 Train No. 32 arrived at 3:z0. fol- lowed by No. in an hour. No. 32 car ried nine dead and more than 30 sur vivors. Waiting ambulances rushed the injured to hospitals.
 Miss Lennie Walker, a waitress, 19, of St. Louis, was heroine of the telescoped local, according to fellow passengers. She was passenger of the third car from the rear of the local train. a steel constructed coach. which was thrown from the train.

ALLIED STATESMEN GATHER FORLONDON
 INDEMNITY FARLEY.
Meeting Said to Be Most Mo- mentous Since Signing of Peace-Debts to Be
 Considered
By Associated Press

London, August 6.-Allied states
 men are gathering tonight for the
 opening tomorrow of what seems universally regarded as the most mo-
 mentous conference since peace was concluded.
 The immediate concern of the con ference Is the question of reparatlons and Germanys request for a mora torium, but since the delivery last week of the note of the Earl of Bal four it Is assumed that tho ques- tion of interallied indebtedness cam
 not be excluded from the discuss
 sions. especially as Premier Poin- care of France Is credited with bringing a plan for the extinction of tho German separations bonds in exchange for cancellation of the French debt to Great Britain.
 ss. Meets Little Sympathy
 This plan meets with little sym pathy in England because. 1t is cons tended, these German bonds, being admittedly worthless, Great Britain would gain nothing, but by forgiving the French debt. would lose the last weapon she possesses for bringing pressure to bear on France on arm aments or on any policy in which France might run counter to British ideas. The situation is further com plicated by the ultimatum France delivered to Germany concerning Germanys payments on account of clearing house debts and the meas ures France already has ordered taken.
 Little hope seems to be entertained here that the conference will be sue cessful, although 1t Is fully recog- nized that In view of the swift fall in the value of the mark a situation has been reached in which halfway measures no longer will be of avail.
 Lloyd George to Participate
 Great Britain will be represented by Premier Lloyd George, Austen Chamberlain. lord of the privy seal; Earl Curzon, Sir Robert S. Horne, chancellor of the exchequer. and Sir Lamng Worthington Evans, sec fetdry TOT war.
 Principal visiting delegates will be Premier Poincaire and M. DeLastey- rie, France; Signor Schanzer, Italian foreign minister. and Signor Paratore and M Jaspar and M. Theunis. Bel gium.
 Both M. Theunis and M. Jaspar to- night said the greatest care and ret icence was advisable owing to the delicate nature of the conference. They said that the present was too confused to permit responsible statesmen to make detailed state- ments. It was intimated by Belgian | delegates, however, that Belgium | would have deal to say In the con ference, because, if a moratorium l were. granted Germany, Belgium | would be the first to suffer. They | left the impression that It was their | view that Belgium cannot exist | reparstion payments.
 Signor Schanzer admitted Italy haf her own ideas as to the situatioA but that he had brought no definiteV plan.

 Unions Remain Firm
 Union representatives remained firm In the opinion that President would not ask them to com promise further on seniority points, and gave out the impression that they had gone the limit in accepting his original offer and professed ig- norance as to what his reconsidera- ton of the problem might develop.
 The union leaders expect other unions not on strike to fol- low up tomorrow the program of making representations to the Pres dent concerning the bad condition Into which they claim the strike has put railroad rolling stock. This was begun Saturday by legislative agents of three of the train service brother hoods ganizations. the engineers trainmen and firemen. and engine men, and the intimation left that willie not contemplating actual strl Se, employees in transportation service outside of the shop crafts might idopt policy of refusing service. in ! semi ganized fashion. on trains or at line points where difficulty and ianger in working trains or facilities S claimed to exist because of im- proper or insufficient shop work.
