Fears Hundred Are Dead.

President Joseph D'Andrea, president of
the Sewer and Tunnel Miners association,
expressed the fear today that the death
list may reach 100. IT am told" he said,
that there were about l75 men working
at the crib when the fire started. If this
proves true the number OF dead will easily
reach 100. Many OF the men who are miss
ing are undoubtedly at the bottom of the
lake and their bodies will probably never
be recovered. Our organization will make
an investigation"
A meeting of South Chicago undertakers
was held today and It was agreed to hold
a single funeral for all the victims, and
to bury them in one big lot with single
monument recounting the nature Of their
death Friends and relatives OF the VIC
tins held a meeting this afternoon. Next
Friday morning a special mass will be
read in all South Chicago Catholic churches
by order of Archbishop Quigley.
A thick. gray mist hanging over the city
today lent the last touch necessary to
complete the gloom Of the scene in the
vicinity OF Murphys morgue, where rest
the bodies OF the victims OF yesterday s
crib fire Inside the undertaking rooms,
like the gransry OF some terrible Blue
beard, rested forty-seven sacks, each con-
tanning the unacceptable body-in many
cases only the torso-of those who met
death in the charnel house IN the lake.
In the street a quiet. grief-stricken crowd
stood talking softly in groups. or ploddins
up and down the slippery walks.

NELSON HOLDS BACK
PURDY NOMINATION
Minnesota Senator Shows
No Sign of Letting Go
His Hold.

Senator Knuta Nelson Of Minnesota IS
hanging on 10 the nomination OF Milton
L. Purdy, the former chief trust buster
OF the administration, with as much
pertinaCity as any bulldog ever dis
played. The result is that Mr. Purdy.
who was long assistant to the Attorney
General, and who was elevated from
that post by the President TO a position
on the Federal district bench in Mime
sofa, is no nearer to confirmation than
he was a year ago. 1t looks as if the
weather would be much colder than uow
before Senator Nelson relinquishes his
grip on the Purdy nomination.
II has been almost a year since tins
President appointed Purdy to the Min
nesota Federal judgeship. He was
named to take the place Of Judge Will
lam Lochren, who resigned March 81.
AS soon as Purdy's name was sent 10 the
Senate Senator Nelson took possession
OF Il and has had it ia his keepinE.
From time to time. IL is given out that
the PuTdy appointment is being investi-
gated, but the investigation is not vIsi-
bic TO the naked eye.
