THIRTY-EIGHT PERSOI WHEN FAST Til Sulphur, Mo., Aug. 7 (By the Asso-^ dated Press).?Eye witnesses sunir moned today before coroner's jury a's De Soto to recount the details of the rear-end collission of two Missouri Pacific trains here Saturday night when 37 persons were known to he killed and 188 injured. Coroner Elders promised a thorough investigation of the circumstances causing the disaster. Sulphur Springs, Mo., Aug. 6 (By the Associated Press )?Failure of an engineer to heed a block signal caused the rear-end collision on the Missouri-1 Pacific here last night, in which 38 1.11U.1 -1 toif 1- ^ ' fjc?r.un3 ncre kuicu ana i?y/ injureo 25 seriously, according to John Cannon, assistant general manager of the road. Train No. 4, a fast passenger vestibule steel train, running at full speed, crashed into No. 32, a local, composed! of five wooden day coaches, a baggage and an express ear, as the engine was taking on water with the coaches stretching back on a trestle over Glaze creek. The impact hurled t\vo of the local! coaches down a 50_foot embankment! edging the Mississippi and telescoped 1 four other coaches, crushing a number j of passengers to death in their seats.1 Both trains were behind time, the' fast passenger, running from Fort. Worth, Texas, to St. Louis, gprrying 180 passengers, and the local 100 per-1 sons. ' According to Mr. Cannon, Matt ("Ginger") Glenn of St. Louis, engi-' neer of the fast passenger, failed to heed a block signal warning him the: track was not clear ahead.

Engineer Glenn, shortly before ar-i riving in Sulphur Springs, received ^ orders "on the run" to pull over on a aiding at Cliff Cave, ten miles north ^ -here, to allow "Sunshine Special rout? from St. Louis to to pasa, and Mr. Canon the ea?3*wtr faU?dJo heed., the signal becauSe he apparently was7 reading these orders when ha passed the bleck. The orders were found near1 his body. Ghouls appeared on the scene short 1 ly after the crash and robbed the dead and dying. Only one was arrested and he said he was William Hall of St. Louis. Several pieces of wearing i apparel taken from the unfortunates! were found on his person and a Bible' was in his waist. The Bible, it was said, had- been the property of the Rev. V. O. Pensley of De Soto, one of those killed. The dead and injured were spread j over an area of several citv blocks. This little 'ullage of 150 inhabitants was uname co care tor i.ne injured and they along with the dead were taken to St. Louis and De Soto. Dr. W. W. Hull was the onlv phvs;cian administering to the injured for several hours until relief trains arrived. "Had I had some assistance we might have saved some of the dying," Dr. Hull told e. representative of the Associated Pre3s. "At one time I was trying to treat 25 persons simultaneously." The cries of the injured had to go unheeded in many cases. Mothers begged for news of their babies and children cried for their parents. One 14 months old child, unable to tell her name, was found a mile from th,M scene of the disaster asking for "Mama." A woman from St. Louis took her in charge. Ono of the saddest scenes reported was that of the Degania family of St. Louis. Four of the family of six wer? killed and the father is reported dying in n St. I/iuis hospital. Three of the Degania children, Ralph, ?> Melvin, 5, and Robert 14 months, lay dead to the right of their father before he could he removed, and Mrs.j Degania lay deed to his left. Mr. Degania in his delirium clasped I his infant son to his breast, repeating between groans of pain, "Thank God, Bobby, we're all alive," not knowing the hearts of his wife and children were rtilled. In the confusion several bodies were bustled on the volief trains before be ing checked, leaving the number of dead uncertain. Many of the bodies could not be identified because their effects had been scatteved over such a wide area. The railroad track parrallel the Mississippi river and the trestle on which the disaster occurred spans. (Haze creek where it enters the river. As a result a report was current that a number of bodies were washed into the Mississippi but there was no way of verifying this report. Rescue work was hampered by lack" < f 1 ?ht. Th's village is without el^o. i tricity and he rescue workers made their way among the mass of twisted steel and crumpled wooden coaches by the air of kerosene torches and can 1S KILLED i LAIN CRASHES LOCAL; Women Candidates Speak The Leagu" of Women Voters invited the women candidates to speak at the high school at 5 o'clock.

