I BELIEVED DEAD
IN TRACTION CRASH
Forty Injured in Indiana Hos
pitaIs-Nine Victims
Burned to Death.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
FORTVILLE, Ind, February 1.-The
death toll of the wreck of two Indiana
Union Traction Company trains, which
collided head-on near here late today,
will probably reach seventeen, rescue
workers said tonight. Nine badly
charred bodies have been removed from
two cars that We're destroyed by fire
and seven other bodies are believed to
be in the wreckage. One man injured
in the wreck died later in an Anderson,
Ind, hospital. Forty injured have been
removed to hospitals at Anderson and
indianapolis.
The known dead are:
DR.. Z. Blain Haskin, Indianapolis, of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture bureau of animal industry.
John Hutchens, Indianapolis, traction
company employe, died in hospital
The cars were of wooden construction
and all that remained Of them was a
mass of smoking embers and red hot
brake rods and trucks.
Each train consisted of a motor
car and trailer. The motor cars
were telescoped and most of the dead
and injured were in these cars. Pas
sengers in the trailers escaped with
minor injuries.
Victims Pinned Under Wreckage.
The motormen on both trains
escaped with slight injuries as they
jumped before the collision.
The injured were given first aid
treatment by physicians of this place
and by others rushed here on a spe-
cial car from Anderson. Ambulances
with medical officers and enlisted
men from the medical detachment at
Fort Benjamin Harrison were also
sent to the wreck.
Hundreds of persons were on the
scene within a few minutes after the
collision, but were unable to help
the victims pinned beneath the
wreckage of the burning cars.
A number of injured were taken to
indianapolis on a work train of the
New York Central railroad, whose
tracks parallel those Of the traction
company.
The bodies that were recovered
were burned so that Identification
was almost impossible.

DEMOCRATS FIRM

A Treasury estimate that the
Garner plan would mean a loss of

this might be done, however, was
not disclosed.

Waits End Calmly.
Resigned to the inevitable and quite
ready, Mr.. Wilson waited patiently and
bravely for the end.
How he struggled through the early
hours between midnight and yesterday s
dawn-the hours when life reaches its
low ebb-was a marvel to his physi-
clans. They feared that his soul would
float out on the great tide before day
light.
But sleeping lightly, breathing stead

weathered the dangerous hours, and
