 The three persons seriously injured in the wreck are in the Batavia hos | pital. Physicians hold out little hope for the recovery of Miss Flora Doug. herty, of Flint, Mich. but MT. and Mrs. Nathan Lichterman of New | York oi+v will rnnnver 1t was said 1 These three were the only ones to es- l cape alive from the last sleeping cal on the Wolverine, crushed under the second coach, which had buckIed under the tremendous impact. One Of the remarkable features Of the wreck was the fact tba; none of the passengers in this sec ! ond coach from the end of the Vol. verine was injured. The rear end of the car was lifted high in the al, ! by the force of the collision and ther 1t dropped through the roof of the i'll. lated last car, but all of the passen- gers escaped except for brusises anG shock
 An army nurse, whose name wat not learned, calmed the people in thi. car and they made their way to the ground by ladders.
 The woman first listed as Nils. Flora Dougherty of Flint, Mich, died at the Batavia hospital at noon to. day, making the twenty-second death Her Identification Is not positive, ana there is reason to believe she is Mrs Flora Dougherty, wife of Patricl Dougherty of New York, who wa. killed.

Still Unsettled What

Of the 5000 stipulated have been turned over, 6,65O railroad cars out of 150,00o, and 4,422 motor trucks out of 5000. The 1,700 airplanes called for by the armistice conditions have all been delivered
 Reports that the American delega- tion has agreed on working plan for a League of Nations, and that it will be one of the first things to be laid before the congress, have been cur rent in Paris. All outward evidences in official quarters point in the other direction. As late as President Will sons return from Italy he was not prepared to lay down a working plan, desiring to have other plans originat- ing among the Entente delegates of- fered first.
 , At the same time, Mir. Wilson has selected five men connected with the American mission, recognized experts In international law, to draw up a tentative plan which he could com pare with his own ideas. Out of the whole 1t was hoped to frame some concrete proposition representing the best ideas of the America deIega- ] ton. These men have not finished | their work
 When the present peace congress l gets under way, 1t probably will be 1 found that much of the structure of the second Hague conference will be utilized, and that with this will be
 coupled the plan of William J. Bryan for a years investigation Of disputes before a declaration of war. This
 latter feature is one of the definite
 things that MT Wilson Is understood
 to have In mind. =.
 American international lawyers are convinced that the great battle of wits will come in the discussion of whatever machinery Is proposed to lessen the probability of war. Not all of them believe the results of this peace congress will make war i'm 1 possible, but they are sanguine that
 1t will make armed conflicts more
 difficult. Their principal concern Is
 that the structure of the agreement.
 whether 1t is called a League of
 Nations or something else, shall not
 be framed, like The Hague conven-
 tons in qualifying phrases which I would undermine the whole structure. 1 President Wilson and his commits sioners are working on the theory l that Great Britain, France, Italy and
 the rest of the world want some new
 machinery which will prevent war. | The business of the conversations which begin today is to find com
 mon ground upon which all can unite
 for such a purpose. Upon the further
 details, the United States is said to
 be unconcerned, further than to ex- pec4 that covenants shall be fulfilled and that details of the work shall be
 in agreement with the principles al- ready announced.

THE BANK OF FRANCE.

The Bank of France. which in a laSge measure has been responsible for raising the billions of francs needed by the heroic republic to carry on the war, is one of the Iarg- est and most democratic of the worlds financial institutions. Today the Bank of France celebrates it's 11Qth birthday, as it was founded on Jan. IS, 1900. Organized by Napo leon, it financed many of the gigantic schemes of the ambitious Man of Destiny. It has Gszvays been a joint stock company, and its original capi- tai was 30,0OO,O00 francs, or about $6.000,0 Napoleon headed the subscription list with 30 shares of the hank stock, but today the share holders number about 32,OO0, many of them being of the poorer classes who own only one share each. The face value of Bank of France shares is 1000 francs, but they sell at more than four times that valuation. The Bank of France transacts 8 large part of the banking business of the republic through it's head bank in Paris and its 130 branch banks throughout France. It has no for eign branches, and has not even in- yaded the French colonies. It Is a typical French institution, and none but Frenchmen may be employed as officials, agents nor in any other ca 1 pacity, no matter how humble. Even | the scrubwomen must be French
 The institution Is in charge of a gov ernor and two sub-governors chosen 1 by the general assembly of share 1 holders, and the members of the as, sembly, in turn, are elected by the 1 holders of stock, so that the owner
 of one share has 8 say in the man. l agement of the bank. The governor
 has a salary of s12,ooO a year, ant
 the two sub-governors receive half a! much.
 Although the Bank of France ha! | the sole right to issue bank notes, ana
 is in many other ways seemingly {
 government institution, it Is, in fact
 a private joint stock concern, pri
 vately owned, and not in any way ar 1 adjunct of the state. The bank dis
 counts no bills that are not created 1 In France, or indorsed by twC 1 Frenchmen, and accepts none bu
 French securities for loans

