TWO HUNDRED CORPSES "
WERE CREMATED SUNDAY

San Francisco, April 23.-Two hun
.dred corpses found in the Potero dis
itrict, south of Shannon street near the
Union iron works, were cremated at
the Six Mile house yesterday by order
of Coroner Walsh. This information
was obtained at the board of health
headquarters today. Some of the dead
were victims of falling buildings from
the earthquake, some were killed in the
fire, but it is believed by the heasth of
5fcials that the majority died from pto-
maine poisoning. So many dead were
found in this limited area that cremation
was deemed absolutely necessary to pre-
went disease The names of some of
the dead were learned, but in the ma
|jority of cases identification was inn
possible owing to mutilation. A syste-
matte search for bodies of victims is
being made today by the coroner and
