Those Burnea to Death Fell on Furnace Heateo to 500 Degrees Fahrenheit, Others Dashed 45 Feet to Brick Floor. 1 mi ELDOM bai San Francisco known a ihudderlng horror like that of yeatetday afternoon, when the ventilator roof on the San Francisco and Pactflo Glass Works collapsed and precipitated nearly or quite 125 men and boys upon the white-hot retorts forty-flve feet below.

-The crowd bad gathered there to watch the- big football match between Staa-ford and the University of California, tbe glass works being Just across Fifteenth street front tbe football grounds. The men and tbe lads, who could not afford to bur admission tickets, tbougbt tbe roofs of the glass works buildings the very finest place from which to watch tb game. So they clambered there by onea and twos and threes until tbe roof were black wttb tbe tbrong. Suddenly tbe air was split by fearful shriek which sounded far abore tbe football cries. Accompanying tbe.

shriek was tbe booming roar of disastrous collapse." Down went the greater part of the throng In the big middle building of tbs works down to fearful death or frightful Injury. Then there was a sight to chill the blood. Tb- big retorts In the works wer i rlgM under the collapsed ventilator. They bad Just been heated tor the first time, preparatory to the formal opening of the works on Monday. In them tbe oil wa roaring and hissing.

Tbelr beat was 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit Inside and 500 degrees outside tbe full test heat. -Right down upon these roaring and hissing monsters dropped the unfortunates. Those who. were killed or stunned at onoe began to burn and flame. Those who had fallen on of their less fortunate fellows clambered1 away hastily, nursling tbelr wounds as best they might Seven men and boys wore killed instantly, eighty-two were taken to the nearest hospitals, where many soon died, and many, who were able to walk, got away to their homes to nurse their burns and woundt "Bnd fracture.

At the glass worftiu which ara located on Fifteenth wtreet, between Folsoa 4nd Harrison. are two main structures, each 100 feet long. Both hare roofs of corrugated Iron. Running along tbe top of each for Its entire length is a ventl-' lator raised three or four feet, eight feet wide and capped with corrugated Iron on thin. supports.

Tbe crowd which gathered on the root of the south building found the ventilator, a fine thing to climb upon, or to lean against. They made their way to it by twos and threes and tens, and were Intently watching tbe game, when Without a creak or a tremor or any sign of warning the entire roof of the ventilator collapsed from the middle. Just as the trap of a gallows collapses; and there the, gaping hole roared the hell-pot furnaces. There was no chance to reach out for safety. Those on the ventilator were dropped with the suddenness of thought.

The ventilator was not built to hold weight. Its supports were merely intended to bold It in place against the strain of tbe elements, and the weight of the crowd which fell was so great that It snapped an 8x12 inch stringer over the retort; cracked a corner of one' of the furnaces, bent a heavy bar of iron set as a -supporting arm for the flaming engines of science, and started the flaming oil to spurting through the testing apertures. Forty-flve feet Is a fearful fU in Itself. The floors of the glass works are of brick. So even those who fell cUar of tbe superheated retorts bad small chance to escape maiming or other injury, and the moaning of many bruised and bleeding men and boys was at once added to the shrieks of tbe dytng.

Charles You and Clarence Jeter were in charge of the furnace when tbe col- Interior of the furnace-room of the San Francisco and Pacific Class Works after the wounded had been taken to the hosDltals. The bodies of seven bruised and burned victims are laid out, awaiting the arrival or the coroner. The photograph was taken by Jonn E. Hare, The Ex-X airliner's photographer, who wasf on the spot within a few minutes after the accident occurred.
