Virtual Agreement Reached
at White House Dinner for
Revenue Legislation to Pre
cede Norris Bill Dead.
RAIL AID IS UNCERTAIN
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. July 27. Virtual
agreement was said today to have
been reached at a dinner conference
at the White House last night for sen
ate consideration' of tax revision leg
islation before the permanent tariff
act is taken up by that body.
A number of senators were Presi
dent Harding's guests, and the legis
lative situation was said to have been
discussed extensively.
President Harding's special mess
age to congress on rail- ad and farm
financing was regarded today by many
Republican leaders in the senate as
having dealt a final death blow to the
Norris bill to create a $100,000,000
farm export corporation.
The president in his message sug
gested that the powers of the war fi
nance corporation be extended to
cover all phases of farm credits and
the bill containing such a provision,
introduced yesterday by Senator Kell
ogg, Republican, Minnesota, was said
to have the approval of the adminis
tration. ,
Hoover-Meyer Draft.
It was drafted by Secretary Hoover
and Director Meyer of the Finance
corporation and will in the opinion of
many Republican senators as ex
pressed today be substituted for the
Norris bill, which Secretary Hoover
condemned and Secretary Wallace
failed to endorse before the senate
agriculture committee.
Champions of the Norris bill said
todav that hev would relent not one
whit in the fight in behalf of. their'
measure. They had ready to be voted
on today a series of amendments de
signed to eliminate provisions severe
ly criticised during debate. The Kell
ogg measure also will be voted on as
an amendment to the Norris bill.
Rail Aid Uncertain.
Just when congress would be able
to take up the second request em
bodied in the president's message
the extension of the war finance cor
poration's powers to permit it to fund
about five hundred million dollars of
railroad indebtedness to the govern
ment still was uncertain today.
Leaders said there probably would be
action within a fortnight. .

CRASH KILLS FIVE
(By Associated Press)
CLEVELAND, July 27. Five per
sons who were killed, four of them al
most instantly, when a shuttle car on
the Abbey avenue viaduct and an auto
mobile crashed head-on shortly after
midnight, were identified this morn
ing.
One family was wiped out when
John M. Francyk, 40, a garage owner;
his wife, 27, and their two children,
Edna Mary, aged 10 years and Theo
dore, aged 9 months, were killed. The
fifth person killed was Mrs. Anna
Branloff, 39. Max Branloff, 40, her
husband, was seriously injured.
Each of the dead sustained a frac
tured skull.
The cause of the accident, accord
ing to police, was the operation of a
shuttle car eastbound on a westbound
track, .the eastbound track being
under repair. The motorists were
westbound and when they saw the
street car on the westbound track
they apparently thought it was travel
ling in the same direction as their
automobile.
The automobile in which the two
families were .riding had been left in
Francyk's garage for repairs, police
taid.

DUBLIN, July 27. Eamonn De Va
lera, the Irish Republican leader, and
his colleagues have not yet found a
basis for the proposed conference with
the British government on the Irish
question in London, but are continu
ing to search for a common ground
on which the contending parties may
meet, it was stated in a well informed
quarter today.
LONDON, July 27. The possibility
that four legislatures may be estab
lished in Ireland one each in the
provinces of Ulster, Munster, Con
naught, and Leinster under a cen
tral national parliament ' is hinted at
this morning by the Sketch, which
says :
"It need not be assumed, as is done
in some quarters, that under unifica
tion there would be only two govern
ing authorities under a federal Irish
parliament. It has been almost over
looked that there are four great prov
inces .in . Ireland, each with an histor
ical individuality."
In relation to Sketch's Information
which incidentally reiterates some
earlier reports the statement is made,
somewhat disconnectedly, that sub
ject to a satisfactory solution of the
Irish unification problem Eamonn De
Valera has intimated that he will not
renew the campaign for an independ
ent Irish republic and also that he
will not seek to raise an army or
navy or the right to enter into rela
tions with foreign powers, except to
the same extent as these privileges
are enjoyed by the self-governing do
minions of the British empire.
Diminish Doubts
The Daily Mail, however, mentions
"reports of a closer understanding be
tween the north and the south,"
which it says diminished the doubts
respecting the ability of the rival
Irish leaders to meet and contrive a
ground for common action. This
newspaper adds:
"It is understood that some Sinn
Fein leaders agree to the govern
ment's terms and it Is anticipated
that an agreement for general accept
ances will be reached. In any case
Mr. De Valera is expected to return
to England shortly and in the mean
time he continues in harmonious
touch with all concerned in Ireland."

