They found twenty-five or more volunteer physicians working among the wounded. Almost all of those who were hurt were cut by glass. The offices of the hotels were filled with men and women with blood streaming down their faces Every drug store in Forty-second Street, and even the bar rooms became surgeons operating rooms. SEARCHING FOR THE DEAD AND DYING The search for the dead began as soon as the police were satisfied that there was no one hurt by falling walls or from being crushed under the wreckage in the basement of the Murray Hill Hotel or in' "the Metropolitan Street Railway which was full of stone work and debris.

The first body found Was that of William Tubbs, the engineer of the hoist on the scaffolding over Metropolitan tunnel. He had been blown from the scaffolding into the air and came down in the Metropolitan tunnel. He staggered up the stairs at the Fortieth Street opening and fell in the street, dead, with blood pouring from his head- A subway workman, dying, was picked up in the 'gaping hole which was where the powder shed had been. It was supposed from marks on his cloth ing that his name was Hine. VICTIMS FOUND IN MURRAY HILL HOTEL Two other dead men were found in the Murray Hill Hotel.

One of them was J. Roderick Robertson, a mining engineer of Nelson, British Columbia, who occupied Parlor M. on the first floor of the hotel in the corner nearest the powder shanty. He had made a particular point of (getting that room, because it was almost the only room in the hotel on the main floor. Cyrus Adams, the cigar man In the cafe in the basement of the hotel, was found dead under a heap of debris near where his cigar stand had been.

He had been struck on the neck by a wide sliver of which was like a sword for keenness. There were comparatively few out of the great number injured who were obliged to go to the hospitals. (Most" of them were able to be taken to their homes or to go home on their own resources after the surgeons had patched them up. vj- JEROMEHAS A ROW WITH THE CORONER Coroner Goldenkranz was so expedi-tiuos inf his proceedings in connection with the arrest of Contractor Ira A. Shaler, Foreman Joseph Bracken and Monroe McGrath that District Attorney Jerome appeared in the coroner's court and told hims that his conduct of matters was absurd, that he (Mr.

Jerome) would not, as District Attorney, see the law monkeyed with and that he would warn the Coroner that he was liable for damages at civil law and criminally liable for oppression under the color of judicial right. The Coroner had his jury in the box by the time the prisoners reached the Criminal Courts Building, and within five minutes after he opened court he had directed the jury to go out and bring in a verdict. When Mr, Jerome recovered from the effect of this speedy movement of the machinery of the law, he spoke to the" Coroner in such a pointed, indignant manner that the Coroner's jury sat down again. The Coroner stuck to it that his way of running things was 'right, and after a long argument with Mr. Jerome he sent out the jury.

It. was out about 15 minutes and came back with a recommendation to discharge the prisoners. GOLDENKRANZ PREFERS CHARGE OF HOMICIDE Coroner Goldenkranz thanked the jurors and announced that he would hold the men without bail. Then he and Mr. Jerome had a fierce exchange of words, while 'Coroner's Clerk Murray stood in the back of the court room and used unprintable language about the District Attorney.

As a result of the District Attorney's angry arguments, the Coroner said that he would hold the prisoners in $10,000 bail each on a charge of homicide. Ultimately, Shaler and Bracken got out on bail, while McGrath was locked up in the Tombs. McGrath, who is a little Irishman with a sense of humor, says he was hot employed by Contractor Shaler, but was digging a cellar for the new-hotel on. the corner of Park jvenue and Forty-second. Street.

knocked down by the explosion and laid out for 15 minutes. He says he was arrested because he had on his working clothes. FAIR TODAY. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.

CSpeclal to THE REVIEW) 7 NEW YORK, Jan. 27. By an explosion of: hitro-gelatine, meant for use in the Rapid Transit subway tunnel at Forty-first Street and Park Avenue, the' hotels, hospitals and other buildings in the immediate neighborhood were wrecked at noon today.

Five men were killed, and hundreds of men, women 'and children were injured. The loss tc property cannot well amount to less than $1,000,000. s. V'. i the appalling list of those 1 who were:" attended by physicians and whose names were given to the police, there were hundreds, or more likely thousands of others, many of whom were slightly cut by fragments of falling glass, and after attending to their wounds in drug stores, went to their homes.

A great many went on trains from the 3rand Central station all over the 1 country. The- exact number, of the hurt will never be known. SUB-CONTRACTOR PLACED UNDER ARREST 1 Immediately after the accident the ub-contractor for the tunnel work. at the point of the. explosion, 'Major Ira A.

Shaler, and several of his subordinates were arrested, by order of. the 33istrict Attorney "Jerome, who made a personal Survey of. the accident. The amount of explosive, which was stored In a shed in the street near a shaft from the tunnel, is variously 'Mr. Jerome and Fire Chief Croker said that they learned that 350 pounds of nitro-gelatine had been de- livered to that podnt yesterday.

Mr. Jerome estimated that 100 pounds at least were involved in the explosion which made the wreck. On behalf of Contractor Shaler, it was stated that there was no more explosive in the pace than was allowed by law, 62 pounds. It was further said that inasmuch as it was shown that the explosive was set off toy being set on fire by a lamp accidentally upset, the contractor is not legally or indirectly to blame or the catastrophe. EXPLOSION OCCURRED IN POWDER SHANTY Opposite the 41st Street end of the front of the Murray Hill Hotel was a shanty, known to' the tunnel laborers as a powder shanty.

