An Intercity bus almost had cleared the last rail of a grade crossing at the moment a last Illi nois terminal electric train sent It whirling top-like, smashed its front on the rebound and rammed its shattered chassis between two rows of telephone poles. All the dead and 14 of the In jured were on the bus. Two train passengers were Injured slightly, although the three-car Interurban remained on the tracks and con tinued its run after a slight delay. Fragmentary descriptions brought forth the scene's horror, with bodies and wreckage strewn for 100 feet "I've been through three of these things," said Tollof Stromlund, who lives near the wreck site, "and this is the worst I ever saw." Stromlund and his wife were first to reach the bus and they helped extricate nearly a score of trapped passengers while neigh bors called ambulances.

CO'. FOR .1X1 ifmi m Noted Illinois Republican Dies TUCSON, Ariz., March 20 OP) Death came today to Frank O. Lowden, son of a blacksmith farm er, who rose to the governorship of Illinois during the first World War and twice was a candidate for the republican presidential nom ination. He was 82 years old. Already feeble and in ill health, he was stricken with pneumonia two weeks ago and grew progressively worse until his death. Active in politics since the "full dinner pail" campaign of President McKinley in 1896, Lowden sought the republican presidential nom ination in 1920, but withdrew on the eighth ballot when the conven tion became deadlocked, and War ren G. Harding was nominated on the tenth. A serious contender In 1924 when he was strongly backed by the mid-west farm bloc, Lowden saw the nomination go to Calvin Coolidge. He refused to accept the nomination as vice president. His farm plank figured again In the convention of 1928 when his name appeared on the Indiana bal lots. This time the choice was Her bert Hoover. In his political career of a quarter-century, Lowden held only two elective offices congressman in 1906-11 and governor of Illinois in 1917-21.
