Five Bodies Identified.

Many Of those who escaped. becoming
dazed or hysterical through the expe
rience, wandered about the city all day
before reporting to the bureau Of ident-
fication which had been established at
the press club Of St Louis. This party
was responsible for the excess number
Of dead given in the early estimates OF
the loss of life.
Five Of the seven bodies recovered have
been Identified. Two others are burned
beyond recognition. The cause Of the fire
and the reason for its late discovery are
still mysteries. Firemen were today still
pouring streams of water into the ruins,
and here and there flames continued to
crop out The fire chief declared IL
would in all probability be several days
before tina rims could be thoroughly
pried into and all the bodies recovered.
Until then the exact number Of dead will
not be known.

women doing mems work, and the wom-
en- apparently enjoy it also.

tells were forced to close yesterday ow-
ing to lack of help in engine rooms and
other places where heavy manual labor
is required.
