ment with American shipbuilders and
individual claimants. Tho point is,
after all, to havo tho claims paid and
the stato department officials are not
particular aa to tho form in which tho
paymonts nro paid. Perhaps thoy nro
indifferent In this rcsncct because of
knowledge of tho fact that Uio Turk
ish government might bo terribly em
barrassed by tho proBsuro of Euro

government to Insist upon certain
forms of proenduro in this case.
There aro no developments In tho ne

Tho victims wero watching tho foot
ball gamo between the Stanford and
University of California tenms when
tho roof beneath them gavo way, pre
cipitating thom to tho floor of tho fac
tory. Some of thom fell upon tho fur
naces and ono man of unknown iden
tity was burned almost to n crisp. Tho
crash of tho falling roof was heard
a great dlstanco away and thousands
of people hurried to tho scene. Mes
sages wero sent to tho city receiving
hospital and tho morgue nnd all the
avallablo ambulnnces wero hurried to
tho spot.
At tho Central receiving hospital at
1 o'clock flvo of tho Injured had been
received. At tho time of tho accident
thoro was but ono doctor on duty at
tho hospital and ho was totally unablo
to attend tho cases at they camo In. A
summons was sent out Immediately
calling upon doctors in tho neighbor
hood to como and rondor assistance.
Owing to tho confusion existing nt
that tlmo tho namo of but ono of tho
Injured hns been learned. That one
was Al Essmann, who wna frightfully
cut about tho head and face.
The crowd was gathered upon tho
roof of a building directly over tho

nearly all of thom sorlously. Seven

Thoro woro at least 200 peoplo on
tho roof when It collapscd,and of these
at loast sixty went down. Thoso who
woro fortunate enough to bo on a solid
section of tho building scurried ddwri
and helped remove tho injured. Tho
heat around tho furnaces was so great,
howovor, thnt to many no assistance
could bo rendered and they Blowly
roasted to death. Not 200 yards away
woro 20,000 peoplo watching tho foot
ball gamo and when tho news became
known thero was lntonso excitement
among them. Tho ushers went through
tho crowd calling for doctors nnd
many surgeons hurriedly loft the
game. Tho living victims from tho
disaster woro taken to various hospi
tals. Tho Southern Pacific hospital,
within two blocks of tho glass works,
was soon overcrowded nnd many
wounded had to bo turned away.
Thoy woro hurried to St. Luke's, the
city revolving hospital and nearby
drugstores. So scattered nro they
among tho various institutions that it
is impossible to toll exactly how many
wero hurt or how seriously thoy wero
Injured.
Tho coroner did not havo enough
wagons to r.omovo tho dead and they
woro takon away In express wagons.
Mnny elegant prlvnto carriages woro
waiting outsldo tho foot ball grounds
and they wero pressed Into sorvlco to
tako nwny tho wounded. A high fonce
surrounds tho glnss works grounds
and thousands of peoplo attempted to

Was Agreed at Pokln.
POWERS MAY MODIfY OR REJECT
Meanwhile, tho American Consuls Aro
Collecting itatnnges for MUalont by
Lets Diplomatic, but by Moro Direct
Methods,
WASHINGTON.' NOV.; 20.:-Ihe stato
department cabled Minister Conger ti
forward ,thp ttxjt ot ' the agreement
reached' by tho ioreign ministers at
Pokln. Mcanwhilo ho will wlthhourhls
signature until the president has had
an opportunity to satisfy himself ns
to this Important document and to
make such changes as will bring it In
accord with our policy. It is safo to
predict that this particular ngroomont
will not -become effective in its pros
ent shape. It appears that upon inquiry
directed to tho powers themselves their
ministers at Pekin have not correctly
reflected their present views as to tho
basis of' the peace negotiations. This
statement ccrtainlv is tme ns to a ma
jority of tho powers.lntorcste'd, and tho
fact is regarded aa warranting the pre
diction that tho agreement must be
modified or abandoned.
It Is learned nt tho state depart
ment that whilo thoso negotiations aro
dragging nlone at Pekin somo of tho
American consuls In China aro achiev
ing gool results by Individual efforts.
Thoy aro Interesting thomsolvcs In
cases' appealing directly to tho viceroys
of tho 'great provinces, whoro American
property and missionaries havo Buffer
ed, to procuro Indomnlty and repara
tion, and in most cases thoy aro suc
ceeding very well. II Is surmised from
tho latest Chlneso advices that tho
English consuls aro doing likewise, nnd
aro collecting many claims, and. tho
money&.aro-uelng .turned over tothe
mission interests -wfiloh ' suffered. It
this movement continues Jt Is entirely
possible that nelthor the United States
norOreat Britain will bo obliged to
concern 'tiremselvcs" with tho prosecu
tion of individual claims for Indemnity
through tho slow moving agencies, at
Pokln.

When tho robbers discharged their

drilling Into tho vault door, making
ready a second blast, Whon tho fuso
was lighted tho robbors stopped outside
nnd loft Alberts lying in tho corner
when it went off. 'He was not seriously
Injured, however. The second blast un
hinged the doors and tho: robbers mado
off -with all tho cash. Securing a hand
car, they pulled In tho direction of tho
Delavan. There they were met by Night
Patrolman Sanford, who attempted to
nrrest them. Ono ot thq robbors fired
and Sanford fell, mortally wounded
through the body. Outsldo tho town
tho men boarded a passenger, train on
tho Chlcngo & Alton. All traces of them
woro lost. Tho engineer ot tho passen
ger train claims that he saw a man
Jump from tho first car. near Mlnler,
whllo tho train wa3 moving at a high
speed, but a search s.of tho locality
failed to show anv'traces of tho man.
