Faulty Signals Blamed in
Tragedy That Plunges
France in Mourning
By RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

LAGNY, France, Dec. 26. -
CUP)-Faulty signals were blam-
ed Yesterday for the train wreck
at Pomponne station, on the out
skirts of Paris, which cost more
than 200 lives and injured 25O
persons homeward bound for the
holidays.
Witnesses at the official in
curry into the catastrophe which
plunged the nation into mourning
at the Yuletide, testified that
signal torpedoes exploded under
the last two cars of the PARIS
Strasburg express instead Of be-
meath the locomotive. Their testlr
mony supported the statement OF
the engineer of the death tram,
L.ucien Daubigny, that no torpedo
warning was heard in his cab.
Unofficial estimates last night
placed the dead at PIG, but II
was feared more of the badly IN
iured would add to this list.
Records showed that the crash
Saturday evening was the worst
in the history of France, and pos
sibly any other country, surpaSs-
ing the wartime catastrophe
when a troop train slid back
wards down the alps, killing 100.
An American troop train also
was wrecked in 1918, killing 81
and iniuring Is men.

cally all the defendants are Ashe-

six arg, still in Jail here and the
others are out on bail ranging

Practically all of the liquor
taken was of poor quality, it was
said. One of the largest captures
was made Saturday afternoon
when two white men and two ne
! groes in an old sedan and a truck
we're intercepted just south OF
Hendersonville. About 20 gallons
of white liquor in two kegs and a
number of glass jars had been
covered over with several small

one of the poorest "blinds" dis,
covered recently. the federal
agents pointing out that no really

LONDON. Dec. 26.-(UP).-
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Hongkong today said that
&c persons had been killed in an
air raid at Foochow. China, by
eight Marking government planes.
The bombing took place Christ
mas night, the dispatch said, when
the rebel stronghold was celebrat-
ing the holidays.
The bombing at Foochow ap-
Darently was part of a recently
developed internal political strug-
gle in China. marked by the es-
tablishment of an Independent
government in Fukien province,
of which Foochow is capital, in
defiance of Marking.
Not since the old Picking gov
eminent rested on the bayonets
of Marshal WI Pei-fu has there
been so much widespread unrest
in China. Long hidden because of
fear of Japanese Intervention, it
has now fared up with the Fukien
outbreak, in the south, which Is
communistic.
Backed by the famous 18th
Route army. which won fame
against the japanese at Shanghai
in 1882, the regime at Foochow

WASHINGTON, Dec. &c. CUP
General Ben H. Fuller.
commandant of the Marine Corps,
in his annual report released last
night recommended that the corps
be increased by 1900 men to a
total of $1,000.
The report was prepared be-
fore conferences with officials Of
the bureau of the budget. which
is reported to have approved an
increase Of 1000 men.
"The present strength is no.
sufficient to perform properly the
duties required of the service
Major Fuller said. "The Marine
Corps has done its part by prac-
ticing the most stringent econc-
mics for national recovery. The
work is being done cheerfully by
the men and my pride and thanks
are extended to them" -,
Congressional action was asked
also by the commandant for re-
lieving "the serious promotion

pointed out that about 35 per cent
of the corps majors. and captains
have held those grades for IL
years. about twice the usual ten
ure for naval officers.
Speaking of the Haitian situa-
ton, he said on June 30 about 65
per cent of the Grade D'Haiti
were native officers. the remain
der being marines.
He said approximately 26 per
cent of the marine corps is en-
gagged in sea duty. Costs of OBJ
tanning recruits, he added, have
been pared down from $685. in
1882 to $31.S2 per man because
enlistments are being obtained at
points near training centers.
The aviation branch of service,
he said, was highly efficient dur
ing the year. No fatalities from

Ickes Warns Communities
They'll Be Withdrawn if

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. (UP)
The public works administration
warned last night that, with its
funds running low. it will with
draw allotments from local gov
ernments which fail to put men to
work Immediately, ard will trans
fer the funds to other communi-
ties.
Administrator Ickes said dila-
tory tactics by local governments
would not be tolerated, now that
the demand for public works
funds outstrips the money avail
able. He announced recently that
only about $2OO,OOO,O00 of the
original $3,30O,OO0,OOO appropria-
ton remained and that applica-
tons already on file would take
far more than the sum available.
Ickes said that $50,000,000 de-
signed to go into payrOlls was
tied up in contracts under juris-
diction of local agencies on which
action had not been taken. Of
these, he said, 172 were sent out
by the PWA before Dec. and
1875 afterward. He praised the
speed shown in converting PWA
funds into payrolls on federal
projects and local developments

ton is suspended.

TWO MEN in STATE.
PEN FOR SAFE KEEPING

COLUMBIA, S. c.. Dec. 90
(UP)-Robert Wjles, 49-year-old
World war veteran, was said by
officers to have confessed today
that he beat to death 15-year-old
Herbert H. Harris, Jr.. with an
iron bar in an alleged kidnapping
plot.
Officers who questioned Wilds
most of the night said the motive
for the crime was not clear but
the theory they held was that
Wiles intended to collect ransom
money from the boys father,
vice president of the Home Groc-
cry Stores, Inc. No ransom note
had been delivered, however.
Wiles implicated John Martin
Rushton, who steadfastly main
tanned he had no part in the plot.
At orders of Governor Black
wood both Wilds and Rushton
were being held for safekeeping
at the state penitentiary. Rush
ton will be questioned later.
Wiles told that he met the
youths father on the streets and
wished him a Merry Christmas
after he had murdered his son,
and said he went about the bust
ness of soliciting gifts for the
veterans bureau as part of the
Christmas program.
Wiles confessed that he killed
the youth at deserted farm
house when the youth, becoming
aroused, showed fight. He had
been lured there on pretense of
giving him work. His body was
almost covered in pile of cotton
waste, a wisp of hair protduding.
Wiles was acquitted in Durham,
N. c., in 1925 of charge Of
killing Ralph B. Gordon. friend Of
Mrs. Wiles, who was also killed
by Wiles after his acquittal OF
killing Gordon. The charges of
killing his wife were dropped.
WileS testified that he round MS
wife and Gordon in a room to-
gether in Washington.
The youth had been missing
since Saturday when he was last
seen riding in an automobile with
a middle-aged man. He was said
to have been promised six-hour
job delivering circulars.
Parents had called in police Of
ficers to aid in the search and
