UPPER HOUSE WOULD EMeAR.

Washington. Dec rs President

to adopt Senator Eorah's proposal
Tor a new international economic

such q conference.
The presidents letter was sent to
ing the senate's second day OF debate
on the Borah proposal, which is en-
bodied in an amendment to the naval
appropriation bill The president
acted directly to block senate action
after he had consulted with Secretary
Hughes and after Lodge had visited
the White House and had reported
on the program made in the deter
mined fight already being waged
against the Borah amendment by ad-
ministration leaders
Without discussing details OF what
he is doing the president suggested
that congress might be helpful by
freeing the hands OF the allied debt
commission, He also declared that
the separations question was the
foundation of European difficulties
an dthat this nation cannot assume
TO say to one nation what il shall
pay in separations nor to another
what il shall accept AS for further
armament limitations also provided
for in the Borah plan, Harding warn
ed against what might be a gesture
Of promise to the world which can
not be fulfilled until the nations d..
rectly concerned express their readi-
ness to cooperate to such an end.
Lodge told the senate that he
could not state explicitly the nature
OF the administration negotiations for
"A conference, but was authorized to
say they did not include cancellation

"a" TRAIN DEM0LISHES
AUTO; THREE INJURED
Continued from page J.,

Heath, the chauffeur, seeing the ser
thought it best to place one of the less
seriously in the cab. With the aid
of the train crew he placed Calhoun
in the cab and rushed him to the hos
pital, passing the ambulance on the
way.
When the ambulance arrived it was
thought best to put the two injured
men in the cab, but. seeing that Grant
Meyers was not seriously injured the
ambulance took Theodore Meyers, who
was in an unconscious condition. After
bringing him 10 the hospital, Il quick
return trip was made and the other
injured man was rushed to the hos
pital.
Doctors Arrive.
The cali for surgeons brought Doc
tors Jameson, Clune, Parr and Sawyer
to the hospital. Each of the doctors
took one of the patients to work on,
the latter two working on Theodore
Meyers, the most seriously injured of
the three men.
AS far as could be learned there was
no eye witnesses to the accident, save
the train crew and the injured men
themselves The switching outfit, that
was standing on the track about two
blocks away didn't see the men come
up on the tracks. although looking
that way, and didn't realize that there
was something wrong until they heard
the shriekinE Of car brakes. Members
Of the crew then rushed to the acct
dent and We're rendering first aid when
the ambulance arrived.
The fact that the train was travel
ing at such a fast rate OF speed that
it took 300 feet to stop it, is explained
by the fact that it was coming down
grade when the crash occurred. 1t is
customary for the engineer to slow
up at the other side of the bridge
for the station which is about five
blocks away from the canal.
Always a Dangerous Corner
The corner where the accident oc-
Cured Is a very dangerous crossing
and there is no flagman there, only a
bell for the day time and light at
night, being the only warning signals
II used TO be that there was man on
duty at the crossing but short time
ago the railroad on the plea of cutting
down expenses was given the right of
doing away with the fagman at the
crossing Even with a fiagman, the
crossing is very dangerous to anyone
approaching from the east, due to the
fact that the King & Hamilton Com.
pany warehouse completely cuts off
the view of the south bound approach
ing train, with the result that car
may be on the tracks before the ap.
preaching train can be seen.
Conditions Unchanged.
At $50 this afternoon the cundi.
} ton of the three men was reported
to be unchanged. Ted Meyers was
reported to be slowly regaining con.
sciousness. Calhoun and Grant Mey-
ers are both resting easy.
