DIVERS GROW SICK

Work Continues All Night Under Glare of Powerful Lights Nets Across the River Catch Bodies.

CHICAGO, July 26. With the bodies of S16 victims of the steamer Eastland accounted for early , today, tne full horror of the capsizing of the big lake Hner with its cargo of merry picnickers in the Chicago river, was still untold. There were still missing 462 men, women and children, whose fate was unknown. Under the glare of more than 100 electric arc lights the grewsome work of removing bodies from the overturned hull of the sunken steamer went on throughout the night. Crews of divers worked in relays searching the under side of the boat, while police, firemen and coroner's deputies waited in boats to relieve the under-water workers of their burdens and rush them to the second regiment armory. Crowds Watch Work. All through the night there was a solemn procession of sad faced seekers after relatives and friends, filing through the silent halls of the huge building, peering into the upturned faces of the bodies. A hysterical laugh, a scream or. a thud as some man or woman fainted, announced that another of the bodies, had been identified.

An official statement issued at the armory gave the following figures: . Bodies of identified victims, 802. Bodies of unidentified victims, 14. Missing and fate unknown, 462. Probable death list 1,000 to 1,200. When day dawned, a raw summer day without sun, a fresh crew of searchers took up the task of remoxing bodies from the submerged lower decks and the hold of the vessel. Nearly a score of workers fainted from exhaustion and the strain of seeing and handling one horrible find after another. Work Sickens Divers. Divers from other lake ports arrived in Chicago last night and more reported that they were on their way here today to help in the work of retrieving bodies. Eight Chicago divers worked from Saturday morning until last night without intermission. Several of these men were ill today as the result of their labors. It was planned to start the work of raising the overturned steamer later today. This work, it was figured, would require at least three days, and until this is done and the Chicago river has been dragged its full length for bodies that have floated away from the scene of the disaster, the complete death list will not be known. Life-nets that were suspended from every bridge had not been raised early

MORMON CHIEF IS CLOSELY GUARDED

i fi 1

DENVER. Col., July 26. Joseph Smith, the head of the Mormon church is being closely guarded, since threats were received here by the Department of Jutsice to kidnap Smith and hold him for a $100,000 ransom in the Hole In the Wall country in Wyoming. The plot has been laid to the three daylight robbers who held up 125 tourists in Yellowstone Park on July 9, and who more recently exacted a $6,000 ransom for the release of A. E. Empey, a wealthy cattleman living near Idaho Falls, Idaho. A posse is Kcouring the country in an effort to locate the bandits.

STRONG FORTS NEAR WARSAW BOW TO KAISER Berlin Expects Complete Victory Over Russia and Turns Attention to Great Battle in West.

BERLIN, (By Wireless) July 26 Pultusk and Rosan, two of Russia's strongest fortresses on the Marew river have been captured by the Germans it was officially . announced today. These strongholds protected Warsaw from the northeast and their fall Is expected to facilitate the campaign against the Polish capital. Saturday's official announcement stated that both fortresses had been stormed but it was not until today that their actual capture became known. A passage of the Marew River has been forced above Ostrolenka it was officially announced today by the German general staff, and troops are pushing southward toward the Bug river to join forces with the army that crossed the Marew between Ostrolenka and Pultusk. The crossing of the Marew above Ostrolenka by troops under General Von Gallwitz draws still closer the circle which the Teutonic allies are trying to establish around Warsaw. The city is gay with flags and milltry bands are playing as crowds march through the streets in celebration of the continued advance of Field Marshal Von Tindenburg. Military experts now expect a complete victory over Russia and look for the next great battle in the West, where the Germans will soon be felt by the allies.

PWCSS PONtATOWSni PRINCESS PONIATOWSKI. PARIS, July 26. The name of Prince Poniatowski has been mentioned frequently as the future king of Poland, should the Allies win. This would be popular In France but unpopular in other sections as the future queen is an American girl, the former Miss Helen Sperry of Syockton, Cal. The Poniatowski house dates from the 18th century. The prince was born in Paris in 1864 and married Miss Sperry in 1894.

. The fact that the crew all escaped was assued to be proof that the ship was warned. Consequently the case does not come within the field of the recent American note to German. The fact however, that the United States government declined to admit the right of the Germans to sink the William T.

each bridge shows every time an ob

ject strikes these nets. Bridge tenders

today declared that these lights have flashed scores of times.

These nets were to be raised later

today and they were expected to give

up many of the 462 missing victims of the disaster.

Start Relief Fund. While the work of rescuing bodies was continuing, city authorities were

extending their best efforts to raising an enormous relief fund. Aided by

the newspapers, a fund of nearly $300,000 had been subscribed today, with the prospects of the total exceeding

$1,000,000 before all the bodies of the victims were buried. A committee of nearly 100 citizens, working under the direction of Acting Mayor Moorehouse was in charge of the work of raising

the fund. Subscriptions of $1,000 each

were announced by the owners of three morning newspapers to start the fund. A cablegram received from Sir

Thomas Lipton pledging another $1,-

000 was received today.

STARR CHARTERED

ILL-FATED GRAFT

In May, 1913, the Starr Piano com

pany, of this city, chartered the ill-

fated steamer Eastland for an excurs

ion on Lake Erie starting from Cleveland. There were at that time 900 piano salesmen and officials of piano companies on board as the excursion was given complimentary to the Na

tional Piano Manufacturers association

and the National Association of Piano Dealers, which was in convention at

Cleveland at that time.

Henry Gennett and his two sons

Harry and Fred, were on board the

steamer at the time. At that time there was no criticism of the boat, according to the Gennetts this morning.
