 Those probably fatally hurt were:
 Mrs. Ethel Merriman. Mrs. Mary Berling, Charles L. Kepner, Mar garet Pauley, Mrs. Pearl Wheeler Edgewood.
 Bodies Hurled About
 Songs on the lips of the revslers changed to shrieks of horror as the speeding traction car bore down on the trailer. smashing on and hurl- ing bodies In all directions. Five persons were caught in the crush ed-in vestibule Of the interurban car and their bodies carried several blocks.
 Only a few who had started on the party just q few minutes before escaped death or injury.
 Three sons-in-law. a daughter and a nephew of Mir and Mrs. Pauley, were killed. Another daughter is not expected to live, while third daughter is in the hospital with a fair chance for recovery

 MOtOrmans Story
 w, W. Merrill, motorman of the interurban, said he sounded his whistle as he approached the cross ing. His statement was substanti- ated by Hal Titus, conductor. Mer- rill's leg was broken when he was thrown back into the baggage com partment Despite his injuries, Mer- Till dragged himself to the controls and stopped the car. The stove in the vestihule was sent flying and struck Titus, burning him about the face.
 Stewart driver of the motor truck. said the first indication he had that anything was wrong was when his machine leaped forward as the trailer was cut from 1t.
 Not First Tragedy
 This was not the first fatal ac- cident that has occurred at that crossing. Two small white crosses stand as silent reminders that two other persons had lost their lives there. The view to the crossing is not obstructed but it is necessary to climb small grade to approach the tracks.
 So violent was the crash that bod les were hurled for many feet. The noise aroused the sparseiy settled Neighborhood and first aid was luiCMy administered. Several Of he dead and injured had been rush d to homes nearby and from there | o Indianapolis hospitals and nor uaries. resulting In considerable {. confusion in locating and identify . ns the dead and injured.

NATIONS ID END
 RADIO DISPUTES
International Conference Seeks
 to Sign Peace Compact

Washington. Nov. 25 Pl-The in- ternational radio conerence was called together today to give its final approval to a new international wireless convention.
 The compact will be the last word in efficient and scientific radio regu- laton. it's drafters declare, combin- ing elasticity for future improve ments with elimination of past out standing communication difficulties The delegates of 79 nations and territories assembled to pass in sec ond and last reading on the new document which the conference has been busy negotiating since Octo- Der 4. The ceremony of signing the treaty was next on the program.
 Under terms of the convention the original of the treaty will be preserved in the state department here where the exchange of ratiti- cations also will take place.
 A farewell address by Secretary Hoover, chairman of the conference, also was on the program, together with speeches of appreciation pre- pared by most of the chiefs of the leading delegations. X special cerc- lnony by the conference was ocCa- stoned by the sudden death of Rear Admiral Bullard. retired, chairman of the federal radio commission and an American delegate.
 On account of the insolubla dead lock which developed during the conference regarding the allocation of votes among countries for future references, and the uncertainty therefore as to the number of sig natories which each national dele gation would be allowed to affix to the convention, an agreement was reached setting no limit upon the signatures of any delegation. The provision was added, however, that the number of these would provide no claim for votes in future con- ferences.
 The new conventions chief differ ence from the previous 1912 treaty and its peculiar importance arise principally from It's allocation of wave lengths to the various inter national radio services and in the provisions for new radio activities whose possibilities were not even suspected in 1912,
 The bulk of the convention and of the regulations dealing wit radio procedure, with rules for the operation of fixed and shift stations, for distress and ordinary communi- cations and other routine cases, does not differ materially from the previous regulations.
 Even one of the chief sources Of satisfaction to the American dele- gation, namely. the principle which has been firmly established in this conference of maintaining all pri- vate operation of radio concerns free from governmental interfer- ence. Is not strictly speaking in con- flict with the provisions of the pre- vious radio convention.

 Among the messages was q letter from Judge Ben Lindsey. Denver, Col, who sponsored the companion ate marriage theory.

LEES BIG TROUBLE
 WITH ATHLETICS
Ii Philadelphia Team Can Step
 Their Chances Are Good

