tardS the Work of Rescue

Cafe, I'VE win find many an unknown
crushed and burned to death"
To get Il this point yesterday was
impossible. Not only were the ruins
smoking to sulfocation and hot, but
the towering walls of "Opens, Smith &
Weimanu, seven stories high, threat
ened to collapse at each breath Of
wind. Only two OF those walls are
left standing The front and rear
walls were blown down by the explo-
sion. Every time an elevated train
passed these walls trembled Great
cracks appeared in them. that grew in
width as the day advanced 1t will
be no easy matter to remove these
walls. Dynamite must be employed,
and the man who places the dynamite
under them must take his life in his
hands. Dynamite must also be used
in throwing down the walls of the
Home Made hotel, in Greenwich street,
next to the Tarrant building.
With long poles and ropes workTnen
tried to overthrow these walls yester-
day. They would push and pull, but
the walls would rock, quaver and trem-
Bile, only to wave back in plumb.
There are bodies in the smoking
ruins of the hotel. Charles Francis
Buckley. son of the proprietor, told
story yesterday that convinces the po-
lice that the walls fell on more than
one victim. When the explosion oc-
CURED II men and women, known as
the might shift" were asleep on the
top floor Of the hotel There were also
many men and women who live out
of the city who were registered at the
hotel. No one IN New York knows
whether these patrons escaped or not,
because few, if any of them, have rela-
tiyes or friends here.
OF the employees who were asleep
the women we're mostly Irish and Ger
man girls who have recently come to
this country. They have no friends,
no home outside of the hotel and there
is no one to inquire for them if they
are missing.
"Unless they escaped from the hotel
before the second explosion occurred,
they are all dead" said Police Cap
tain Hogan.
