TWENTY-THREE
BODIES FOUND
IN RAIL DEBRIS
Investigation of Cause @
Disater On Reading
Railroad, Where TIVE
Passenger Trains Col
ided Yesterday, is Now
Under Way

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec 6-Twenty-
three victims of the headon collision
yesterday between Philadelphia ana
Reading railroad passenger trains
near Bryn Athyn, Pa, had been ac-
counted for early today. With one
or two exceptions, however, definite
identification was impossible because
of the charred condition of the bodies.
Nearly all were taken from the wreck
age of the two wooden coaches which
caught fire almost Immediately after
the accident and were destroyed.
A canvass of the residents of New
town and Southampton, the two little
towns wherq most of the victims
lived, showed that several persons
known to have been passengers on the
ill-fated trains were still missing
early today and it was feared that
ether bodies were buried under the
mass of ashes and twisted steel or
were burned to ashes.
Wrecking crews and rescue work
ers continued their search through
out the night but found only one addi
tional body.
Three Investigations to determine
responsibility for the wreck were un-
der way today Officials of the rail-
road held a hearing to question mem
bers of the train crews and station
agents at the points near the wreck.
At the same time John P. Dohoney
and H. ]. Rose, members of the pub
lie service commission met to dis.
cuss the results Of their Investigations
at the scene of the wreck,
William Evans, OF Morriston, Pa.
the conductor of the northbound train,
was summoned by officials of the rail-
way to appear at today's hearing.
Russell Clayton, STATEN agent at
Bryn Athyn told railroad officials that
Evans either misunderstood or mis-
read orders given to him at Bryn
Athyn directing him to hold his train
there until the southbound local had
passed. Clayton said he gave the or
ders to Evans and he holds Evans s
receipts for them
Ordinarily the two trains pass AZ
Woodmont, railroad officials explain
ed today. Yesterday the southbound
train was late and, it was said, Or
ders were given to hold the north
bound train at Bryn Athyn until the
other train passed.
"A milk train, southbound. came
through and l saw the northbound
train begin to pull out" Clayton said.
Il ran down the track shouting but
the train crept away from me. l knew
as l saw the train disappear around
the curve there would be terrible

Suggestion Meets Ap-
proval of. French, Brit

American Delegates
Are Not Yet Commit
ted-Discussions Drag
Along Slowly

Washington. Dec. 6.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. )-The subcommittee
deliberations and another session of
the conference of the Japanese and
Chinese delegations on the Shantung
question were the only scheduled ac-
tivities of the arms conference pro
gram for the final day of the four-day
recess which ends tomorrow
With negotiations on the naval ra-
rio question still awaiting a definite
statement of the position of the Japa-
nese government speculation cen
cred today on the question of to what
extent, if at all, political considera-
ions may have entered into the nav
al question as referred to Toxic by
Admiral Baron Kato, following Fri
days conference of the naval Big
Three"
The possibility of political ISSUES
becoming more and more involved
during the naval phase of the nego.
tiations was definitely connected In
'ome quarters today with the in
increased attention which some of the
conference delegates are known to be
giving to the suggestion of a three or
four power agreement to replace the
Anglo-Jajanese alliance.
While there has been no formal pre-
'entation of the plan in any form to
he conference, there are indications
that the Japanest delegates and per-
haps the British as well. may be link
ing it up prospectively with the naval
ratio question in consulting on the
latter with their governments. The
American delegates. however. are
known to adhere to their expectation
that the naval issue will be settled
without predication on any political
arrangements.
Favorably Received
Paris, Dec. 6.-(By the Associated
Press. 1.-The suggestion at the Wash
ington conference of three or four

