored Preacher Would Take Place of Condemned Man., Montgomery, Ala., June 26.—John Beeman, a negro preacher, has made application of the jailer to be allowed to die on the gallows for his brother, David Beeman, the date of execution being fuly 26. The preagher says he will go to heaven and his brother, be- ing a bad man, might not. His sacri- fice would have a tendency to convert his brother and both would thus get to heaven. The offer of the negro has caused a wave of sympathy for both him and the condemned man and a petition is being ecirculated asking the governor to.commate the sentence. SITUATION DISQUIETING. Central American Countries Prepare for Hostilities. Washington, June 26.—The state de- partment has received a cablegram from the American minister at Guate- mala City stating that the situation in Salvador is disquieting; that Guate- mala and Salvador are sending troops to the frontier.

Reply Sent to Funston’s “Unwhipped Mob” Letter, San Francisco, June 26.—The Fourth of July committee, after a two-hour session, drafted a reply to General Funsten in which the latter’s intima- tion that United States troops would not be safe from insult in the streets of San Francisco was repudiated and Health Insurance at little cost $1.000.00 == anyone all states.

He declared that the expmes- sfon “as yet unwhipped mob” was in- tended to apply to a certain lawless element in the community and not to the committee. He closed by offering troops for a parade on July 4, with the statement that it was up to the peo- ple of San Francisco to deal with any disorder that may occur. The committee in its reply. stated that it did not take the general’s ex- pression as a personal insult, but stig- matized as unjust the accusation that Tnited States troops would be unsafe in San Francisco streets. RUNAWAY FREIGHT CARS KILL Fatal Accident in Union Depot Yards v at St. Paul. St. Paul, June 26.—The mad run- away of ceven freight cars, ending in a hair raising wreck in the Union de- pot-yards, resuited in the instant death of a switchman, Adelbert Soper, and the serious injury of an_engineer, George R.
