Eight Heavy Planks, Loosen- ed While Being Hoisted at New Building, Crash Through Roof of Washing- ton Avenue _ Restaurant Just Before Lunch Hour.

GIRL CASHIER HAS A NARROW ESCAPE

| me Excitement Caused in Neigh- borhood by Report of Building’s Collapse—Men ‘Who Were Drawing Up Planks Are “Sleepy” and Laz”. a nee re Eight heavy planks, each 18 feet long, 2 inches thick and 10 inches wide, fell from a hoisting apparatus at the sev- enth floor of the new Rosenthal-Sloan Building at noon’ Wednesday, and crashed through the roof of John B. Melton’s one-story restaurant, 1722 Washington avenue. William Maloney, a waiter, was, pin: ioned by One of the planks, which broke the floor of the restaurant after strik- ing him on the head. He was removed from beneath the heavy strip of lum- ber, unconscious, and was sent to the city hospital. His condition is criti- cal, ‘Bessie Banks, the cashier, had stepped ti. her desk a few seconds before the crash from a place where, had she re- mained, the falling timber must have struck her. Minnie Dacus, a waitress, near where Maloney stood, and plaster fell about her, but she was unhurt. Customers Escape. Others in the place at the tim@ were élton, thé proprietor, and a half doz- lunch counter eating. Plaster was ecattered on them, but none of them was injured. Maloney was carrying an order to one of the young men when he was struck by the plank. Five minutes later the tables would have been filled with Junchers from the nearby business houses, and a number of fatalities would have beén inevitable. The restaurant was wrecked, and great excitement was caused in the neighbor- hood. Reports spread that a building had collapsed. The planks were being hoisted by a rope tied about their middle. This is a so long as nothing destroys the balance of the planks. in this case, somethiA&g caused the load to tilt and one of the planks slipped out and was followed instantly by the rest. The two men who-were doing the hoisting on the seventh floor quit work for lunch a moment after the accident. When inquiry was made as to their names their fellow workmen said that they were known only by the nicknames of “Lazy” and ‘‘Sleepy.”’ DEATH NOTICE WINS WIFE A DIVORCE In It Her Husband Called An- other Woman His “Be- loved Wife.”’ A divorce was granted to Mrs. Mabel V. Brown by Judge Homer in the Circuit Court Wednesday, when she produced newspaper clippings to show that her huagband, J. Bert Brown, a musician, had acknowledged another woman as his wife. ‘The clippings were notices of the death of Ola Vollrath Brown, described as the “beloved wife of J. Bert Brown." Mrs. Brown testified that her husband deserted her for Olga Vollrath, daughter of Charles and Augusta Vollrath. Though Brown filed the original suit for divorce, he was not in court ft) com- bat his. wife's cross bill. The ‘ourt awarded Mrs. Brown $15 a mont ali- mony to support her and her 9-yeac-old daughter, Grace.

The two men, wearing prison uniforms and with closely clipped, rode in a steel prison regulation float, which was drawn by four horses. The float »ore this inscription: “Local members of the alleged Lum- ber .Trust getting free board.” Chase and Bagg sat on wooden stools. With perspiration rolling down faces, they acknowledged by gestures with palm leaf fans the continuous roar of applause that followed the passage of the float through the crowded streets.

Animal Which Fell Into Prospect Hole Found. Fat, Five Weeks Later. SEATTLE, Wash, July 5.—Led into the forests of San Juan Island by his collie, Thomas Jones, a ranchman, rescued from an abandoned prospect hole a dog which he had searched for more than a month. Although the dog had been impris- oned and forced to stand in two inches of water for five weeks he was fat anu healthy when the owner pulled him out of the 15-foot hole. The dog had been fed by its collie brother. After the first collie disappeared Jones observed that the remaining dog developed what the rancher mistook for a ravenous appetite, consuming almost as much as the two had eaten. One day, as Jones tossed the collie a two-pound bone from which none of the meat had been cut, he noticed that instead of devouring the meat the col- lie took it and trotted off towards the woods. When Jones procured a ladder and descended into the hole he found a pile of bones by the side of the dog at the bottem of the hol.e They had been car- ried to the imprisoned animal by ‘his brother. LICENSE REFUSED FOR CRITIC OF CLAYTON Marriage Applicant Accused of Saying He Coyld Buy Offi- cials for $1. John O’Donald of 3967 St. Ferdinand avenue and Grace Neary of the same address went to the office of Marriage License Clerk Henry Ahlers at Clayton Tuesday. They were old enough to le-

swers to all questions. After Ahlers had made out the Hicense, O’Donald asked that it be kept off of the public records. Ahlers says that when he told O’Don- ald this would be impossible, O’Donald replied: ‘ “Of course you can keep it secret. I can buy any Official in Clayton with a dollar and a glass of beer.”’ Indignant at the imputation, Ahlers tore up the license and ordered O’Don- ald from Nis office. ; COSTS HIM $20 FOR UPHOLDING A ROMEO Prisoner Takes Part of Man Hug- ging a Giri and Is Arrested as “a Butter In.” It is all right for a man to be a peacemaker, according to Judge Kim- mel of the Clark Avenue Police Court, but he should not “but in” to do it. It appeared to the Judge that Edwin H. Belcher butted in when he tried to mediate between.a Forest Park Highlands watchman and a beer drummer who was hugging xu girl and he fined Belcher $10 for dis- turbing the peace and $10 for resist- ing an e@fficer. Belcher was at a table and the drummer and the girl were at another table. The drummer was hugging the girl. The watchman) John Keeton, tald the drummer to quit.

