FOUR DIE IN
TRAIN CRASH
INTO CREEK
Engineman on Doubeheadel
Killed as Freight Plunges
Through Bridge

Omaha, July 20.-(AP)-Two en-
gineers and two firemen were killet
about 2 a. m. today when a double
header Wabash freight train plunged
into q rain-swollen dry creek, neal
Mineola, Iowa, IA miles cast o1
Council Bluffs.
The torrential rains Of the night
had filled the creek, washing Out
the central spans of the wood tres
tie. Six cars of the 54-car trair
piled into the creek following the
locomotives.
The dead:
D. D. TUCKER, A, engineer.
GEORGE WILSON, 43, engineer.
JESSE DAVIS, %, fireman.
JOHN BUTTS, %, fireman.
All Of the victims lived at Stan
berry, Missouri
Rains Sap Bridge
Other members Of the crew, Clar-
ence Smith, conductor, and Ralph
Humphrey, brakeman, were riding
the rear of the train, in the caboose
and were not hurt.
Bodies of Tucker, Davis and Will.
son were removed shortly after day
break when the swollen creek waters
receded. The body of Butts could be
seen, buried under the cab of his en-
CINE. Part Of one leg was exposed
Trainmen said it could not be re.
moved until some Of the wreckage is
cleared away.
The supposition is that the heavy
rains had undermined the piling Of
the trestle washing out the middle
piers. A skeleton framework was
left, sufficient to carry the rails
and the engineers were unable to SET
that the trestle had been wrecked.

Severely Criticized

Asheville, N. c., July 2O.-(AP)-
Having pledged themselves to defeat
Governor Smith, delegates to the
conference of dry southern Demo
Gratis separated today to carry thei,
campaign against the nominee ia
their home states.
Before adjourning, the conference
adopted a statement of its aims and
principles, attacking the New York
governor for what was termed "his
reputation Of the Houston platform
on prohibition" his selection Of q
wet Republican" as chairman of the
Democratic national committee, his
wet record" and his relation te
Tammany Hall.
The statement declared "unswerv.
ing allegiance to the principles Of
true Democracy" but asserted that
we cannot support Governor Alfred
E. Smith, the nominee Of the Hous.
ton convention for the presidency 81
the United States, and we hereby
pledge ourselves as Anti-Smith
Democrats to use all proper and hon.
orable means to secure his defeat
Houston Fight Recalled
Lengthy reference was made tc
the battle for q bone dry plank al
the Democratic national convention
and to Governor Smiths telegram
pledging enforcement Of the proni-
bition laws but declaring for their
modification. In this connection, the
New York governor was accused
Of "bolting" the party platform and
his message was termed 'brazen po.
litical etfrontery, planned in ad'
vance, in order to secure wet Repub.
lican votes"
ut was, at the same time," the
statement continued, "open, incon.
siderate defiance, of the position o1
dry Democrats everywhere and es.
pecially in the south"
Governor Smith was charged with
being "aggressively, irreconcilably
wet, an advocate of the saloon, and
an opponent of all measures against
saloons when he was in the state
legislature.
Smith 'sUnthinkable'
ut is unthinkable," the statement
Of principles said, 'that the moral
religious leadership of the south can
be party to the election of such a
man as Governor Smith, thus being
guilty Of an open betrayal of the
great social, economic and moral re-
form which was won for our children
and our homes after years of unself.
ish labor"
Eve believe we represent multi
piled thousands Of lifelong Demo-
Gratis who have decided that genuine
Democracy will be better served by
the defeat Of the wet Tammany sa-
chem than by his election and who as
anti-Smith Democrats will act ac-
cordingly."
A considerable part Of the state
ment was devoted to an attack upon
the appointment of John j. Raskob
as chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional committee and upon Tammany
Hall.

Finding of Lowenstein's Body
Quiets Stories of Gigantic
Hoax
IDENTIFICATION MADE
Preliminary Work of Winding
Up Multi-millionaire's Estate
Is Started
IDENTIFICATION ABE

Calais, France, July 20.-CP-
Finding Of the body Of Captain AL.
fred Lcwenstein, Belgian financier,
today revived the mystery which
surrounds his death.
1t was believed the French gov
ernment would begin an official in
quiry to establish whether death was
accidental or suicidal and whether
any Of his fellow passengers on the
fatal plane trip share responsibility
for his death. Discovery Of the body
definitely set at rest rumors that
the mystery man Of European fl
nance had perpetrated q gigantic
hoax and was still alive.
The authorities still have to deter
mine whether he fell accidentally
from his plane in crossing the chan
mel or deliberately wrenched open
the exit door and plunged to his
death.
Identity Certain
Dr.. Boulfroy, who examined tho
body, found nothing to show the
exact cause Of death, whether he
was drowned or killed by the shock
of the fall from a height of 1000
feet. All he could do was to make
absolutely certain Of the identify by
comparison of the dental work with
work that it was known that Captain
Lowenstein had done. It was con-
sidered probable that the case would
be turned over to an examining mag
istrate shortly.
The remains rested today in q
little grey morgue beside the prison
here awaiting the widow who is en-
route from Brussels. She will make
the formal Identification after which
the body will be transferred to Brus-
sells.
Estate to Be Settled
Finding Of the body viii permit
Immediately the preliminary work Of
winding up the vast Lowenstein
estate. Had the body remained ug.-.
recovered legal experts feared that
it would be years before this work
could be completed and that his
great holdings would be tied up in
definitely. A Belgian court had al
ready refused to issue death cer-
tificate.
The body was battered and decom-
posed when found by a fishing
smack floating face downward ten
miles off Cape Girls Nez. The sea
had stripped it Of clothing except
part Of the underwear and shoes. On
a watch on the wrist was engrave:
Captain Lowenstein, 35 Rue De
La Science, Brussels"
There was deep wound in the
abdomen and three gashes on the
left breast and the left shoulder. It
was thought probable that these had
been made by the propeller blades
Of channel steamers.
Brother Takes Body
Captain Lowensteins body was
placed in a casket which had been
sent overnight from Brussels and q
funeral car will take the body home
as soon as the authorities here COM
rlete the necessary formalities.
Madame Lowenstein was persuad-
ed not to come to Calais but sent her
brother and brother-in-law to take
charge of the body.
