The cold, snowy weather during the past two days in Shanghai has kept workers of the Shanghai Public Benevolent Cemetery busy. Specially trained workers travelling in trucks of the cemetery have been combing the city for the dead. While the result of their work yesterday would be made known today, it was announced that on Wednesday, 11 bodies of adults and 54 bodies of children were picked up from streets in the Settlement alone and that on Tuesday they numbered 24 and 89 respectively.
Those in charge of the cemetery predicted yesterday that the number of dead in Shanghai streets should be great yesterday, following the snow, They said that anyway the number would be greater than those mentioned in Tuesday's and Wednesday's reports. In the French Concession, the same work is being done by the Tung Jen Pu Yuen Tang, another Chinese philanthropic body, and reports on hand yesterday indicated that seven bodies were picked up by the Concession organization on Wednesday alone.
