Z (By Leased Wire to The Tfjjpes) New York, Nov. 21 One hundred and fifty men in squads of thirty "forked all night and today' risking' their lives to rescue the bodies of sixteen victims entombed by the cave-in of a sewer in the course of construction )n Gold street, Brooklyn. : . ff It was not thought that they will find any of the victims alive as they are burled under from fifteen to eighteen feet of mud and earth, through which the water has Altered to a depth of eight feet. . An inquiry Is to begin today to fix the responsibility for the 'elay In be ginning the work of rescue. The ; rescuers, under the d'reetlon ot Dr. Bensol, of the board of health,' are rushing the work upon the bare pos . ibllity that somebody may be found alive. Father Horan, of St. Anne's church, and several other priests remained on the scene all night and today, ready to render service, to the dead or llv- "' ' . , During;, the night the work was con WvoWfctr'v ivr,ttrrMigllf and two flashlights from fire engines. A largo section of the. wall crumbled and fell In, and several of the rescuers had narrow escapes from death. They continued' their task with renewed energy, despite the danger. The number of victims was placed at sixteen, but there may be more. Contractor John J. Haggerty, of the firm of Rogers & Haggerty, In charge of the . sewer construction, said that the cause of the accident could be known only to the men buried in the trench. How many workmen are entombed the contractors admit .that they are unable to tell. They say that men assigned to work there at the time were for the most part carpenters and concrete lay ers, but they are unable to furnish a . list of laborers whoare known to have been at .work. In their opinion sev eral days may be required before the excavation of ' the great quantity of Mrth known to have tallen will per mit 'Of the recovery of the' bodies. This opinion Is shared also by Charles Seaman, engineer of the public serv ice commission, who visited the scene. r BIO OAS PROJECT. Will rump Gas From Oklahoma to St. Louis Big Corner.

Haven, Conn., Nov. 21 New With 40,000 footba"!! enthusiasts an ticipating, the giants of the gridiron field, Yale and Harvard, prepared, for battle on the Yale field. ; In the first place there was nover a football struggle between two an cient and bitter rivals, In which there was more doubt as to. the result There was apparently no end to the Harvard money last night, and this of Cambrldge coln on hand a flrm of New Haven brokers announcing quietly that It lias $20,000 to throw; out on Harvard at even'money. This big amount was a pool formed by many speculatively Inclined Harvard ' students, aDd that it was sent In: prlor t0 the flay of the great contest is the most convincing Illustration that could possibly be furnished of j confident John Howard as to result of the game aaglnst Ell Yale. j New Haven has prepared for weeks for the great day and was ready and willing to welcome the Immense army , ' of visitors that poured into the pret-: i ty city from far and near and from , every direction. Never was such ln- ! tense uartisanshin manifested at anv! t tha two ... and ,nP ron.. ! teams says that the players of both j eleVcns are ,n better condition than at any time previously. Captain Burch, of Yale, Is still a bit Bhy on . his injured shoulder but he will sure-j ly start in the blue line-up at right! end and he says he feels confident of ' playing out the full game. Coy, the hero "of last season's and his year's victory over Princeton, has been missvd for a whole week for this par-... iculai game.- and will go .in at full back, the position which he took . upon himself to occupy with the Tigers Jnust a week ago. Will the great Coy duplicate his grand work against Old Nassau is the question! propounded by many anxious Inquir ers. That Harvard will concentrate' her attack on Coy goes without say-J lng, but the great player's brawny shoulders are broad enough to carry many pounds of John Harvard stu-i dent flesh. , , I Harvard comes down from Cam bridge considering she has the strongest team the Crimson has had in years, and the student body Is will-V lng to back its confidence with ths coin to an unlimitei extent. Har-i vard surely counts on victory, and will go home broke if she doesn't, win. Yale's average weight Is slight-! ly more than Harvard, 184 pounds' to 182; a difference of only two ! pounds. I Yale has not shown her full foot-! ball hand either, the weather pos-; sibly preventing her from doing so; against the Tigers. So everything : has been allowed to focus on this complete contest, which means the! football rbampionship of the coun try beyond any doubt. Game began 2:05 o'clock, with the crowd still coming into the grounds in a steady stream. Harvard won the toss. "At end of first half score stood: Harvard, 4; Yale, 0, PRESIDENT HAS SEVERAL CALLERS Washington, Nov. 21 Andrew Robert Simon, of Paris, who has discovered a remarkably successful system of treating cholera Infantum in Infants by the Injection of sea water, was ! presented to the president today by Ambassador Jusserand.