Fort Myers Fla. March i5 lTo- Legs are the rub in the camp of the Philadelphia Athletics. f q base ball team plays on it's legs as an army travels on is stomach. Con nie Mack may he able to read his
 baseball fortune in the pins of some
 Of his far famed athletes
 Six ancient legs supporting three Philadelphia recruits are likely to tell the tale. Ty Cobb is forty years Of age and has been an American
 league star for 22 years. Eddie Col lin2 is 3a and ha- spent IS years in the same league. Zach Wheat $. has played $ years in the National league. II seems certain that the great trio will start the season in the Athletic lineup, Collins at sec ord, Cobb in right and Wheat in left. No question has been raised as 10 the ability of ell three to hit 1 hard and often but only time will tell f they can field as they must to make tho As ponHaut con-endcrs. Another new player on whom Comic Mack pins confident hope is
 Boley, q more youngster of 2S, 1 Botoy, who is called Joe although his name is Jack. will play short stop. with Chick Galloway, the clubs regular short fielder for seven years. subject to call.
 Eddie Collins. who will captain the team, has not seemed so spry in the spring as his fellow veterans, Cobb and Wheat, and Max Bishop may get more opportunity than the substitutes for the outnclders, Cobb will not be content 10 he an inspiration" although Manager i Mack has declared that as such he Will be worth all he costs the club,
 If he doesn't play ton games" The 1 former Detroit manager expects 10 ! play the string out something he ! has not done since 1921.
 No club in either league will be so ] well fortified in reserve material as the Athletics. Eight inf"ldors will be carried throughout, with a deci- sion ? adin@ as to whether five or six outfelders will be retained. If two sets Of outnelders are kept the | pitching staff will include eight in- stead O. ninc members. all veterans. Sammy Hale will play third base with Jimmy Reyes aa his substitute. There i, still q question as 10 whcth- ! CT Jim Poole or Dudley Eranom, purchased from Kansas City. will i take care of first.
 Wheat Simmons and Cobb will be | the outfcld trio with French and
 Lamar in reserve if the supply is | limited to five.
 | Eight pitchers. four right handlers and as many left handlers, have been retained from last season. Tho right handlers includc Howard Ehmkc, Sam Gray, Jack Quinn and Eddie Eommcll The southpaws are Bob
 Grove, Joe Pate, George Walberg and Charles Willis.
 The catching will be taken care Of | by the acct Gordon Cochrane and ! Ralph Perkins with James Fox also available.
 Zach Wheat seems to have taken
 q new lease on life and it seems cer- 1 tain that he will be the regular left 1 fielder and q powerful factor in the olIense of the club.

(BY BILLY EEANS)

The addition of one star player often transforms q good ball club into a pennant winner.
 By the same line Of reasoning the addition O: two star players should positively guarantee q championship.
 Never before in the history Of ba.st ball has there been such . wholesale shift O players as during the winter of 192G-27.
 Trading or outstanding stars, more or less a rarity in the of season, has been q common happening since the close Of the 1926 campaign. 4 number Of clubs in both major leagues hope 10 profit from these trades.
 r. has been two years since John McGraw won q pennant for New York in the National league. That is q long time for John to be in the pionship background. Pittsburgh turned him back in 19c5 while St. Louis, a dark horae, went over last season.
 When clubs managed by John McGraw which he regards as pen nant possibilities fail 10 win for him, he begins 10 change faces. McGraw doesn't believe in sinking each year with the same snip.
 This year two of the biggest stars in the National league will try 10 supply the Giants viii h some Of the punch in the field and at the bat that they have lacked for two sea sons in an effort to finish in front They are none other than the great Rogers Hornsby and the brilliant E11ie Roush.
 Three years ago NcGraw thought Frankie Frisch the greatest bail player in the National league. He apparently has weakened on Frirch, since he went 70 tho Cardinals in the trade for Hornsby. McGrav, who is seldom wrong in his base ball deductions, figures Hornsby will be more valuable than Frsch.
 A weakness in the ouGe'1 has for several years handicapped the Giants In an effort to remedy this fault the Giant manager parted with George Kelly to procure the brilliant veteran, Ed lie Rousch. Ten years ago Rouscb played brioi | engagement with the Giants and Was ! passed on to Cincinnati, whore he | became ont of the grcatoet oUtilcl1- CTS in the game. He comes 10 the Giants with his best days behind | him but he is still q marvellous per l former.
 Will Rogers Hornsby and Eddie l Eousch give 10 the Giants a p@nnant punch? Manager McGraw thinks | so.
 To th" contrary, Bob OTarrel1 who succeeded Hornsby as manager Of the Cardinals feels that F'risc, will be able 70 fill the bill at second and help the world champs repeat
 Someone is going 10 be disappoint. cd on that swap, for there can h ] only one pcnnant winner, In the American league, three o tn" biggest stars in the organization Cobb, Collins and Speaker, hay, ! changed clubs
 Connie Mack feels that Cobb an, Collins will add the required initia
 tive, polso and brains 10 put th'
 Athletics over, while Clark Griffitl
 figures his club is q cinch sine,
 Speaker was signed.
 More disappoin'monts. Yc' thor.
 is no denying that the shifting 0 ] these stars to other clubs is goini
 10 add renewed zcst and interest t
 both major league races
