& City Disaster Than at
First Supposed.
THREE OTHERS RECOVERED
inquest WILL BEGIN THURSDAY
MORNING.
THREE OTHERS RECOVERED

Atlantic City, Oct. 30.-With all the
recovered bodies identified and seven
persons reported missing, the authori-
ties are certain that the number killed
on Sunday in the bridge disaster, will
not exceed sixty. Fifty-two bodies have
been claimed, two of these placed
among the missing are known to be
dead and five are still unaccOunted for.
These seven victims are believed to
ne Wedged beneath the second passen-
ger coach, which is held fast in the
muddy bottom Of the Thoroughfare.
Efforts last night TO diSlodge this car
produced little result The trucks
weighing about ten tons, have sunk
deep into the mud. AS a last resort, il
was suggested that the wreckers use
dynamite and blow up the car but this
will not be done unless all other plans
fail.
The inquest will begin on Thursday
and Coroner Gaskill thinks that it may
be a week or more before a verdict is
reached
Following 4 conference today with
City Solicitor Wooten, Coroner Gas
kill declared that it is absolutely GER
tain that more persons were killed in
the Pennsylvania electric train disas-
ter than is shown by the number OF
bodies recovered. The coroner says be
has information which proves that the
lumber of passengers on the train wa:
g. least ninety-One, as originally stat
u: that there were seventy-Si1
1lrough passengers from Camden anC
fifteen persons riding on passes. A few
got off at way stations, but more go1
on at Pleasantville and other points.

TO AUDIT COUNTY RECORDS
Committee Appointed by Commits
sioners to Go Through Books.
and Ascertain Conditions.

Robert T. Harris and Charles r. Hol-
Engsworth were yesterday appointed as
an auditing committee ito audit the rec
Ords of the county," This action was ia
ken by the county commissioners osten-
SlDiy for the purpose of learning the
truth concerning the charges that have
been made that there has been wholesale
graft committed by the county officials.
This action is also looked upon by many
az a political move to create the impress
sion that the Republicans are DESTROYS
OF getting at the truth Should this be
their true desire there is little doubt but
what they will get all they wish. The
committee appointed to do the work is the
same that audited the accounts of the
city at the conclusion of the term of Will
Lam Glasmann as mayor and whose re-
port raised such a furore among the Re-
Publicans. These men say that they wilt
go into the matter most thoroughly and
render true report of conditions as they
flnd them, without fear or favor.
In making the motion for the appoint
Tnent of the committee yesterday Commits
sloner w. G.. Wilson said that on &C
count of the status of affairs around the
county building that he believed the au-
dit was necessary. This statement is con-
Strued as being directed at the evidence
gwen IN the recent trial of County Attor-
Eey +. I. Hulanisl1i, by County Clerk Da-
Yld MattSOn. This testimony was direct

HulaniSki thought seriously of bringing
an action against the county clerk. This
would probably have been done but for
the fact that a certain portion of the evil

! from the case by the prosecution.
When Harris and Hollingsworth COM

with general approval.

David Mattson county clerk, stated last

diting committee appointed by the county
commissioners yesterday, on the ground
that nc is an interested party. Holdings

Marked Change in California Insect
and Reptile Life.

Berkeley Cal Oct 30-Professor W. F.
Ritter and his assistants in the depart

aside from tumbling down buildings and
changing the geological formations of the
state has made a marked change in the
insect and reptile life of many regions
This effect on the lower forms OF animal
life is, according TO the scientists, due to
effects of the fault slides. The flora is
not affected.
Professors Ritter, kofoid and Torey are
now in Marin county carrying on inves-
legations. They will prepare a report on

by Skeen, Resigns.

Joseph Stanford chairman Of the board
of county commissioners Of Weber county,
against whom charges have been filed for
the alleged presentation of false claims
against the county, by Attorney j. d.
Skeen, yesterday afternoon presented his
resignation to the board. 1t was lmme-
dlately accepted. The resignation was
not unexpected, so that it created little
more than a ripple of surprise when 1t
was presented. Tie board had met III
special session to close up the business
before that body. When this had been
done, Mr. Stanford presented hlS reslgn&-

Reasons for Resignation.

In announcing his reasons for with
drawing from the board at this time Mr..
Stanford said:
las stated in my letter this day to you,
rendering my resignation as member OF
the board of county commissioners or
Weber county, Utah, l beg TO submit the
following statement:
You are aware that I am charged by
one J. d. Skeen in the Second judicial
district court of Weber county, state OF
Utah. with making illegal claims against
Weber county, and of receiving warrants
in payment thereof, Notwithstanding sad
claims, prior to their being allowed and
paid, were examined and approved by the
county auditor as to their correctness,
and by the county attorney as to their Ie-
gality. Similar claims have been allowed
to members of the several boards OF coun-
~ commissioners for a number or years.
no questions ever having been raised as
to their legality All the time such claims
in the aggregate did not exceed to each
county commissioner $500 annually, the
amount allowed by the state enactment
1t appears that along technical lines
some of such claims. according to the al
legations set forth in the complaint. have
not been properly itemized, notwithstand-

tied line OF positions at the disposal of
the mayor. Murphy comes out of it all
in better shape than any other Demo
crat.
The future Of Mr.. Hearst is the sub
ject OF much speculation. but the com
monest opinion IS that the remarkable
run he made proves him a man yet TO
be reckoned with: while the fact that
he was the one man on his ticket to
go down, will arouse sympathy for him

campaigns more closely 10 him than
