THREE OTHERS INJURED

CHICAGO, Nov 19.-Nine persons
were instantly killed today when a
Santa Fe flyer struck a funeral car
on a crossing between Summit and
Lyons, IA miles west of Chicago. John
E. Pettoske, the undertaken in charge,
and four men, one woman, and three
boys were killed
Seven of the victims, all terribly

i'm, whose funeral was being held.
Three other passengers in the funer-
al car, man, woman, and child, were
severely injured.
Thye were taken to hospital where
efforts to learn from them the identity
of the dead were halted because of
their serious injuries.
The driver of the hearse which
crossed the track ahead of the train,
did not discover the rest of the funer-
al party was missing until he reached
the cemetery a mile away. The train,
pulled by two engines, travelled nearly
a mile before it could be brought to a
stop.

fragments of the machine were strewn
along the tracks for nearly mile.
The accident occurred at a bend in

SHIDEHARA IS
FRIENDLY TO
CHINA POINTS
Statement on Behalf Of Jap
anese Delegation Submitted
To Be Released Later
Through State Department.
STUDY NAVAL REQUEST
fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Nov. ia state
ment on behalf of Japan on several
questions relating to the far east was
made at today's session of the con-
ference committee on Pacific and far
eastern affairs.
1t was announced that a complete
public statement would be issued lat
er through the state department.
The delegates We're in session two
hours, and, it was announced, would
hold another meeting at p. m. Fri
day.
Another meeting of the American
delegates to the armament limitation
conference was called for O'Clock to-
day by Secretary Hughes.
Further information from the tech
nical committee on the naval limita-
tion program was expected. The 10
proposals submitted Thursday by the
Chinese delegation formed the basis
for the discussion at today's meeting
and all of the delegation heads were
understood to have expressed agree-
ment at least in principal with the
Chinese views
Baron Shidehara, who presented the
japanese viewpoint, was said to have
shown a friendly attitude toward the
Chinese proposals and to have indi-
Gated no material objection Japan
would have toward making them a
part of the proposed agreement on
far eastern and Pacific problems.
Ponder Jap Request
When the delegations of the nine
nations assembled again today to talk
about the far east, it was Japan to
whom they looked for the hint that
would reveal just what trend is to be
taken by the negotiations as they af-
feet China.
In the same way and perhaps with
an interest even more intense, the
naval experts of these powers were
pondering Japan's request for an in
crease in her proportionate naval
| strength, and were wondering whether
! she would raise a direct issue with the
| United States by proposing material
changes in the ratio fixed in the
American plan.
Japan's dsire for an increase in the
| proportional strength of her navy al
! though so far as known not yet form
ally presented to the special naval
committee of the five powers. had be.
come the dominant point today of in
| formal discussion in conference cir
! cles.
/ With the American delegation ad-
herring firmly to the principle upon
which the naval ratio for Japan was
arrived at in its proposal, this prom
| ised to become the most tightly drawn
issue Of the conference.
Aspect 6roadened
/ The aspect of the armament negotia-
| tions was broadened today as a result
of the disclosure of the administra-
tion's purpose not to limit the prospec-
tive limitation agreement to the ma
, tions represented at the conference
but to ask the participation of any
other interested nations.
In connection with such an agree
ment, administration officials ex-
pressed the belief that unless it took
tht form of a treaty rather than an
understanding of policy, the entire
program for this nation, including the
scrapping of warships. could be put
through without congressional action.
They could not predict. however.
which of these forms it would take if
consunmated.

Women. both young and old,
have been cultivating an extreme

six years. Now comes news from
Paris that an attitude of mystery
and a distinguished mien have
gained the upper hand.
White locks have replaced bob

a part of their hair to obtain a dis
tinguished effect.
There is a distinct slump in
roguish faces, tangled babyish
curls, and schoolgirls of 35. Even
the youngest women are trying to
look older than they are, and have
cast their tomboy frocks aside.
Frocks, hats, coats. evening
