ADDED HORROR.
Continued from First Page)

I'm the hope that we may lessen in
some degree the anguish which you
and your people suffer, I have APP
pealed to the generosity of our fellow
citizens to render financial aid TO
those who may need 1t to care Tor
their sick and to bury their dead. We
all hope that courage may be given
you to bear up under your great
Rmiction.'
Scores of the bodies of the victims
are so burned and disfigured that they
will never be identified 1t has been
suggested to Mayor Mcclellan from
dozen or more sources that the city
pay what tribute it can to these I'M
known dead by holding great public
funeral for them.
It has also been suggested to the
mayor that a great memorial meeting
for all the dead would be a fitting
thing at a time when the entire city
is thrown into grief by the horror,
and that later a movement for the
erection of a monument over the
graves of the unidentified would be a
suitable thing.
Messages of sympathy and condo
lence and proffers of assistance have
been pouring into the mayors Office.
They come not only from all sections
Of the country, but from Europe as
well. Sir Thomas Upton subscribed
81 900 to the relief fund
Until the committee appointed has
had an opportunity to organize con-
tributions will be received at the
mayors Office.
As a sign of mourning the mayor
has ordered the flags of the city hall
to be put at half-mast.
Mayor Mcclellan visited the scenes
Of the wreck with the health commits
sioner, Mr. Darlington, to whom he
gave directions to have all the bodies
which are burned beyond any hope of
Identification buried at once in the
Lutheran cemetery at the city's ex-
pense. He has also authorized the
heads of other departments to spend
any necessary sum warranted.
The mayor said he expected to have
replies from this relief committee and
would call a meeting for this after
noon to see what he could do He
said he did not want to appeal for
large subscriptions. He thought If
was a case where everybody so moved
ought to have an opportunity to ex-
press their sympathy in a practical
way.
Some families have lost four or
nve members" he said, land we shall
have to bury their dead. Others will
be destitute after their terrible exne-
rlence and I think we ought to helm
all such if possible. There is no yvav

ORDERLY HOLD up
Express Car in a Northern Pa
cif1c Train Robbed
In a Most Gentle and Dignified
Manner.
BANDIT APOLOGIZED
When He Accidentally Struck
the Engineer With a Pistol.
Amount of Money Secured Is
Said to Be Large.
BANDIT APOLOGIZED

Bearmouth, Mont, June 17.-At IL
o'clock last night two masked men held
up North Coast limited Northern Pa
ciac passenger train, eastbound, about
a mile and a half east of here. After
bringing the train to stop they dyna-
mited the express ear, blew open the
safe and secured all of its contents.
The amount secured is not known, but
is believed to be large. After blowing
out the rear lights of the train the two
men disappeared and have not been
seen since.
The mold up was similar to the one
which took place two years ago in near
~ the same spot and in which Engineer
O'Neir lost his life. The hold ups
boarded the tender of the engine at
the water tank at Bearmouth. When
the train had gone a mile and a half
they crawled up over the coal and COW
cred Engineer Wade and Fireman Reed
with their guns. The engineer and fire.
man were ordered from their engine
and with the hold ups went back to
the express car. The express messen-
ger was commanded to open the door
but refused. A stick of dynamite was
placed against the car door. The force
of the explosion completely wrecked the
door and the robbers then dynamited
the safe. After rifiing the safe the rob
berS commanded the train crew to re-
them. While this conversation was go
ing on one of the robbers accidentally
struck the engineer with his revolver
and in apologizing for it called him by
name indicating a possibility that he
may be a railroad man. The crew were
then ordered back to the engine while
the robbers passed to the rear of the
train and after putting out both of the
rear lights of the train disappeared in
the darkness. Meanwhile the passen-
gers were terror-stricken and had
crawled under every vantage place
which offered a hiding.
OfIieiaIs Say Little Was Obtained.
St Paul, Mimi, June IA report
of the Northern Pacific train holdup
by robbers near BearmOuth, Mont,
was received at the general offices of
the road here today, and according to
statements made to the Associated
Press at General Horns office, the
report of the holdup as carried in the
Associated Press dispatches was cor
rect except as to the amount of
booty secured by the robbers. The
officials say that nothing of great
value was taken from the express
safe.
Reward for Robbers.
Helena, Mont, June lib. E.
Palmer, superintendent of the Rocky
Mountain division of the Northern
Pacific railway company, has offered
$4,000 reward for the capture and
conviction of each of the robbers who
held up the North Coast limited train
at Bearmouth last night

FRENCHMAN WON IT.
Automobile Race for the James Cor
don Bennett Trophy.

