TO MAKE FINAL EFFORT
WILL VISIT PRES. MCGOWAN
While at Republican State conven.
tion Attorney Gardner Will Try to
Get Second Street viaduct Matter
Cleared Up.

While in Indianapolis next week,
attending the state Republican con-
vention, City Attorney Gardner will
pay a visit to President MCGOWAN, of
the indianapolis G Eastern Ry., in a
final effort to secure from the street
railway company it's right to the use
of West Second street, where the pro-
posed viaduct is to be built beneath
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
This matter has been hanging upon
the decision of President MCGOWAN
but he has continued to cling obdur-
ately to the rights which are granted
to his company in its franchise. 1t is
provided that the street car company
has the right to lay tracks and oper-
ate cars on any streets that are now
open and on any streets that may
ever be opened inside the city and
President MCGOWAN probably does
not want to establish a precedent
along the line of giving up any of the
rights of the franchise.

LIST OF THE DEAD
STILL GROWING
Sixty Bodies Reported Found
in Ruins of Hotel Zum
Hirsohn.
EIGHTY WERE INJURED
STATE THAT AC-
cIDENT RESULTED FROM OVER
cRowDING SECOND FLOOR OF
HOSTLERY.
Publishers Press1

Nagold, Black Forest, South Ger
many, April ct has now been def
nitely determined that the dead in
the ruins of the Hotel Zum Hirsohn,
which collapsed yesterday while
crowded with guests will number
sixty while the injured number
eighty, of whom the attending physi-
clans declare twenty will die. The
work of searching the ruins was not
completed until late last night but all
the dead and injured have now been
taken out. The injured are being
cared for in the neighboring houses
and score of doctors from the sur
rounding country are in attendance.
The authorities declare the acci-
dent was due to the fact that the up
per floor, where dance was in pro-
gress, was permitted to become over
crowded with the result that the en-
tirel structure collapsed burying all
the inmates in the ruins. The roof of
the building had only been put on
Thursday morning and a celebration
was in progress in honor of the open
ing of the hotel which it was expect
ed would be one of the show resorts
of the region.
While the younger guests were
dancing on the upper floor the eld-
ers were dining downstairs and it
was among the latter class that the
casualties were greatest.
The scenes following the disaster
were heartrending in the extreme.
The groans and means of the injured
could be heard for long distance and
the few persons that were unhurt
worked manfully extricating their
less fortunate fellows. There were
three hundred in the structure when
it collapsed and of that number
hardly one escaped entirely un-
scathed. The architect, the proprie-
tor and the builder were all three
killed.
The entire region is in mourning as
a result of the casualties at the hotel
collapse Nearly every hotel keeper
