In drawing lots for the order of
starting, JenatZy, a German, secured
the first chance. He led off on the

ial box and congratulated him.
Therrys time was five hours fifty
minutes and three seconds. Jenatzy's
time was six hours one minute and p

Six Hundred Bodies Found.
Another step toward the grave was
taken in the Slocum tragedy today.
Five hundred dead lie in their late
homes shrouded and encased for bur-

day, but the great bulk of the dead
will go to their last resting places to-
morrow or Sunday. The stricken dis
trict is swathed in black, white and
purple crepe on the doors of hundreds
or houses Great crowds throng the
district, many of whom stop at the
houses of the dead and pay their last
respects. At the mOrgue this morning

Less than 100 bodies remained on the

are again on hand looking for lost

estimate the number missing. Some
city officials stick to yesterdays fig

would show missing list of 400. 1t
is believed however, that this is an
exaggeration and that when the story
