Trenton, Mo, Jan. 1.--Twelve per sons, possibly more, are believed to nave been killed and their bodies burned in the wreck of the California special on the Rock Island near here. The bodies of two unknown passengers and the fireman have been recovered. The two bodies are known to be those some of them probably fatally The train was bound for Kansas City and California points from Chicago. The wreck took place about two miles from Trenton. The train was nearly m hour late and was running at high speed to make up for lost time.
 The train was carrying Its regular equipment, consisting of baggage car, smoking car, tourist car, two drawing room sleepers and a library-buffet-ob- servation car. At the time of the wreck most of the passengers were in the dining and observation car.
 The huge engine, standard Pullman sleeper and the tourist sleeper caught fire and were destroyed and portion of the chair car was burned.
 At noon the known dead, whose bodies had been recovered, number three. Fireman Lininger and two women, unidentified. Nine persons were injured. two of them probably fla tally.

All the passengers in Lae burned Full man escaped, and aside from bruises and slight cuts, none of these was injured.
 The number of those who lost their lives in the tourist may not be known for several hours.
 Before the passengers realized what was happening the three cars men toned were in flames. Happening as it did in an isolated spot, there was no aid at hand except that available in the cars in the other part of the train.
 Those passengers and members of the crew who escaped injury immedi- ately went to work to aid the injured. Many were dragged from the chair car, while those in the burning Pull. man generally made their escape un- assisted.
 The flames that attacked the touris, sleeper burned fiercely. forcing back the would-be rescuers, and they stood by in the ice and snow powerless to render aid.
 The cause of the wreck Is not known. The engine suddenly jumped the track and, blowing through the roadbed. landed upside down 50 feet from the tracks. Following closely came the mall and baggage cars These two cars doubled ahead past the en zine. Both were badly smashed. Back of these two cars came a chair car. 2 tourist sleeper. two standard Pullman sleepers and an observation car. When the chair car, the tourist an6 the first of the Pullman sleepers reached a point opposite the disabled engine they left the track and piled UT l alongside the track.
 Almost immediately these three cars caught fire from the engine and with in a very few minutes were burning mass of flames.
 The second standard sleeper and the observation car remained on inc track and were practically undamaged

TAFT TRIES TO END THE STRIKE
Government Officials and Representa- tives of Switchmen Hold a Con
 ference In the White House,

Washington, Jan. 1.-Recognizing the danger of general strike of unions affiliated with the railroad de- partment of the American Federation of Labor, President Taft to-day took a hand in the efforts to bring about a peaceful settlement of the troubles in the northwest. An important con ference was held in the White House between representatives of the strik- ing switchmen and Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commits sion and Labor Commissioner Neill at which the president was present. The meeting was held at the request of President Henry B. Perham of the railroad department of the federation. who wired from St. Paul that he de- sired to present the case of the strikers to Messrs. Knapp and NeiJl, and to MT. Taft if possible. The re. suits of the conference are not yet known, but as the president believes the Erdman act provides channel for the settlement of such labor disputes. 1t is thought he will be slow to in. terfere
 Tuning Church Bell.
 No matter how great may be the care taken in making the mold. bell has to be tuned before it will ring a clear, true note. As matter of fact, every bell sounds five notes, all of which must blend together harmo niously. If one is the least bit out the tune will be spoiled.
 The first of these notes is produced by the vibrations at the mouth of the bell. the second by the vibrations a little higher ID. the third still higher up, and so on to the fifth. which is produced quite near the top. As the character of the sound which rings depends upon the thickness of the metal, 1t is possible By taking thin shavings from various places In the inside of the bell to alter the five notes until they are all in harmony
