Wreck Before Draw Can be Closed FIFTY-THREE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN KILLED Tin- First Car Striking the Guard Hail, Jumps the Track and Others Follow Two ore Instantly Sub merged, While the Tliinl Catching on the Kdge of the Ahutmeut, Hangs Suspended Over the Abyss. The Scene of the Awful Accident is on the West Jersey and Seashore Electric Brunch of the Pennsylva nia System Horrible and Pathetic Scenes Divers Work Amid the Submerged Wreckage. (By the Associated Press.) Atlantic City, N. J., Oci. 2i. At 1 o'clock today titty-three bodies had been received from the two cars of 'ho electric line of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, which load ed with men, women and children, dashed into the Thoroughfare, 'and one of the cars, the first to leave the rails on the trestle, had been brought to the shore. Of the dead 29 bodies have been identified. The fact that some bodies were recovered outside of the car leads to the belief that possibly not all those drowned may ever be recov ered. The current at the point where the accident occurred is very strong and it is probable that some bodies may have been carried away and will eventually roach the ocean. A special train from Philadelphia reached the scene of the wreck at 1:20 this morning carrying among others three divers who came down to relieve the men who had been working unceasingly through the night, to recover the bodies of those who had perished in the West Jer sey and Seashore Railway disaster ;:t Thoroughfare last evening. The efforts of the new men re sulted in the bringing to the surface of i line more bodies within a few hours. These were taken to the temporary morgue where they were laid out and tagged with numbers while a crowd surged around the doors anxious to get in and view the bodies. All told, l!7 dead lay in the improvised morgue, and at It) o'clock wretched and suffering persons seek ing lost ones were permitted to en ler the chamber of death. Most heartrending were the scenes and men who had worked with strong arms and hearts to bring the bodies from beneath the Waters in the Thoroughfare were moved to tears. Among the most pathetic cases was that of Samuel McElroy of Phil adelphia, who after a sleepless night, found his family wiped out the disaster, bis wife and five year old daughter lying dead in the morgue and his three year old boy tnlgshlg. When the officials making record of the identification asked for his address the broken hearted man replied: "It was 20'2'J Green street, but I shall never return there. God only knows where 1 shall go." A Pathetic Identification. Almost as pathetic was the iden tilicatiou of Dr. Paul F. Kelsberg of 1421 Girard avenue, Philadelphia, by his brother. From midnight un til down the brother with friends pleaded with the police for admit tance to the morgue, already satis fied from descriptions furnished by the officials that the physician and his wife, Frances, were among the dead. When the party were admit ted they were prepared for the sight that met their gaze both the phy sician and his wife were in the mor gue. One among the rows of bod ies lying covered with sheets was the corpse of Eddie Niess, five years old, of 2147 Sharswood street, Phil adelphia, who waq drowned in the second coach of the Ill-fated train. He came to Atlantic City with his father,' Ernest, who escaped with his life but lies cruelly Injured, at the home of his brother in thlp city. The father, ill and distracted, could not go to the morgue, but his sister-in-law identitied the body. A few minutes after 10 o'clock the wreck ing crew brought from the water the'last car of the train and carried it to land. The wrenched and broken car contained no bodies but three bodies were brought up with the lifting of the car from its bed of mud, which seems to bear out the theory advanced by the police early today that some of the bodies may have lloated out through' the win dows. Mayor Stoy made the following statement today: "At the present time I am not pre pared to say anything concerning1 or tearing upon the cause of this terri ble disaster. An investigation will be conducted, and wherever the blame belongs it will be fixed, and the pub lic may depend upon that. Coroner Gaskill and I are one in this purpose, and no man shall get away from us who may have had anything to do with the calamity, or who may have any light to shed upon it. Coroner Gaskill will, before the days is over, impanel a jury, but neither of us be lieves that it will be possible to hold an inquest until the latter part of the week." THE EARLIER RKPORT OK THUS DISASTER. Atlantic City, X. J., Oct. 29. As the details of yesterday's terrible wreck on the electric line of the West Jersey & Seashore Railroad devel oped during the night, the disaster became more appalling. The total number of persons whose lives were snuffed out almost instantly is prob ably sixty-six, with nearly a score injured, several of whom, it is thought, will die. Forty-eight bodies already have been brought to the sur face. There were ninety-one persons on the train, fifteen passes and seventy-six fares. Twenty-five of this number, have been accounted for, which, with the bodies recovered, bring the total to seventy-three. This leaves eighteen persons not accounted for, and which are supposed to have been drowned. It is possible that some of these may never be found, as it is the belief of the divers that some of the bodies floated through the broken windows out into the At lantic. At police headquarters this morn ing it was stated that the effects found on bodies were not sufficient to permit of identification of more than six, and that identification will have to be made by personal inspec tion. All t lie bodies are being em balmed. The early morning trains brought many persons from Philadel phia and other points, who were anx ious to learn if a dear one had been swept to death by the awful disaster. A List of the Dead.