Women Candidates Impress "This is not a l>oost for any particular candidate, but if any there he among the 3ex formerly regarded as ( lords of creation who yet profess to believe that woman hasn't the ability to vote or run for office or hold au office, such a one needs only to hear Mrs. Drake, Mrs. Wallace or Mrs. Riddle present their claims to the voters." says the Lancaster Citizen. "Neither Mrs. Riddle at the county meetings nor either of the others at trie suite meeting uiu ui sum ?n>- . thing unbecoming a true gentle-wo-' man, and yet they showed a mentalj grasp of the needs of the school sy *- j tem which indicated deep thought and j long study."

ALLIES GATHER FOR CONFERENCE London, Aug. 6 (By the Associated Press).-?Allied statesmen are gather- j iog in London tonight for the opening! tomorrow of what sqerus -universally ltgarded as the most momentous eon-, forence since peace v:as concluded. The immediate concoi'n Qf the cor.-( forenoe is the question of reparations and Germuny's request for a moratorium; but since the delivery last week of the note of Earl Balfour it is as sumed that the question of allied in-J d( btedness cannot bo excluded from! the discussions, especially as Raymond | Poincave, the French premier, i* cred-j ited with bringing to London a plan for the extinction of the German reparations bonds in exchange for a cancellation of tin* French debt to Cieai | Britain. This plan meets with little sym-j patliy in Flighted. because il is e<?!i-; t *uled these German bonds, being admittedly worthless, Great Britain would gain nothing, b it by forgiving the French debt, would lose the last weapon she posse-ses for bringing! pressure to bear upon France on the ; question of armaments, or on any pol-j iey in which France might run counter j to British ideas. The situation is further complicated by the ultimatum France delivered to Germany concerning Germany's pas ments on account, of cleaving lu < debts and the measmes which Francoj already has ordered taken in this connection. Little hope seems to he entertained here that the confer"ncc will be a successful one, although it is fully rec-j ognized that in \ie\v of the swift fall :n the value of the mark, which threatens to bring Germany in the wage of Austria and Russia financially, a situation has been reached in which halfway measures no longer will be of avail.

Union Defeats Buffalo Although the Union Mill ball team made enough runs in the first inning to win the game with Buffalo here Saturday, it was exciing to watch! the steady, scrappy little Union team, with the big help of "Lefty" Jamieson. right to hold that lead against the big Buffalo batters. Jamieson fanned l."> and gave up only four hits, only two of which came in the same inning, and one of which of these should have been fielded. It is a pity Union didn't play their usual brand of ball and give him credit for a shut out. Three of Union's five errors figured in Buffalo'? scoring. Union earned four runs.

There was in the meantime i. gathering of general chairman of the strike organization on severui of the Eastern railroad Systems, chiefly machinists' representfctives, who reported on existing conditions, and dis cussed strike policy wi'h the nation .I lenders. Nothing was forthcoming from the White Mouse eoiicernitig the possible new negotiations which might result between railroad executives and President Harding in furtherance of the settlement attempts. In spite of the refusal of the road managements to accept President Harding's request that 'ill strikers be n in-tated with full senioriy in conaldei ation of a calling off of the srike it Is known that paths of communic.it ion between the administration and the inure prominent railroad bead ionium eoniph tily open. Union representative- remained iiiiii in the opinion that President Herding would not ash them to coiiipr'se further on seniority points; hol.l out the impression that they had gone ?o the limit in accepting his original oiVer, and professed complete ignoraueo as to what his reconsideration of the problem might develop. The union leaders expect other rail load unions not 011 stril 0 to follow up tomorrow the program of making 1 ('presentations to the pi evident coniqivnittro fi. n .1* 1 hoy claim the strike had put mil road tolling stock.

The Southern, acting apart from all the other large railroads, has offered to settle with its men exactly on tlie basis of Provident Harding's prop -sals. The union policy has been hit I.- rto emphatically against single line - ttlements.

The injured man was carried to Wallace Thomson hospital for an operation. From all accounts the blow was struck in self defense. York himself corroborates the statement of George to the effect that York had chased him around Buffalo with a knife, and after vainly trying to get out of his way, he nicked up a brick and hurled it at h s pursuer. There is said to have been ill feeling between the men. York has a wife and ehiid. It is hoped that he may recover.
