TOTAL NUMBER OF
VICTIMS OVER FIFTY
BY Associated Press.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. 29.-
After a day Of unceasing effort on the
part of the city officials, the police and
many civilians, the total number of
dead in the wreck of the Pennsylvania
electric train that yesterday plunged
into the waterway separating the city
from the main land is placed at fifty
three.
OF this number fifty bodies have been
taken from the wreck and one man who
was injured died at the city hospital.
Then there are two victims whose
bodies have not yet been recovered.
The official number of identiications
made at the temporary morgue and at
Undertaking establishments is forty
four, and seven bodies remain un-
claimed.
OF the remaining bodies at the
morgue one was partially identified as
that of Armal Alexis Tedio of New
York. the fiance of lliss Keisch, who
was killed. One other body in an un-
dertaking establishment is that of an
old key peddler, whose name no one
seems to know.
In addition to this, Joseph McElory,
three-year-old son of Evelyn McElory
is known to have been among the
drowned.

CATALINA WILL STAY CLOSED

According to a statement made by
Hancock Banning, one of the owners
Of Catalina island, yesterday, the
island will remain closed to outsiders
in future just as it has been in the
past.
Because the passengers of the boat
Mckinley managed to land several
days ago is no sign that in future
Avalon will be an open port, accord
ing TO the declaration of Banning.
"Ienceforth anyone who lands with
out the regular fare viii be consid-
cred a trespasser." said Mr.. Banning
yesterday.
1--WE cannot keep an organized force
ON the island all the time to repel
these occasional invasions, for 1t costs
too much and is not worth the trouble
for it is hard to keep the people off
the island even with a force unless
trouble results and we want to avoid
that or course, If an organized in-
vasion is planned we will fight 1t with
organization, but we are paying but
little attention to occasional tres
passers"

Mr. Atterbury said the cause of the
accident still was a mystery to him.
Mr. Atterbury himself showed the
jurors how the bridge is operated and
explained in detail the manner Of open
ing and closing the draw. On their
return to this city the jury decided to
hold the first session of the inquiry on
Thursday.
Although reasonably certain that the
waterway, into which the electric train
fell. had been relitved of all its dead,
the divers continued their work late
into the night and maintained a dill
gent search.
The wrecking crew was also kept
busy preparing for the hosting of the
second car and it is expected that this
will be raised before morning. The
debris of the last car, which struck
and was held fast by an abutment
has not yet been removed, an effort
in that direction resulting in half the
coach sliding into the stream.
Despite the heavy distractions pre-
sented by the wrecked train, the road
way has been sufficiently cleared to
permit the resumption of traffic and the
schedule time table is again followed.

MAKE STATEMENTS
CONCERNING WRECK

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 29.-Mayor
Stoy made the following statement to-
day concerning the wreck:
AT the present time l am not pre-
pared to say anything concerning the
cause of the disaster. An investigation
will be made and wherever the blame
belongs it will be fixed; the public may
depend upon that. Coroner Gaskill and
l are one in this purpose, and no man
shall get away who may have had any
thing to do with the calamity or who
may have any light to shed upon it..
Coroner Gaskill will today impanel a
jury, but neither of us believes that it
will be possible to hold an inquest until
the latter part of the week."
General Manager Atterbury said this
afternoon:
II do not believe that Stewart, the
bridge tender, said anything like what
has been attributed to him regarding
the jacking up or alignment of the rails.
Il is not fact that when the draw is
swung the rails have to be reset. The
draw bridge is of the latest improved
type. We have nothing to conceal. We
don't know what caused the wreck and
do not think we can know until we
have seen the trucks of the derailed
cars"
When asked the direct question as to
his idea of the cause of the wreck Mr.
Atterbury said:
"Perhaps broken fiange or some part

MAGNETIC STONE
O0ESN' 7 WORK
MARGARET GRAHAM AGAIN IN
COURT
Denver Man Says Spook Seeress
Buncoed Him Out of 5000 and
He Wants Courts to Give
II Back

Suit for recovery of 5000 was filed
yesterday in the superior court by
John eileen against Mrs. E. M. Sow
ers, otherwise known as Margaret Ora
haiA, which he alleges he paid her fol-
the loan of magnetic stone.
Gleen alleges that he met the Gra-
ham woman in Denver nearly two
years ago. His head was 1lled with
calls from the spirit world and Mrs
Graham was spiritually inclined, so
that when she showed him a healthy
hunk of cobblestones his soul respond
ed and he saw that which was not seen
by ordinary mortalS.
Mrs. Graham, according to his alle-
cations, let him keep the magnetic
stone for four months while she held
5000 in security.
When eileen finally became aware of
the fact that there was only one way
to obtain wealth by means of the mag
netic stone and that was to clout
some rich man on the head with it, the
man took the stone back and asked
for his money.
He alleges he didn't get it and now
wants it ordered returned by the court.
1t has not been generally known that
the Sewers woman, better known as
Margaret Graham has returned to
Los Angeles.
She gained considerable notoriety
when the Texas authorities made such
a determined fight to extradite her last
March. The woman and her husband
fought the case bitterly, but were not
successful, and they were forced to
face indictments in the Lone Star state,
The Texas cases are still pending.
Sewers said last night that the
woman was waiting here quietly un-
til the Texas cases could be settled and
then they would resume business in
Los Angeles.
The police officials who were asked
regarding the resumption of business
expressed the fervent wish that the
Texas judges would do their plain duty
and save gullible Angelenos many
heartaches.
Sewers says he hopes Los Angeles
newspapers will deal gently with the
spook seeress so that they may again
resume active operations, as they need
the money.
Considerable merriment was created
at the time the Texas officers came to
Los Angeles. 1t pleased some of the
"come ons" to think this gifted" one
who saw couldn't see a deputy sheriff
coming up the stairs where so many
good things" had softly trod.

