NOT ALL RECOVERED
Bodies of Victims Still in New
York Hotel Wreck

New York, March 4.-That several
bodies, perhaps nine or ten, are still
buried in the ruins of the wrecked Ar
lington apartment building, is the
opinion OF Coroner Scholer. expressed
today after a conference with Fore
man Halpn, of the iron workers on
the building. and Joseph Yeamans, a
walking delegate of the Asphalt and
Cement Workers Union.
Yeamens said that eighteen men of
his union had been employed on the
building, only three of whom had been
accounted for, and Halpin told the
coroner that nine or ten men had been
working as locksmiths and fathers on
the upper floors for whom no account
had yet been given.
The fact that Lazk was still alive
when taken from the ruins today, and
that the body of Alexander l.. Johnson
taken out late last night, showed evil
dence of recent death, gave hope that
other victims might be rescued alive.
The work of removing the wreckage
was continued today with the utmost
energy.
