CHICAGO, July 12. —Strength changed from the wheat pit into corn on the Chicago Board of Trade today, and while the former was losing on a nervous market the latter registered good gains. Oats and the other pits were very dull. Wheat prices fluctuated within a comparatively narrow range most of the day, but were from -’sc to l'gc below Saturday's levels at the close. July maintained its level fairly well, however. There was no outside interest in the market, ad local traders were in. dined to exert pressure at times in spite of the Government^report. The weather over the northwestern spring wheat belt has shown no improvement of any importance, and reports from the Southwest are of the same tenor they have been since the movement started there. The fact that an increase of 1,833.000 bushels was recorded in the visible supply today Is some indications of the proportions of the southwestern yield. Cash markets were generally steady to higher because of the good demand for spot wheat, despite the lack of export business. Corn prices advanced rapidly on the bullish items of the Government report, and although they did lose a little in sympathy with wheat, were from 1 to IV4 cents higher than in the previous close. Cash prices were slightly higher, with a good demand reported. Weather conditions showed little change. The crop could stand a little more uniform heat in some sections. There was a decrease of 1,813,000 bushels In the visible supply, but this factor had little to do with the price trend. Oats gained %e on the September and December deliveries arid lost the same fraction on the July position, after fluctuating within a very narrow range thoughout a dull day. Rye showed little change. Provisions were up early In the day, but closed, dull, larg losing 2 points and ribs 25. Chicago Grain Table —July 12— WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close. close.

HUNT BEGUN FOR ARSENAL DEAD (Continued From Page 1) arsenal ruins twelve bodies intact and parts of four others, according to official annoncement. Until these are checked against the list of those missing and of those missing and of those already listed as knojvn dead, the exact casualties will remain indefinite. Ut. The figures on the injured included only the names available at various relief stations and hospitals. Several score others were hurt, given first aid treatment and were able to leave. Their names were not taken, so pressed for time were the relief workers. It was estimated that probably fifty to a hundred cases were handled In that manner. she known dead were: ieut. George W. Bolts Jr., United States Navy, Richmond, Ya. Mrs. Frances Feeney, Brooklyn, N. Y. Harry Christian Brown, pharmacist's mate first-class, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Mason I>. Eidson, Evansville, Ind. Ralph G. Graham, Ft. Worth, Tex. Henry D. Mackert, Richmond Hill, Long Island. John W. Monroe, Richmond, Ya. Ernest Powell, Hamilton, Out. Murray R. Hardacker of Galloway, Fla. Ambulances were waiting nearby to carry the bodies to Brooklyn and squads of motorcycle officers were ready to escort the cavalcaddk Meantime. citizens of nearby towns attempted to resume businesss, but it was a nervous population. People spent most of their time on the straets, while workmen made temporary repairs to damaged buildings in towns as far as ten miles away. Intense Hazards The marines, soldiers and sailors conducted their survey under conditions of intense hazard. All day small ammunition w f as exploding within the arsenal area and from time to time larger shells would burst, throwing debris into the air. Since early morning, however, there had been no major explosions, and it was believed the heavier shells had been spent. Into the uncontrollable barrage the patrols were forced to penetrate, crawling on the ground as they reached the center of the danger zone Patrols were assigned sectors of the arsenal to explore and this afternoon worked largely in the northern section, having entered the eastern side first. When the first bodies were discovered orders were sent to prepare for their removal to the Brooklyn Navy yard, where, beside the bodies taken only Friday from the hull of the wrecked submarine S-51. some of which still remain there, they will await identification. Between 1.000 and 3,000 civilians are in need of aid as a result of the explosion, American Red Cross field agents conceived. Scores of civilian homes were destroyed and others within a radius of seven miles of the arsenal were damaged, the Red Cross learned. Eight of the bodies recovered were • found by a patrol of sailors and marines commanded by Lieut. S. C. Shearer. Shearer in his report, described the location of these bodies. Crushed to Heath The first, that of Pharmacist Brown of New York was found 100 feet west of a structure known as Building C-31. Across his head was a heavy rafter and a broken telegraph pole, which had crushed him to death. The second body—all the others being identified —was found twenty feet west of building C-31. The third was ten feet north; the fourth was described as ‘‘exact location indefinite”; the fifth, sixth and seventh were together 150 feet west of building C-31; the eighth was on a railroad track near by. Os the bodies recovered all but four were described as in good condition although badly charred, while the other four were described as “fragments.” While the . rescue work was in progress Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur and Rear Admiral Charles Plunkett spent half an hour within the arsenal reservation. Town Wracked

