the news of the disaster spread the

In a short time after the accident
II crowd of thousands of people had

The street was filled with debris.

the car and as the bodies of the dead
were removed from the wreckage the
women in the crowd of onlookers be-
came hysterical.
As the wreck happened at an hour
when the thousands of oiiicc and shop
workers were hurrying down town, the
block on the elevated which ensued
caused a crush at all the uptown cle‘
valcd stations before the news became
circula ed. that the road was tied up.
Then t are was a rush for Ihc..sub-