MOVEMENT Enthusiastic Addresses by Prominent! Citizens Announcement Made that Canvass for Subscriptions to Build ilia; Fund Will Begin in a Few Days At Least 850.000 Wanted. Governor Glenn whs the brim al speaker yesterday afternoon at the mass meeting held a! Metropolitan Hall for the purpose of launching the movement for the erection of a Y. M. C. A. building In Raleigh. There were probably three hundred people present, and many of the speakers had expressed their gratification at the large and representative attend ance. However, when the governor arose to deliver the closing address he declared thai he could not agree with those speakers who had lire ceded him in the matter of gratifica tion at the large attendance. The fact was. he felt greatly disappointed because the hall and the galleries were not packed. He regarded the attendance as nothing like what it should have been, in view of the great purpose for which the meeting had been called and the wide adver tising it had received. He said it was a sore disappointment for him to come to the mass meeting for the cause of a Y. M. C. A. and find such a poor representation of the citizen ship of the city. The governor launched out into a vigorous plea for the movement, de claring that the time was, in his opinion, ripe for such a work In Raleigh. He regretted that Raleigh was so far behind in this work as to be about the only capital city in the United States that has not a Y. M. C. A. and a Y. M. C. A. building. He told of the ;tood work that had been done by the Y. M. C. A. at Winston Salem work that hjis been accom plished, he said, under his personal observation during eighteen ' years that he served as a director of the institution. He said that when ho was elected governor he thought that his princi pal work would be to sit at his desk in the executive office and sign his name to state papers and orders, but that when he came to get out among the people and observe the great need there is for a moral uplift among the young men of the state, he saw that there was need for him to get out among the people and do what he could toward their elevation, and he regarded the Y. M. C. A. work of the highest importance in this connec tion, a work entirely separate and distinct from the work of the indi vidual churches. The meeting was presided over by T)r. A. H. Moment as president of the board which had undertaken the work of launching the Y. M .C. A. movement. There were quite a num ber of speakers, among them being Col. F. A. Olds, who is chairman of the committee from the Industrial Club of Raleigh, appointed to push this movement; Rev. J. C. Massee, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church; Dr. I. McK. Pittenger. rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd; Hon. R. H. Battle, Dr. H. A. Royster, Mr. Josephus Daniels, Rev. Mr. Robinson of Central Methodist Church, Rev. W. C. Tyree of. the First Baptist Church, Mr. Joseph G. Brown, and President George T. Winston of the A. & M. College. In his remarks Rev. Mr. Massee declared that in his opinion the time was at hand when the Y. M. C. A. should by all means be established, and that he had made up his mind that if this movement did not ma terialize he would have a gymnasium built In connection with the Taberna cle Church. Dr. Pittenger expressed hearty sympathy w ith the movement. He J declared that in his opinion the peo-1 pie of Raleigh had in voting out the saloons failed to provide any substi-1 tute that would apeal to the social j side of the young men of the city and I be a factor for their moral uplift. Xow that the dispensary was estab lished, he thought that there was a great obligation resting on those same forces which had established the dispensary to provide the Y. M. C. A. He felt, too. that there should be an adequate building provided be (Continued on Page 2.)

The lesson of "The Clansman" was for the negro, not the white man: tlie lesson of "The One Woman" is for the Socialist, not the average citizen. The negroes do not throng to see "The Clansman." the socialists will not line up at "The One Woman" box offices. The play was fairly well staged, but a very noticeable incongruity is the es tablishment of the Temple of Man in the Klondike in l'JOfl, and the neat uni forms of the Brotherhood In that wild territory at that date. 1 could not help wishing all the way (Continued on Page Eight.)