With the shell barrage quieting, inhabitants of the village of Mt. Hope returned to their homes today and began reconstruction work. The town had been wracked by concussion at the first great explosion and windows were broken while rooms were littered with fallen plaster. Work gangs began to clear fallen debris from the main street of the town. Similar reconstruction scenes were enacted as people returned to their homes in Hibernia. Rockaway, Marcelle and other hamlets near the scene of the explosion. Roads within two miles of the arsenal were closed to ordinary traffic andSguarded by Marines and State troopers. Ambulances waited to rush the dead to the Brooklyn Navy yard. An American flag waves unscathed from Its mast In the center of the parade ground. Below it is a terrain as wasteswpet as any of the devastated regions of the war zone. Where thirty-six hours ago stood 200 buildings of the Navy deportmentquarters for officers and men and magazines of powder and storage houses of giant shells —there remains but embers stirred spasmodically by some new blast of powder or the touching off of a projectile. The damage, the result of a single bolt of lightning, has been officially estimated at $85,000,000 —$80,000,000 to the Lake Denmark sector and $5,000,000 to the Plcatlnny Army arsenal, which lies a half mile across a valley, over which burning brands were carried by a high wind. According to the official communique, three of the missing are officers. Their fellow officers felt that they are among the dead. These three are Lieutenant Commander E. A. Brown, of the Medical Corps. Capt. Burwqjl Clark, executive officer, of the naval depot, and Lieutenant Schrader of the Marine*. "They are Intelligent gnent/* a fellow officer-explained, '"and jfthey

were alive they would have been able to communicate with us by this lime, I am sure.” Heroic Rescue Lieut. George Botts Jr., of Richmond, Virginia, was repairing his automobile in a building on the Army reservation when the first of the long series of reverberations roared up the valley. He is known to have been killed when the building caved in. His body was recovered after heroic work by Maj. Gorman Brown, commandant and a detail of men, who penetrated the zone while projectiles were raining about them. In this expedition there was also the danger that a store house of 150 tons of TNT near by might let go at any moment. Visitor Killed Another person * known to be dead is Mrs. Frances Feeny, of Brooklyn. She was visiting at Picatinny Arsenal when the first explosion occurred. The building in which she was visiting collapsed and she died from injuries a little later. Her husband, Edward Feeny, a Brooklyn attorney, also was believed to have been a - victim. An automobile. and clothing believed to be his, was found Sunday night. But in that area where powder, bombs and shells have been ripping ghastly craters in the earth, transforming the landscape into a waste of desolation nnd dealing damage for a radius of ten miles, there are certain to be found bodies of several service men, the commanding officers said. 100 in Naval Area Any who were wounded or stunned by the force of the first detonation probably are dead, either the victims of the powder or the shells. Their bodies lie In the litter of the reservation buildings, that no-man’s land where few gaunt twisted steel girders stand out against the sky-line on a background of blackened, burned and pitted landscape. There were something over 100 men, women and children in the Naval area when the bolt of lightning flashed into one of the houses storing inert death charges. Someone sensing the imminent danger rang the fire bell before the blast had time to let go. An Eye-Witness "AVe all started running for the fire lines.” said J. M. Wallace. 4A private of Little Rock 1 , Ark., who was on the hospital porch at the time. "Immediately there was a blinding flash in the heavens and I felt for a minute as if my eyes had been burned out. Then there was a deafening noise and huge black clouds rolled across the sun. “The clouds split and flame shot from them, then I knew what had happened. “I started running aimlessly. I ran for a while and then I got down on my hands and knees and crawled as the shower of projectiles rained down around me. Finally I reached the woods and then I was safe.” That is the same story of the explosion as told by C. R. Rourke of Baltimore and others of the Marine Corps who escaped the explosions and fire. Sentries Posted

