Thompson, publisher of The Birmingham Age-Herald, Mobile Reg ister, Mobile News Item and Mont gomep y Journal.
 Both declared that Mir. Thompson needed no defense that he had shown himself capable of caring for himself; that citizens pay no more attention to "charges of that kind;" than they do to anonymous letters, but that in behalf of a fellow citizen they desired to let it be known that MT Loug's statement could not go unchallenged.
 MT, Holcombe and MT. Kilborn stated that they spoke for the entire Mobile delegation in the legislature. One by one they took up MT. Longs statements They showed that Mir. Thompson does not now nor has ever owned any property in Mobile which is suitable for sites for docks, and that instead of Mir.

LaShing Current Sweeps Over WreCkage, Preventing Res cue Of Passengers ImpriS- oned In The Coaches
FLOOD WATERS CAUSE BRIDGE TO GIVE WAY
Impossible To Accurately Es- innate Number Of Dead, But 40 Of 80 Passengers On Train Believed Safe


 CASPER, Wyo, Sept 2S.-(By as sociated Press.)--Out in the sandy loam country near Lockett, Wyo, 15 miles east of Casper. where creeks generally are but little larger than irrigation ditches. a furious, flashing current tonight is sweeping over the same hour last night was the crack casper-Denver Burlington railroad train No. 30.
 A conservative estimate of the dead is placed at 40.
 The train, composed of a locomo- tive, baggage, mail and express cars and two o-day coaches and two pull mans, plunged through bridge across Coal creek shortly after leaV- ing here at S:15 o'clock last night
 The train was made up in Casper and was due to arrive in Denver at l0:05 o'clock this morning. All of the train except the rear Pullman dropped into the torrent.
 Rain and snow continued falling all day. Rescue workers, striving to find a way to reach the bodies of victims known to be imprisoned d beneath the rushing waters, were helpless. Several hundred of them, re- cruited from Casper and Glenrook, stood on the banks of the creek in

 As the day wore on. newspaper re- porters noticed that the submerged ears slowly were settling in the flood waters.
 Ehree Bodies Recovered.
 No additional bodies were reeov- sred from the wreck this afternoon and the known dead consist of Nich- olas Schmetz of Douglas, Wyo.; D. F. Schultz of Casper, a baggageman, and an unknown man who was beat ing his way on the trucks of the baggage car. It is impossible to ac- curately estimate the number of lives taken by the wreck. The estimate of 40 some maintain Is much too low while railroad authorities say fewer lives were lost. The exact num5e probably will not be known for many days. or approximately so persons be- lieved to have been passengers on the train, about 40 have been ac- counted for in the list of dead and survivors. The estimate is based on statements made by passengers who passed through the day coaches prios to the wreck. These coaches are still submerged.
 Newspapermen returning from the scene of the wreck late today said no more bodies would be recovered until tomorrow morning due to the high flood waters. The flood current

MAY OPEN HOSPITALS TO ALL WAR VETERANS
Coolidge FavOrs Suggestion Of Vet
 erans Of Foreign Wars

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Opening of veterans hospitals to former serv- ice men regardless of whether their disabilities are of service or of non service origin, likely will be adopted as a permanent policy in the opinion of President Coolidge.
 Such a proposal was presented to the President several days ago by a delegation representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars and has appealed to the President as worthy of consid- eration The delegation suggested that the government hospitals be opened to veterans of all wars and for all sorts of disabilities. There are thousands of vacant beds in vet erans hospitals. Inasmuch as it often is difficult to ascertain whether the disability of a former service man is of service origin and as the deter imitation of such point sometimes works an injury to veterans, the President believes that it would be a Beneficial policy to open up the hos pitals He feels that Congress would approve such step.

 Commander Pye said he observed nothing dangerous about the course which the Delphy, flagship of the squadron, was steering, until she led the column in a sharp turn eastward which. on the basis of a radio com fpass bearing just received, would carry them head on into the main Hand. He had scarcely made a mental observation to this effect, however, he added. when the shrieking of the Delphy's siren told him she had struck,
