Smoke Pours From Ruins. Murphysboro, West Frankfort, Par- rish and De Soto, all situated in Illi- nois’ rich coal fields, appeared to have suffered the heaviest loss of lives and the biggest property damage. Smoke still poured from the debris of Murphysboro's smoldering ruins, Wwhile its citlzens searched for dead. Rescue work was greatly hampered by the fire, and it was said that many of the injured were cremated in the blazing debris. National Guard troops have closed all roads to Murphysboro. The city at 5:30 a.m. today was burn- ing in many places. The main busi- ness section was virtually wrecked, and streets were filled with poles and debris and wrecked automobiles. Trainloads of doctors and nurses who arrived from all points were taken to the basement of the Presby- terfan Church, which was not de- stroyed. Corner of City Gone. Bert Scoby, an undertaker from Marion, 111, who came through West Frankfort en routs here, said two undertakers there had 60 or 70 bodies each . “The whole northwest corner of West Frankfort is razed and condi- tions there are as bad as they are Phone Main §108-8109. 604-610 9th St. N.W. $7 rooms. 36 weekly: §10.00 rooms. $6; $14 with toilet, shower and Iavetory, $10; 2 i» om. 50 per cent more.

Eighty-eight bodies were reported to have been taken from the ruins of the school late last night Died Before Help Came. But the rescue work was retarded by lack of propore lightning. Old- fashioned lanterns and pocket flash lights provided the only illumina- tion for the workers, and it is be- lieved that many of the injured little ones died beture they could be reach- ed by the relier parties. Pathetic stories were told by the survivors of what happened around the schoolhouse. Bodies were piled up in the schoolyard where only a few hours before the little ones had been at play. Many of these were not claimed, as their parents, too, were either dead or helpless from in- uries. ' A stirring story was told of the principal, who was seen searching the ruins for his own two children, while at the same time seeking to descue others that had been intrust- ed to his care.
