THE STEAMER HORROR.
Hundreds CT Bodies Removed From
the Burned Ship.

NEW YORK, June 16.-With unceas-
ing effort the search is going on for
the bodies of those who persisted yes
terday on the General Slocum. What
the list of victims will total scarcely
anyone dares to venture a guess, but
whatever the number may be, there
IS hardly parallel in the history of
disasters where death came to so
many in so brief a time.
The police and heath department
officials have placed the number at
1000 but tonight it would seem that
the maximum number of fatalities
will not largely exceed 700 All day
from sunrise until darkness anxious
searchers kept up their vigilence ami
at dusk there had been recovered $50
bodies for the greater part Of whom
were women and children; mothers
who weeks 8go had pianed that fatal
outing for their children: little ones
who had %, -a.- icr the coming Of the
happy day.
Up to dusk this evening 499 bodies
had passed through the morgue of
these more than goo were identified.
Divers went down repeatedly AMI
when their work was ended for TIE
day they declared that there were
no mere bodies in the wreck
Two OF them came to the surface
together on one occasion, having in
their arms two little girls. sisters,
clasped in each others embrace, and
their mother whose dead hand was
! tightly clenched to the skirt of one
Of them.
The water is very deep and he
currents are swift, and beyond doubt
many bodies have been borne along
with the tide to be given up at a later
day at some distant point Tonight i
! is surprising to learn of the number
/ Of persons that nave reported that
! they have been saved.
The coroners investigation to fix the
! responsibility fer the disaster will
! begin On Monday next. The federal
authorities as well as the district at

experiences was that Of Miss Clara

NO TOWN SCHOOL sUPERINTEN.
DENTS.

Through a mistaken Interpretation
of Chapter 43 of the laws of 1908. it
appears that some towns have elected
town school superintendents. The law
provides that the legal voters of every
organized town in Minnesota. which
forms part Of common school
district containing twenty or more
townships. shall, at it's annual town
meeting in each year. in addition to
the business now provided for by law,
elect one resident legal voter of such
town, who shall b. known and de-
signated as town superintendent.
The law was intended to cover a
few special cases in the northern part
of the state. Cass county, for in
stance. is all one school district.
There is no school district in Morri-
son county containing twenty or more
towsrips, hence the law is not eppica-
BILE in this county.
