the vehicle. He drew the sheet from
the face Of one OF the bodies, and
cried out

showed to-day that ten bodies have
been recovered from the ruins. or
these eight have been identified, q

noon to-day.
In the confusion that has existed
since the first report of deaths in the

The working of digging into the
ruins progressed slowly to-day on ac-
count of the danger from the walls
that threatened to fall any minute.
Diggers were ordered out of the ruins
during the morning and firemen were
assigned to the work OF tearing down
the most dangerous walls.
Early in the day spectators who
were close to the ruins reported that
eleven bodies were lying near the
Washington avenue wall. where the
men evidently had attempted to find
way out. Firemen and police Tee
fused to CONFIRM the report.

Tuesday was Cleanup Day.
Cleanup Day is an annual Atlanta

The Atlanta Womans Club and the

TO catch up the raveled sleave Of win

and garbage from the path Of spring.

VERNOY OUT.
Of RACE, IS
REPORT
To Withdraw After Few Ballots
and Throw Strength to Pace.
Election Unlikely.

The utter collapse of efforts to in
duce William P. Fain to withdraw
after the second or third ballot is
expected to result in the Board of
Police Commissioners facing an abso-
lutte deadlock Tuesday night in the
selection of chairman to succeed
Carlos II. Mason.
The strenuous attempt TO get Fain
out Of the race. engineered by friends
of Robert T. Pace and Mayor Wood
ward, has resulted only in bringing
from Fain an absolute delial that
there is the slightest chance that he
will withdraw, and to narrow the
race down to an endurance contest
between Fain and Pace.
W. A. Vernoy, who gained consid
cradle strength a few days ago
through the bitterness 81 the lsaca
Fain fight, was virtually eliminated
from the fight by developments of
Tuesday, owing to his reported action
in pledging his support to Pace after
a few ballots had proven to him the
futility of his own candidacy.
Indications Favor Fain.
Politicians Tuesday admitted that
indications favor Fain, although those
familiar with the situation are of the
opinion that the board will be forced
to adjourn without electing chair
man. The lineup of the commission
ers at noon gave Fain five votes on
the first ballot, including himself;
Pace four votes on the first ballot,
including himself, and Vernoy three
votes, counting his own.
on the second ballot, one of Yer
noy's supporters. Commissioner
George E. Johnson, will desert the
Vernoy standard and vote for Fain,
giving the latter six votes, or one less
than the number necessary to elect.
This will leave Pace with his origi-
nay four votes and Vernoy with but
two.
Supporters of Pace declared Tues
day that Vernoy had agreed to throw
his own vote. which it is thought will
carry with it the vote of Garner, to
Pace after the second or third ballot.
With this added strength, the Pace
and Fain factions will line up with
six votes each, counting the votes of
the rival candidates; and il takes
seven to elect
Move to Eliminate Fan.
Using the alleged shifting of the
Nernoy strength as a weapon, friends
of Pace and Mayor Woodward en-
deavored TO bring influence to bear
on Fain to induce him to withdraw
from the race after a few ballots, and
allow some of his supporters to vote
for Pace. This report was indus
triously circulated by PAGES support
ers Tuesday and that attempts to
make the deal werwe actually in
progress was tacitly admitted by
Mayor Woodward, who started the
boom for Pace and who has been the
railroad mans staunchest supporter.
The Mayor declared that he expected
Pace to be elected after a very few
ballots had been taken. although he
would not admit that any sort Of
deal had been put through to insure
this belief.
Fain declared emphaticalIy that he
would not be a party to any deal that
contemplated his own withdrawal
from the race.
ANY rumor that ! will withdraw
and throw my support to someone
else S absolutely untrue" he declared.
Il am in the race to stay, and ] think

finish
