The Hallisby house ruin, near. the bridge,
is still supposed to contain many dead. Who
they are there is no means of knowing. Not
a brick Of this wreck has been touched. 1t
lieJ a shattered mass of debris all crushed
in, the four walls having apparently given
way together, all failing toward the center.
This hotel is said to have contained at least
forty boarderp. Whether they were there
at the time Of the storm Is not known. That
some of them were inside is almost certain
and how they could have escaped death or
injury is hard to imagine.
Owing to the lack Of system here 1t is
impossible to get a list OF the missing. No
record is kept OF the persons who have
been asked for at the police station and none
kept Of those reported as safe who were
thought to have been killed. The police ara
30 overworked that they have no time for
such labor. That may come in time, but
now 1t is out of the question.
During last night three persons werc
taken from the fremont house ruins. They
were only slightly injured, but terribly
frightened. Many dead bodies are thought
to be in the ruins of the fremont house
and as some have been taken out alive the
oearch for the others is progressing more
rapidly in the hope that others in the ruins
are still alive and can be saved.
The burial Of bodies still continues and
every kind of a vehicle in which a coffin can
be placed is being used to carry the bodies
to the cemeteries. The bodies of all the
clerks in the Vandalia freight house have
been removed from the ruins.
In the opinion of Mayor Bader the total
loss of property in East st. Louis will not
exceed 81, 900 900, while 1t is true that it will
take more than that sum to replace the
buildings destroyed. A schedule of the losses
to the railroads in East st. Louis has been

The frequent rapping of night sticks in
dictated the presence Of the regular police,
whose numbers had been increased as far as
possible consistent with the adequate pro-
lection Of the ba.ance of the city. The two
elements OF protection were on very good
terms, stopping whenever they met and ex-
changing reports and advice. The police
being the more accustomed to such duties,
gave their coadjutors many valuable pointers.
On every hand could be seen ruined houses
In more or less irreparable conditions of
demolition. In some cases the front wall
was gone and the moonlight streaming in
revealed the wreck Of what had been the
treasured household goods Of former occu-
pants. And these occupants, where were
they? Dead. alive, In the hospitals or
mourning the visitation OF death In their

Purchasing power.of Cheap Money.

Maj. Sanders, of Louisville. who served
ir the confederate army, recalls that in
January, 1865, he tried to buy hands,
kerchief in Meridian, Miss, but foundl
he could not afford it, the price lin crop-i
federnto money! having been $500, cntlI
as compromise he bought paper COLI
lar for 1925. With gentlemen to whoml
collars and handkerchiefs are q SUPER
fluffy such object lessons from the past
will have very little weight. The marvel
is that the imitation craze should have
got such a hold upon the people of the
south, where the bitter experience with
confederate money should have lasted
for the present generation at least

THAT KNOX CASE.

The jury in the Knox case gave the

dollars.

says that the evidence showed that
! the walk was defective. i t is TRUE
that Harry Jones, Tom Haywood,
Chas. FELTON, and DR.. O'Malley did
| testify to that effect On the other
hand, such creditable men as L. j.
Cook, Mart Hirzel, Samuel Walters,
A. Wright, VIM. Murphy and others
swore positively that the walk was
not detective and WAS in good shape
with the exception OF being slippery
from sleet that fell tlat. day, Mrs.
Knox admitted herself that she drank
| that night and several creditable wit
nesses testified that they saw her and
that she was drunk. There is no
question in the minds Of a large major
ity of the people here that her acct
dent was the result of her condition

condition of the walk, owing to the
slect, and not defective sidewalk us

that her leg was broken was that Of

brought on the stand, told Dr. Neville
that only one bone Of the leg WAS bro
