89 DEAD, g HURT IN BIG COLLISION
 MAR NASHVILLE
Damage to Roads Equip ment Will Be in Neigh
 borhood of $200,

Nashville, July 1O-An official compilation of casualties resulting from the wreck on the Nashville Chattanooga anG St. Louis near Bos- ley's Springs Tu, day gives the mum. Der of killed as s. and the injured as 79, the figures giV> by the road, the officials claim, are as accurate esti- mates as can be made at present, and they declare there vii be no mater ial change in the final list. Several of the injured are said to be near death.
 Altho it has been announced that George l.. Liyall, assistant to the re- gional director, for the sourth, has been ordered to Nashville to investi- gate the wreck, w. P. Bruce, general manager of the road, said he had not been officially informed regarding the coming of Mir. Loyall, but was ready to cooperate in every way in fixing the responsibility. The road being operated at present by the gov- ernment the question arises as to who will be responsible for the damage Suits which are expected to be filed in large numbers bv the relatives of the dead and by the injured. While no pre- 'cedent is on record, MT. Bruce today fventured the opinion such damages as may be obtained by complaints would be paid out of the earnings of the road.
 investigation thus far places the blame for the wreck on the crew of train No. 4. It was caused. it seems, by this crew overlooking the incom- inp train, No. 1. No inventory has vet been made of the loss sustained by the road, but old railroaders de- clare the loss of property will amount to about $2OO.OOO.

sentiment for the administration measure apparently increased and leaders predicted it would be passed before the end of the week. Chairman Smith of the interstate commerce committee announced tonight the resolution will be called up for con sideraton tomorrow, and it prolonged debate appears probate an effort will be made to hasten vote. by displac- ing the prohibition bill.
 Managers of the latter measure, it was said, are willin to have the wire control legislation, regarded as an em- eNgency measure, given the right of way. Most administrations leaders, however. believe debate on the war control resolution will be much short CT than at first anticipated. Adopt ion of the measure was regarded as certain by the administration mana gers while some of the principal op- ponents privately admit little nossi- bility of it's defeat. Chairman Smith endeavored to expedite the resolution today by asking unanimous consent for it's consideration, but Senator Pen- rose of Pennsylvania, objected and the resolution was ent to the calendar subject to being called tomorrow.
