RUINS YIELD
MORE BODIES
Thirteen Dead Removed
From Wreckage of the BIG
Albany Department Store
OTHERS IN THE DEBRIS
Army of Men Tolls Through
the Night, but the Work
Is Far From Completion

ALBANY. N. Y, Aug. s.-This morning
found two hundred men still toiling over
the wreck of The John G. Meyers Com
pany department store, where twenty
four hours before occurred the saddest
catastrophe in the history of old Albany.
Twelve dead bodies many of them man
gled beyond recognition, have been taken
from the ruins thus far and one woman
died after being carried to the hospital.
The list of known dead, which last night
numbered only five. has been more than
doubled by the addition Of the following
ali employees: Mary McAyer. died at hos
pital; Anna eastman. Theresa Spannbau-
er, Eta Sprinks, Grace Berner, Helen
Malone, John e. Powers. cash boy
In addition to these it is almost certain
tnat fifteen or twenty bodies still re-
main in the twisted mass of beams. wires
plaster. brick and lath, which was once
the main portion of one of the city's
largest stores.
A days work by skilled hands from the
wrecking crew of the New York Central
and Delaware and Hudson railroads has
resulted in raising barely half the debris
Shortly after daybreak the searchers
found the body of Miss Helen Malone. a
young girl who shared the cashiers gall
lery on the main floor with Anna Whit
beck, Minnie Bullman and Alice Sharp
and was crushed beneath the same grid
ers that killed her three companions
Shortly after 10 o'clock the thirteenth
body was found and identified as that
of Miss Winifred Kelly by her father
who had watched by the wreckage all
night.
fhe injured in the hospital are doing
we'll with two exceptions. Miss Ella
Donohue, one of the first survivors to be
taken out of the wreck. has her spine
fractured and cannot live. Mrs. Borst
of Window, Mimi, who was one of the
few shoppers injured, is also reported to
be in critical condition. She has been
visiting Mrs. Richard w. Brass. wife of
a well known attorney. The two women
were out on early shopping tour.
Ar investigation will be begun as soon
as the work of rescue is over. The work
under way when the building collapsed
was in charge of Contractor John Byer
Jr. OF the thirty-one men employed by
hlm ON the building, every one escaped.
In view of the fact that nearly all of
them were IN or under the basement in
the very center of the structure, their
escape Is almost miraculous.

-FOUR STATES AFFLICTED.
Texas Preparing TO Resist Invasion of
the Disease.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 9.-State Health
officer Tabor to-day submitted report
TO Governor Lanham concerning the
yellow fever situation in the South, in
which he says:
yellow fever exists now in Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and
the republic of Mexico. Texas is sand
wiched between the infected districts
with very little hope of escaping in
vasion by the scourge with the long
summer before US. I would most cer-
tainly insist that there be no mobiliza-
ton of citizens or soldiers at this time,
as any excitement might cause Il gen
eral stampede and q general quaran-
tine that would tie up the entire rail-
road service of the State"
The State health officer has also
called upon the Governor to hold the
entire State ranger force in reserve,
subject TO his orders, as he may need it
at any time to control the quarantine
situation.
