By Flood; Seek Others

AUSTIN, Pa, Oct. 1.-More than
seventy SCARED and battered bodies
victims of fire and flood, which
devastated Austin late Saturday-lay
in an improvised morgue on the hill
side today while an army of more
than 500 relief workers tore at the
ruins vainly hoping to save victims
in whom the spark of life yet re-
mained.
More than 1000 are homeless, suf-
fering from exposure. although they
are being ably cared for. A detach-
ment of State constabulary patrols
the scene of disaster with orders to
shoot down vandals or looters of the
dead.
Rescue workers who labored all
night under the flickering glow of
huge bonfires, declare that the dead
may go to 300 or may fall far under
that estimate. They admitted their
inability to set a definite figure

 At the present time, the pay Of men employed in and about Court land, drawing salaries amounts 10 approximately SS500 per month, of which the Great Western Copper company is paying to their 75 reg ulSr employees, S6500 per month.
 From the E. ?. G s.

 Part Of the inquiry was given to hearing charges Of immortality at the institution. IL shows through one witness that immortality has been go- ing on for several years, with the knowledge of the superintendents. who said they had no power to stop it.
 The investigation also shows that Naring Wilkinson was retired ss principal on July 2s, 1908, and placed on pension as principal emeritus at s2.O00 per year, when no law exists for such action.