minds necessary to insure results.
there must and will be accommoda-
tions and compromises, but in the eS-
innate of convictions and sincere pur-
poses the supreme responsibility to
national interest must not be ignored.
The shield to the high-minded pub
lie servant who adheres to party
policy is manifest, but the higher pur-
pose is the good of the republic as n
a whole.
1t would be ungracious to withhold
acknowledgment of the really large
volume and excellent quality of work
accomplished by the extraordinary
session of congress which so recently
adjourned. l am not unmindful Of
the very difficult tasks with which
you were called to deal, and no one
can ignore the insistent conditions
which, during recent years, have CALI
ed for the continued and almost ex-
elusive attention of your membership
to public work 1t would suggest in
insincerity if | expressed complete ac-
cord with every expression recorded
in your roll calls, but we are all
agreed about the difficulties and the
inevitable divergence of opinion in
seeking the reduction, amelioration
and readjustment of the burdens of
taxation. Later on, when other pro-
blems are solved, shall make some
recommendations about renewed con-
sideration Of our tax problem but for
the immediate time before us we must
be content with the billion dollar re-
duction in tthe tax draft upon the
people and diminished irritations,
Danished uncertainty and improved
methods of collection. BY your sus-
tainment of the rigid economies al
ready inaugurated, with hoped-for ex-
tension Of these economies and added
efficiencies in administration, 1 be-
lieve further reductions may be en-
acted and hindering burdens abol-
ished.
Praises Budget System
In these urgent economies we shall
be immensely assisted by the budget
system for which you made provision
in the extraordinary session. The
first budget is before you. Its pre-
paration Is signal achievement, and
the perfection of the system, a thing
impossible In the few months avail
able for its initial trial, will mark its
enactment as the beginning Of the
greatest reformation in governmental
practice since the beginning Of the
republic.
There Is pending grant of author
ity to the administrative branch of
the government for the funding and
settlement Of our vast foreign loans
growing out Of our grant Of war
credits. With the hands of the exc
cutive branch held impotent to deal
with these debts we are hindering
urgent readjustment among our
debtors and accomplishing nothing
for ourselves. l think it is fair for
the congress to assume that the exc
cutive branch of the government
would adopt no major policy in deal
ing with these matters which would
conflict with the purpose of congress
in authorizing the loans, certainly not
without asking congressional ap-
proval, but there are minor improve
ments incident to prudent loan trans
actions and the safeguarding of our
interests which cannot even be at
tempted without this authorization. 1t
will be helpful to ourselves and ii
will improve conditions among our
debtors If funding and the settlement
OF defaulted interest may be nego-
tiated.

Hoover said today.
 The declaration was made in a state ment by MT. Hoover in which he an nounced the policy of his department 10 be "one of service and not of regu- lation of trade and industry" Out side of voluntary measures, he said that the only immediate extension of service would be in the obtaining of areater internal efficiency
 Extension Program Is Plan
 "In order to do service to the great est advantage" he said, T wish to establish a wider and better organiza- ton, cooperative with the trade and commercial organizations, and will present some plans to this end. want to see our efforts to push our foreign commerce more closely related to our industries"
 Such enlarged activity, he declared, was within the original purpose of his department. Further burdens on the taxpayers for the undertaking of new work were discouraged by MT. Hoover on the ground of economy. need of reorganization and reduction of less essentials

With the cooperation of the trades and industries, MT. Hoover declared his department could aid the improve ment of some business practices and extend standardization of manufac- tured products in the interest of say ing to consumers and promotion of foreign commerce. Spontaneous CO., operation he urged to "obviate an in- finite amount of misery in overcom- ing the economic difficulties arising out of the war. Government depart ments. he argued, could at least try to inspire the cooperation needed to solve problems of unemployment, shortage of homes, lack of railway equipment and transportation needs.
 Faced Financial Breakdown
 With the farmers and manufacturers overstocked with food and goods he said, the country was not facing over production. but a breaking down of credit links through failure of foreign markets. As a remedy he indorsed the foreign trade financing corpora tions created under the Edge act.
 Combination of commercial interests for business outside the country were advocated by Mir. Hoover through the contingency arising from the tendency of European nations ito definitely

 The United States, he contended must face for many years competition resulting from a lower standard of living in Europe, which will mean lower production costs there- To meet this competition and maintain its high standard of living, he declared. the country must work harder, eliminate waste. improve its processes. its labor relationships and business methods.
 Must Improve Transportation Lanes
 If we would so improve our national efficiency and our foreign trade" he said, i've must consider our transpor- tation, both railway. water and ma rine, as one system, directed to serve the nation. The development of cer- tain routes through our mercantile marine as the real extension of our in land transportation: the improvement of great waterways: the opening of the Great lakes to ocean-going vessels; the development of great identification Of our power necessities, and the han ding of our labor readiustment by moderate men on both sides. are all problems that have a fundamental bearing on the recovery in commerce and our ability to compete"
