Snash-Up Reported to Have
Been Worst in the
Roads History.
WOODEN COACHES
CRUMBLED BADLY
Blame for Disaster Seems to
Be Divided Between
Two Train Crews.
(Rx Asaociated Preaal

Shepherdsville. KY, Dec. 21.-The
death toll taken last night when
Louisville and Nashville passenger
train No. from Cincinnati to New
Orleans crashed into the rear end of
q Louisville Bardstown and Spring
field accommodation train few hun
dred feet south Of the railroad station
here had reached forty-six today.
The number killed was at first
placed by w. f. Sheridan, superinter-
dent OF the Louisville division of the
Louisville and Nashville at thirty
eight Revision OF this figure caused
by additional deaths from among those
injured increased the total to 46.
The wreck, which is said to be the
worst rin the history OF the l.. & N.
occurred just after the local train had
pulled out from the station here. 1t
had gone only a short distance when
the other train travelling at a high
rate of speed crashed into the slower
moving train ahead and made kindling
wood of the two wooden, passenger
coaches it carried.
The locomotive pulling the fast
train was badly damaged by the i'm
pact but the engineer and firemen es-
capped and with n few exception OF one
baggage. car, and the train was able
to proceed later.
Blame for the disaster seems to
hinge upon. whether the fast train had
been given a clear block or not Jesse
Weatherford operator at the station
said that immedia teiy after the local
had turned his board to show the
track clear for the fast train and then
left his post in response to orders to
help unload baggage
AS he left the office he said he saw
the train approa ching, rushed back to
his office, set the red danger signal,
picked up a red lantern ard rushed TO
the platform to flag it. He reached
the platform Just as the train passed
him, he said.
Superintendent Sheridan closely
questioned the crews of both trains az
we'll as the station force but declined
TO attempt to fix the blame. without
further investigation.
Many OF the injured were so badly
hurt that. 1t is feared the death list
will be INCREASED even further.

HURLEY TELLS
OF UNCLE SANS
SHIP Blu ILDING
CHAIRMAN OF SHIPPING BOARD
GIVES INSIGHT TO NAVY'S
UTILIZATION OF THE COUN-
TRY'S FACILITIES.
By Associated Press.

Washington Dec. 21.-The navyS
utilization Of much of the country's
shipbuilding facilities was cited by
Chairman Hurley Of the shipping
board today as one reason for the slow
progress of merchant ship construc-
ton.
Testifying in the senate commerce
committees investigation into the
progress of the shipbuilding program,
Mr. Hurley declared that the fact that
the navy at the outbreak of war con-
trolled 70 per cent. OF the building
facilities Of IS prominent ship yards
forced the shipping board to have
new yards built.
Continual reorganization Of the
boards emergency fleet corporation
was explained by Mr.. Hurley as nee
essary to make the corporation re-
Sponsive to the demands made upon it.
Delay in turning out ships, Mr.
Hurley said, was in part attributable
to the small capacity of American
ship yards.
"The task Of the fleet corporation"
he said, ''is not only the construction
of new ships, but more particularly
the fabrication OF new facilities, and
the construction Of new yards
"The work thus far has been In
many cases preparatory and It has
carried with it the usual amount C
annoyance and disappointments. but
this period is getting rapidly behind
us and actual ship construction is
Immediately before us"
Mr.. Hurley explained the organi-
zation of the shipping board and fleet
corporation in which the president OF
the latter is clothed with complete au-
thority and is solely responsible
Admiral Capps, a former president
had full authority in construction Of
ships said Mr.. Hurley, but upon
questioning by Senator Nelson ad-
mitted that he had the power to veto
an ycontract made by Capps.
But I never did," added Mr.. Hur-
ley. ST never had any disagreement
with Admiral Capps. Our relations
were such that construction work was
not retarded in any way"

BRITISH PREMIE LLOY D.
GEORGE TELLS HOUSE OF CON-
MONS OF SOME OF GERMANY'S
MANY FAILURE.

London, Dec 21.-Although allied
hopes had not been realized because
Of the Russian collapse, Premier
Lloyd George told the house Of COM
mons today that the Germans had not
been able to quite hold their own in
the West. He declared that it was
idle to pretend" that the hopes formed
at the beginning OF the year in regard
to the military situation had been
realized. At the beginning of the
year the Russian army was better
equipped than at any period of the
war and its collapse was not due to
unskillful leadership or lack OF vaior
on the part OF the troops. Had the
Russian army continued to collaborate
with the Anglo-French and Italian
armies in pressing the Germans, 1--WE.
should have been able to bring such
pressure on the Prussian army as to
inflict a decisive defeat upon them.
On the western front the Germans
had been beaten in many battles.
The premier declared they had lost
10000 prisoners, valuable ground and
hundreds of guns. While the cam
paign in France had not realized the
expectations formed, there had been
military successes which he ventured
TO say would have a permanent effect
on the IuluTe OF the wOTlQ. Inc
premier said he referred to the cap
ture of Bagdad and Jerusalem, add
ing:
These two great events added more
to the prestige Of Great Britain
throughout the world than any event
in the whole course of the war. y
good deal has been said about side
shows but Great Britain owes a good
deal to these
Premier Lloyd George referred to
the fact that the aggregate shipbuild-
ing at the present when millions Of
persons were taken from labor, was
above the boom year OF 1913, and de-
clared it was a very creditable per-
formance.
The destruction OF German subma-
rines. he said, had gone up steadily
and steadily during the year This
was remarkable and encourag ging be-
cause it showed how admira bly, the
shipping controller really was Crap
piing with the most menacing sit,Ia-
tion with which Great Britain is con-

WASHINGTON HAS NO
ApvIcES ON SUBJECT

washington. Dec. 21.--American Of
ficials said today they had no knowl-
edge OF the so-called secret treaty
between Russia and Japan described
IN the Petrograd dispatches, but they
considered that to describe it as con-
templating 'Joint armed demonstra-
ton against America and Great Brit
ian in the Far East" was not borne
out by the text Of the published ar
tjcles.
There is a possibility tfat the treaty
referred to is the specials convention
concluded between Russia and Japan.
at about the same time as the so-called
secret treaty. 1t was generally as
sumed here that the treaty contained
some secret provisions, but its pur-
pose wassdescribed as being to safe
guard the rights OF Japan and Russia
in the Far East; to reconcile all out
standing issues between them and
generally to follow the lines of the
Anigo-Japanese alliance
At the time it was supposed that
the secret articles provided for the
sale by Russia to Japan all Of the
Manchurian railroads south of Har-
bin; the transfer to Japan OF naviga
tion rights in the Sugari river and
The extension OF fishing rights OFF
the coast Of Siberia
1t is improbable that the United
States government alone will meet
any effort to secure an explanation of
the meaning and purpose of these
secret articles from the principals. bur
1t is rather expected that one or the
othef of them Voluntarily win come
forward with a statement in that
line.
