proposition" the men adjourned until

the mediators will again report. The
mediators met the railroad managers
only for brief period during the af-

TWENTY-FIVE DEAD
IN TROLLEY CRASH
Others Injured When Runaway
CoIIides With Still
Car.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, August 12-
Twenty-Five persons were killed and
sixty-three injured in a head-on col
lision between two crowded trolley
cars on the line of the Southern Cam
bria Traction Company between Echo
and Brookvale, seven miles from here
today.
Fourteen persons were instantly
killed. Eleven others died after being
removed from the wreckage. Several
more are in a critical condition and
will probably die.
The cause of the accident has not
been determined. Coroner Fitzgerald
at once started an investigation. The
company in a statement tonight said
it was absolutely without data on
which to base a report Of how the
accident occurred.
Not Enough Doctors.
AS soon as word Of the wreck was
received here a score of physicians and
nurses was rushed in automobiles to
the scene. followed shortly afterward
by motor trucks hastily fitted up as
ambulances and several pieces of mo-
tor fire apparatus. Because of the
lack Of doctors many of the injured
were compelled to wait nearly two
hours for medical treatment. The VIC
tins were loaded into automobiles and
street cars and taken to South Fork
and to Johnstown.
According to persons in the vicinity at
the time Of the wreck one car was stand
ing still near the car barn at Echo when
the other car, in charge of Motorman An
gus Warner. crashed down a steep grade
and into it. Both cars were demolished
by the impact.
Car Believed Wild.
Shortly before the accident Warmers car
was seen to rush past the station at
Brookdale with Warner frantically waving
his arms. Believing the car. which, ac-
cording to employees Of the company. was
going at the rate of thirty miles an hour,
was not under control. the current was
shut Off at the power plant This action
was taken too late to avoid the crash.
A majority of the victims were MEM
bers of the Dishong and Ribblett famf-
lies, en- route to reunion at Woodlawn
Park.
Darrall Dishong and his entire family
were victims of the wreck. Dishong and
his two children. Aida, aged twelve. and
son Chester, aged five, died shortly after
the accident Mrs. Dishong was brought
seven miles to Johnstown and expired
after being placed in a hospital

situation, he has not given up hope
that settlement may be reached. He
has taken no stand on the merits Of the
arguments presented by either side. but is
understood to believe that there must be
some common ground on which the

During the day the President received
a petition from representatives of un-

that Congress pass legislation which
would prevent the railroads being
paralyzed by strike of the members