Saalburg, June 1.-THE cosmopolitan
gathering staying at Hamburg for the
great international event in the motor
ing world, the race for the James Ben
nett cup, was early astir today and
was joined by thousands of sight
seers from all places within reach
They thrOnged Saalburg and all the
points of vantage along the course long
before the time of starting the race
The weather was splendid. The course
was 871z miles, necessitating four cir
cults to complete the total distance of
$50 miles. 1t was in excellent condi-
ton though numerous sharp curves
sudden falls and rises and steep en-
bankments at the side presented
enough dangers to try the skill and
nerve of the most experienced drivers.
The course was excellently kept by
large force of police and soldiers.
They won the race. Jenatzy was
second.
Thery's total time was ; hours, 5
minutes and 3 seconds and Jenatzy :
was hours, 1 minute and p seconds
Jenatzy arrived at the winning post
first, but his actual running time was
II minutes and II seconds longer than
that of the Frenchman.

STILL UNKNOWN.
Number of Dead in SIocum Disaster
Reckoned at Nearly 1000.

New York June 17.-Forty- eight
hours after the burning of the steamer
General Slocum the exact number of
victims is still unknown. Up to the
present time the total number of bodies
recovered is 532. With no more arrivals
at the morgue for several hours, hope
began to be felt that the awful total
had been completed but 1t was soon
shattered by a report that divers at
work on the hulk of the Slocum had
discovered a mass of bodies wedged in
one of the paddle boxes. How many
corpses there will prove to be in this
place will not be known for some hours,
as they will not be disturbed until the
coroner is on the scene. One hopeful
phase of the situation is the decrease
in the number of missing though it
is still appallingIy large, the number of
missing being somewhere between 400
and 500.
The various officials whose position
brings them in touch with the disaster
still adhere to the belief that when all
is told it viii be found that between zoe
and 1000 persons persisted.
The sad task of burying the dead be-
gan today. A meeting of the German
Lutheran ministers of the city was held
and a programme of services arranged.
While in many instances a. joint service
will be held over several bodies, never
theless the clergymen of this denomina-
ton have a Herculean task before them
in administering the last rites over the
dead of their faith.
The distressing concentration of. the
disaster is shown by the fact that in
one apartment house in Eightieth
street there are IS dead. while in a Riv-
ington street house 16 bodies await
burial.
Preliminary steps have been taken
for three distinct Investigations of the
disaster. These are being undertaken
by the federal authorities through the
department of commerce, by the cor
oner's office and by the district attor-
ney. The coroner's inquest will begin
on Monday next and Captain Van
Shaick of the Slocum and six of his
crew lie in hospital with a policeman
at the bedside of each. Tney are at
present detained as witnesses. The au-
thorities are rapidly gathering such evil
dence as will be abdul in ascertaining
whether or not there was neglect or
carelessness in the safety appliances of
the vessel.
First Officer Edward Flanagan of the
Slocum. is quoted in an interview as
saying that the steamers fire hose was
rotten and useless and that it burst IN
a dozen places when. he and mis- men
tried to use it. The charge is also
made that the life preservers on the
vessel were old and rotten and in most
instances proved inadequate when
used Several papers today print pic

sNATCHEp FROM DEATH.
Baby Found Alive Among Bodies Laid
Out to Be Tagged.

New York. June 17.-Saved from the
wreck of the Inflated steamer General
Slocum, there is a little unknown baby
boy at Lebanon hospital. B1ue-eyed
gOlden-haired, and plump, the little fell
low creeps about the wards, wondering
what has caused so much excitement.
Nurses of the island hospital, inspect
ing the dead, found the baby, where a
policeman had laid him down to be
tagged with the other unknown dead.
They hurriedly carried him to the re-
and a sleep brought the little one round
to laughing, prattling, healthiness.
Late in the afternoon the baby was
sent to the Lebanon hospital, where it
was the only bright spot in the place
of sorrow and pain. A man, one of the
long line who scanned the faces of the
children, for his own missing ones. saw
the baby late at night and said he
thought he knew the parents. He went
out to seek them but has not returned
to the hospital.