Back of the shanty the open cutting of the railroad tunnel opening was bridged over by heavy timbers, clear to the iiouth of the tun nel- at 40th Street. On this timber scaffolding were derricks- and stone piles and one of the compressed5 air. "engines used, in the sutoway Beside the powder shanty was a shaft which ran down to the subway 20 feet below the -MetropolitanSfreet liailway tunnel. The subway tunnel runs vuhder street: railway tunnel air the way to S4th Street It is under this tunnel that subterranean blasting; has been going on for months. It is customary to set off blasts at noon whenever practicable, because the time cf the laborers who have to get out of the way of the blasts is then lost to the contractor.

Moses Epps, "powaer man," was responsible for the distribution of the explosive from the snanty. At a little before noon he gave out the necessary cartridges to Hamilton Jones, a nother to fire a blast in the subway almost directly under the -wooden structure. BLAST KNOCKED OVER LIGHTED LAMP Jones had gone some time and the warning cry had come up the shaft. There the usual dull thud, with more than the usual shock of the It happened that the shanty was shaken so that a lamp fell fFbm its shelf over Epp's head into a pile of paper. The paper blazed up.

Against the wall, on the other side of the paper were thirteen boxes of blasting gelatine. Epps knew what would happen if the flames reached them. He leaped out of the house, caught up a bucket of water and running to the door, dashed the water at the Mazing paper. The water only extinguished the middle of the fire. He ran out to get a second pail of water.

he returned he saw the flames" licking at the end of the nile of erpi.i- tlne boxes. Then he turned and ran for jtfa Twenty "teps away the earth rose up under his feet and fell again and he dropped like one dead. MACHINERY HURLED OVER LIGHTED LAMP In that moment. Park Avenue filled with, the terrific burden of the most stupendous of blasts. Straight up into the air went the sheds, the roof of the heavy tunnel scaffolding, the engines and derricks and piled lumber that was lying around the shaft Shooting after them went paving stones and broken rock and pieces; of wagons and great masses of masonry.

The lighter and smaller pieces of the flying-debris mounted far above the roofs of the hotels and the Grand Central Station. Out of the cloud above, came long rafters, which; floated away like splinters. But when -they struck later on the roofs thfjy tore down three and four floors with their impact. The street was so dark that; people nearby stopped short and began to grope their way, As the cloud began to settle down men could see what the lamp that fell from the shelf in the powder shanty had Windows were vacant- arid staring, the docks on the Grand Central Sijtation knocked out of their sockets, and) there a window frame half out of its place, all cock-eyed, cornices all down. MURRAY HILL HOTEL TARGET FOR DEBRIS As the air cleared a.

little more the front of the Murray Hill Hotel became The big portice was battered in. There was no sign in the windows that any sashes had ever, been placed The stone work was chipped. Great clods of earth were plastered here and there, as though giants had been making" the place a target for mud balls. In a 'moment or two the firemen came and the fire, which might have "added unimagined horrors to the disaster, was smothered. it: But there.

was other work for the firemen to do. The rescue of Hamilton Jones, the man who was assigned to set off the blast in the subway, was one of thejnost thrilling exhibitions of courage, that has been seen by a large crowd in this city since the Windsor Hotel fire. MAN BLOWN FOUR BLOCKS AND LIVED When the big explosion occurred, Jones was not a hundred feet from the shaft opening at Forty-first Street. When he was found afterward, he was in the subway at a point opposite Thirty-seventh Street. There seems to be httle doubt that he was blown that distance by the force of the explosion.

Soon after the explosion it was learned that he was in the subway and Captain Ryan and Firemen Dunn, Kiernan and Cullen, of Engine No. 7, volunteered to seek him. These four, got a long ladder, the longest one they cbtrld find, and lowered it into the mouth of the shaft. The ladder would not reach the bottom of the shaft, and so the upper rungs were secured with ropes, and while "the four firemen got on it, others lowered them slowly. When Ryan, who was bottom -most man, reached the water, which was pouring in from broken mains, he shouted to stop lowering, and those at the top obeyed.

THRILLING RESCUE BY BRAVE FIREMEN There was no' telling how deep the water was, but Ryan settled that matter by announcing, that he would jump from the ladder and swim if it was over his head. The water proved to be up to his shoulders only, so he called to the others to follow him and they did so. It was not until they got down as far as Thirty-seventh Street that they found Jones. He was unconscious and bleeding from a dozen cuts. The firemen picked him up and started for the other entrance to the gubway at Thirty-fourth Street, but turned back and made, for Forty-first Street, as they could not be sure there was a free exit at the lower point.

When they reached the ladder they managed to get Jones and themselves up it, despite the fact that water was still pouring down into the shaft from the broken mains. Meantime, the police and ambulance calls had been sent out. Five ambulances, each carrying all the extra surgeons who could be found ready to jump aboard when the summons came, From THE REVIEW Bureau.) ALBANY, N. Jan. 27.
