New York. Jan. 30.--Attempts are
being made to locate the gang of ital
ians who swooped down upon the
wrecked train of the Jersey Central
railroad near Graceland and systemat
ically robbed the victims.
Some of the stories told by the in
jured are appalling. Fingers were cut
off, earrings were torn out of WON,
ems ears and other atrocities com
mitted ID the confusion of the cries
of the wounded and dying and the
kissing of steam from the wrecked
coaches.
Fire added to the horrors and some
the rescuers.
The wreck took place about a mile
from Graceland, near New York,
when the Royal Blue train at full
speed ran into the rear of a way
train. Three cars took fire after the
collision, making rescue for a time
impossible.
The way train left New York at
5:15 o'clock, making express time to
Bound Brook. where it's service
changes to local. The Royal Blue
Line flyer left New York at o'clock
and was to overtake the way train
after leaving Graceland.
AT Graceland the way train found
it's usual track blocked by a freight
and got orders to take the express
track to Dunellen

hot box caused a delay and as the
train got under way the flyer, travel
ing at 65 miles an hour, struck it. The
flyers engine left the rails after plow.

Fourteen were removed from the
wreck and the other died at nearby
residence Although traffic has been
resumed. the wreckage is still being
searched
The injured list is incomplete, but
conservative estimates place the num-
Der between 80 and 40. Six of the
dead are unidentified.
The search up to noon adds to the
horror. The list of the dead will
reach 30, An accurate list may never
be made, for as the ruins of the
wrecked Easton train were pulled
from beneath the flyer parts of many
bodies were found and it is believed
many were burned
Sixteen bodies have been identified
Several more bodies are reported
scattered through the hamlets in the
vicinity and there are several uniden-
tilted bodies at the Westfield station
OF these latter four are so badly bat
tered and burned that identification Is
impossible.
Workers in the wreckage are still
discovering portions of bodies.
Engineer Davis of the flyer, who
was pulled out from beneath his en-
CINE and reported dead, is in a
Plainfield hospital in dying condition.

I'm not much on music, L m often told,
And the tunes that like are a trifle old.
They are tuney and lively and sort of go
To the plinkety-plunk of my old banjo
There is nothing that's classic, but lots Of
swing
To the rags that pick on the twanging
string;
For couldn't play anything sad or slow
To the plinkety- PUNK of my old banjo.
There's sound to the flute that is soft and
th sweet, i5@
But it doesn't get into fellows feet.
There is nothing compares that man can
blow t..5IS
To the plinkety- plunk Of my old banjo.
I am fond Of the fiddle, the mandolin NT
And the gay guitar, but they don't begin
TO suit yours truly as well, know,
AS the plinkety-p PUNK of my old banjo
I'm given to playing, when things go wrong,
The hoedown refrain of an old coon song; h
And it livens me up, for can't feel low
When plinkety- PUNK on my old banjo. f5
Though it may not be music, I like the noise.
For it lightens my troubles and helps my
joys;
And the longer live the fonder I grow
OF the plinkety-plunk of my old banjo
