By w. J. G. MYERS

Houston, June oS Rp-Connecti- cut carried her banners high in the air twice yesterday when the demo- cratic national convention was rock ed by tumultuous demonstrations The first time was at the morning session when Chairman Joe Robin son demanded religious tolerance such as Virginia wrote into her con- stltution and the second time was in the evening when almost the entire delegate body and enormous audi ence went frantic over the name of Gov. smith coming from his sponsor Franklin D. Roosevelt.

RESCUERS FACING TREMENDOUS ODDS Dangerous Ice FI0eS Hem in
 Mobile Group WEATHER IS IMPROVING
West Wind, Strong for Three Days, is Dying Down, But a Thick Fog Still EnshrOuds Everything- Weather Better,

Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, June cS tPS-Airmen and vessels attempting to rescue five survivors of the air. ship Italia and the Swedish flyer, Lieut.. Lundborg. faced overwhelm- ing odds today.
 Dangerous Ice EIOes
 Dangerous ice flies added to the peril of rescue operations. The steamship Quest. used as base by Swedish airmen. encountered a movement of ice from the east across Hinlopen Strait and the Quest was compelled to leave Nahlenberg Buy and seek refuge on the north coast of North East Land.
 The moving ice also interfered with rescue work by causing a day to day shift in the position of the marooned men.
 It was decided that no landings on the ice by large planes would be attempted. A Finnish sea plane was fitted with skis and given a test at Virgo Bay in making landings on small area. The plane made Il perfect landing on snow field and stopped after a run of less than l0U yards.
 Weather Better
 Weather conditions which had delayed rescue operations were im- proving today. The west wind, which had been strong for three days. was dying down. 4 thick fog cintinued, however.
 Criticism has been voiced in Italy over the failure of General Lmberto Mobile to report the death of Ninzenzo Pomella in the crash Of the Italia until after Mobile him. self had been rescued.

Detroit Boodeg6ers Resort to Open Pistol Battle
WOMAN BYSTANDER HIT
Police Riddle Wrong Car With Bullets and Gunmen Disappear After Running Battle Through Miles of Streets.

Detroit, June cS [P-Warfare be- l tween factions fighting for control of the Detroit river liquor traffic broke out afresh here last night and today. August (Gus) Nykel and l, Michael Dipisa, rival leaders were dead and a policeman and woman bystander were in hospitals suffering wounds received during pistol battle.
 Nykiel, according to information to police called out Of one of his string Of river front saloons and cut down by a fusillade of pistol shots fired by Dipisa and an unidentified companion, rosted behind an auto mobile in front of the place. Edward \. McPherson, fl. con- stable who was serving a summons at house nearby when the shooting occurred, ran to the street and open ed fire on the pair as they attempt cd to enter their car. Dipisa was killed during the exchange and Me Emerson and Mrs. Catherine Krol- zyck. 40 a passerby wounded. Me- Emerson has little chance of re- coyery. The woman was not seri- ously wounded.
 EmpiOyes Fight
 Employes of Nykiel's saloon took up the battle and pursued the un- identified gunman in an automobile. The running battle continued over a mile Of west side streets when a police motor squad caught sight of the machines. The officers opened fire and riddled the macl,ine in u,e rear which was wrecked. Joseph Waznicki, a bar tender employed by Nykiel who was driving the pursu- ing car. escaped with minor injuries and while the situation was being explained to the police the car oc- cupied by the gunman disappeared.

Nearly 1000 Excur- ,ionists Involved in Crash With Freight Switcher -47 Injured in Hospitals.
Three Coaches Telescoped Into Tangled Debris Majority of Victims Women and Children.

Darlington. Durham, Eng. June eS R-Death cut a wide sWath to party Of nearly 1000 happy north country excursionists returning from a holiday at Scarborough when their train collided almost head on late last night with an engine shunting freight cars in the yards here.
 When the tapgled debris resulting from the terrific crash and the tele- scoping of the crowded coaches had been searched, 1t was found that 22 persons, many of them women and children, had been killed and 47 in- jured of whom aS are still in the To- cal hospital some in serious condi- tion.
 Few Men on Excursion
 Most of the victims were women and children as comparatively few men could go on the mid-week ex- cursion party.
 So badly mutilated were many of those killed that it was not possible this afternoon 10 identify all of them.
 Rescue parties worked all night under the everchanging light of flares and the railwaymen who struggled to take those injured from the wreckage said that they had never known crash that presented more difficult rescue efforts.
 In one compartment six living and six dead were found, the living and the dead tumbled together.
 Engine Tossed Across Rails By the United Press.
 The impact of the two trains was terrific, One witness said that the force of the collision was so great that one engine was tossed across the line while the other somersault- ed" Three coaches of the eAcursion train were telescoped.
 There were most pitiful scenes. The collision occurred shortly after md night at a darkened spot along the roadway. The crash of the two trains soon was followed by many screams from the passengers, injured and trapped within the shattered cars of the excursion train.
 Rescue crews quickly were mohll- ized and, had to chop their way through the tangled and broken cars to reach the victims. Some Of those injured and killed were horribly mu- ,ilated and Identification was most. difficult.
 Ambulances. doctors and nurses were quickly mobilized and sent to the scene of the disaster while hos pitals close by soon were crowded with victims.
 Worst Accident Since 1908
 With the exception of the wartime wreck at Gretna, when Go7 soldiers were killed, toda.''s accident was the worst on a British railway since 1906.
 The excursion train was packed with holiday-makers returning from rborough-mostly women and children. Tn some of the little com partmcnts of the train only half the passengers were extricated alive.
