SOUTH FRAMINGHAM, Mass, July "a.
Under the lights of electric lamps the
WORK or exhuming the bodies Of the victims
o1 the collapsed Amsden building went on
increasingly through the night, but this
morning brought no increase to the list OF
known dead
Al dawn there were still ten bodies at the
morgue, eight of the injured were at the
nospital, two others were at their homes,
Whlle the list OF missing still remained at
1our, making total Of twenty-four who SO
far as could be learned early today were
ABOUT the building when the support gave
way and sent the tons of cement, iron COL
umns and steel beams crashing in tangled
mass into the basement
A revised list Of the dead, wounded and
missing early today is as follows:

Rescue Work Dangerous.
The totteFng walls and pillars and the
hanging beams and girders made the work
of extricating the bodies not only difficult
but dangerous
The local authorities sent out a call this
morning for assistance in the work of over
hauling the ruins and large number OF
men were ordered here~4x8m Boston. ..s~s.Sss
The military authorities also sent down
another company of the 9th Regiment to re-
ieve the company which had been on duty
at the ruins all night. The cause of the
accident could not be definitely learned to-
day. The town has no building laws, and
any proceedings against a contractor or
other person in connection with faulty con-
structfon will have to be upon another
charge. and any action will have to be
brought by state officials instead Of the
local authorities.
The condition of the injured workmen was
reported today as favorable, with the ex-
ception Of Chester Nicholson.

ARBITRATION COUNCIL
Model Treaty Discussed at
London Today.
BRYAN'S PLAN DISCUSSED
Much Enthusiasm Aroused Over His
Brief Speech.
PURPOSE OF RIDER EXPLAINED
Debate on Limitation of Naval and
Military Forces--Comparison Of
States With Europe.
BRYAN's PLAN DISCUSSED
OF RIDER EXPLAINED

LONDON, July 2.-William J. Bryan's
proposed rider to the model arbitration
treaty was discussed at a session Of the
international ouncil Of the interparlia-
mentary union this morning and resulted
in its being recast, as follows:
If disagreement should arise which
Is not included in those to be submitted to
arbitration the contracting parties shall
not resort to any act Of hostility before
they separately or jointly invite. as the
case may necessitate, the formation of an
international commission of inquiry or medi-
alton of one or more friendly powers. this
requisition to take place II necessary in
accordance with article VIII of The Hague
convention providing for peaceful settle
ment of international conflicts"
On the resumption of the sessions of the
conference Of the interpariamentary union
today the above was unanimously adopted
after speeches by former Austrian Minister
of Commerce Won Plener and Mr.. Bryan,
warmly supporting the amended rider. The
latter said that his amendment was aimed
at widening the scope of arbitration so as
to include questions of national honor the
chances being a hundred to one that the
proposed investigation of facts would also
settle any question of national honor. II
the hand of war Gould be stayed till the
conscience awakened, wars would become
more remote. The amendment therefore
was long step in the direction of peace.
Bryan Was Eloquent.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was brief, but 1t was
eloquent and aroused much enthusiasm
among the delegates.
Baron D D'Estournelles De Constant, head
of the French delegation, subsequently
opened the debate on the limitation of
military and naval forces He declared that
* the powers were undecided among them
selves how to act for their common inter-
ests they would be forced to do SO, first
by bankruptcy and then by revolution. He
said that Limitation of armaments had no
connection with the chfmera of disarr,a-
ment.e The arguments against disarmament
were based on the, augmented expenditure
of the powers. The augmentations IN the
United States were due to the unfortunate
example of Europe, but in proportion to
the population the American forces had
not been increased unreasonably and the
expenditure had been augmented proper
tionately, the armaments proving the inap-
titude of the Americans to transform them
selves into a nation of soldiers
Germany, continued the baron, commits
the grave fault Of struggling with the United
States for naval pre-eminence and thus d.
vdes her energies, both on land and sea,
uselessly, for the American states we're
united and inaccessible, while the states of
Europe were divided and will always be
menaced by the possibility OF a coalition
against them.
