Scores of People Work All
Night Long in Prepar-
ing the Bodies.
DEATH LIST MAY REACH zoe
Coroner Dec lares Number of Vic
TINS Were Entirely Burned.
Leaving Only Ashes.
Grewsome Scenes at tho Morgues-
Three Women Claim the Body
of One Boy-MCst of the
Dead Are Females.

Boyertown, Pa, Jan. 17.-This little
population in the opera house horror
Monday night, has turned to the task
of burying it's dead. Because of the
condition Of most of the bodies the
borough authorities have asked the
bereaved relatives to bury the dead
within three days.
All night long scores Of men worked
in the morgues preparing the identi
fled bodies for removal to their late
homes or to the cemetery. AS early as
5 O'Clock long line Of dead wagons
moved here and there about the town
distributing the corpses and before
nightfall most of the dead were ready
for interment.
Three Claim One Body.
The scenes about the morgues were
much the same as the previous day.
Daylight found crowds around the en-
frances clamoring for admittance. At
7 o'clock the doors We're opened and
the grewsome work Of identifying the
dead was again taken up. In one case
there were three claimants for the
body of boy, each one being positive
the body was the one they We're look
ing for.
The death list continues TO grow and
it is now feared that the number OF
victims will reach 1SO and possibly
higher. Mrs. James Fryer, who was
injured by leaping from the burning
building, died, making the total num-
ber Of known dead 172.
Sex of Fifteen Unknown.
Coroner Strasser's official list shows
that of the dead, 112 were females and
forty-five males. There are fifteen
SO badly burned that it is impossible
to distinguish their sex. There are
twenty-five bodies Of children included
in the list of males and females.
The coroner stated that this list Is
by no means complete. 1t will take
another day to complete the house-to-
ho1se canvass in the surrounding viii
lagos. The borough Of Boyertown
mourns the loss Of 11O Of it's people.
The remainder Of the victims hailed
from ten different hamlets, all within
a radius Of five miles.
May Be 200 Victims.
II have every reason to believe"
said the coroner, after making another
examination of the ruins, that the
number of dead may reach nearly 200.
A number of bodies, how many we
will never be able to tell. were prac-
ticaily burned to a crisp. Nothing re-
mains Of them but scattered ashes"
In order to get to the cellar Of the
building as quickly as possible a gang
of men was set to work to clear away
the tons of bricks and mortar. Little
headway was made in identifying the
remainder of the unknown dead. So
far, 115 bodies have been claimed.

Jurors Were Financially Interested.
New York, N. Especial Deputy
Attorney General James w. Osborne in
the supreme court recently declared
that the reason the case of the Ameri-
can Ice company was withdrawn from
the January special grand jury was
that several members of the jury were
financially interested in the company.
One member of the jury, said Mr..
Osborne had a five years contract to
deliver the output of his icehOuses to
the American ice company; another
was, the owner of stock in the Ameri-
can ice securities company, the holding
company of the American ice COM
pany, and another was SO close to a
holder of stock in the ice company
that he told me he could do nothing
against the company.
Mr.. Osborne's statement was made in
opposing a motion of the company for
permission to examine the minutes Of
the grand jury. He said it is the in
tention of the attorney general to re-
fer the matter to another grand jury,
and he asked that the defendant be de-
MED the right to examine the minutes
which contain all the evidence the state
has.

New York.-Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix,
rector of Trinity parish since 1869
and one of the city's most prominent
clergymen, died April 2 at Trinity
rectory in West 25th street, from
heart failure which followed a brief
illness which took a serious turn three
days ago.
1t was on Nov. /, 1927, that DR.. Dix
was born in Trinity parish. He was
graduated from Columbia college in
1848, and from the general theological
seminary in 1862.
European ideas tinged his education,

of the British army, and before he en-.
tered college he Travelled extensively
in the old world. Following his ordi.
nation as a deacon by Bishop Chase
Of New Hampshire in 1852, he was
ordained a priest in Philadelphia by
Bishop Alonzo Potter in 1853, after
which he spent more than year in
Europe. He was appointed as the
minister of Trinity, of which his faith.
er was a vestryman, in 1866, and four
years afterward was made assistant
rector. When Rev. DIR. Berrian died
in 1862 DR.. Dix succeeded him as rec
tor.
Dr. Dix was son of Gen. John A,
Dix, author of the famous order '1f
anyone attempts to haul down the
American flag, shoot him on the spot. ="
The elder Dix was at the time sec
retary of the treasury and on Jan. 30,
1861, directed the message quoted to
Lieut. Caldwell at New Orleans, who
was instructed to supersede the cap
tain Of U. S. revenue cutter who
had refus9ed to bring the vessel or.
dered to New York.

INJURED BY BOMB.
Ten Persons Cut and Bruised and
Building Wrecked.


New York, N. Y.-Ten persons were
cut, bruised and shocked, and three
story house at SO President street, Cliff
ton, N. j., was wrecked Wednesday
night, when some person whose iden-
tity is said to be known by the police
hurled bomb into the drug store Of
Joseph Alterie, which is on the ground
! floor.
So tremendous was the explosion
caused by a bomb of particularly high
power-that the store was completely
demolished and fire started at once
amid the boxes of chemicals in the rear
of the prescription counter For more
than mile the roar of the exploding
missile could be heard, and the en-
tire town turned out, thinking whole
sale attempt to destroy the houses of
the village had been made.
The outrage came after many threat
ening letters addressed to the chemist,
who is foreigner, Week after week
he has received the missives threaten
ing his life and the lives of the men,
bers of his family. He turned all the
notes over to the police
At 11.20 at night the blackmailers
managed to execute their design in
part They failed to kill anyone, but
in the three-story house at Clifton
nearly every tenant was hurt. There
were about IL living there.
The drug store was open at that
hour and crowded. Several persons
were purchasing medicine in the rear,
where Alterie does his business at
night. Something came whirling
through the air, according to the chem.
list, and there was a binding flash,
puff of smoke, and their fire started.
Alterie was whisked off his feet as
If by cyclone and was cut and bruised
in his fall. He was not seriously in
jured. None Of the customers were
hurt to any grave extent.
The police had a long conference
with Mr.. Alterie, who gave them the
names of the men who he believes
wrote the threatening letters, and also
furnished them with the name of the
uan he believes hurled the bomb.
