FIND Is BODIES
OF FIRE VICTIMS
Number of Known Dead
Grows as SearcherS Reach
Heart of Ruins.
By United Press

By United Press
LANSING, Mich. Dec. 13.-The
number of known dead grew rapidly
this afternoon when searchers
reached the heart of the ruins of
Hotel Kerns.
At l p. m. Lansing morgLas held
the bodies of Is victims, including
those who died or were fatally in
jured in leaping from windows of
the hotel as it burned Tuesday
morning.
In the latter group was Rep. Knox
Hanna, Caro-, who died in hospital
this morning. He was the seventh
fatality among members of the 1884
Legislature who had just convened
in special session when the fire &C.
Cured. The body of Senator John
Leidlein, Saginaw, also was posi-
lively identified today.
In addition to the Is whose bodies
have been positively identified, po-
lice listed IA persons as definitely
missing. They feared that search
of relatives for persons believed in
Lansing at the time of the fire
eventually will disclose the names
of 10 more missing"
This would make a total fatality
list of Al.
Only a faint hope was held out
for identification of most of those
whose bodies were found III the
wreckage Of the hotel. In fairness
to relatives of these victims, police
announced. a mass burial probably
will be held.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Reallz-

congressman who are opposing the
McNutt organization if the congress
sional primary repeal is passed by
the Indiana Legislature, the Hoosier
delegation assembled in Congress-
man Arthur Greenwood's office yes
terday to draft a plan of campaign.
Present were Representatives Mrs.
Virginia Jenckes, Greenwood, Glen
Griswold, James E. Farley and Louis
Ludlow. All are not listed as hos
tile to Gov. Paul v. McNutt, but
they answered the call of the whip
(Greenwood), who said he wanted to
discuss his plans for seeking the
Democratic leadership.
Senator Frederik Van Nuys is
said to be very much on the *, T.
repeal side and also r.. Eearl Peters.
leader of the third faction within
the party.
However, the plank for repeal is in
both the Democratic and Republican
platforms, and both Gov. Nc
Mutt and Omer Jackson, state DEM

city, said that every effort would be
made to live up to the platform
pledges.
Members of Congress we're loath
to discuss the situation, Mr.. Green

1t was learned taat the plan is

a court each day.
The prisoners. she said, rose at 6
a. M, rubbed themselves except on
bath day-once every three weeks
