S[OCUM'S LIST OF
DEAD STILL GROWS
Bodies of Forty-one More VIC
tins of River Disaster Are
Recovered

NEW YORK, June 49, Sundays
harvest of dead fron-tfae steamer GEN
eraI Slocum numbered 40, bringing the
total number of bodies SO far reeov-
cred up to 624.
OF these $50 have been identified,
while 40 of the victims now lying at
the morgue have not been claimed by
friends or relatives.
While the list of missing has been
cut down somewhat by the identif1ca-
tions made today, eleven new names
were added to that roll. thus leaving
the total of missing almost as it was
on Saturday = something more than
300.
Early this morning the searchers be-
gan anew the work of locating the
Slocum's dead. Within an hour they
had recovered thirteen bodies off the
shore Of North Brother Island. Three
of the bodies were floating, and it is
the general opinion that many more
will come to the surface during the
week.
At sundewn,7 when work practically
ceased for the day. thirty six bodies
had been added to the long list of dead
that have been takeH from the wrecked
steamer, and the water in it's imme-
diate vicinity. Most of these bodies
were taken to the morgue and ma
jority of them were identified tonight.
Of the bodies recovered during the
first hour one was that of man, six

DOCTORS DENY THAT
RITCHIE Is MARKED
Faculty of College of Medicine
and Regents Support
the Dean

Contrary to rumors published last
week, DR.. Park Ritchie, a leading local
physician, has not been requested by
the faculty of the college of medicine
and surgery at the state university, to
resign his post as dean of that college.
Neither has similar request been
made by the regents of the university,
who appointed DR.. Ritchie. Instead,
Dean Ritchie is warmly supported by
the majority of the faculty members
and by the board of regents.
So far from opposing Dean Ritehie.
so far from desiring his resignation,
two-thirds of the faculty, it is said,
voted recently against re-electing as
secretary of the faculty a member who
had led the opposition to the dean.
The declared objections to DR.. Ritchie
were that his attitude towards the rails
ing of requirements demanded of stu
dents about to enter the college showed
that he did not wish to place the-col1ege
on a higher plane; that, so long as he
remained, the college would lack the
control of a dean able to devote his
whole time to the institution; dean
from outside" who would put a stop
to existing rivalries in the faculty be-
tween representatives Of the Twin
Cities.
These reports are very misleading,
according to DR.. Charles Lyman
Greene, of st. Paul. AS head of the de-
partment of medicine at the college, DR..
Greene occupies a position of special
influence among the faculty.
Some Opposition Discovered
There are few members of the
faculty." DR.. Greene said yesterday
who are opposed to the dean. One
of their. .reasons-there may be others
is that they do not agree with him
about the question of raising the re-
quirements for admission to the college.

turned. He says he Immediately ap-
piled the air and jumped from his en-
gine.
The interior of the dining car, which
was the most badly damaged, was be-
spattered with blood and the furniture
was mass of debris.
Vincennes has no hospital, and while

most impossible to telescope them.

TO HARSH MEASURES
Says 6obrikoff's Assassination Should
Not Be Avenged

ST. PETERSBURG, June 49, M.
Linder, vice president of the Finnish
senate, in conference yesterday and to-
day with Minister of the Interior Won
Plehwe, discussed the policy of the
Russian government in Finland in view
of the assassination of Governor Cen
eral Bobrikoff.
Minister Plehwe expressed himself as
averse to harsh measures in conse-
quence Of the act of one man whose
views were only held by a small
minority of the people of the duchy,
but will recommend that the policy Of
Gen. Bobrikof be continued.
The question as to whether or not
the Finnish diet shall be convened is
now under consideration. 1t has been
pointed out that the Swedish party is
opposed TO the Eeassembling of the
diet because 1t is certain to diminish
their own influence. 1t is learned that
M. Linder earnestly recommended that
elections Of members 10 the diet be
held.

The first shot from the desperado's
revolver struck the sheriff in the face.
1t entered just below and to the right of
the left eye, and plowed its way
through the head. emerging from the
back of the skull. Without a word
Sheriff Harris dropped. AS he fell the
murderer pulled the self-cocking re-
volver again and second shot pene-
trated the top of the skull. The bullet
passed entirely through the head,
ranging downward and coming out near
the base of the brain. A third time the
man shot, and this bullet lodged in

and made no effort TO capture the mur-
derer, who had pulled the bell cord to
bring the train to stop. He gave the
cord but one pull and the engineer paid
no attention to ii, as it was not the
proper call TO stop the train. but as the
train was nearing Fall Creek, a station
on the Omaha twelve miles east of Eau
Claire, the engineer had already begun
to slow down his train. The fellow
backed out of the smoker, ran through
two coaches and two sleepers and
jumped off the platform of the last
sleeper and escaped into the darkness.
Absolutely no effort was made to stop
the desperado.
The body was taken from the train
at Fall Creek and the train proceeded.
The place is small, out of the way
point, and even there nothing was done
to apprehend the murderer until after
daylight had appeared, and he was
then miles aWaV
The body was returned to Hudson at
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was
met by a great crowd of people at the
North Western station. The remains
were conveyed to his residence in the
county Jail building, the local lodge of
Elks and a detachment of Company B.
acting as an escort. The greatest sor-
row was expressed at the untimely
death Of the popular sheriff, and there
was scarcely a dry eye in the multitude
Of people who watched the sad home
coming.
Little is known of the man who evil

HUDSON, Wis, June 19. = Sheriff
Harry o. Harris, one of the most popu-
lar of St Croix county citizens, lies
cold in death in room over the county
jail in this city, and a posse of citi-
zens. headed by fifty men of Company
B, Third Wisconsin infantry, are scour-
ing the woods near Augusta for John
Smith, a Montana desperado, who last
night shot and instantly killed the
sheriff in the smoking car of train No.
?, or the North Western line. near
Fall treek, in the presence Of forty
passengers.
After killing the sheriff in cold blood
the bandit jumped from the moving
train and made good his escape in the
darkness. The whole country is thor
oughly aroused and every effort is be-
ing made to capture the murderer.
There is talk of lynching if the man is
taken alive.
Sheriff Harris met his death in the
performance of his duty. While jour-
neying to Lavelle, some seventy miles
from Hudson, to return a man to Hud-
son to answer 10 the charge of burglary
in Warren, the sheriff was notified at
Roberts that a hotel had been robbed
by burglars at Roberts the night be-
fore, and he was given a good descrip-
ton of the man wanted. The sheriff
went on to Eau Claire, where he COM
municated with a police officer at the
station, who told him that man an
swering the description had boarded
the train at Eau Claire on which the
sheriff was riding. The policeman Of
fered to go through the train with the
sheriff and pick out the man, but the
sheriff declined the proffered aid, and
said he would take the man if he found
him.
Locating the suspect from his de-
scription in the smoking car, he en-
gagged him in conversation, and finally
told him that he was wanted. Few
people of the forty in the smoking car
knew that there was anything wrong
until both men rose from their seats
we'll toward the rear of the smoker.
There was not a loud word spoken, but
as the sheriff laid his right hand on
the strangers shoulder the latter sud-
denly pulled a A Colts from his hip
pocket and began to shoot.