B. Erdhaus Burns After Flaming Brand Falls on Stable Roof.

BRIDE GIVES THE ALARM s Merrymakers at Near-By Resort Watch Great Blaze That Dims Fireworks.

A spectacular fire which destroyed Dr. H. B. Erdhaus’ St. Louis County dwelling and barn Tuesday night af- forded a holiday show for celebrators at Campbell’s Forest Home, a roadhouse 150 feet away. The physician kept a supply of drugs on the second floor, and when the flames were at their height there was a series df sharp explosions, the heat setting off those of the decoctions which were in- flammable. This added to the interest of the Spectacle, and the merrymakers voted it better than the fireworks which Campbell had supplied for them. It was a blazing skyrocket sent up from the resort which set the stable afire. A load of hay had just been put into it, and it sprang almost instantly into flame. “See the fire!’’ a woman at one of the tables cried. . It was a busy night at Campbell's, and nearly every table was taken. At the cry others who had been drinking iff the bar and in private supper rooms went out onto the verandah. Waiters went among them, serving drinks, while the conflagration went on. The spectators watched the fire rise to its crest, until the verandah was al- most as light as day, and then run along a fence to the dwelling, «which afforded a sight even more brilliant. Neighbors who gathere? ennld do noth- ing toward breaking the flames, and fire engines were summoned from St. Louis. Neighbors said Wednesday that the firemen wanted to pump water from a pond on Campbell’s ground, but that he would not permit« them. They lost 20 minutes arguing with him, then ran a line of hose from West End Heights, 200. yards away. It was. then too !ate to save the dwelling. The total loss was estimated at $8000. Mrs. Erdhaus gave the alarm when the barn caught fire, then ran to it and saved three chickens. The heat drove her back, and she was unable to liberate a horse, valued at $300, which was with- in. A carriage also was destroyed. Neighbors poking about in the ruins 12 hours later pushed .the charred top cff the refrigerator and found a round cake of ice within. It seemed the only thing about the place whicn had escaped the flames. Dr. Erdhaus was making professional] calls when the fire broke out, and did not return until after it was over. He has been living there five months, ani recently improved his -home. While Dr. E. C. Chappell and his» fam- ily were absent Tuesday night a paper balloon set fire to an awning on their residence at 63869 Cabanne avenue. The lace curtains and window frame were burned, the damage being estimated at 75. ARTERY BURSTS IN A SHOPPER’S LEG East St. Louis Woman Collapses at Counter—Condition Ser- ious Because of Heat. Mrs. Louise Stibler, 33 years old, wife of Caesar Stibler, 545 North Twenty- third street, East St. Louis, became un- conscious from the bursting of an artery in her left leg as she was shopping in Penny & Gentles’ store Wednesday morning. Policeman ‘Goibor was called in and had her sent to the City Hospital. Her condition was aggravated by the heat and the report from the City Hospital at noon was that her recovery was very improbable. Mrs. Stibler left her home at 9 a. m- to come to St. Louis and buy a suit for her 3-year-old son, Alfred. Her husband was notified by telephone of her con- dition and hurried to the hospital.

OUND--A COOL PLAGE NEAR CITY; MILE UP IN AIR Lahm and Hart, in a Balloon, Discover Temperature of 75 Degrees Above St. Louis.

Lieut, Frank P. Lahm of the United States Signal Corps John . FP; Hart, lieutenant of Signal Corps of the National Guard of Mis- and the Cc é ¢ 00] in the hours p. 8.:30 p. Tuesday St. was sweltering in a temperature that ranged from 100 to $6, Lahm and Hart were resting in a temperature that they estimate at an average of 5 degrees, while for a time they watched a wind and rainstorm play- ing over their heads. Lieutenants Lahm and Hart were up in a balloon from 5:35 p. Mm. to 8:25 p. m. They didn’t get much further away than Granite City, but say they found it cool all the way from 350 to 5900 feet the alr. I 110 at Starting Place. “They told us when we were starting,” said Lieut. Lahm to a Post-Dispatch reporter Wednesday, “that the tempera- ture in the Rutger street gas yards, from which we sailed, was 110 degrees. “Tt surely was hot when we started, but we got away easily over the river and in a few minutes were at a height of 350 feet. It got cooler suddenly up there and we were quite comfortable. In 30 minutes we were 1100 feet in the air. “We were moving slowly toward Ca- seyville, IIL, but we saw a storm com- ing from the east and let the balloon work itself back down to 350 feet. We wanted to get under the storm. The wind caught us, though, and at 8 o’clock had sucked us up to 2200 feet. Fifteen minutes later we were 6900 feet,in the air. But the storm was still Gver us and passed so quickly that we did not get wet. “The wind left us over Horseshoe Lake and apparently drifting back to St. Louis. It was easy fo get back down, as the wind had taken us up far above the natural altitude for the balloon. When we got down to 700 feet we had drifted across the surface of the lake and landed -easily on the Edwardsville road a mile and a half east of East Granite City. “Of course, we didn’t have any breeze. even when we were in the storm, but the air was really cool, particularly after the rain passed over. We had an average tempefature of about 75 degrees. Sun Makes Gas Expand. “The only disagreeable feature was the gas escaping from the appendix. While the sun was up it caused the gas to expand greatly and the odor was dis- agreeable, but it never got nauseating.” Lieut. Lahm leaves St. Louis for Kan- sas City Wednesday night.

