Twenty of the dead succumbed to injuries after being taken to. hospitals.

The train Was filled with emi grants, returning for a visit to their native land, accompanied by children and grand-children. The cars were decorated with banner reading: "See the Old Country Again." The accident occurred In what Is "known as the Rockport Sag, where the rails, although on a long straightway, dip Into a hollow and then rise. The trains gener ally speed down the grade and take the rise on the momentum. Those who reached the wreck first could see the body of Fred Loomis, the engineer, his hand still on the throttle together with bis fireman. On the ploughed roadhed be neath the locomotive lay - the twisted body of a little girl in flimsy night gowns. Mrs. Duncan Dunn, who lives about 500 yards from the crash, sounded the first alarm.

Three distinct phases of the troubles In China take form as the result of study of the Washington govern ment's mass of reports from that country and a cauvass of expert oplniun In government circles. Canton haa been recaptured from Yunnanese defenders by Canton ese soldiers representing the radical wing of the followers of the late Sun Yat-Sen. An anti-foreign agitation spring ing from troubles In Shanghai has spread up the Yangtse river, causing disorders In many cities. A conflict which western observ ers think may overshadow all other developments before the end of 1925 Impends In northern China between rival military powers, with Peking and the armed domination of most of China as the prise. There la no direct connection among the three phases. The bat tle for Canton and the Impending conflict in the north are primarily the outgrowth of domestic policies and, except Incidentally, have no anti-foreign aspects. That the three sources of concern for western na lions do Interlock, however. Is evi denced through the fact that every official report received in Wash ington for months has emphasised the influepce of Soviet Russia, first In the anti-foreign agitation; sec ond, in the fight to recapture Can ton, and third, in the preparations 1 for civil war In the north. With no possession of Canton apparently decided and Chang Feng still at peace, attention cen ters for the moment on the second phase.
