LABOR DELEGATES IZE CONTROL OF CHICAGO PARLEY Minority Delegates Seated in Third Party Conference — Debates Are Stormy, Rff United Press July 4.—Labor and minority delegates today seized control of the conferences to organize a tijjfd political party. The coup was effected when leaders ol the single taxers, national women’s party, non-affiliated labor unions, proletarians, the non-Partlsan League, the workers' party and others forced "the farmer-labor convention to seat them as accredited delegates of the farmer-labor party. Parmer delegates, previously in control, fought the seating of these delegates in the farmer-labor convention proper, holding they had been invited only as delegates to the coalition conference. The labor vote seated the ‘‘outside’* delegates. The farmer-labor convention was recessed while the conference to merge all minority parties was held. Slpened amid stormy debate, some fates declaring a merger had ady been actually effected by virtue of the labor vote.

1 MOTORISTS WILL MEET DEATH WITHIN3MONTHS Interstate Commerce Body Makes Prediction on Week of June 2, NTW YORK, July 4.—Seven hundred autoists will die during July, August and September as the result of railroad accidents, if the record for the week ended June i is maintained, according to the Bureau of Safety of the Interstate Commerce Commission. As the figures Bhow that there are two accidents for each death, these figures, it is poinetd out, mean that there will probably be 1,400 grade crossing accidents throughout the LUmted States during the coming three fifteen accidents a day, although it Is said that there will be more accidents on Saturdays and Sundays, because travel Is heavier on *hose days. On those days, also, the less experienced drivers are on the road and they are more likely to disregard railroad crossing signals. With the Increase In automobiles and trucks In the last five years there has come an increase In the number of accidents despite the efforts that have been made by the railroad and safety first associations, the records show. Since 1917, for example, the number of automobiles figuring in railroad accidents has increased nearly 60 per cent. In that year there were 2,076 such accidents resulting In the death of 1,083 persons and in the Injury of approximately 3,000. In 1921, the last year for which there| are complete records, accidents resulted in the death of 1,259 persons and the Injury of 3,976. Complete statistics for the year 1922 have not as yet been published. The figures for the first three quarters of the year, however, Indicate that there is a substantial seasonal Increase in the number of these accidents and the casualties resulting therefrom. The figures for the first three quarters of 1922 are as follows: No. of Quarter. Accidents. Deaths. Injuries. 1 007 210 787* 2 707 310 980 3 907 452 1,238 It will be noted that in the third .quarter, which includes July, August a there was an increase fmP quarter in the number of accidents, and more than 100 per cent increase in the number of fatalities. If the number of deaths for the third quarter of this year reaches the estimate made by the Bureau of Safety based on the accidents for the week ended June 2, an increase of almost 60 per cent, when compared to the figures for the same period of last year, will be shown.

BABYLON’S RUINS EQUAL WONDERS BURIED WITH TUT 4 temples 4,C90 Years Old Hide Relics of Past Arts, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 4. Archaeological discoveries of the earliest Babylonlon period, rivaling in importance those recently made at the tomb of King Tutankhamen, are described in a report of the work of the H. Weld Blundell expedition to Mesopotamia, which Is supported by the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago. The report, which was received here from London, Is by S. Langdon, professor of A'ssyrlology, Oxford University. “In a previous communication,” says the report, “the discovery of stamped bricks qf Samsuiluna, seventh king of the first Babylonian dynasty (208012043 B. C.), was mentioned, and Mr. Mackay, the field director, established the identity of Kish in the lofty ruins of Ohelmer early In March of this year. —Find War God's Temple "He then located the temple of the war god, Ilbaba, on the northeast side of the Stage tower, and found brick stamps of this king with the following inscription in Sumerian: “ 'Samsuiluna, king of Sumer and Accad, built and raised on high the temple Mqteursag, temple of the god

The pavement of the Aramaean usuirper, Adad-Apal-Idinnam, was located in’ April, and several stamped bricks which commemorate his reconstruction of this temple were Recovered. Numerous walls and pavements of the last reconstruction of the temple ana stage tower by Nebuchadnezzar in the sixth century B. C. have been recovered. Stage Towers Preserved "These preliminary discoveries proved that the excavators must be approaching the more ancient strata which belong to the earliest history of Babylonia, and In May, Just before the intense heat compelled the cessation of our work, Mr. Mackay found walls of plano-convex bricks, a sure indication of the oldest Sumerian period. "The most interesting and revolutionary , discoveries were made when Mr. Mackay uncovered the southeast and northeast sides of the stage tower. Not only are the fronts of the stages built with deep and well-made recesses, — but the first stage has rows of chambers conected by a corridor,
