st. Louis, Mo-, March TO-
The extent of the calamity caus-

early Monday morning, of the
Missouri Athletic club house,
will probably net be known for
several days.
The ruins of the burned build
ing are still too hot to be thor
eughly explored and several
streams of water are kept play

Careful checking of those
known to have been in the club
house at the time of the fire and
those heard from since, indi-
Gates that the death list will
reach 81.
While the search for missing
continues seventeen persons in
jured in the fire were under
treatment at public and private
hospitals.
There was much difficulty in
identifying recovered bodies of
the dead, and some were identi-
fed under two or three different
names.
The blaze was the most serious
as to fatalities of any fire in the
city's history.
The cause of the fire still was
a mystery tonight. Reports that
the blaze was accompanied by a
terrific explosion, indicating that
the fire was due to efforts of
bank robbers were, unconfrmed.
Dramatic escapes were numer-
Gus. One of the most spectacu-

teen men who descended from a

an adjoining building by means
of sheets. One guest escaped by
leaping over chasm ten feet