i HUSBAND STAYS AND WOES WIFE. WHO OT DIVORCE She Shakes Separation Decree at , Him, He Drops to Floor and, Proposes Marriage.

Mrs. Margaret A. Schuermann of the St. Charles Rock road has a divorce, but she husband from whom she is divorced and she’ doesn’t know what to do with him. She went tc Clayton Tuesday to see her attor- ney, L. G. Peery, about it, but there was nothing that he could do for her. Harry G. Schuermann, the husbapd, pieads* love and the law as his justifi- cation for staying. In the first place, he still loves his wife, never did wan: to be separated from her and has asked her to marry him again. In the second place, his lawyer, State Senator Rollins, also has the has advised him that he has as much right to stay on the fdrm as Mrs. Schuermann has. And for these two reasons he proposes to remain. Mrs. Schuermann obtained a decree from Judge Wurdeman Monday. When she went home and told Schuermann about it, he was all broken up. She says he fell down on his hands and knees and wept and pleaded with her t» marry him again, offering to get her am automobile and a diamond ring if She would, but she told him, it was awfully sudden andsehe was too glad to be free to entertain his proposal, Suggests He Clear Out. She suggested that, inasmuch as he was not her husband any more, it would be a good idea for him to clear out, but he said he was going to stay right there, When she went to Clayton Tuesday, looking for her attorney, she’ said she would be glad to go away if it were not for the seven children. They range ir age from 3 to 17 years, and she.does not like to leave them. She: told her husband, though, she said, that she would go away if he would get some- body to take care of the children. Partition Suit Hope. The only hope for a real separation lies, her attorney told her, in the par- eR suits that have been filed, one by Mrs. Schuermann and one by Schuer- mann. She filed hers as soon as the decree was granted, and he filed one as soon as he knew about the decree be- ing granted. One is in v:dge Wurde- man’s court and the other in Judge McElhinney’s court. The couple have property worth $30,000, con&isting of a li-acre farm on the St. Charles road and improved property in Wellston. Schuermann sued his wife in April for divorce; but said at the time he did not want a divorce and was only suing to keep her from getting all the prop- erty in her name. He alleged that she smoked cigars, chewed coffee beans, carried two revolvers in a belt, made him do his’ own washing, threw h clothing out of the window and threat- ened to kill him. Mrs. Schuermann filed a cross bill In which she alleged that he allowed his mother, Mrs. Sophie Schuermann, to MRS, VANDERBILT IS BY BUNNY PUDDLE DANCE She and C.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 5.—The American today prints the fellowing cablegram from London: Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt vr. ar- rived at Plymouth yesterday under her recently assumed name—Mrs. Vincent— and sailed on to Cherbourg to join Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, her sister, in Paris. Mrs. Vanderbilt treated the Olympic’s passengers to a brilliant display of dan- cing in the ship’s ballroom with C. H. Duell Jr., a son of former Judge Duell, who is a cousin of Elihu Root. On the last night of ths voyage a Fourth of July ball was given for the distinguished women passengers® in- cluding Mra Stuyvesant Fish, Mrs. Henry S. Redmond, Mrs. William Jay, Mrs. Hamilton McK. Twombley and Mrs. James Speyer. Mrs, Fish, who is in mourning, did not enter thé room, but like a schoolgirl, peered through the porthole and watched the proceedings. Mrs. Vanderbilt, attired im purple satin combined with black, made a stunning appearance and danced con- stantly with young Duell. Suddenly the orchestra played ‘“‘Teddy sear.” Pres- ently the floor was cleared and Mrs. Vanderbilt and Duell executed the “Pas Seul,”’ a modified Apache dance, which Mrs. Fish christened “‘The Duell Bunny Cuddle.”’ After the dance had been sustained until the musicians wearied, the lights in the room were suddenly extinguished and the passengers chanted ragtime as the pair danced alone in the darkened room. | Duell was booked to disembark in Fn- giand, while Mrs. Vanderblit was booked to France. During the reluctant food-bys the ship’s lighter lost five min- utes while the passengers fumed and Duell considered altering -his plans and continuing to France. Finally Duell went ashore amid the cheers of the re- maining passengers, who enjoyed his youthful™“and obvious enthusiasm for Mrs. Vanderbilt. FINAL RECIPROCITY VOTE ™. ‘
