SPECTRE OF FAMINE
 STALKS AROUND IN AREA

While many generous offers of material relief have been received and trainloads of supplies are on the way, the spectre of famine was abroad tonight, for II the storm continues it may seriously in- terfere with railroad traffic. There is enough food on hand for immediate needs, but it will last only short time.
 As the day wore on the immenslty of the disaster increased rather than diminished Hundreds of bodies were taken to the morgues and rescue squads were constantly finding new victims buried under tons of debris until the blizzard forced them to cease work. There is every reason to believe many more will be recovered
 NO CONCERTED EFFORT YET TOLIST THE DEAD
 No concerted effort has been made as vet to compile list of the dead, as every effort is being made to identify those who perished The condition of many of the bodies makes this exceedingly dlifi- cult and large proportion of those who lost their lives will be buried as
 nameless dead" There is no reason, however, to change the estimate of 2OOO dead and 5000 injured.
 The fires which had been raging for 24 hours in the north end were brought under control early today and the city is no longer menaced by a conflagration. BUSINESS OF CITY NOW
 ENTIRELY SUSPENDED
 While soldiers, sailors and volunteers were searching the ruins of the north end today business was entirely sus- pended. The leading citizens devoted their efforts to organizing work of re- lief and substantial progress was made in this respect.
 Incidents are coming to light every hour which emphasize the fact that life and death go hand in hand. Deaths toe horrible to describe occurred simultane- ously with miraculous escapes A 6-year- old child was blown through -the roof of house, rolled from the roof to the ground and suffered only a few scratches MANY LIVING PERSONS MAY BE IN RUINS
