persons were injured. three probably

stalled train on the Sixth avenue line
at Columbus avenue and Sixty-ninth
street last night. More than 1000
passengers on the two trains were
thrown into panic. Fire accom-
panied the collision.
Trains carrying home excursion
lists from seaside resorts we're run
ming in close succession, when a fire
started in the wheelbox of a car two
trains ahead Of those that crashed.
The passengers of the train in
trouble were ordered out. The fol-
lowing train attempted to push the
stalled train into the yards near the
polo grounds. The heavy burden was
too much, and a short circuit re-
suited. throwing out the power of
the whole line.
A following train also was stalled,
and then the fourth train, travelling
under its momentum after the cur
rent went off, crashed into the
stalled train just ahead. The rear
vestibule of one train and the front
vestibule of the other were tele-
sccped.
Already excited when the lights
went off, the passengers were
thrown into a panic. Cries Of two
men. imprisoned in the wreckage,
rose high over the screams Of other
passengers, many of whom were
women and children.
The telescoped cars caught fire,
but the flames were extinguished
quickly. Then firemen extricats ed
and assisted them down
ladders to the street.

(By Kenneth w. Simons)

jamestown, N. D., July 3O.-lP-
Nonpartisans gathered in conven.
tion here today and took stock OF
their political wounds and political
resources.
AS to their wounds there was little
argument. But the subject of their
resources was producing a real argu-
ment. Some delegates were out
spoken in their opinion that the
presidential candidacy Of Governor
Smith Of New York constituted q
resource for the Nonpartisan League
in North Dakota.
For 10 years the League has heen
considered a faction Of the Repub-
llcan party and has placed candi-
dates in the Republican primary. 1t
had candidates in the Republican
primary election last June-but
some of them were defeated and
therein lies the rub.
The proposal which was being
most generally discussed this morn
ing was one to place Nonpartisans
on the Democratic ticket at the fall
election.
These Nonpartisans would run for
those offices for which Independent
Republicans were nominated at the
June primary, chief among them
being the governorship, attorney
generalship and commissionership Of
agriculture and labor.
An idea which was being advanced
by many delegates was that there
would be plenty Of money behind
the Smith presidential campaign this
year. Their idea was to get some of
it for the Democratic ticket and
then concentrate on beating the In
dependent Republican nominees.
Three Questions Raised
Three questions were being raised
with regard to this proposition.
They were:
Would it not wreck the Nom
partisan League to join with the
Democrats this fall
2-Will the Democrats have the
anticipated campaign fund and if SO
can the Nonpartisans get any or .
substantial portion of it?
3-What effect would coalition
with the Democrats have on the
senatorial candidacy of Lynn j.

full in winning the Republican nomi-
nation at the primary.
Frazier is opposing the move to
join with the Democrats as is James
H. Sinclair, Nonpartisan congress
man from the third district. They
see nothing which the party could
gain by such a program and they
see trouble for themselves if the
Democrats make q strong CAM
paign.

RIVER SURVEY
PLAN OUTLINED

praised to Determine Its
Economic Value to State
CONFERENCE HELDTODAY
Flood Control, Irrigation,

Factors Determined

A complete appraisal of the value
of the Missouri river to North Da-
kota will be made by U. S. army
engineers in accordance with the
provisions Of the flood control act,
Major G. R. Young, U. S. army dis
trict engineer of Kansas City, who
is in Bismarck today, stated.
He arrived last night accompanied
by Lieut.. j. NJ. Young, of the Kansas

kota Association. The two army
men held conference this morning

president Of the Missouri River Oi-
srsion Association, for a tour Of
e area to be benefited by the pro-
scd diversion project.
"Our department will make q
cmplete report to congress on the
tasibility and economic value Of the
version project" Major Young
stated. Lieut.. Young will be in
charge Of the work.
