Twenty Bodies identified, With
Perhaps Forty More in
the Ruins.
AMOUNT OF STORM LOSS
CLIMBS TO $4,000, 900
Workmen Clearing the Streets and
Buildings, and Sanitary Officers
Fight Against Pestilence.

ERIE, Pa, August 5.-WOrking in
relays under a scorching sun. police
firemen and volunteers today continued
their search in the masses of wreckage
piled along Mill creek by Tuesday
nights flush. for the bodies still be-
lieved to be in the debris. Some head
way was made during the night. and
anxious crowds moved from temporary
morgue to temporary morgue every
time the report was spread that another
body had been uncovered. There still
remain. however, great piles of ruins
that have not been explored. and
friends of the many missing persons
shudder when they think of what these
unsightly heaps may hold.
One body was recovered during the
night, that of a foreigner, although
there were many reports of other finds
along the ravine. The body was taken
to Coroner Hanley's morgue, to which
the others had been removed, and ii
was then learned that twenty victims
though it was known that at least fif-
teen more had been. lost.
Think Forty More Lost.
Figures compiled by the authorities lead
to the belief that at least forty others
have been lost, the majority, it is be-
lieved, being in the foreign section around
9Th street, where many foreigners lived
in two or three houses that were washed
away.
Work of clearing up the city was be
gun in earnest this morning. The naval
militia was called out to reinforce the
national guardsmen on duty guarding the
efr{c n6 SiphtceprS kent
away from the working gangs. These
men were detailed in parties under COM
petent foremen so that the best possible
results could be obtained in the Least pos
sible time.
Mayor Stern announced that he had
received offers of relief from many cities
in Pennsylvania, but he thought the city
would be able to take care of its own
expenses. The public eating houses open
ed yesterday were in position to take care
of many persons who had neither food
nor shelter, while charitable people pro-
| vided literally with clothes those who
had lost their all in the torrent.
No More Than 500 Homeless.
There are no more than 500 persons
made homeless and destitute" today
declared Mayor Stern. I'VE have the
situation we'll under control, and eX-
meet to clean up our city in less than
fortnight"
The mayor today walked through the
flood zone, and later said the loss or
city property would not exceed
$500. 900.
| The first funerals of flood victims
will be held tomorrow. Although a
few more of the dead were identified
today, no more bodies were recovered
1--WE have only just begun to hnd
the dead" said Coroner Hanley.
To Prevent Pestilence.
Physicians from the Pennsylvania
health department arrived here during
| the night. and at once took up the
task of safeguarding the. city from
pestilence.
! All persons known to have come in
contact with the filthy flood water
were ordered to. appear, at the office OF
| the Erie health bureau this. afternoon
| for vaccination against typhoid. II

BELATED NEWS.-Readers of the
Herald are now getting valuable in
formation about that phone deal that
readers of The Day Book were told
about nearly two years ago; but read
ers of the other big papers are still
in the dark.
Wednesdays Herald exposed more
of the inside of the deal George Al
bert Johnson, Herald financial man,
told Herald readers that unless the
city consents to the sale of the Auto
matte to the Bell company the Chi
cagO Utilities Co., successor to the
old Chicago Subway Co., will have
to undergo another reorganization.
He says:
''In the plan to sell the telephone
to the Bell interests it is understood
that the Automatic Electric Co.,
manufacturers of the automatic tele-
phone equipment, also viii be sold
to the Bell people. The manufactur-
ing concern is an Independent or
ganization."
Nearly two years ago The Day
Book called attention to the fact that
if the Bell bought the automatic with
the sale would go the right to buy the
Automatic Electric Co. and the pat
ents it owns on automatic equipment.
This is important, because the au-
tomato phone is infinitely superior
to the manual phone used by the Bell
The Bell has now nearly 100000 sub
scnbers in Chicago and is interested
in keeping the old manual phones in
service because of the great expense

involved in throwing them out andi'
substituting the automatic.
If the Bell can put the automatic
out of business and gain control Of 3
automatic patents it can compel the :
people Of Chicago to. go on using the 6
Old-fashiOned, non-secret manual 4
phone, while the important cities Of Z
the world are throwing out the man.
ual and substituting the much more
modern automatic.
Oscar Hewitt, in the same issue Of /
the Herald, publishes a clause from :
the contract whereby the Bell agrees 4
to buy the Automatic and this clause
provides that the Bell shall buy only
if public opinion is favorable to the
sale. d
For two years now the trust press
has been silent, giving both paTtiest
full opportunity to say that there was
no public opinion hostile to the sale
because there was no adverse crid-i
cism in the leading newspapers. All,
of the newspaper publishers have
shut their eyes and ears and stopped3
up their noses so that there nights
be no danger of any of them hearing,
seeing or smelling any public senti-i
ment UnfavOrable to the deal
But The Day Book kept plugging
away, and finally the women's Or
CARNATIONS, labor organizations ands
other bodies representing public SEM
timent got in the game and began
registering that adverse public senti-3
ment Now it is reflected IN counciIil
by the aldermen who are not OWned5
by the Big Interests, and the Bell
company can no longer ignore that
sentiment. The Bel trust is also
slightly embarrassed by the fact that
it has outstanding a promise to the5
federal government to the effect that
it will not push any farther it's tac4
