MARKET
TO AID EMPLOYEES
W. F. Lowe Would Have City
Control Food Sales to
Cut Prices.

A proposition to establish in Wash
ington city owned market
to benefit employees Of the District
Of Columbia and the government, pre-
sented by w. F. Lowe before the Stan
ton Park Citizens Association. was
the cause for heated discussion by the
members at a meeting Of that body
last night. The resolution finally was
referred to Mr.. loves committee for
further consideration.
The movement, as outlined by Mr..
Lowe. was to relieve District and
government clerks Of the burden of
high foodstuffs. In presenting the
proposal to the organization Mr..
Lowe said that the consumer was in
variably the one to suffer in price
ascensions and that his resolution, If
acted upon by the House District
committee, to which a copy of the res
olution will be sent. the consumer
would get the benefit of the middle
mans profits.
Stalls Rented by City.
According to details of the proposal.
each stall in the market would be
rented by the city, with the stipula-
tion that should 1t be subleased to
cancelled.

the Milk Producers Association. pre-
sented data which. he claimed. tended
to show that the producers were not
getting their share of the profits.
He emphatically denied statements
that milk powder was used by many
of the local dealers. He further de-
MED allegations that much of the
milk sold in the District of Columbia
was adulterated.
A resolution urging the Commits
sioners to provide proper shelter for
policemen who are forced to stand
in the cold also was referred to a
committee. 1t was pointed out that
at present the guardians of the city
are unprotected from the elements
and are forced to stand for hours in
all kinds Of weather.
The organization went on record as
sanctioning the publication Of small
paper, to be circulated among the
members. A special committee ap-
j pointed to consider the feasibility of
the proposition reported favorably
last night. and the first issue OF the
sheet will appear within several

In history, current topics and civics

Clippings on Doors.
On the doors Of the classroons of
many schools can be found newspaper
clippings in which are carefully re-
viewed and explained the proceedings
of the armament parley. Some
pupils home lessons based on the
newspaper reports of the conference.
1t is the concensus of opinion of
progressive Washington educators
that school and college students
should keep carefully informed of
the work of the conference. The
facts that win be deduced out Of
the discussion. it was emphasized,

Twenty-three victims of the head-on
collision yesterday between Phils
delphia and Reading 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
wreckage of the two wooden coaches.
which caught fire almost Immediately
stroyed.
A canvass Of the residents of New
town and Southampton. the two little
towns where 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 ii was feared that 9TH
er bodies were buried under the mass
of ashes and twisted steel or were
and rescue workers continued their
search throughout the night, but
found only one additional body.
Three Inquiries started.
Three Investigations to determine
responsibility for the wreck were
under way today. Officials of the
railroad held a hearing to question
members of the train crews and sta
ton agents at the points near the
wreck. At the same time John T:
Dohoney and II. ]. Rose, members of
the public service commission, met
to discuss the results of their inNes-
legations at the scene of the wreck.
Coroner Neville of Montgomery
county was also at the scene yester-
day and continued his investigations
today.

railway to appear at todays hearing

Russell Clayton. station agent al
Bryn Athyn, told railroad ohciais
that Evans either "misunderstood or
misread" 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,
receipt for them.
Ordinarily the two trains pass al
woodmont, railroad officials explained
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 / saw the northbound
train begin to pull out" Clayton said.

the train crept away from me. i

around the curve there would be
