New York, Oct. 2.—All day long to- day police boats dotted the sove in the river above 157th street, their. crews grappling for bodies. But their efforts were without success, not one body being recovered. Old rivermen who are well acquainted with the treach- erous tides in the Hudson, said they were not surprised, for when the acci- dent occurred the tide was running up stream like a mily race with a brisk wind from the southwest behind it. This would take the bodies far bevond the scene of the diseaster and prob- ably it will be several days before any are found. Crowds Gather Along Waterfront. Along the waterfront in the vicinity of the accident, crowds gathered to- day, eagerly seeking information. Many weeping or ~ anxious women were among them. They were looking for news of relatives or friends who had had shore leave and. should have re- ported on the New Hgmpshire yes- terday evening. The midshipmen on the landing float were courteous in an- swering questions, but when it came to the point of giving news they referred everyone to the officer of the deck on board the battleship. Cause of the Accident. Various versions of how the accident occurred were in circulation today. The generally accepted one, however, was that the barge, heavily loaded with sailors and marines returning from shore leave, was towed into the heavy swells of a passing steamboat. Rising for a moment_ the barge plung- ed into the trough and was swamped. Sharp Calls for Assistance. Instantly the choppy water became { dotted with struggling, shouting men, intermingled with floating packsages, suitcases and personal belongings, that the men-o’-warsmen were taking back to the ship.. The whistle of the little siteam launch which was towing the barge rent the air with sharp stac- cato calls for assistance. Many Sailors and Marines Picked Up. Few Doats were in the vicinity, however, for the river was running in whitecaps, kicked up by the.gtrong wind. What few theére were put out quickly across the 200 yards that separated the capsized craft and the shore. Many of the sailors and ma- rines were pulled aboard these boats, others held tightly to the. swamped barge. Still others, unequal to the ‘battle with the heavy waves and the tide, floated upstream and disappeared. 100,000 PERSONS RECEIVED THE PAPAL BLESSING From Cardinal Vannutelli at Cathedral Dedication in Philadelphia. 3 Philadelphia, Oct. 2.—More than 100.- 000 persons in this city received the papal blessing today from Cardinel | Vincento Vanuutelli, legate of Pope!

Elaborate services marked both cer- emonies. At the entrance of the new cathedral Cardinal Vannutelli was met | by Bishop Ortynski of the local dio- cese, followed by a large retinue of priests. As the papal legate crossed ! the threshold the bishop knelt before | him and offered his elaborate crozier | as a token of obeisance to the Church of Rome. Metropolitan Szeptycki, who presided at the services, was assisted by Arch- bishop Faleonio and Archbishop Ryan. | The congregations of six other churches, including the one in the Ital- | fan district and an African Roman | Catholic ohurch, were visited during the day by Cardinal Vannutelll.

LOS ANGELES TIMESWRECKED Nineteen of the Employn of a Cali fornia Morfiing Paper Buried in the Ruins—Five Bodies Recovered. TLos Angeles, Cal., Oct. 2—A large force of workmen, after digging for thirty hours into the debris of the Times building, wreckad by an explo-. sion Saturday morning, have unearthed five of the nineteen bodies buried in the ruins.

One of the suspects is an alleged anarchist, Martin EKagan. In the hope of obtaining information as to the perpetrators of the outrage, Mayor Alexander increased the city's offer of reward today to $10,000, This, together with the offers of lo- cals newspapers and labor organiza- tions, whose leaders have announced a determination to assist in the search for the criminals, raises the ~total amount of rawards to $18.500. The city’s offer is intended to tempt anyone having knowledge of a dynamite con- spiracy to divulge the secret. There are no conditions. Bodies Burned to Fragments. The body of J. Weslay Reaves, sec- retary to Harry Chandler, is one of those recovered today. Identity was established more by the place in which it was found than by any evidence on the body itself. It was burnzd into fragments, and so were the four other bedies taken out today. The first body was found shortly af- ter 3 o'clock this morning and betsveen that ‘time and 7.30 o'clock three more were recovered, all burned ‘heyvond One of the hodies is sup- posed to be that of Howard Cordaway, a young stereotyvper. Reaves’ body was found under what had been the general manager’s office. the night editer, who died of his burns and injuries yesterday, arrived .here from San Francisco and short after- ward collapsed from the strain under which she had laborad since learning of the satastrophe. She is in a’ serious condition tonight. son of oneé of the linotypers. whose bodyis belirved to be in the ruvins, also collapsed today.

