IDENTIFICATION OF
DEAD IS PATHETIC
Bereaved Chicagoans Give
Way to Grief When Rela
tives Found in Morgue.
ENTIRE FAMILIES ARE DEAD
Many Mourners Collapse, Others
Becoming Hysterical and Fran
tic; Thousands' Line Up to
! View Eastland Victims.
CHICAGO, July 25. Sorrow which
epread over the city with the Eastland
disaster and engulfed thousands of
homes hung lowest today over the si
lent forms of the victims in the drill
hall of the Second Regiment Armory.
Chicago's temporary morgue.
Side by side they lay, from one end
of the hall to the other, with narrow
pathways between, along which slowly
walked hundreds of anxious persons
reeking to identify a missing loved one.
Time and again a group would pause
beside a pitiful bundle. There would
be a gasp, a low-voiced exclamation, a
flow of tears, and another would be
taken from the list of unidentified dead
and placed in the known column.
All through the night load after load
of bodies were received at the morgue,
and through the morning at less fre
quent Intervals the procession con
tinued. Street Crowded With Hearses.
While the victims were being iden
tified. 50 undertakers and 40 embalmers.
who had volunteered at the call of
Coroner Hoffman, worked rapidly in a
space at the north end of the hall pre
paring the bodies for burial.
tiss-street front of the Armory became
crowded with hearses, and the Incom
ing stream of bodies from the impro
vised morgues and from the overturned
vessel was passed by another line of
bodies, identified and in the keeping of
an undertaker.
Before a body was passed out the
identification was recorded by a dep
uty Coroner and the name of the near
est relative placed on file. So perfect
had been the preparatory work of the
Coroner that from noon until 1 o'clock
more than 100 bodies were taken away
and a few hours later fewer than 200
bodies remained in the temporary
morgue.
Trong Waits at Armory.
Approximately 5000 persons, most of
them friends or relatives of victims,
had gathered about the Armory be
fore noon today. Two and three
abreast, the lines extended along two
sides of the Armory square and a
block ' east in Randolph street.
Two and three hundred at a time
they were admitted, and when all of
one group had passed out another took
its place.
In the -Red- Cross room there were
many scenes of sorrow so deep as to
bring tears to the eyes of those who
ministered to the afflicted. One woman
well along in years kept repeating:
"All gone, husband, son, his wife and
their two children. . -
Time after time she said this, but
no tears fell, and at last she slowly
left the place, still murmuring, "All
gone.''
Husband, Wife and Child Dead.
In the outgoing stream was one un
dertaker's litter containing husband,
wife .and child. Identification was
made by & friend, who had recognized
the features of the little girl, and then
had identified the parents.
Several times through the day the
nurses were obliged to quiet some who
became hysterical. Several women
fainted, some few screamed and one
man, bowed with years, screamed and
struggled with those about him when
he saw the bodies of his wife and chil
dren. "The men are the hardest to control
when they do give way," said the
physician in charge of the relief-room.
The scene was 'compared by Coroner's
men and police officials, who witnessed
both, to the identification of the bodies
of the victims of the Iroquois Theater
lire.
Scene Compared With Previous One,
"There is less hysteria, less violent
expression of grief here," said James
Markham, secretary of the detective
bureau. "I think it is because the dead
here seem more peaceful. They are not
disfigured as were those others."
Late in the afternoon, when many
of the bodies had been removed from
the temporary morgue. Coroner Hoff
man announced that should any of
the bodies be unidentified he would
call on the civic organizations of the
city to Join with the Western Electric
Company in a public funeral for the
unnamed victims so that none should
be uncared for.
WHO IS TO BLAME? ASKED

