EXPANSION BROADENS
ON HARDWARE MARKET

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December ia mar
ket signalized by steadying prices has
had an evident effect upon trade
morale in the hardware field during
recent weeks. Buying is becoming
more confident, more general, and with
q little more reach into the future,
Hardware Age will say tomorrow in
its market summary.
The well-maintained pace of retail
trade, with gains over last years fig
ures practically unbroken, has forced
buying in nearly all lines and depart
ments. Conservatism is still the key
note, and even where price moves
promise some speculative gain, the
average purchase is moderate.

LANSING, Mich, December 13.-As
the sorrowful task of probing the ruins
of fire-swept Hotel Kerns went for
ward today, State police listed 26
known dead" with % bodies re-
covered, 16 of them identified.
Eleven bodies, Of which the con-
suming flames left little more than
skeletons, had been taken from the ice
sheeted debris of what once was one
of the State capitals popular meeting
places. All were beyond identification.
except for a few personal effects, such
as rings or other trinkets found with
some Of them.
Dies Of Injuries.
The mortality list among the guests
who sought escape from the flames by
jumping from upper windows to the
street or into the Grand River, which
flows at the rear of the hostelry, was
increased by one as State Representa-
tive D. Knox Hanna OF Tuscola
County died Of his injuries. He was
the seventh member of the State Leg
islature to die, six of them Representa-
tives and one Senator. At least
score of legislators were staying In the
hotel during an extraordinary lame
duck" legislative session neceSsltated
by petitions for recount growing out
of the November 6 election.
The tragedy broke an impending
deadlock in the next House of Repre-
sentatives. Fifty Republicans and so
Democrats were elected or reelected.
Three reelected Republicans and one
reelected Democrat died, leaving the
Democrats theoretically in control
pending special elections, which cam
not be held before the House organ
ties for the regular session in January.
At least three bodies were found in
the ruins this morning and moved to
a temporary morgue set up in a near
by warehouse.
Diver Explores River.
Earl Ewing, a diver, was engaged
last night to explore the depths of the
river. He came up with the report
that he had located one body, but i'm
mediate efforts to bring it to the sur
face were not successful, and Ewing
said he would descend again today.
One of the seven charred bodies in
the temporary morgue set up by the
coroners Office was identified through
a ring as that of David Monroe, the
hotel manager. Several survivors said
they remembered seeing Monroe in the
glare Of the flames staggering through
corridor of the doomed hotel.

Hoover, director of the division OF in

views on the value Of crime news in
the papers.
Madame Minister, who sailed the

the fact that so much American news
(about rs per cent was the figure she
gave) filtering into the Danish papers
is about crime and criminals. Shock
