while circus officers made efforts to
compile an accurate list of the vic
Tins.
Only twenty-four of the bodies
have been identified. Most of the
other corpses are charred and man
gled beyond recognition.
Edward NJ. Ballard, general man
ager of the circus, tonight issued a
statement saying figures compiled
indicated that the death list would
total IS. He said that hasty check
up of the scattered employees show
ed list of sixty missing in addition
to the "a identified dead. F. S.
Whipple, trainmaster, also has, been
given up as dead.
Parts of two bodies cremated in
the furnace of tangled steel and tim
bers that resulted when the Michi-
gan Central equipment train crum-
bled the flimsy circus coaches were
dug out tonight. The authorities
said that if the death list is as great
as estimated by the circus men, the
additional bodies probably were re-
duced to ashes.

AUTHORITY TO RAISE
WHEAT PRICES GIVEN
President Gives Grain Corporation
Power to Pay More.

Washington, une 24.-Blanket
authority to increase the price OF
wheat at primary and other markets
with the approval of Food Admin
istrator Hoover, above the $40 a
bushel minimum price guaranteed
by presidential proclamation last
Feb. 2l, is given the food admins
tration grain corporation in New
York by an executive order of the
president.
To carry out the purposes Of the
order, the corporation is authorized
to increase its capital stock from
$50,000000 to $l50,000,0OO in shares
of par value of $l00 each. All the
stock will be owned by the govern
ment.
While no explanation of the order
was given, either at the food ad-
ministration or the White House.
two considerations were believed
to have influenced the presidents
decision to permit the grain cor
poration to pay higher prices for
wheat. The first was the increased
freight rates which will becom. ef-
fective Tuesday. Growers must
bear this increase, and without an
advance in the price of wheat their
profits would be materially reduced.
The second was believed to be
the situation resulting from the
deadlock in congress over the SEN
ate's amendment to the annual ag-
ricultural appropriation bill increas-
ing the minimum guaranteed price
for wheat to $3.50 bushel. The
house has refused to accept the
amendment and the senate is to vote
on it again this week. In some
quarters it is believed the presidents
action would be factor in influ
encing the senate to recede from
the amendment.