special Federal grand Jury on Thurs
day. The city authorities also are pre
paring for an inquiry. Meanwhile
State's Attorney Hoyne already has
started a grand Jury action. He today
interrogated some of the ship's crew,
30 of whom were taken into custody
Saturday night and distributed among
the police stations.
Was there a laxity on the part of
the Federal officials? The two grand
Juries will delve Into this question,
which is expected to form one branch
of the investigations.
Federal Inspection Bureau Accused.
In a statement issued tonight. State's
Attorney Hoyne said regarding his in
vestigation of the cause of the acci
dent: "We insist that a considerable por
tion of the blame for the Eastland dis
aster rests on the United States In
spection Bureau. If the inspectors of
the bureau had done their duty the
accident could not have occurred.
"We know that the ship was consid
ered unsafe by the inspectors, because
there are letters on file in Washington
which predicted yesterday's occurrence.
I have copies of these letters and may
introduce them before the Coroner's
Inquest."
TRAGEDY BRINGS HEROES
(Continued From First Page.)
tStrogl and his wife, married five
months, and Alfred Anderson, rMs wife
and 7-year-old son, were the victims.
People Straggle Under Water.
G. S. Prltchard saved his wife and
son by supporting them on deckchairs
while he swarr? and trod water.
"I could feel dozens of living per
sons churning the water under me,"
he said. "One woman grasped my legs,
but the bodies of others pushed her
away or I should have perished."
J. N. Johnson In three attempts to
save his wife and little daughter was
finally forced to land without either.
Johnson, on three different occasions,
had succeeded in getting hold of. his
wife, but. she naa pulled from, his
grasp, the third time going down never
to reappear. His baby was clinging to
his neck, but when near shore was
pulled from him and owing to exhaus
tion he was forced to swim hard to
save himself. On arriving at home "he
was told that his baby had been saved
but that his wife drowned.
Man "Ready In Bathing Soil.
A. W. Perkins, an express driver, who
had Just been excused from duty, had
put on his bathing suit and his street
clothes, preparatory to a day at the
beach. He saw the Eastland topple
over. Shedding his outer garments he
plunged in and grasped two women, but
was forced to release one. He saved
the other. He Immediately plunged
back into the river and brought out
two girls.
S. S. Mattocks, of the American Ex
press Company, with another man
whose name was not learned, did val
iant rescue work in an unusual way.
They threw a boatload of planks to the
struggling victims. and afterwards
picked up man;- who were thus enabled
to keep afloat.
Edward Atkln also proved himself a
hero- in a modest way. He found a
small boat under the Clark-street
bridge and rescued 20 persons. Three
insensible women he brought out were
restored to life with pulmotors.
Woman Shows Presence of Mind.
Courage and presence of mind saved
the life of Mrs. Walter Hubbard. "I
had presence of mind to hold my breath
when I was thrown Into the river," she
said. "My head felt as if it would
burst, but I realized my life depended
upon retaining my senses. I fought
until I got from under a sofa that had
fallen on me.
"Then I prayed, oh, how I prayed,
but kept my eyes open and kept my
senses, too. Finally, some one threw
me a life preserver and a man leaning
from somewhere hooked me with his
umbrella and I was saved."
Mrs. Hubbard's daughter Ruth, aged
22, is among the missing.

