Mr.. Munger said the coolness
shown by most Of the passengers
was remarkable. A number of un-
injured men Immediately went to
work getting other survivors out of

Engineer Spreads Alarm.
E. F. Hecox, veteran engineer
aboard the crack flyer. ran and
stumbled about a mile to the near
est phone to spread the alarm. which
brought medical aid rushing to the
scene.
"As soon as had the train stopped
I jumped out and ran back" he told
Joseph r. Jackson of the Reno Eve
ming Gazette.
There was no breeze, and the dust
had gathered in great cloud. There
were no lights and I couldn't see a
single living person. I could hear
the screams and means of the dying
and injured.
Il turned and ran for Harney,
which knew was little more than
mile away. 1 must have fallen
down 20 times on the way. Then
1 called all the doctors and nurses
I could, telling them to hurry.
With the Harvey section crew I
made my way back to the wreck,
and we did what we could. 1t seemed
like an eternity before the first re-
lief train got here"
Mr.. Hecox declared they found
positive evidence that somebody
had deliberately wrecked the train"
Dining Car Rocking.
'It looked like the spikes had been
loosened on the rail leading to the
bridge, and the angle iron connect
ing the rails had been removed.
Then the rail had been moved in
about inches.
Whoever did it placed tumble
weed so I couldn't see it. but that
wouldn't have made any difference.
The train was going go miles an
hour. and even if I had seen the rail
out Of place I couldn't have stopped
it. However, had the rail been dis
connected any other place in the
canyon, this terrible tragedy would
have been averted. As>it was, the
dining car was rocking and caught
the superstructure of the bridge, ana
the wreck resulted"
All available aid was summoned
from Carlin and Elko, New. and four
special trains were rushed to the
location.
Passengers were warm in their
praise of DR.. E. A. Belts, Pennsyl-

though badly bruised himself, work
ed swiftly and efiiciently to save the
lives of several who might otherwise
have bled to death.
His first word to interviewers, how

SOUTH NYACK, N. Y, Aug. IA
Speaking through bruised lips, Phyl-
lis Raymond told today the night
mare horror of Midnight assault
by her crazed inventor father, who
tried to bludgeon her to death with
= hammer after fatally hacking her
Uother.
The father, Ralph Raymond, So,
wealthy telephone engineer, climaxed
his At of madness by slashing his
throat with a razor in q locked
bathroom of his palatial 14-room
home. He died several hours later
IN a hospital without regaining
consciousness.
His attractive 29-year-old daugh-
ter was still so critically weak from
IA hammer blows on the head and
face officials had difficulty in getting
. coherent account.
Daughters Story.
Mr.. Dorsey said the daughter told
him she was awakened early Sunday
on secondfloor sleeping porch
when her bald, bespectacled father,
clad in long nightgown, entered
and began beating her with ham,
mer.
She fed to the upstairs living room
and saw her mother there. staggering
and bleeding from throat wounds
made with 14-inch butcher knife
later found clutched in Raymond's
hands when police broke into the
bathroom.
When Mrs. Raymond. socially
prominent and a leader of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, collapsed on the hearth, her
husband was restored temporarily to
sanity. He ran from the room and
returned with bottle of whisky
and a tumbler of water.

said, handing them to the daugh-
ter.
Son Becomes Hysterical.
A moment later, however, he seized
the hammer and chased Miss Ray
mond to an attic. She fed back
downstairs, and finally wrested the
weapon from him.
As she picked up telephone and
called police, he walked into the
bathroom, Mr.. Dorsey said, and cut
his throat.

HerOism Described.
Sleeping passengers were hurled
from their berths at the crash
while those still up in the observa-
ton cars and lounges were toppled
like tenpins. All except the rear
four cars were derailed.
The horror and the heroism of the
night were graphically told by A. c.
Munger, Omaha attorney who, rid
ing in one of the rear cars, escaped
unhurt.
Many of the victims" he Re-
lated, were literally torn to pieces
with hands, feet or arms cut of and
their bodies otherwise mutilated.
Il had just gone to bed and was
lying in my berth awake. Suddenly
there was violent bump, apparently
caused by part of the train leaving
the track. This was followed by q
succession of bumps and swerving
rs the cars started piling up in the
creek bed.
"As soon as the movement and
noise stopped. uninjured persons ran
out into the dark and started break
ing glass in the car windows to get
the living out.
Bonfires Built for Light.
1T was terribly lonely spot. We
had to tear up articles in the cars to
build bonfires for light, because the
power supply was put out of COM
mission.
1T was an incredible sight to see
that big train piled up like match
wood. The steel bridge across which
the engine jolted was literally torn
to shreds as it was struck by gyrating
cars"
Like others of the survivors, Mr..
Munger paid high tribute to the
courage of Thelma Ristvedt of Chi
cago, stewardess and the only reg
istered nurse aboard, who admin
istered to the injured despite ter
rife blow on the head"
She was practically out on her
feet" Mr.. Munger said, but she kept
trying to help those worse hurt than
herself. Finally she collapsed on the
ground, unable to talk, her face

British officials struggled with
the Tientsin dispute, hoping to get
it out of the way before a graver
situation arises.
The government expressed TO the
japanese ambassador here and the
japanese foreign office at Tokyo
its desire to negotiate a direct set
tlement OF the Tientsin dispute.
This dispute was caused oSten-
sibly by British refusal to hand
to the Japanese four men suspected
of having asSaSsinated a pro-Japa-
neSe official of the Tientsin customs
regime
The feeling seemed to be here
that if Japan now refused to con-
fine negotiations to that issue, but
made broad demands, Japan must
shoulder responsibility for any re-
suit.
The result as foreseen here,
would be that JapanS bid for con-
troll of all foreign areas in China,
and for exclusion of foreign in
tereStS, would be barred and that
consequently other powers, notably
the United States, would be inter-
ested equally with Britain in up
holding their rights.
