New York, Sept. 26.-A pistol battle in a third floor corridor of the Grand Central station, in which eighteen shots were fired, resulted today in three men fleeing after att tempting to hold up two railroad employees who had a satchel of cash.

RELATIVE OF LOCAL
 MAN MAY BE DROWNED
Brother of Dr. Waterman Lyon Reported Missing
 At Long Beach, Calf.

Long Beach, Calif, Sept. 26.-Life- guards are patrolling the beach daily on the alert to find the body of N. Curtis Lyon, brother of pr. Water man Lyon, of New Britain Ct, it being the generally accepted theory that discovery of the formers cloth ing, save for his undergarments, on the sands here Sept. IT, together with his diamond pin, diamond ring and personal papers, told a story of suicide. The police took charge of the effects discarded on the beach by Lyon. They were told by two young girls that the clothing had been seen by them on the strand at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Sept. 16. Lyon said goodbye to his wife and seven children the morning of that day, planning to go first to the Long Beach Shipbuilding companys plant, where for eight years he had been auditor, and then to local bank to arrange for extension of note. Inability to carry out that ar engagement was believed by his wife to have climaxed his worries over financial matters. Lyon was 42 and came here Srom Lawrence Mass, where 17 years ago he married Miss Elizabeth Wood, daughter of MT. and Mrs. N. E. Wood, now of Los Angeles, Calif.
 The above dispatch was received at the Herald this morning. Inquires at Doctor Lyons home revealed the fact that his local relative had not been notified of the disappearance of N Curtis Lyon. Mrs. Waterman Lyon stated to a reporter that a letter was received from N Curtis Lyon dated Setember 15, and it was written when in a cheerful state of mind

 This Confeence Will Be
 Beneficial to Entire World.

Washington. Sept. 2s.-The nation al unemployment conference which the administration hopes will evolve means of putting the nations invol- untary idle back to work was formally opened here today by President Hard Ing.
 A War Inheritance.
 Addressing the half hundred indus trial economic and labor leaders com prising the conference. the president described the Kresent industrial de- prersion as "a war inheritance throughout tho world" for which as applied to tho United States he added Inc would have little enthusiasm for , any proposed relief which seeks either pailiation or tonic from the public treasury" '.
 Service to the World.
 Belief was expressed by the presi- dent that the results of the conference would extend beyond the borders of tho United States and that the dele gates in their deliberations would be performing ''a service to the world"
 U. s. Not Impaired.
 Fundamentally sound. financially strong. industriaIiy unimpaired. com mcrcialiy consistent and politically unafrnid" tho president asserted
  body in the United States who chooses to work. and our condition at home and our place in the world depends on everybody going to work and pur- suing it with that patriotism and de- votion which make a fortunate and happy people"
 How to Go About It.
 The president declared that ''the open. sure and onward way to rid tho nation of the wars aftermath of depression involved Liquidation. re- organization, re-adjustment, re-estab- lishment. taking account of things done. and sober contemplation of things to be done" Any other way, he added. was only hugging a dclu- sion.
 The delegates were told by Mir. Harding that they had not been in- vited into tho conference ito solve the long controverted problems of our social system" and that Secretary Hoover whom he had designated as chairman of tho conference would lay before them the program of discus sions

SUNDAY AUTO SMASHES
WORRY STATE OFFICIALS
Governor, Baughman And MackaIl
Seeking Causes and Preven-
tive Measures

Three State Officials are worried a.
bout the regular Sunday toll of deaths
and injuries as result of automo-
bile accidents. They are Governor Rit-
chic, Automobile Commissioner
Baughman and Chairman Mackell. of
the State Roads Commission. AL
though they have puzzled their brains
over the situation for considerable
time, none know how to solve the
problem.
THE situation is serious" said Gov
ernor Richie yesterday, "and seems to
be growing worse all the time. The
Sunday toll of deaths and injuries
from automobile accidents is appal-
ling, yet there seems to be no way of
meeting the situation, except. possibly.
by educating automobile drivers to the
dangers of Sunday travel, and making
them understand the need of extraor-
binary care when the roads are crowd
ed, as they are on every fair Sunday.
We have laws enough and as MANY
officers for the enforcement of the
laws as we can get until the Legis
lature meets again. The State DO
lice ought to help the situation some
what by watching for speeders and
reckless drivers, but until we can get
more of them l am afraid we cannot
do great deal. By the way, one of
them was run down on the Annapolis
Boulevard last Sunday and had his
ankle broken.
The crowds on the State roads ON
Sundays are enormous and there is al
ways so much danger that l have Civ

the necessity of having a greater req
ulation of the situation than could
possibly be given by the average
County Sheriff and his deputies, were,
IN large measure, responsible for the
organization of the State police force.
He has announced that he intends
to go after the speeders the road hogs
and the reckless drivers with all the
authority at his command, and hopes
in time to materially lessen the num-
Der of accidents on the State roads.

degree of its seriousness.
IF this chart shows that any of
these accidents are caused by danger
GUS conditions along the road, such as
bad curves, Instructions to the view
ahead, lack of warning signals, or the
like, we shall remedy these conditions
as rapidly as possible. We know of
certain places that are dangerous, and
there are plenty of warning signs at
these places. Singularly enough, few
accidents occur at these places, be-
cause the danger is so apparent.
80 far as we have gone, we have
found thai most of the accidents oc-
cur at places that are ordinarily safe.

body, my concern is lest some fool
should run into me. No one can guard
against the fool who uses the roads
for speedway when they are crowd
ed, so stay at home.
"The situation is not one that can
be remedied by laws. We have laws
a-plenty to meet all conditions. Road
officials in other states tell me we have
more laws and better laws to govern
the automobile traffic than any other
State in the Union, and that they are
enforced at least so per cent better
than the laws of other states are en-
forced. The only solution, it seems
to me, is to divorce the fool, the reck-
less driver and the careless driver
from the automobile, but how to do it
is too much of a problem for me-"