FROM 1 T0 14 YEARS
FOR THEFT OF AUTO
Clarence Jefferis, 25 years old, living
north of Richmond on the Middleboro
pike, was sentenced to serve a term of
from one to 14 years In the state re
formatory by John L Rupe, special
judge, in Wayne circuit court Wednes
day afternoon.
Jefferis pleaded guilty 4o a charge
of grand larceny, the stealing of an
automobile belonging to Guy Ander
son. A fine of $10 and disfranchise
ment for two years was also included
in the sentence.
Jefferis was taken in custody by
Sheriff Carl Wadman and Chief-of-De-tectives
Ed McNally about two weeks
ago after an investigation that had
been carried on for several weeks.
Jefferis confessed to having stolen
four automobiles. All but. one of these
has been recovered and returned to
the owners.
The charge of petit larceny which
was also filed against Jefferis for an
alleged theft of chickens was nollied
by Prosecutor Beckett.
Friends of Jefferis crowded the
court room expecting to hear evidence
in the case. His plea of guilty made
this unnecessary. Many of them ex
pressed great surprise that Jefferis
was guilty as charged. They stated
that he was highly respected in his
neighborhood and had never been in
any kind of trouble previous to this
time.
Sentenced For Theft
Frank Wilson, 25 years old, who
gave his home as Atlanta, Ga., con
fessed to having stolen a bicycle and

"Restoration of our foreign trade

Wednesday.
"With an export trade, our domestic
business would pick up, there would

prosperity again."
Mr. Bowman gave as an example of
the effect of loss of export trade the
present condition of a manufacturing
company of Indianapolis.
"This company had a good trade in
South America," he said, "and had de
veloped a broad market there for its

DEMANDS AGENDA
BANFF. Alberta. July 27. A tale of
heroism and tragedy was unfolded
here last night when word from
searching parties told of the finding
of the body of Dr. W. E. Stone, presi
dent of Purdue university, Lafayette,
Ind., beneath the ice and snow of a
deep crevice in Mt. Eanon, sou,th of
Banff. Guides from the Assiniboine
camp .found the body Sunday, but
word of their discovery did not reach
here until late last night.
Dr. Stone's wife, who with Dr.
Stone, had been missing since July
17 from their camp at the base of Mt.
Assiniboine, south of Banff, is alive.
She was found severely injured at
the bottom of a 17-foot crevice by
the same searching party, and was
sent to an emergency hospital at
Camp Assiniboine. A number of doc
tors and nurses were sent from here
to attend her.
Word reaching Banff last "night
from the searching party, telling of
the finding of Mrs. Stone and her hus
band's body, brought to an end a
week's search of mountains surround
ing Banff, in which several hundred
men took part. The entire summer
colony had been assisting in combing
the countryside In an effort to find
the couple. , . .
Message From Guides
The brief message from the guides
told the story of the tragedy. Losing
her footing on the precipitate slope of
Mt. Eanon, Mrs. Stone was said to
have fallen into the crevice, unknown
to her husband. Summoned by her
screams for assistance. Dr. Stone,
Mrs. Stone said, attempted to pull her
to tne suriace ry means of a rope.
Falling in the effort, he lowered him
self to her side and then attempted
to climb back with her in his arms.
It was in this attempt that Dr. Stone
lost his footing and his grasp on the
rope and fell into a deeper crevice.
So great was the fall that it is thought
death came instantly.
Mrs. Stone was hurled back into the
first crevice, where she lay until the
searching party found her.
Mrs. Stone was unable to give de
tails of the tragedy. The heroism of
her husband was the only topic she
would discuss. Despite the severity
of her injuries, the shock resultant
from her husabnd's death and the ex
posure, physicians say her chances
for recovery are good.
Wedged in Crevice.
The body of Dr. Stone was jammed
between the sides of the narrow icy
crevice and its removal was extreme
ly difficult, the efforts of a number of
men and a day's labor being required
in bringing it to the surface.
LAFAYETTE, Ind.. July 27. A mes
sage was received from Banff, Alberta,
today, by Miss Helen Hand, secretary
to Dr. W. E. Stone, late president of
Purdue university, from R. S. Stonach,
of the Alpine club.
It reads as follows:
"Following message received from
Dr. F. C. Bell: 'Regret to inform you
Dr. Stone killed by fall on mountain
the 16th. Mrs. Stone is in fairly good
shape in spite of her terrible experi
ence and will remain here pending re
moval of body.' "
Bring Body Back.
The message also indicated that the
body of Dr. Stone probably would be
brought to Lafayette, as Mrs. Stone
gave instructions to . have the house
keeper get the Stone residence in
condition.
