CHECKING up LISTS OF DEAD
Chicago Disaster Grows In Death
Numbers.

Chicago, July 26.-Enorts are be-
ing continued to remove victims Of
the disaster from the wrecked ship
and to tabulate the dead to deter
mine whether the total death list
would remain around 1000, as many
believed, or creep up to 1900 or
more, as others predict. Registra-
ton of employees by the Western
Electric company, today, showed
nearly 400 missing, but many of the
names of these were included in the
826 bodies already recovered and
identified. 1t was said also that
probably goodly number did not
report, although safe.
Nearly 5000 on Ship.
The probability of the swelling of
the list above 1000 was suggested
by the announcement of detectives
from the state attorneys office that
they had seized the tickets taken
from the passengers boarding the
Eastland for the excursion for Mich
igan City, Ind, and these tickets
numbered 1850. These, it was
pointed out, did not account for chill
dren, musicians and the seventy-two
members of the crew. They estimat-
ed that the total number Of persons
aboard the steamer might have been
1900 or more instead of the 2,4SO
previously announced by officials of
the Indiana Transportation company,
lessees of the ship.
Wrangle Over Jurisdiction.
To the confusion of determining
the total number of lives lost, there
was added today much wrangling
among officers of the different juris-
dictions over tentative plans to right
the Eastland. The vessel still lies
on it's port side where it sank within
twenty feet of the south bank of the
river. Estimates OF the number still
held under water by the upset boat
vary from $50 to 500. Only dozen
bodies were found today by divers.
Crew Were Saved
Chicago, July 24.-There we're ~
men in the crew of the Eastland and
all were reported to have escaped
by swimming to the wharf. Peter
Erickson, an oiler, and Peter Fisher,
second mate, made sensational dives
back into the river and each rescued
two men, who were unconscious
when hurried away by the police.
Dell Fisher, the first mate, not re-
lated to Peter Fisher, told the story.
II believe many more were saved
by other members of the crew." he
said "All worked like heroes; every
man did his bit in the way Of res
cue"
Since II pm. Saturday few bodies
have been recovered from the over
turned Eastland, or the river in that
vicinity. Men at work believe that
many of the bodies never will be
recovered, having been carried into
the lake or the drainage canal. At
that hour no definite estimate of the
exact number of dead would be made
by either Coroner Hoffman, or po-
lice officials, owing to the difference
of opinion as to the number on board
the Eastland when it went down.

Philadelphia. June 3.-Athletic ex-
perts are still talking over the inter-
collegiate games held here recently.
They all agree it was one of the
greatest ever held. Cornell triumphed
overwhelmingly in capturing the
team honors with a total Of IS 1-2
points, but it had to yield great
measure of the glory of victory to
Ted Meredith, Pennsylvania's and the
worlds most wonderful athlete, who
won both the quarter and half mile
races, the former in time equaling the
record Of forty-eight seconds and the
latter in one second outside of the
intercollegiate record Of 1853 2-5.
Meredith, by accomplishing this
superb feat, did what was believed to
be humanity impossible. But the
Quaker f1ier showed that it was pos
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1915-06-03

sib1e and, pitted against the finest and
fastest fields that ever lined up for a
start, he won both races with what
seemed to be consummate .- ease.
Never before had mortal man done
within the space of ninety short min
utes what Meredith did, and it will be
full many day before the achieve
ment is equaled. Meredith was elect
ed to captain the 1915 track team i'm
mediately after the meet. There are
many who believe he will make
wonderful record for himself-one
that will always be remembered by
PENNSYLVANIA men. Meredith has not
definitely decided as to whether he
will compete in the various meets in
New York this summer. Upper illus
tration shows Meredith winning the
$50 yard run at the intercollegiate
meet. -