After thflt„"rßt blast, which shattered windows for miles around, ex pfosions followed one another In rapid succession. The majority of the 200 buildings on the reservations either housed podwer or shells. There are only twelve buildings standing and these are far removed from the central zone. They contain additional charges of explosives. The others have completely disappeared in the series of concussions which continued. Early Sunday a detachment of Marines and a detail from the Army camp at Governor's Island, New York, arrived and took charge of the Istuation. Sentries were posted every few feet along the highways leading to the arsenals. They stopped all traffio and established a two mile cordon around the danger sector. Physicians, nurses atid other aid arrived throughout the day, ready to .assist the injured or aid when the search for the dead begins. Dover was given a fresh thrill every few minutes as olive drab motor cars of Army dispatch bearers whirled, with sirens tied down, through the busy streets and off toward the arsenals, followed by a cavalcade of speeding ambulances and automobiles of the Red Cross. Fixed Bayonets At the edge of the cordon scores of curious folk gathered. Sentries with fixed bayonets guarded the road to keep them from entering the danger zone. Secretary of War Davis, preceded by a detail of motorcycles, reached the Scene in the early afternoon. He was Joined by Major General Charles P. Summerall, commandant of the Second Corps Area; Brig. Gen. Hugh Drumm., Maj. Gen. C. C. Williams, chief of ordnance and other high army officers. They advanced to the front where they spent over an hour visiting the Army Area and inspecting the many buildings laid waste. Secretary Davis gave out a statement praising co-operation between the Navy and Army In the relief work, commanding the civilian population of the nearby towns and applauding the work done by the American Legion, Red Cross, Salvation Army and other organizations. He said the officers had decided that much of the danger in the Army zone was over and that under strict conditions newspaper correspondents and camera man might visit the scene in charge of army officers. Ambulances Wait Along the narrow ribbon of road, fringed by dense green shrubbery, tents of the Army detachment peeped out. Here and there an ambulance waited, the Salvation Army or the Red Cross ready to render whatever aid might be necessary. The first opening was the Army parade ground, including a brilliant green golf course bathed In a warm sun and fringed by homes of officers. But the well-cared for golf links were punctured In half a dozen spots by hideous holes In which were buried projectiles which had whizzed from the nearby ffavy depot. The home* of an of tbo offloera were, wrecked by the ootxmaelcma

In the quarters of Maj. H. H. Zoring every window had been broken. Roofs Dumped In Further along the toad building after building was seen with the roofs dumped in, as ts some fairy tale giant had stepped from one to the other, crushing them to earth. Trees were broken down and lay along the road. But all along the work of temporary relief was under way. Telephone linesmen were establishing communications, workers were clearing away the debris along the roadway and other minor work was progressing. The partv soon was In the devastated area. The deep hum of a big shell hurling overhead and the lesser reports of shot and shrapnel going off had been heard all along the route. But ns the official party stepped from the automobiles preparatory to the inspection trip, a particularly loud blast was heard and the menacing whine'of a giant projectile sent on Its way echoed overhead and into the nearby hills. Great Craters The party of Army officers and correspondents was In the valley between two hills. On the hillside In front great craters were plainly visible. These spots where the magazines had blown up with their deafening roar and their resultant death. Ct\jy smoke and some small fires marked what once had been a dense green undergrowth. At one side two stacks of an emergency power plant were vjylble through the trees. The • third stack was lying several feet away, crumpled and twisted. Atop the Ijill, standing out gaunt and significant, were the burned, twisted girders of two buildings—merely skeletons on the horizon. Farther up the valley were located the Immense storehouses of the Army. The situation there Is not known, as no ono has entered that zone. Great stores of TNT are kept In what Army officers hope are bomb-proof cellars. There are sev* eral surface buildings containing powder and shells. New Hanger The Immediate danger now is that a tardy shell in the Navy section will be exploded by the heat and rip Into one of these vaults and thus spread fresh and much larger destruction through the ruined district. As long as shells are bursting on the hill this Is a possibility, and none for miles around will be safe. With this possibility facing them few in Dover went to bed Saturday or Sunday nights. They felt that they would never know If It happened hut they were curious enough to want to be around If it came about. So they discussed the possl-’ bility nnd the events of the last two days. Particularly they talked of the incidents of heroism which already are known.

Major a Hero Major Ramsey was the principal popular hero. He first had been reported dead. He was pretty much In the thick of the shelling, but he, like many others miraculously escaped. Only slight cuts which dotted his ruddy face were the marks of his harrowing experience. The uniform which he wore as he told groups of correspondents about the supplies on hand and other salient facts, was spotted with blood, but he was cheerful and minimized his own daring example for his men. Equally heroic was Ca.pt. Otto B. Dowling, commandant of the Naval Arsenal. He stuck to his jiost until there was no hope of saving his charge. A hit of shrapnel struck him down, blinding him temporarily at least In one eye, but he finally managed to escape the raining shell 1 fire and was taken to a hospital. Funeral Today The first of the dead from the explosion was to be given a naval funeral this afternoon. Te was Lieutenant Botts, whose body was the first to be found. At 2:15 p. in., with high ranking officers of the Army and Navy attending, and a guard of Marines acting as escort, services were to be held for him and the body will then be carried to the railway station and taken by train to Richmond, Va., for burial. It developed that the bombardment of sharpnel from (he explosion had tattered all flags at the Army arsenal and a flag to drape his casket had to be borrowed from the American Legion here. STRUCK BY AX, CHARGE Woman Alleges Husband Dealt Blow in Argument. Mrs. Melissa Whitlow, 63, of 619 Abbott St., is at her home today suffering with a severe head wound received Sunday when police say she was struck in the head with an ax In the. hands of her husband, Robert Whitlow, 59.