WORK HAS MOVED RAPIDLY
Seven Divers Make Repeated De
scents Into Hull, While River Is
Dragged Systematically by
Police Patrols.
CHICAGO. July 25. Today dawned
cool and cloudy ana the batteries of
electric lights tnat had guided the
workers on the prostrated steamer
Eastland all night began to go out one
by one. The steamer lay on her side
close to. the south bank of the river at
Clark street, like some giant fish that
had been drawn from the. water.
Watchers who thronged the bridges
at Clark street. Fifth avenue and State
street saw that the boat's position had
not shitted during the night. The river
current which ordinarily is from six
to eight miles anhour had been shut
off to about one mile an hour by the
closing of the gates at Lock port- This
not only kept the great steamer s hull
teady, but prevented drifting away
of bodies that were still in her hold or
pinned down In the mud underneath
her left side.
Carious Crowd Kent Back. '
Shifts of policemen and firemen that
had been on guard duty at the bridges
or busy on the side of the sunken boat
aiding in taking out bodies all during
the night were relieved about S A. M.
by other men. The police lines were
tightly drawn from Lake to Rush
street. This kept the bridge at Clark
street free of curious crowds, and al
lowed those whose duties called tem
there unhampered freedom.
The result was that the forenoon s
work moved rapidly and smoothly.
Several divers had brought up before
10 o clock today 42 bodies. They were
taken to the south side of the river at
La Salle street and thence conveyed to
the Second Kegiment Armory, where
other bodies picked from the water or
the boat had been taken over night.
The bodies brought up this morning
made a total of 88 taken out since last
midnight.
Search by Boat Fruitless.
Four police patrol boats cruised
around the vicinity of the Eastland for
hours, using trawl lines with heavy
hooks, trying to bring out bodies that
possibly had drifted away from the
steamer. Their search, however, was
fruitless. Seven divers made repeated
descents into the Eastland's hull, but
several hours passed without the dis
covery of any more bodies.
One of the divers. Louis Kruger, said
he thought several score bodies were
still pinned under the boat, the left
side of which, he said, was resting in
about four feet of mud. These bodies
cannot be reckoned with until after
the Coroner's Inquest, when efforts will
probably be at once made to right the
vessel.
Manager Greenebaum. of the Indiana
Transportation Company, which had
leased the steamer for the Western
Electric Company's excursion, was early
at his office. From his window, he
overlooked with grave face the scene
in the river below, and said:
"It was a terrible calamity. I can
add nothing to what I said yesterday
and can only repeat my deep regret at
what happened. As 1 said before, the
Government inspectors' O. K. on the
passengers taken aboard seemed assur
ance that all was well and the catas
trophe came to us as a terrible shock
and surprise."
GRAIN CROP DAMAGE LIGHT
Walla Walla Ileports Yield Nearly
Normal Despite Weather.
WALLA WALLA. Wash, July 25
(Special.) With one-fifth of the grain
crop of the Walla Walla county In the
sack, dealers and farmers today estl
mated the hot wind and heavy rain
damage of two weeks ago would not re
duce the total as much as first feared.
The estimate now is that the crop will
be about five per cent less than last
year.
The damage cut the crop of the coun
ty about 15 per cent, according to pre
harvest expectations. No abnormal
yields have been reported yet this year
but the yields are averaging up well
some oi tne iigm lana sections are
showing excellent returns. In the foot
hills the grain is not yet ready for
cutting, but harvesters will start there
next week. Elsewhere the work Is full
under way.

CENTRALIA, Wash.. July 25. (Spe

the Centralia Commercial Club, will
leave for Montana shortly after August
1 to accept a position as secretary of
the newly organized Commercial Club
at Roundup. Mr. Robinson returned
yesterday from Camp Louis Hart,
where he was with Company M. to
make preparations for leaving.
He recently tendered his resignation
as secretary of the Centralia club, but
strong pressure was being brought on
him to reconsider when he announced
his Roundup appointment. He had an
nounced his candidacy for Mayor and

TIMBER CUTTING DEFENDED
Forest Service Says Alaska Supply
Is Xot Menaced by Permit.
WASHINGTON. July 25 The United
btates forest service, in a bulletin
today, combats the Idea that the cut
ting of 85.000,000 feet of lumber in
the Chugach forest for the Alaska
railroad, permit for which has been
granted by tne district forester at
Portland, will ruin the forest. It says
that this cutting will be only about
one-tenth of the annual growth of the
Alaska forests.
"It is estimated." says the bulletin
"that more than 800,000.000 feet could
be cut every year forever without
lessening Te Alaska forests."
BRITONS MISS AMERICANS
Resorts Usually So Popular With
Tourists Feel Loss.
ILFRACOMBE, England, July 7.
(correspondence of the Associated
Press.) "You are the first American
wo have seen this season and. a year
lmany of them," said the manager of a
well-known inn in this Devon town
I so popular with 'tourists. It is the same
story in Somerset. Warwickshire, Devon
or Cornwall. In Stratford the manager
showed the register for this week last
year and counted 48 American names.
The register was full of "New York."
"Boston." "Chicago." ';Memphis" and
few other than American guests were
recorded there. Now the fear of raids
on the east coast has helped these
western resorts a little, but the easy
spending American tourist is sorely
missed and the regular coach trips have
been abandoned.
The thatched roofs, rose-covered
walls, picturesque moors, rocky cliffs
and all the attractions for tourists are
here, of course, but those liberal Ameri
can tips are no longer received.
Still if the Americans were here how
they would find fault with the pass
port regulations, and the necessity of
reporting at the police station in every
town you visit and the ban on cameras
and the upset train schedules and the
lack of German wares, particularly in
tne cnemntr or druggists shops.
