Commits Suicide The architect of the bullding was reported to have committed suicide on the spot when he saw the dis- aster. Three bullding inspectors were among those burled in the ruins, Frenzied cries of relatives of the missing added to the horror of the scene as rescue workers labored frantically through the night under the beams of searchlights, City en- #ineers directed the workers in tun- nelling into the wreckage through the wall of an adjoiyimg b ilding. Horrible Incidents There were seferal horrible incis dents, a3 when a woman found in the ryins the severed head of her husband and police had to take it away from her by force. The populace of the vicinity was terrified by the collapse, which oc- curred at a time when the business streets were thronged. There were tremendous detonations from falling girders and hundreds of tons of ma- sonry. The~whoale neighborhood was obscured by a dense cloud of dust. Entering Consulate Arthur C. Frost, the American consul general, was entering the consulate, which is within a few yards of the collapsed building, when he was startled by .he thun- derous roar of the falling building. The consulate narrowly escaped damage from falling girders as did the offices of the Oldsmobile Motor company and the Young Men's Christian association building which are nearby. Government authorities attributed the collapse to defective cement and |hasty and faulty construction. The | contractor had pledged himself to |vay a fine for each day beyond |January 1 that the building remain- led uncompleted and ke had given orders to speed up the work in an effort to avoid such penalties. Both chambers of parliament suspended their sittings and with |the cabinet the entire membership | | hastened to where the rescue work | was under way. \WESLEYAN'S “LAB" 10 | BE DEDICATED FRIDAY| Building .
