A church bell sounded in a steeple does not attract attention because people have become accustome to it. We do not use church bells. In- stead we pound a drum on the street corner and people wonder what on earth the noise is about. That is just what we want. If we announced that the army would have its annual series of re- vival meetings no one would pay any attention to us. ; We call our revival the Red Cru- sade, and people ask at once what | the Red Crusade is. We attract the attention of. thou- sands who are always ready to ask, “Why? 6 @ Commander Booth-Tucker of tha Salva- tion Army arrived in St. Louis Thursday mornirg.

After his evening lecture he will leave for Littie Ruck, Ark. Thursday morning he conducted a meet- ing of Salvationists at the army hcadquart- ere @t 1411 Franklin avenue.

Councilman Oharles Kratz Thursday ap- pealed to the Circuit Court to protoect him from the effects of alleged fraud at the re- cent primary in the Tenth Ward. Mr. Kratz does not appear in the suit as the plaintiff. He is represented in this capacity by F. W. Clemens, his lleutenant, whose name was scratched from 145 ballots. Mr. Clemens’ suit takes the form of a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the Board of Eelection Commissioners to issue to him a certificate of election as a delegate to the Republican State Conven- tion and to vacate and annul the certificate already issued to Frank Warner, whcse name was substituted for Clemens’ on the 145 scratched ballots. As an earnest of the fact that he means business, Mr. Kratz stated that he would also apply to Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Jonnson for warrants against those whom he charges with committing the frauds. He has retgined ex-Judge Thomas M. Harvey to represent him in the criminal procedure, while Attorneys T. T. Fauntle. Charles A. Hauts represent him in the civil action.

PITTSBURG, Pa., April 12.—A four-story brick building on the corner of Wood street and Second avenue, occupied by Armstrong, McKelvy & Co., wholesale paint dealers, collapsed shartly before 10 o'clock this morning. A score or more people were in the build- ing at the time and many, it is feared, were buried in the ruins. A hundred men were soon tearing away at the debris striving to release the buried men and to get out the dead bodies. It is believed that not one person in the building escaped, unless one or two on the top floor may have escaped being crushed to death. The building fell without warning and col- lapsed, the fall being out toward Third avenue, blocking up the street. A policeman turned in an alarm of fire and in a minute the firemen and the police were at. work at the debris. The building was being remodeled and the center wall had been taken out. It is sup- posed the weight of the stock piled on the upper floors was too great for the weakened timbers. The building extended back about 60 feet on Third avenue. One-half of it col- lapsed. Three injured and one dead had been taken out at 10:30 o’clock. The dead body was recognized as that of a carpenter, whose name is unknown. Two others. who can be seen, but have not been reached, are believed to be dead. They are Eugene Bernhardt and a boy. At least 25 more are believed to be still in the ruins. At noon two dead bodies had been recov- ered and three persons taken out alive. The dead are: Oscar Bingham, a carpen- ter, and Eugene C. Bernhardt, a salesmon. Two of the injured were not seriously hurt. The other, Noel Casper, an employe, of them. Pposed is dead. added the menace of fire, as the stock care ried by the firm consisted largely of ins flammable paints, oils and varnishes. 7 Thin wreaths of smoke commenced to curl up from the ruins before the dust clouds caused by the falling walls had settled, These the firemen gave their close atten- tion, but an explosion is feared at any time, While the rescuers were at work a por- tion of the third floor fell in, burying five They were quickly taken ott - and were not seriously injured. The disaster involved the entire front of the butiding but fortunately the greater number of the imprisoned employes were In the rear of the buliding and escaped with slight Injuries or none at all. It ts certain that two clerks were caught In the wreck and at least two customers were also imprisoned. In addition five carpenters were at work remodelling the interior of the storerooma, and of these but one had been accounted for. He was Harry, Bowles and was work- ing in the office in the rear of the builld- ing. He made a thrilling escape | a window with Miss Annie Stewart, the stenographer for the company, in his arms, Only one dead body and three injured per- sons have so far been taken from the ruins, The dead body was identified as that of Oscar Bigel, a carpenter. . Eugene C.- Bernhardt, «@ salesman, fs known to be in the wreck, and it Is .sup. The injured taken out are: Noel Casper; injured internally; Michael Shang, leg bro- ken and injured internally; unknown man, unconscious and in a serioug condition. The cause of the accident is ascribed to the weakening of the building by the re- moval of a partition separating the room. formerly occupied by the company from one which had just been leased. The walis fell in from each side toward the center of the building, and as the carpenters were at work in the middle of the building it & feared they were all buried . . The front of the building was merely & mass of wrecked brick, mortar and wood- work. The rear remained standing, but the walls were visibly swaying and occasional- “ was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital. The number still In the ruins is variously estimated at from 10 ta 3B. A few minutes before the collapse it Is said that at least a dozen people were in the front part of the bul'ding, Including sev- eral customers. These have not yet been ac- counted: for. Over 100 firemen and volunteers tmme- diately began work on the ruins, heedless of the tottering walls that imperiled their lives.
