P’DONNELL, HURT IN RACE FATAL TO L CHEVROLET, DIES B (Continued From Page One.) driven since that time. She was the only member of the family who accompanied him to Los Angeles. Chevrolet came into greatest prominence as a race driver last May. when he won the 500-mile international sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This accomplishment pnt him In the list of the world's greatest drivers. Chevrolet was the youngest of three brothers, ail devoted followers of the racing game. His brother Louis is president of the Frontenac Motor Company, and his other brother. Arthur, operates a garage at 719 North Illinois -street. Both live in Indianapolis. All three brothers were entered In the last 500-mlle race; but In a practice spin Arthur narrowly escaped death in an accident very similar to the one which proved fatal to Gaston. Louis Chevrolet had an accident in the race, but escaped injury. In winning the last Indianapolis race Chevrolet made the 500 miles in 5:38.32, for an average of 88.55 miles an hour. As a result he won the first prize of $20,000 and $1,300 in lap money, besides numerous other prizes. He held the world's record for time from 100 miles up to 250 miles, made on the Sheeps head Bay track in 1919.
Pride in Husband Tempered by Fear 1 “I am so proud of my husband.” was the statement of Mrs. Gaston Chevrolet not quite six months ago, to a Times representative. Brimming over with Joy that “her man” had won the cup of international automobile speed Importance at the Indianapolis motor speedway she could talk nothing but Gaston. But even in the midst of what she termed “the happiest time of her life,” when a victory had come to her husband which she bad not expected, there was •n ever present lurking fear that misfortune might overtake him. "Some way,” she averred, “I was not anxious about Gaston, although I usually am.” Bnt, a far-away look of sadness clouded her eyes for a moment, which she threw off quickly, returning to the discussion of Chevrolet's extraordinary driving. “I have always felt,” she said at another time, “after each race that I wish It were h!s last one. Although I have every confidence In Gaston’s driving ns experienced and careful, yet I always fee anxious. But you know I am only a woman,” she added, with an excusing smile. Then again there was -the same oM misgiving that comes second nature to every woman when she exhibited a collection of Chevrolet’s pictures taken at different races. “I cherish these,” she said, "‘‘because

4 OR MORE DEAD INRAILCRASH Canadian Train Derailed Near Toronto. TORONTO. Ont.. Nov. 26 At least four persons, possibly seven, are dead and a score Injured as a result of one of the worst train wrecks this section ha witnessed in years. Grand Trunk Night Express No. 16, bound from Montreal for this city, was derailed near York, a few miles from Toronto. While the wreck occurred last night, the rescue work did not get under way until today and the salvagers still are confronted with great difficulties, for the crash reduced part of the train to splinters. Beneath the mass of debris bodies are buried, but no one knows as yet exactly how many. Two have been extricated and two others are sighted. The rescue workers directed their efforts flrst on saving the injured, many of j whom were pinned under steel and shrieked pitiably for help. The bodle.- removed ' rom the wreckage so far are those of Nathaniel Brown, a Pullman porter, and an unidentified man of about 30. I A corps of doctors and nurses from Toronto and nearby places were rushed to th e scene and aro still working feverishly. One body, known to be still pinned under the wreckr.ge, is that of a woman. Seven cars were completely hurled off the track. Three were day coaches, three Pullman sleeping cars and one a baggage car. The scene of the wreck being considerably out of the way, much of the rescue work had to be done under primitive conditions. Lanterns gave the workers the only light until day broke. The versions of the cause of the wreck are many. The most reliable appears to i be that a freight engine on an adjoining j track side swiped the passenger coaches when the express train passed at u terrific speed. Then, it is said, before danger signals could be set, a westbound freight train plowed into the coaches that ; had toppled over on to the freight track. ;

Says Stabilization of Prices Already Under Way in U . S. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Stabilization of prices is beginning, according to a bulletin the Federal Reserve Board issued today. "The problem of complete financial readjustment,” said the board, “now centers around the placing of goods and accumulated stocks hpdn a bonking basis corresponding to the-level of prices which has been established. It may be expected that as old are disposed of and new goods at the revised price levels take their places, a more natural situation will gradually develop.” Calling attention to the decline in prices of building materials, the board stated this ‘‘should tend to stimulate the resumption, of business operations on a large scale.” The board gave figures showing production and consumption of several basic commodities is on the increase. The list Includes crude petroleum, coal, pig Iron and cotton. Dlscuising the employment situation, the board called attention to the fact that index of the ’Bureau of Labor shows a “sti fUng of men In Industries which Indicates a redistribution of demand and leaves the net situation somewhat in doubt.” Lib Ward Is Pinched Lizzie Buck, better known as Lib Ward, 520 East Wabash street, wus arrested today on a charge of keeping a house of ill fame. Frank Faskill, 60, Franklin, and Georgio Murry, 45, were arrested on statutory charges.

EXPLAINS DELAY ON SOME DELIVERY Postmaster Says Special and Registered Mail Confused. A few complaints received recently at the. postofllce by users of mail service to the effect that Important special delivery letters, gome of which contained money, have not been delivered has caused Postmaster Robert E. Springsteen today to Issue a statement of explanation. “...oncy and articles of Intrinsic' value are being sent through the mail* with special delivery stamp attached by persons wh-o believe such a stamp Insure* safe delivery of the letter or parcel,” said Postmaster Springsteen. “The special delivery service is evldentlv confused with the registered and Insured mail. i-<r r.raents or money sent by firstclass mail should be registered to insure safe arrival at its destination, and parcels or mall sent by other -than firstclass ought to be insured. "Registered mall Is sometimes slower than ordinary mall because of the necessity of affixing the s'guature of every person through whose hands the piece passes. Because of the more careful handling involved tho letter is always safely delivered. ■ th*:- other hand, when a Special delivery stamp is attached to the letter evory possible means is used to hurry It along, which once in a while results In its loss. "To users of these departments this explanation should be borne In mind: Special delivery for speed; registry or insurance for safety.”
