Bu United Press TORONTO, Ont., March 21. Canada’s worst train wreck in nearly twenty years was under Investigation today as officials sought the cause of a head-on collision which took the lives of at least nineteen persons, many of them colonists setting out with high hopes for anew career in the west. Six cars and an engine were hurled from the track as two crack passenger trains, running between Toronto and Winnipeg, crashed together in the darkness early Wednesday. The first stages of the investigation indicated that one of the engineers had run past an ordered stop at Dorcourt, near Parry Sound in the Georgian bay country. Burned to Death Most of the dead were immigrants, traveling in a colonist car immediately behind the engine of the westbound train. A dozen or more were killed outright or pinned in the wreckage and burned to death. The car was of steel but lined with wood because of climatic conditions. A coal stove, about which the colonists warmed themselves or prepared their meals as they journeyed toward the land they expected to settle, overturned and started the fire. One of the passengers frbm the eastbound train said, that he believed only six of the occupants of the colonist car escaped with their lives. Horror Scenes Described Identification of the dead will be difficult because the colonists were recruited from all parts of the world. Heart-rending stories of the disaster were told by those who escaped. “One woman kept screaming until she was burned to death,” said J. E. Harcourt. "I saw several skulls and human bones burning.” Several children were believed among the dead. The injured were being cared for at Parry Sound.

GRAIN FUTURES HELD STEADY IN PIT OPENING Provisions Slightly Higher; Weather Conditions Better. Bu United Press CHICAGO, March 21.—Wheat futures held unevenly steady here today due to a lack of news capable of stimulating action on either side of the market. Corn and oats ruled slightly weak. At opening wheat was % cent lower to U cent higher, corn was off Vs cent and oats were unchanged at Vi, cent lower. Provisions were slightly higher. Open interest in wheat continues to increase and is tending to check short selling of the grain. Belief is general that eastern long interests have not disturbed their holdings and this is encouraging those who are looking for higher prices, probably as result of farm legislation in April. Weather favorable for growing was reported over winter belt early. Corn has not been favored with as active bull sentiment as wheat and there have been numerous sales of corn, against purchases of the latter on belief spread between two grains will increase. The free selling experienced early in week is expected to bring a healthier tone to trading. Oats are without interest and continue to trail other grains, particularly corn.
