STRIVES TO PREVENT FIGHT The "steering committee" is striving to prevent a renewal on the convention floor of the bitter controversy that ragfed for months in the senate between the "mild reservationieta" and the "lr recncilables."

The two senators talked freely of; frarrying their fight to the convention ( fflwir if either could not have his way. WEARY OF LGACt'R DEBATE A number of delegates expressed! themselves as being weary of the league as a subject for debate. Kellogg and Senator Lenroot. of Wisconsin, declared however, a canvass they had made of the situation disclosed an unmistakable trend on the part frt many delegates toward ratification ; rf the treaty "wifTi reservations.", Bo-J Tah. on the other hand, was equally! Insistent that the Indiana league plank j fwith certain modifications and amen- ' foments," would find favor with the con- j Mention.

June 9 Crashing into the rear of New Tork Central passenger train No. IS three j miles outside of Schenectady, early i this morning. Train No. 34, an X"J press irin Kiuca eievan persons lira injured thirty-two others from among whom the toll of death s expected to grow at least two of them are fatally hurt. Twenty-four are seriously hurt. Martin Toyle, Albany, N. T., engineer of the express, was killed outright. Two other men. two women, a child and a baby in arms, all as yet unidentified . Seven of the injured are in Ellia hospital at Schnectady. Others were treated at the scene of the wreck. The injured are all from New Tork and Massachusetts points. Wrecking crews from Albany were on the scene quickly and began the work of clearing away the wreckage. By o'clock railroad officials declared they had accounted for all the passengers and gave up the search of the wreckage for other bodies. The express was traveling at such speed it lifted the rear sleeper of Train No. IS bodily and drove it through the sleeper just ahead . The force of the impact derailed a third sleeper in Train No. IS and split the second coach in half. The shatter! sides dropped away from the wreck as the rushing; express was brought to a halt. j The dead and most of the passengers; severely injured were in the last two i coaches. SUIT FILED "There's plenty of oil and gaa so you and the children can take long ride." said Albert Collison of Valparaiso to hJ wife. Edna, one day last summer and away drove the woman and two children for a pleasure trip into the country. When they returned they found that Collison had bundled the greater part of their household belongings into a truck and hauled them away. So states Mrs. Collison in her complaint for divorce. The suit was transfered today from the Porter Superior court to the Hammond Superior court on change of venue. Mr. Collison is said to have a violent temper and to have shown it on one occasion when he made his wife gt out and walk after she Tiad complained about him driving the automobile too fast. She says the husband has been trying for a long tim to persuade her to apply for a divorce, but that she refused until after he. had takn the furniture and then stopped her credit with the Valparaiso merchants. In order to further his purpose, she says he saw to it that she was informed of bis correspondence with other women. In order to harass her still more he is said to have given two areoplanes to their eldest son so that he might travel o-er the country and be away from his mother. Collison is said to be worth Ja.nll). but the wife says he is trying to reduce his visible assets because of the fact that she has asked for 11 50.010 alimony. Meyer and Parks are attorneys for the plaintiff, while the defendant is represented by Crumpackcr Bros. FIND WHOLE 'FLOCK OF ACTIVE STILLS rSPECIAL TO THE TIMES1 CROWN POINT. INP.. June 9 Deputy Sheriffs Zuricich and Prove took a little run up to Liverpool, southeast of Gary, Monday night and unearthed a .whole flock of stills on the little farm of Gabriel Toth. Gabe had fixed up an old stable so that his distillery department was carefully concealed ar.d it required some close inspec tion before the officers were able to find the place. When the door was finally located and they entered the small compartment they found four stills dripping merrily. There were twenty-seven gallons of moonshine on hand and six-j teen barrels of raisin raash ready for j the stilla. Toth was arraigned before Mayor Allman at Crown Point yesterday and was handed a fine of $100 and costj with a thirty day jail sentence appended.

