FOURTEEN VICTIMS
Now Numbered in the Elevator Fire
At Riehford, VI.

Richford, VT, Oct S-The ruins Of
the grain elevator which smouldercd
and burned yesterday, causing the
| death of more than a dozen employees,
were burning too fiercely at dawn to-
| day to permit a start being made in
the search for the bodies OF the vic
| tins. but careful canvas among those
who escaped indicated that the death
| list had been increased to IA, as Ell
| mer Draper. a foreman, could not be
found. Early today the residence of
r. H. Grfco, close to the ruins, caught
fire and was destroyed, bringing the
| total loss from the elevator fire to
about $425.OOO.
The walls of the elevator did not
fall last night and lowered menacingly
above the scene. The morning breeze,
however. shook the charred timbers
and just before daylight they tumbled
over with a laundering crash and once
more the ,rnins., were ataame. No one
was injured, hoWeyer, and all that
could he done was to walt until the

No move toward an investigation Of
the elevator explosion and the death OF
the Ii victims had been as yet but the
selectmen will probably take some ac-
ton in this direction tomorrow. Only
one theory of the cause of the explo-
sion is held, that is that the grain dust
and chaff which had been accumulat-

ed and igniting spontaneously created
explosive gases.

THE LYNN STRIKE.
Arbitration Is Being Urged, But Settle.
ment Hangs Fire.

Lynn, Mass, Oct. S.--Negotiations
towards reaching an agreement by
W hich the strike Of lasters, which has
well-nigh crippled the shoe nianufac-
turing industry in this city, were again
postponed tonight by the inability Of
Arthur Caunt to communicate with
his brother, Joseph Caunt, and get an
answer from him to the tentative
agreement drawn up today by the ar
hitration conference. Arthur Cannt.
however, stated tonight that he would
be able 10 reach his brother by wire
about . o'clock tomorrow morning. and
a meeting of the arbitration committee
win be called at the mayors Office ut
that time, to receive the answer OF tho
Caunt firm and the striking unions to
the arbitration proposition.
After the tentative agreement mad
been drawn up at the conference.
meeting Of the executive board Of the
unions was called to decide on what
answer would be given by the strikers
After reaching an agreement the bust
ness agents Of both unions went to the
mayors office to submit their answer.
AS no statement from the Caunt firm
was forthcoming, however, the answer
Of the unions was not disclosed. and
the meeting was postponed until to-
morrow morning.
Although the union officials we're
very retlcent tonight regarding their
attitude on the arbitration, it is under
stood that the strikers will not arpi-
'rate without making strong demands
On the manufacturers. It was said to-
night by reliable authority that one
Of the conditions the strikers would
require was that every. man be taken
back to work Immediately, Including
all the men out from the CauAt fac
tory.
In the something over 40 shoe fac
tories IT, this city there are not more
than so lasters at work. The few fac
tories that are open at all are only op-
Grating one or two departments and il
the strike is not brought to a close by
the end Of the week every shoe factory
in Lynn will be shut down.
That serious outbreaks by the iawless
element among the strikers is .feared,
was made evident tonight, when May
| or Porter in message to the CHIEF Of
police stated that since the strike be-
gan, dealers in firearms have heen
making unusually large sales of .revol-
vers and ammunition, and urged the
police to take steps to suppress the sale
of firearms in the city while the strike
Is in progress.
