Mr.. ISEL|N
WILL NOT
SAIL HER
Columbia VIII Probably Be In
Charge Of Robert Bacon
in the Trials.

While IT has been generally understood
that c. Oliver Iselin, who managed the
last three cup defenders. would not be
in charge of the new American syndicate
boat, It was universally believed that he
would have charge OF the ex-cup defend
er, Columbia, and race her for all she
was worth against the new syndicate
yacht
This, IL seems, is not so. as Mr.. Iselin.
II Is said. has retired from cup defence
for good and all. and not only will not
handle the new cup defender but will have
nothing to do with the Columbia either
ExCommodore j. Pierpont Morgan of
the New York Yacht club az is well
known, owns the Columbia. and II Is
said In Wall street that tho ex-cup de-
fender will he placed I'm charge Of Robert
Bacon. an enthusiastic yachtsman. and n
member OF the firn OF J. y. Morgan &
Co.
Mr.. Bacon Is an amateur yachtsman Of
no mean skill and owns the Herreshon
3o-footer Neda, which he purchased from
Cornelius Vanderbilt two years ago.
Mr.. Bacon has always sailed his own
boat and sails her well and with a COM
petent Yankee skipper behind him. the
Columbia should render a good account
OF herself In the trial races.

Search for Bodies Of Victims
of Explosion Goes Rapidly On,
Remains Of One Woman Found--Fear
That Twenty Others Will Be Found
Near the Same Spot.

New York. Oct. 3o-All night long a
gang of several hundred lsborers were at
work on ruins caused by tho explosions
in the building occupied by Tarrant g.
Co. No body was recovered and IL is
believed that none will be recovered for
another IL hours at least.
That there are bodies I'm the ruins there
can be no doubt. but A. is not belev ed
the list OF dead will exceed thirty md
twenty. One hundred and twenty seven
injured persons were received at the hos
pitals, most OF whom were discharged
after their wounds had been dressed.
The list of missing was large at first,
but many OF those supposed 10 have been
buried I'm the ruins have been accounted
for and as far as known not moro than
rs persons are missing this morning. The
property loss is variously estimated at
from 1907, 900 TO S2,000,000.
Chemicals probably entered into the
origin of the fire. The first smoke that
was seen was dense and very black. This
changed into what appeared to be- light
vapor, greatly increasing in quantity.
A SERIES OF EXPLOSIONS.
Then began a series OF minor cxplo-
sions, not heavy enough TO disturb per-
sons In the street further than TO warn
them from too near an approach. Sud-
denly an explosion of much greater force
drove the glass from the windows, show

They had seen chemicals and oils 60

Filled with fear, they fled with those

running in every direction to escape n

ment expressed by prominent local
banker today. Goff. the sound money
