" lN'N FsSVNihA'N ilNtFt
 Starogard, Poland, May 2,--There is still great diversity of opinion concerning tho cause of the derail- ing of the Eydtkuhnen- Berlin ex- press near here yesterday in which, according 10 official reports, 2S per sons were killed and 32 injured, l4 seriously.
 Tho conductors of the three sleep ing cars insist that the accident was due 10 criminal attempt, and the Dan2ig police. in response to a re- quest, have sent a police dog to bo put on the trail of the possible per pctrators.
 On the other hand it is pointed out that another express train passed the same point only 20 min utes before and that 1t is hardly possible that the rails would have been tempered with sufficiently in such a brief time as to cause the derailment.
 Those inclining 10 this view charge that the road was in such bad re- pair that the bolts became loosened from the ties.
 Warsaw, Poland, May 2.--Inves- tigation of the derailing of the Eydt- kuhnen- Berlin express train near Starogard in the Polish corridor, yesterday shows that the disaster, which cost 2S lives and the injury Of 32, was caused by foul play. Iiolts were found to have been re moved from the rails. and a crow bar was discovered 50 yards from the scene.
 Belief is expressed In official quarters that it was the work either of communist tcrrorists or German nationalists seeking 10 prove it i'm possible 10 maintain the Polish cor ridor, the strip of land by which Poland was given an outlet to the soa iD the aftcr-war settlement.
 When news Of the wreck was re- ccivod here relief corps were or ganized and rushed 10 the scene in special trains. The vice minister of railroads and general staff repre- sentative went in an airplane.
 Tho majority of those killed were Germans. The Polish railroad min 'stry has tolcgrnphed its condo lcnccs 10 tho German government.

pursued narrow course and lacked
any movement of especial significance.
Some 2O-Point Advances.
The greater part of trading interest
during the week was attached to the
accumulation of a long list of public
utility stocks, many of which moved
over a wide range, and several were
established at new high records. The

for consolidating closely related cor

Commonwealth Power was the most
prominent feature. moving up nearly
20 points. The widest movement was
in Carolina Power, which ranged from

important movements was an advance