WEDNESDAY, Hoover Agents Put Up New Hoovef Signs In Hotel Lobbies BY MARLEN' K. TEW rTA'F CORRESPONDENT I. N SEHVICE1 COUSEl'M, CHICAGO, June 9 "Hiil Hu: The gana a all here again." Serious business confronts tnetn. There's trouble in the air. The Old Guard is chasing Senator Hiram Johnson around the room with a thrca tined fork, one tine for !iOdcn. one for Sproul and one for Harding. May be there's an invisible tine on that trk. WOMEN ON THE JOB It's "Middling hot," as thy say in Kansas. Eastern men wear soft, rolling collars; Westerner weaj- starched affairs, reversing the order of pioneer days. The starched affairs are wilting.. The women are here again today beautifully dressed. It is nt true that political ladies wear mannish clothe. Broadway styles are common enough and some of these women even color their lips and checks so thick, men can notice the artifice and some ecn pencil their eye brows. But a political condition Is no place to comment on trival scandals. PENROSE IS DISCtSSED The band, way up in a skylight balcony, at the rear of the Coliseum, like harped and bugled saints in glory, is playing happy-go-lucky American rag and the folks are having a nice party. Every one is talking "Penrose." A local newspaper contains a displayed article to the effect that the s;ck boss said to a bedside reporter last night that most important of all things here was the nomination of a man "who can present a powerful appeal to the whole people." HE WANTS A MAX "Penrose wants a winner," they say. "There's magic in the word of the boss even If he -somes from a far. This causes discussion about the final result of the great American quadrennial convention which is having its opening scene here. Maybe, after all. the G. O. P. had better selet a man equipped to meet a democratic adversary. The name of McAdoo is mentioned in this regard. You hear all sorts of things. But the real meaning of the Penrose alleged bedside interview is taken by Johnson shouters as an endorsement of the scrappy California hero. WOOD TALK ABSENT "Now. do you h'r your master's voice?" is the implied line of talk from the Sunset folks. It's passing strange how little one hears of Wood or Hoover, or Coolidge here today. Some .ay "Wood's a broken man all in but his shoe-string. And then they give him to the final damnition how-wows by saying: "May be they'll fix the general up ith the vice-presidency." Hoover's press agents have put up a polite little sign in the hotel lobby saying: "Hoover the next president of the U. S." DO NT TAKE IT SERIOISLV But unless there's an u JJertow of sentiment under this sea of confusion that is coii to tosN the food conservator up on the political beach, that fign is not to be taken seriously so far as this convention is concerned. Hoover is merely receptive, still Cool idge is scarcely mentioned. fiutler of New Tork may be in some minds, but not on the lips of these delegates. Poindexter. did you say? Yes, 1 did hear of him a few weeks ago, bv that was in Washington. F. Mcllroy Loses 14 Votes On Yesterday !SEC:AL TO THE TIKES CROWN POINT, Ind.. Jan 9. Testerdays recount of the primary votes for state senator brought losses to Frank H. Mellrov of Hammond, who had gained a lead of 57 votes at the close of the Gary count. East Chicago's precincts are being counted much more rapidly than had been expected and at noon today 12 had been disposed of. Holmes had regained 18 points in the 12 precincts cutting tht Mcllroy lead to 41. With seven more precincts to count It is not believed that Holmes can wipe out his opponent's margin of 41 for although Mcllroy leads in all of the precincts the loss of any one of the remaining seven would not place Holmes ahead. The work of counting the ballots had slowed down this morning owing to the size of the precincts and is not thought that East Chicago can be finished by night. It is practically assured that the job will be completed by Thursday evening. The contest wilty be decided by the commissioners on June. 14. The monotony of the work has been relieved somewhat by the board being entertained at two fish dinners dur.ig the session last wek. when the were the guests of Attorney McAleer. This week Attorneys Hall and Bruce will be hosts to the board at Cedar lake. Take The Times and' keep la touch vith the whole world."

For one thing, it recalled vividly the warning cf Senator George H. Moses on the eve of the convention, that the Johnson and Wood delegates between them formed a majority of the convention . Tho LowJen people accepted the Johnson-Wood combine with a feelia of bi-th t: r pios tin and satisfaction : the former because of the bald fact tht between them the Johnson and Wood' forces do 'co ntrol the situation a"nd th. latter because they saw in it a tacit, recognition by th rival camps tha.

The committee on credential finished its work by sitting all night and adjourning about sun up this morning. Its report, along with the reports on rules and organizations formed the. principal work cf the convention. Some of those who lost their contest,"!
