Sc VERAL VICTIMS
BLOWN 10 ATOMS
Number Of Dead is Not YET
Known Property Loss
Amounts to Million.


NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Three sepa-
rate Investigations were started this
morning to Ak responsibility for
the dynamite explosion in New York
1iarbor yesterday. One IS beins
conducted by a coroner's jury Of
Jersey city, another by the inspector
of ccmbustIbles, and the third by
Prosecutor Garven, OF Hudson
county, y. J. Federal authorities
will assist In all the investigations.
Definite estimates of the number
of the dead are sill impossible.
Only five bodies had been recovered
un to noon and the names of nrne
men missing were .known. Nearly
a score OF l6ihorers whose names are
unknown, and who were on the end
OF the pier when he explosion oc-
Cured, are unaccuoted for. The
coroners belteye that at least ten
classed as missing were Blown to
atoms. None of the injured died
during the night.
The property loss is estimated at
close to million dollars. the heav-
lest sufferer being the Central Rail-
road COMPANY Of New Jersey, at
whose docks the disaster occurred.
Its loss is placed at 100000. The
United States government is also a
heavy loser, with dameag at Ellis,
Governors and Bedlose islands.
The exact cause Of the blast has
not been definitely established. One
of the theories is an explosion OF
gasoline on tug boat or a boiler
explosion on lighter set off the
dynamite.
