Weight on Rear Screen Door.

inch shell on the back porch OF a
house in Dimmick street. occupied by

Salisbury.
The children were playing croQuet in

Practically all of the clothing was
blown off the bodies of the children.
Fragments of it lodged in trees and
house tops in the vicinity. The bodies
were horribly mutilated but identifi-
cation was possible in every instance.
One of the first physicians on the
scene was DR.. F. ". Jones. Lifting
a covering which had been placed over
one of the forms, he recognized the
body of his 12-year-old daughter,
Vivian, by means of an adhesive dress
ing he had placed on a cut on her
leg barely a half hour before. He did
know his daughter was in the
group and he was almost overcome
with grief.

PROPOSAL MEETS
GOOD WILL Of OPERATORS
Of ANTHRACITE REGIONS
Only Condition Made Is That Commission Have
Set Time to Announce Result; Agree to Put
Men Back at Old Rates but Want Schedule
Announced by August 10; President Pleased.

Washington, July 12-The proposal put forward by Presi-
dent Harding for arbitration of the differences in the coal in
dustry was formally accepted late Wednesday by the anthracite
operators.
The acceptance was announced from the White House after
representatives of the operators from the anthracite field had
called on the president. 1t was clear when the anthracite OPP
orators left after the call that the response to the presidents
arbitration offer had been favorable to acceptance and that the
only condition made to do with fixing a definite limit in time
for the arbitration commission contemplated to take in fixing
new wage scales. The president was said to be satisfied with the
proposal and the anthracite operators arranged to make their
letters of response public at once.
The anthracite operators letter to the president declared
themselves committed to arbitration but asked the president to
appoint a separate commission to consider the wage scales for
their section of the coal industry alone, and while agreeing to
put men back to work at old scales, asked that the proposed
commission be instructed to fix new scales before August 10.
John L. Lewis, president of the miners union, said the
anthracite operators acceptance of arbitration would be con-
sidered along with the question of arbitration in the bituminous
field when the general union policy committee assembled Sat
urday.

two men were the first to reach the

They were greeted by a scene of
utter desolation. The Workman

lay the eight bodies and over all d
gray pallor of concrete dust was be-
ginning to settle.
Fragments of clothing were sus-

roof of a building 200 feet away.
Blocks of concrete were blown against
neighboring houses and into the
streets and surrounding yards.

known as a "dud." The projectile had

brought it home as a souvenir.

5 KILLED.; 40 HURT
As TRAINS COLLIDE
r. O--~-
NEAR KANSAS CITY
Passenger Half Hour Late and
Confusion About Wait
Said Responsible.

Kansas City. Mo-, July 12.-Five
persons were killed and 40 injured,
most Of them seriously, when the Mis-
souri, Pacific Scenic Limited flyer,
westbound. from st. Louis to Califor-
mia. collided head-on with a local
freight train near here Wednesday
night.
The flier, running half an hour late,
left st. Louis at 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning, after connecting with a Penn
sylvania railroad fast train from New
York and Philadelphia. Most of the
passengers were from the east. a rail
road official said Wednesday night.
The train makes few stops in Missouri
and Kansas.
Misunderstood orders are believed to
have been the cause of the wreck. Ac-
ccrding to- the rules OF the road, a
freight train must seek a siding Is
minutes before a passenger train is
due, regardless of other orders. 1t is
believed the fact that the train was

freight train.
The collision took place at the base
OF a long downgrade. at the edge of
Kansas City's largest park.

fusal to accept the results of the arbi-
tration of the labor board. the letter
declared that no conference contingent
on the abandonment Of the decision of

cooperation with those on strike in

The letter added, however, that "a

would permit the resumption of former
