geles from Venice and Ocean Park,
were stalled at the Vineyard switch

no lights, and apparently fagman

crashed into the last train at forty
miles an hour.
The last two cacs in the rear train
stalled on the line were completely

Wilson Issues Statement.
President Wilson characterized the
conference as simple and satisfac-
tory"
Both parties were willing to end
their differences under the Newlands
amendment to the Erdman act, IL this
amendment could be passed. said the
president. The railroads felt that
three arbitrators, as provided by the
orig nal Erdman act. were not suf-
ticie.lt number to deal with the ques-
ton, and the Newlands amendment
will Increase the board to six.
The railroad representatives also
desired an Independent board or arbi-
tration, which is provided by the New
lands bill. It is expected that the
measure will be passed by both houses
and signed by me by nightfall. This,
hope, will put an end to the differ
ences between the railroads and the
employees, and both sides will be able
by arbitration to settle all their diff
ferences amicably.'
1t was explained that the roads
chief objection to Erdman act arbitra
ton was that too much responsibility
rested upon single mantle third or
neutral arbitrator.

KANSAS APPLE CROP.
State Expert Says 1t Is Good But
Apples Scarce and High.

The Kansas apple crop is good-in
fact it is almost as large as any the
state ever Notwithstanding to a
report filed by Walter Wellhouse, sec
rotary of the state horticultural soci-
ETY.. Wellhouse has studied the apple
crop closely and declares that with
reasonably fair weather for two weeks,
the crop will be almost if not equal To
any ever produced in Kansas.
While the drouth was damaging the
wheat and corn prospects in Kansas,
the apple raisers were sitting quietly
back and awaiting the maturing of
their crop. Now, Wellhouse declares,
the apple yield is practically normal.
The only apples the recent rains did
not help were the Jonathans, accord
ing to the Wellhouse report. All other
apples benefited by the recent showers
in Kansas; and these showers came at
time when the apple crop needed
ram, but before serious damage had
been done to the yield.
have been in many orchards, said
Wellhouse in his report, land where
the orchards have been properly cared
for the hardy winter apples will show
nearly as good as Kansas ever had.
me apples are large now and if no
cold weather comes, and the apples can
stay on the trees about two weeks
longer Kansas will have an immense
crop of first quality apples"

wind, Rain AND HAIL.
Severe Storm in ST. Louis; Sidewalks
Are Flooded

ST. Louis, Oct. 8.-A heavy hail
storm, succeeded by a cloud burst, and
a high wind, broke over the western
part of ST. Louis today, flooding
streets, breaking windows and tearing
down trees and sign boards.
The rain fell so rapidly that the
sewers could not carry off the water
and the sidewalks were flooded.
Street cars on many lines were tied
up for half an hour.
In some sections of the city the hail
was so thick that householders shovel
ed it from their porches. The lawns
for Forest park were strewn with birds
that had been killed by the hail. The
storm was peculiarly local, striking only
a section of the city and no record of
the high wind was made on the instru-
ments of the United States weather
observatory in the downtown section.
