Eye Witness Describes
Scenes of Horror After
Multiple Train Crash

KENOSHA, Wis. Feb. "a
UN.SD.-All the horror of the
Kenosha train wreck. from the
moment the passenger automo-
bile made it's fatal attempt to
cross in front of the trains to
the dying gasps of the wreck
victims. was witnessed by Ray E.
Shaw, contractor.
Through the darkness I saw
the light of the freight train
which was going north. I started
to slow up and suddenly realized
that the sedan in front was try
ing to get across.
The next moment I saw the
passenger, going south. 1t picked
up the automobile with terrible
crash and flung it across in front
of the freight.
THE passenger train, filled
with people whom coujd see
through the lighted windows.
seemed to lurch and then STUN
BILE for about $50 yards. Then
with a thud it dropped; the time
it took to sink into that ditch
seemed an eternity. Even then
could see terror in the faces of
those poor people.
There was a binding flash, I
thought they are being burned
up aliVe!' but the flash came
from the trolley. Then there
was black darkness, a moment
later came another flash, lighting
up the whole scene. It was from
the freight train that had toppled
like children's blocks.
Again darkness and this time
heard the screams of the per-
sons in the cars, especially those
trapped in that first car. Then
a third flash. which lasted but
a second. This, I believe, was
from the gasoline of that auto
mobile"

Rodolph had been canoeing on

follow after the return Of the

from Stanmore.
With all hoping the French

speculation OF all kinds as to
what will occur when the con-
ference reconveneS is afloat.
Some circles look for pro-
nounced progress and possible
concessions from the French and
Japanese if Aristide BRAND re-
turns at the head of a French
delegation empowered by a left
wing cabinet and because of the
return of the government party
in the Japanese elections.
There is some talk that NJ
BRAND would be ready to reduce
Fench naval demands II PreSi-
dent Hoover would assure France
of consultation by the United
States if France were threatened
by war in a formal proclamation
not requiring the United States
Senate'S ratification.
There are also rumors that the
British delegates contemplate
raising the question of freedom
of the seas. point which so far
has been ignored at the confer
ence. The American delegates,
it is believed, would avoid discus
sion of this question if possible.
Meanwhile, the naval experts
studying technical questions dur
ing the adjournment Of the con-
ference have made much progress.
1t is expected the experts commit
tee will be ready to report that
special auxiliary craft from 200 to
600 tons carrying small arms
should be exempt from limitation.
This would affect an important
portion of the American prohibl-
ton fleet.