Paul Flammer, chief of de- tectives, said tonight that W. J. Burns, formerly connected with the San Francisco. graft prosecution, and now head of the/secret ser of the Amer- ican Bankérs’ association, and W. J. Moran of the United States secret ser- vice inspected the ruins of the Times office today and said that in their opin- ion the building was destroyved by a charge of nitro-glycerine. Among the remarkable escapes -hronicled since the explosion and fire were those of George W. Long and his force of four engravers. They were on the sixth floor of the building. In the few seconds intervening between the explosion and the envelopment of the building in flames, the men made their way to safety, while the linotype men and the printers on the second per- ished. Of the engraving force only one was hurt. He has a few bruises on one hand. Similar escapes were made by Mark Bently, chief pressman, and his asso- ciate. Bently and his men were mak- ing ready to run off a section of the Sunday paper when the roar of the explosion sounded and the floors over- head fell. The pressroom was filled by a cloud of smoke and dust. Walls of flames blocked all the doorways and ventilators. Bently said it seemed, as if he and his men were doomed to die in the basement, when one of the men remembered that a hole had been cut near the sidewalk for some téempo- rary purpose. The pressmen made a rush for this avenue of escape and found it, despite the smoke which blinded and almost suffocated them, and one by one they crawled to safety. Most of those who escaped by other exits and by jumping from windows, were only slightly injured, Will Be Confined in Hospital Months. Charles Lovelace, suburban news ed- itor, who was one of the few in the editorial room at the time of the ex- plosion, will be confined to a hospital He was seriously burned.

New York, Oct. 2.—The board of su- pervisors of Nassae county, Iir L, will hold a special meeting- tomorrow * to consider the advisabjlity of .cancelling the permit for the Grand: Prize aunto- mobile race scheduled to be held over the Vanderbilt cup course November 15. Notwithstanding yesterday’s list of four dead and more than twenty injured incident to the Vanderbilt Cup contest, A, R. P. Ardington, general manager of the Long Island parkway, is authority for the statement that nothing but official interference shall stop the Grand Prize. Several drivers booked to participate in the event have demanded more ad- equate ipolicing of the - course, and tonight William Pickens, manager of Barney Oldfield, gave out the folloyw- ing message, which he . says Oldfield sent from Chicago: ' “Withdraw my jentry from Grand Prize race, unless course will be guarded completely by tropps. I am unwilling to risk my neck and car.” Oldfield follows with severe arraignment of the manage- ment of the Vanderbilt race, whom he says “spent nothing to safeguard driv- ers and spectators.” Any move to cancel the race will be ‘bitterly fought by many residents of Nassau county, outside of those di- rectl yinvolved in the cup races. Au- tomobiles have made money for the county in many ways, and the races have always been favored by those who derive the benefit. By these it is argued 'that yesterda)’s casualty list, even though exceptionally large, was not so startling in view of the fact that within a2 few hours something like 100,000 or 200,000 persons congregated in an area alive wit hautomobiles on and off the course. Coming and go- ing mostly from New Yeork city this great army moved about thirty miles at dawn and dusk respectively. It is argued that it is doubtful if this could be done anywhere with less injury and accident than occurred MEXICAN MINE EXPLOSION, 72 MEN DEAD Mostly Mexicans and Japanese—Ten Bodies Brought Out.

New York, Oct. 3.—William Ran- dolph Hearst devotes the entire front page of his American this morning to an attack on Charles F. Murphy, lead- er of Tammany Hall, who is depicted as representing every state officer . nominated by the democratic state convention at Rochester. This is the first indication of Mr. Hearst’s atti- tude in thec oming campaign. There Is No Party involved. “The election of the Murphy ticket,” says The American, “will be a defeat for every American principle for free and just government. © There is no party involved, It is necessary to drive the bosses and criminal trusts out of American politics and any party should be defeated that harhors them.” FIFTY-ONE TOWNS VOTE.TODAY ON THE LICENSE QUESTION. Australian Ballot Will Be Used for First Time in Connecticut. New Haven, Oc —Although the “little town” elections to be held in the state tomorrow will not to any great extent forecast the outcome of The entering class of the | Lhe general election on November 8, they will still ‘¢ of general interest. particularly in those towns where the license question is to be voted on. Tifty-one of the towns will vote en the license question, 31 of which now allow the sale of liguor and 20 which do not. Of those towns, eight did not vote last vear -and for the past year. have stood three for license and-five no license. The fact that the towns voting on the question tomorrow are about evenly divided shows that both the prohibition and liquor interests are active.
