COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. 5.—
Scores of people were injured and a
number seriously hurt, several of
whom may die, whoa a four hundred
foot section of the bleachers of the
arena in which was being held the
-Welch tight for tho lightweight
i hainpionthip yesterday suddenly col
lapse ), mu iing over four hundred peo
ple to the ground twenty or more feet
below and piling them up in a heap
beneath a tangle of wreckage from the
shattered structure.
Following the crash a panic ensued
and many other persons were tramp
led upon by the frantic crowd in its
efforts to escape from a similar fate.
For a while pandemonium reigned and
the arena was tilled with a frenzied
mob of panic strlken people who feared
that the whole structure was about to
collapse.
Order was finally restored and the
tight proceeded while the police otfi- j
cials gathered up the wounded and ]
hurried them off to ffio” hospital.
About seventy persons were taken |
care of at the hospital but at least
one hundred and fifty were caught in
the wreck, receiving injuries of a
minor nature. Four of the victims are
not expected to survive.
The tight was a rather tame affair
although at one time White was with
in an ace of winning the championship.
Honors were fairly even until the
thirteenth round when a rapid inter
change of blows resulted in the En
glishman leaving his opponent an
opening and a moment later Welch
was staggering and bleeding badly from
a terrific swing which landed flush on
e side of his jaw.'
He managed to cover up, however,
and wore through the round after a
remarkable display of recuperative
powers.
in the opinion of the old time ring
sters, Welsh has gone back badly and
but for his remarkable ability at pro
tecting himself would have been eas
ily beaten by his younger opponent.

Mr. Dave Dunbar has received a
circular letter to the paper trade de
tailing some of the numerous reasons
why the price of paper Is high and
why it may go considerably higher:
The reason why the commodity is
high is aptly represented in a table
showing the prices of the various nut
trials and chemicals employed in mak
ing as listed last year and at present.
For instances, the price of bleached
sulphite (wood fiber) was $2.65 per
hundred weight Inst year but is now
worth about $8, an increase of two
hundred per cent; bleaching powder,
was 2 1-2 cents per pound, now five,
an increase of one hundred per cent;
soda ash, another important element
in paper making, was sixty-five cents
per hundred weight but is now $2.25
or an increase of 245 per cent. Itosin
has advanced eighty live per cent.
Casein two hundred per cent, alum
three hundred per cent, caustic soda
two hundred per cent while analinc
colors, employed almost exclusively in
the coloring of paper is practically
off of the market. I,ast year it was
worth only forty cents per pound.
In addition to this great raise in
the price of raw material and manu
facturing ingre bents wages of p „r
makes have incr., red twe i y per • 11
since the I , ge : ing of the ypni.
As in::’-.;' is that the ptic or r«
per may go still higher, the bulletin
Mates that the supplies of raw mater
ial are steadily decreasing. In one
item alone, sulphite pulp the falling
off in the volue of imports is
remarkable as shown by the following
table:
•lanaury, s.suo tons (about normal)
February 31,971 tons, March 15,091
tons, May, 3,983 tons. As the demand
is greater than ever, the immense
decrease is due solely to the fact that
the raw material cannot lie obtained in
the former markets. An additional
factor in the advance is the fact that
4
we are exporting more paper than ever
before owing to the South American
trade being diverted to this country
from Europe. The great increase in
the volume of exports is disclosed in
the statement that the exports in one
class of paper alone in 1913 were twenty
millions of tons. In 1915 this rose to
about forty five million tons and ex
ports for the current year are going
on at the rate of eighty five million
tons.

International Hews Service.
LEWISTON, Me., Sept. 4—During
the course of his address at the I-ibor
Day celebration held here today, Sam
uel Gompers delivered a severe denun
ciation of the republican party for its
obvious lack of interest in the cause
of labor and lauded the democratic
party in eloquent terms for its enact
ment of legislative measures calculated
to improve the condition of the labor
ing classes.
Hughes lie declared to be antagon
istic to labor in the degree that he* is
totally unable to sec conditions
through capitalistic eyes and excoriat
ed the republican nominee in bitter
terms for his attitude toward labor
w lale on the bench. On the other
hand he praised the Wilson adminis
ter. en for the passage of the child
labot law, the federal employes com
pensation act, the eight hour railroad
law and other measures beneficial to
the interests of the laboring people
and further declared that of the two
parties the democratic party was the
only true friend of labor .

the emergency revenue bill empower
ing the president to use such land and
naval forces as may be necessary to

GREAT STORM
DAMAGES CHICAGO
International News Service.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.—Damages esti
mated at over three hundred thousand
dollars were inflicted in this city to
day by a terrific wind and rainstorm
which swept down from the upper lake
region unroofing buildings and wreck
ing a number of structures. The storm
also caused a serious fire through a
lightning'bolt striking the tower of a
church, setting the structure on fire
and resulting in its complete de
struction with an attendant loss of
one hundred and fifty thousand. The
efforts of the fire men to save the
building were unavailing owing to the
great gale fanning the flames into a
firey blast which prevent effective
work. By heroic efforts the firemen
managed to confine the Arc to the
church building, preventing an Im
mense conflagration.