During the evening, "repentant Maximalist" confessed, according to the military authorities, that there had been a plot to des- troy the Plaza hotel during the night in order to kill man whose name has not yet been announced A ma chine gun company was sent to tho hotel, which houses the families of several American business men on missions here.

STATE TO MAKE MARKERS.

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 1s-Robbins B. Stoeckel. commissioner of motor vehicles, has under consideration a plan to have automobile markers made by the state instead of by con- tractors. This plan is in operation in the state penitentiaries of New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania. Commissioner Stoeckel will visit New Jersey and perh@ps Pennsylvania with his deputy, John A. Mcdonald soon.
 The cost of installing a plant would be in the neighborhood of s40,- 900, but it is asserted that in three years the saving to the state would be sufficient to meet the expense of installation. Commissioner Stoeckel hopes to make arrangements with the authorities of the state prison or with those in charge of the state reforma- tory at Cheshire to have the plant in- stalled in one of the two institutions.

 Be Enforced By Board
Continued from Page one.)


 The marine workers, the war and navy departments, the shipping board and the railroad administration, all of whom were represented, announc- ed their willingness to arbitrate the case and abide by the decision of the board.
 Hearings were opened here today by the National War Labor Board in an attempt to adjust the differences which caused sixteen thousand members of the Marine Workers Af- filiation to go out on a strike last i Thursday when the Boat Owners As sociation declined to submit to arbi- tration the question of an eight hour working day for the me~. Joseph Moran, president of the New York Towboat Exchange, announced last night that the boat owners would at tend the hearing today and would receive with utmost respect any sug- gestion" the board may decide to of. fer, upon the condition that Basil M Manly, joint chairman of the board and six of its members not take par in the hearing.
 Just before the strike, which tied up New York harbor for three days was called MT. Manly and the six members referred to by Moran issued a statement declaring the Boat Own CTS had violated previous awards by the board and had "contemptuously ! refused to comply with the orders o1 the board"
 l The strikers announced last night that all the members of the unions who have gone out would return tc work pending the decision of the board, but the leaders intimated tha' a resumption of the strike would bt ordered unless the boat owners should abide by the findings Of the board.

These letters also disclosed that von Berns- storf had answered Dowltng's pro- posals and that the operations had been turned over to von Igel for further negotiations and action.
 Although Bowling at first denied writing these communications he has since made 8 complete confession to MT. Lane and has admitted that Von Bernstorff informed him that the matter had been turned over to Wolf Von Igel and that the latter would confer further with him. However, before anything could be arranged between the German agents and Bowling, Wolf Won Igel was arrested by the Department of Justice and he is now interued at Fort Oglethorp, Georgia.
 The local office of the Department of Justice is also advised that a for mer associate of Dowling's, one Rob- ert Mcconnell, a private detective, committed suicide some time ago in Buffalo. Some time ago Bowling sent friend from Waterbury to Hart ford to inform his mother that he was dead and that on account of in- sufficient funds proper burial could not be made. Upon this representa- ton quite sum of money was raised in Hartford among prominent man. l ufacturers which money was used by Bowling and his associate for a pro- tracted spree.
 The attempt of Bowling and McNfa. hon to extort money from MT. O'Con' nor constitutes a violation of the Post Office laws but the federal au. | thorities will take no action in the l matter. The matter will be handled I by the State courts.
 The information pertaining t Dowling's associations with Count vol 1 Bernstorff and his negotiations fo, the blowing up of property will bt submitted to States Attorney Home s. Cummings to be used in connec ton with the charge of extortion.