PATHETIC INCIDENTS
OF AWFUL DISASTER
BY Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 29.-At the
morgue the scenes were pathetic. Per-
sons who had friends on the Inflated
cars crowded about the door and with
difficulty were restrained from forcing
their way into the building. One of
the most heart rending Incidents was
furnished by Frederick Benickert, who
lost his entire family, his wife and two
children.
Benickert was not informed of the
accident until too late to catch a train
and he hurried here in an automobile.
When he saw the bodies of his wife
and two others lying side by side OH
the floor, Benickert collapsed and had
to be carried from the building. Wal
ter Scott was killed because of his
anxiety to spend part of the day with
his wife here.
1t was Scott's custom to run only
as far as Millville, but today he
changed runs with another motorman
and his death was the result.
DR.. Hudders and his wife were on
their way to this city to purchase a
German, the doctors sister-in-Iaw,
who resides in this city. The latter
was at the station waiting for the ar
rival of the doctor and his wife, and
when she learned of the accident the
woman collapsed. The bodies of the
doctor and his wife were among the
last brought in from the wreck.
Prosecutor Anderson, Coroner Gas
kill and Chief of Police Maxwell super
intended the removal of the bodies
from the scene of the disaster.
Divers Exhausted
The valuables taken from the dead
were placed in packages, which were
numbered and number corresponding
was placed on the body. The divers
were so completely exhausted by their
continued efforts that they were COM
pelled to suspend operations a short
time before daybreak.
Their work was particularly arduous
because the wrecking crews were UNI
able to raise the cars. The huge der
rick which was run out upon the long
trestle, with the added weight of the
wrecked cars suspended from the
crane, was more than the bridge
would sustain, and 1T was feared the
stress would cause it to collapse.
An attempt was made to cut the
first and second cars asunder and lift
single car out of the'water, but the
cables broke at the first attempt and
tempts TO lift the coaches were then
abandoned and all efforts were directed
toward getting the bodies of the VIC
Tins out of the wreckage.
General Manager Atterbury of the
Pennsylvania railroad, which owns the
line on which the accident occurred,
is here, but thus far has declined to
make any statement with reference
to the wreck.
A special train from Philadelphia
reached the scene of the wreck this
morning carrying, among others, three
divers, who came down to relieve the
men who had been working through
the night TO recover the bodies OF those
who had perished in the disaster.
! The efforts OF the new men resulted
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-30

in bringing to the surface of three
more bodies within a few hours. All
told, thirty-seven dead lay in the i'm
provised morgue and at 10 O'Clock
wretched and suffering persons, seek
ing lost loved ones, were permitted to
enter the chamber of death. Most
heartrending were the scenes, and
arms and hearts to bring the bodies
from beneath the waters were moved
to tears.
Loses Wife and Children
Among the most pathetic cases was
that of Samuel McElroy of Philadel-
phia, who found his family wiped out
by the disaster, his wife and 5-year-old
daughter lying dead in the morgue and
his 3-year-old boy missing. When the
officials making record of the identi-
fication asked for his address the
broken-hearted man replied
1T was 2092 Greene street, but I
shall never return there. God only
knows where l shall CO."
Almost as pathetic was the identi-
fication of DR.. Felsberg of Philadel-
phia by his brother.
From midnight until dawn the broth
er pleaded for admittance to the
morgue, already satisfied from de-
scriptionS furnished by the officials
that the physician and his wife were
among the dead. When the party were
admitted they were prepared for the
sight that met their gaze. One among
the rows of bodies lying covered with
sheet contained the corpse of Eddie
Mess, years old, who was drowned
in the second coach.
He came to Atlantic City with his
father, who lies injured at the home
of his brother in this city. The father,
i'll and distracted, could not go to the
morgue, but his sister-in-law identified
the body.
A few minutes after 10 o'clock the
wrecking crew brought from the water
the first car of the train and carried
it to the land. The car contained no
bodies but three bodies were brought
up with the lifting of the car from it's
bed of mud which seems to bear out
the theory that there may have been
some bodies floated out through the
windows.
Among those who are mourning the
manager of the hotel Walton, Phila-
delphia, whose sister-in-law, Mrs. Wal
ter Bradish of Eastport, Me-, was
drowned. Mrs. Bradish was returning
from a trip to Philadelphia when the
accident occurred.
Mrs. Martha HeiSch of Philadelphia,
whose body was found today among
the dead by her sister, was engaged
to be married to Arnold Tedesco of
New York and the wedding was to
have been celebrated in two weeks.
She started with her fiance on Sunday
for trip to the sea on the electric
train.
Tedesco has not yet been located.
