In addition to these it is almost Ger
tain that is or 20 bodies still remain
in the twisted mass of beams. wires,
plaste brick and laths that was once
the main portion of one of the city's
largest stores.
Shortly after daybreak, the Searchers
found the 18th body. 1t was that of
Miss Helen Malone. young girl. who
shared the cashiers gallery on the
main floor with Anra Whitbeck, Min
mic Bullman and Alice Sharp and was
crushed beneath the same iron Orders
that killed her three companions. 9th

The injured in the hospitals are do
ing well with two exceptions. Miss
Ella J. Donahue, who was one of the
first survivors TO be taken oIt Of the
wreck. has several of her vertebrae
fractured and, it is said. cannot live.
Mrs. William Borst Of Windam, Mimi,
who was one of The few shoppers in-
jured. is also reported to be in 4 criti-
calcond itiOn.
Mrs. Richard w. Brass, who was in
the wreckase for several hours, was
removed without serious wounds. The
only addition to the list of injured is

painfully though not seriously bruised
and cut while at work of rescue

only disfigured corpses have been tax
Ell out. Fifty women employees are
still unaccounted for and as the finn
has n complete list of these grave fears
are expressed for the safety of the
majority. A large Per centage of those
in the central portion of the building
which collapsed were wcmen.
The number of men unaccnunted fer
is about the same, but the loss of the
firms books makes a complete record
of the male employees inaccessible. II
is thought that nine-tenths Of the
bodies remaining in the rains are
those of women.
Mayor Gaus. Chief Higgins of the
fire department, and Commissioner

caused by wOrkmen eXcavating be-

And Two Of Albany Dis
aster Victims Will Die.
A Special Commission Will In
vestigate the Cause.
Contractor Who Was Repairing Building,
Asks Suspension Of Judgement.

Albany, N. ", Aug. 9.-The collapse
of the John G. Myers Co. department
store. Yesterday which resulted in the
death OF 10 persons, and the probable
fatal injuries of two others, will be in
vestigated by a special commission.
This afternoon, when searchers an
nounced their belief that no more
bodies We're in the ruins, Mayor Gaus
called a meeting of the heads of the
city department and decided to appoint
three non-residents, two building con-
tractors and ono civil engineer or ar
chitect, to inquire into the cause Of
he disaster and report where the
blame should be placed.
Contractor John Dyer Jr., who was
digging a sub-ccllar and snoring up
the part of the structure which fell,
has published Il request to the public
Of Albany TO suspend Judgment until
after 4 thorough investigation.
The discovery that the 10 bodies al
ready taken out would account proba-
bly, for all the victims of the accident
was Il surprise to Albanians, who I'M
til this afternoon, expected that at
least dozen more mangled forms were
beneath the ruins still filling the chasm
in the center of the fatal building. So
sure We're the wreckcrs that no more
bodies remained in the ruins that they
have suspended their search and begun
demolishing the brick walls which
Ovcrhung the debris and threatened at
any minute to fail. This work will not
be completed until some time, tomor-
| row. and the last bit of debris will not
| be removed until Il day or two later.
OF those now in the hospital, Helen
| Dondhue is believed to be near the
| point of death and Mrs. William Rorst
| of Windsor, Mimi, a shopper, has but
| an even chance of recovery. 1t is be-
| leVed that all the other injured. 80 in
| number. will recover. Tonight. all the
| employees of the firm We're accounted
| for excepting half Il dozen cash boys
who are believed to be on their vaca-
| lions.

fleet most bitterly how little they have

TOCO'S FLAGSHIP
BURNED AND SUNK
The Mikasa Catches Fire and the
Magazine Explodes.
CARRIED 500 MEN TO DEATH

Toxic. Sept. l3.-The navy depart
ment announced that the battleship
Mikasa has been destroyed by fire and
the explosion of her magazine. causing
the loss OF 500 lives. including men Of
other ships who went to the rescue.
The fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight on Sundey night.
September TO- Before the officers could
be rescued the fire reached the aft
magazine, which exploded blowing a
hole in the port side of the vessel be-
low the water line and causing the
ship 10 sink.
An investigation is now being held
10 determine the cause OF the fire.
Admiral Togo was not on board the
Mikasa when the disaster to the battle
ship occurred.
The disaster has east gloom every
where The Mkasa was Togo's flag
ship. and was endeared to the hearts OF
the people. The ship was at anchor in
Sasebo harbor when the fire started at
the base OF the mainmast at midnight
II spread with great rapidity, exploding
the after magazine an hour after the
fire had been discovered The Mikasa
sank in shallow water, and Il is be-
iieved the ship can be repaired. Rescu-
ing parties were sent from the various
warships in the harbor and there was
heavy casualties among them.
Various conjectures are current as TO
the cause OF the fire. Some attribute 1t
TO an overcharge OF electricity.
Great relief was left throughout ia
pan when 1t was learned that Admiral
Togo was not on board the ship at the
time OF the fire.
The Mikasa was first class battle
ship of 1920 tons displacement. She
was built IN England and was launched
in 1902. The battleship was 400 feet
long. had speed Of over IS knots. and
carried a crew of 935 officers and men.
She was heavily armored and carried
four Pinch guns. IA 6-inch guns. 90
l2-pounders and a number of smaller
rapid-fire guns. She had four submerged
torpedo tubes.
In the battle of the Sea of Japan
the Mlkasa was the heaviest loser OF
all the japanese ships. having 60 killed
and wounded. She approached nearer
TO the Russians than any other battle
ship.
The MilSasa was also the flagship Of
Admiral Togo after the great naval
battle fought of Port Arthur on August
10. 1904, on which occasion the Japa-
nese flagship also suffered the most.
but continued in the fighting line. On
that occasion the Mikasa had four Off

20 men severely wounded and four off,
