the frcmen TO make any effort to extricate the

| RUMoRs ABOUT THE NUMBER LOST.
The number of dead was variously
estimated from twenty to two hun

Joseph Back, of the Second Precinct, was based
on actual observation, and probably comes nearer
the exact number of dead than any other Police
man Back said that he hauled three men out of
the kitchen in the basement under the Hudson
restaurant. He entered the basement through
Heagney's plumbing shop. Back said that he
saw at least fifty persons partly buried in tho
basement Some of them were alive, and calling
loudly for help, but most of them were evidently
dead
