Brockton, Mass, Oct. 5.-A swing that simulated the flight of an airplane went to pieces at the fair ground here today, sending 12 cars in which were 29 per sons, most of them children, spinning in to the crowds along the midway Eight Of the child passengers were severely hurt when the cars came to ground. A score of persons some passengers, oth- CTS bystanders, were less seriously hurt.
 The machine was one of those ik which the gondolas, attached to rods, are swung outward from a central pole. to which the rods are connected by crown. plate The power had been started and the cars, gathering momentum, vert swinging in a widening circle when the crownplate broke. The cars and their passengers skinned off in all directions.

Paris, Oct 5.-By the A. P.)-Many persons are believed to be dead and burn ing in the wreckage of rear-end col lision of two suburban trains in the half mile tunnel leading to the St Lazare rail- road station, from which 16 bodies al ready had been recovered at nine o'clock this evening. Twenty seriously injured persons and 5 slightly injured also had been rescued
 Seventeen coaches were burning and firemen, almost helpless, were cutting a Chole through the roof of the tunnel through the pavement of Rue De Rome hoping to create an upward draft in or der to allow the smoke and gas 10 es- cape. Both trains were filled with home ward bound commuters and authorities say that any one remaining in the tunnel is almost certain to be dead.
 The collision occurred when the 5.52 train from the suburb. Marly-le Roi. crashed into the rear of a train for Yer sailles which left four minutes earlier on the same track but which stopped inside the tunel for some unexplained reason. Cries for help and moans were audible at both ends of the tunnel.
 It is feared that those who were trap ped in the burning wreckage may never be identified, as they would surely be burned to a cinder in the intense heat. yet unreached by the fremen. who were di- recting streams of water from both ends of the tunnel.
 Later it was learned that the fire started by explosions of small illuminat- ing gas tanks in the coaches of the tele- scoped train. The train for Versailles

CONFER WITH PRESIDENT ON
 TAX REVISION LEGISLATION

Washington, Oct. 5.-The tangle in congress over tax revision legislation was given the attention of the admins trauon today at a succession of confer ences between President Harding and senate and house leaders What posi- tion the president may take regarding substitution of a sales tax for miscel- laneous excises in the pending bill was not disclosed, those who saw MT. Hard ing declaring that he was keeping an open mind on the subject for the pres ent
 Meantime groups in the senate went forward with conferences on the whole subject and opponents of the pending measure continued their assaults on it. The democrats on the finance commit tee put in their minority report in which they declared that the bill neither fulhlls the promises of the re- publican party for a simplification of tax law and procedure nor satisfies the demand of the democratic party for a complete survey of existing taxes and their modification and simplifcation."
 Senator La Toilette, republican member of the finance committee also filed a minority view, declaring that he was in general accord with the demo- cratic report insofar as it criticised the proposals of the majority to reduce the super taxes upon large individual incomes, to repeal the excess profits tax and the capital stock tax, to retain the transportation taxes and to greatly az gravate the existing disparity between corporation and individual and partner ship taxes" He added, however, that he felt the accommodations of the minori- ty would do little more than palliate some of the monstrous iniquities of this bill without curing any of it's funda- mental evils
 There is nothing to be gained by the forced inconsiderate enactment of the present bill,' said the minority re- port The bill affords no relief to the country. There will be no reductions ef- fective during this calendar year-nine months after the advent to full power of the padty which promised immediate re- lief from oppressive war taxes.
 '"The purpose of the republican ma | jority seems to have been centered upon | the exemption of millionaires from the | higher sur-taxes and the exemption of corporate interests and monopolies from | the payment of proper taxes upon in- | ordinate profits'

had stopped to repair a broken coupling when the collision occurred hundreds of the injured were able to escape by run ming through the dark tunnel along the track ends. Troops were called out irn- mediately to surround the scene of the disaster.
 At a late hour tonight sixteen bodies had been recovered. Twenty persons are known to have been seriously injured and sixty others were slightly injured. This, however. gives no idea of the extent of the disaster, because the hremen and others engaged in the work of rescue have been unable to get any distance within the tunnel, owing to the gas fumes.
 The fire spread with great rapidity and for a time cries of distress and the mosns of the dying were heard on all sides. but these finally were silencsd. the cracking of the blazing wooden coaches still could be heard.
 The fremen were not prepared for the poisonous fumes which assailed them succeeded in playing four sreams on the last coaches at the St. Lazare end of the tunnel but these were empty and not | burning while seventeen coaches in the center of the tunnel. far away from the | iremens efforts. were burning fiercely. At no time could they get closer than five hundred feet from the inferno. Never theless. every now and then a passenger with blackened face would come strae- gling out, begging the helpless firemen. police and soldiers to enter the tunel l and save those dying within.

ATTORNEY TUFTS DECLARES
 THAT HE IS INNOCENT

Boston, Oct. 5.-Nathan A Tufts, who was removed from the office of district attorney of Middlesex county last week by unanimous decision of the Massa- chusetts supreme court tonight issued his first statement, declaring himself an in- nocent and misjudged man.
 The court, which removed him after trial on charges of misuse of his office. did not find him guilty of dishonestry up- on any allegation, Mir. Tufts asserted. H. H""'a~'d that when the present hys- teria" was over he would be vindicat-
 am as innocent of charges of con- splracy as when I was a babe in my mothers arms" his statement said.
 Tn the few other instances and they are few, where I have been found gull ty of reprehensible conduct or of mis- conduct or of other things which mean the same, I submit to the public that my worst offense is that my hasty judg- ment in the tremendous pressure of the businessof the office, differs from the judgment of other men, however, learned and conscientious, who with ample time for calm reflection, for review and study of the law and the facts, and for the ex- ercise of 'higd sight think now that something different should be done"
 MT. Tufts asserted that he had express ly been found to be not guilty on almost all" of the more than 100 charges pre- ferred against him by Attorney General Allen. The state. he said, had idmitted by legislation passed this year that it did not give him enough court sessions to attend to the county's business.
 T had frequently 40 or 5e cases tc dispose of in a single day." MT. Tufts said. Tn the hurry and turmoil of the business of the office there is no doubt that I made mistakes"
 If I had known as much about these cases as I do now after hearing all the evidence given in the trial, I should have acted differently in numerous instances, he added
 Endicott P. Saltonstall. of Newton was namedtoday by Governor Cox to fiji out MT. Tufts unevpired time in the dis | trict attorneys office.
