When Missouri Athletic Club In
St. Louis Is Destroyed
St. Louis, March 9.—Between
30 to 35 guests of the Missouri
Athletic Club perished in the
flames that destroyed the build
ing this morning. This is the
belief of officers of the club to
night. Seven bodies have been
recovered and from 23 to 29 per
sons are still unaccounted for.
Tonight firemen continued to
search for bodies in the smould
ering ruins under the glare of
searchlights.
A committee early today open
ed headquarters at the Press
Club and asked all who were
guests of the Missouri Athletic
Club last night to report, but 30
to 35, did not register and hourly
the feeling grew that all these
were lost. It is hoped that the
water can be pumped out of the
ruins tonight and search for
bodies resumed.

Among the supposed missing
were J. L. Morey, representing
Armour Packing Company, who
traveled in this territory and
was well known in Newport.
The St. Louis papers gave him
as one of the missing.
The Farmers Bank sent tele
grams to his home at Dexter,
Vlisouri and also to his house in
5t. Louis. An answer received
from the latter at 2:00 p. m.
■tated that Mr. Morey had giv
m up his room Sunday and was
-afe, but his Newport friends
ne still uneasy because the>
lave not been able to locate him
