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

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. Gienn, R.7
years old, an engineer for 35 years,'

hia cab just before tbe crash. Edward
Lindley, also of St. Louis, fireman of
No. 4, remained at his post and was'
injured seriously.
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"

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.

Creek cemetery are asked to meet
