snortiy atter Deing piacea on
the operating table. One arm
was severed and a leg cut off.
The two men were instantly
killed. Their bodies were
found 100 feet east of the
Lafayette blvd. crossing.
The car was completely de
molished. The largest frag
ment which could be found
was the flywheel of the en
gine. The machine was a Hayn es
touring car.
The freight train came to a
halt after striking the machine.
It was moving at a high speed
and police believe that the car
was struck squarely in the
middle.
When the police arrived,
they found the woman breath
ing and the police ambulance
rushed her to the hospital.
The bodies of the two men
were taken to Kreighbaum's
funeral parlors.
Fragmentary details as
pieced together from viewing
the wreck led police to the be
lief that the automobile was
proceeding north on Lafayette
blvd. when strufck by the esat

With Turk?.
LAUSAXXn. Dec. 29. (By A. P.)
America, made another appeal to
day in behalf of the Near Krün refu
Kf ,lc. when the dele-prates represent
ing the United States at the Near
Past peace conference presented an
earnest plea that general amnesty
urrantrenif nta he negotiated with
Turkey and suitable provision be
made for Armenian and other refu
gees who fled from Turkey and may
wish to return to their homes. Tho
Americana asked tha: Turkey en
cage to restore to those refugees
their property.
"What action the entente will take
on the plea of Armenia for a na
tional home in Turkey will probably
be decided tomorrow morning. At
this time the dt legates of Prance
and Italy will consider the petition
which the Armenians presented to
tho conference a few days agro.
No progress was made today by
the sub-commission on minorities
before which the American appeal
was presented when general ques
tions of amnesty were under discus
sion. The jurists to Whom the amnes
ty clause of the proposc-d treaty was
submitted reported they were unable
to agree as both the Turks and the
(Jreiks had Interjected tco many
controversial political considerations.
Confrontvd by j ersstont Turkish ob
jections, the sub-commission voted
to drop the Pritlsh amendment stip
ulating the appointment of a league
of Nations representative to super
Vise Turkey's treatment or minori
ties. The conference deadlock on the
lug issues continues. Apparently
Angora must speak before the Otto
man delegates can make concessions

Stormv Debate Pre
cedes Decision.
WAS1II.VGTOX, IXv. 2 0 (Oy A.
P.) Tho fight over the proposal t
Sen. Porah that Pres't Harding call
an economic conference came to a
sensational climax in the senate to
clciy when the Idaho .senator an
nounced that he would withhold his
rropcsvi amendment to the naval ap
propria ion bill on administration
assurances given d y en. ar:on cfj
Indiana that tho president Avas al
ready sounding out, tho situation in
a way which might lead to some
movement which would .aid the ad
justment of conditions prevailing in
Europe.
Son. Porah made known hia deci
sion during the de-bate fter Sien.
Watson, one of the administration
spokesmen who wa.s instrumental in
lining up the administration force.-
in opposition to the -proposal, ap
pealed to the Plaho senator not to
pre-. his proosed ren-tlution for
substantially the some reasons out
lined in Pres't Harding's letter of
yesterday.
Sen. "Watson disclosed that ad
ministration "feelers' had been
rrudo as to European policy and re
ferred to the statement in Pres't
Harding's letter thot it wa neces
sary first to asrertain whether over
tures fyv a conference would be
"welcome."
Tvlls of Negotiations.
"And I so so far as to say," said
the Indiana senator, "that that Ikis
be-en done and that the things that
have beu undertaken may, if .suc-ce.-fully
continued, go so far as to
result in the holding of a conference
in the future."
Se-n. "Wot son then suggested ' i hat
Sen. Porah withhold hi.s amendment
on the ground that tho administra
tion's our?e would be embarrasscHl.
Sen. Porah asked whether the
administration's "negotiations" were
for tho purpose of callln
of this
confe-rence.
"No, not negotiations." Sen. Wat
..n reidiej. "Whet I said was that
' -fee lers'
had been put out; that tho
i foreign nations were t.e-ing sounded
W;th a vbw to finding out whether
th" Prited States may bo helpful. iI:;i,, tlUiro f-lav that 1 would
and that. Jn my opinion, it might rrtth,-r ,0 -iinr, tv,:1M takl,:i
lead to a conference; that I had no j 5(t ,k ti Moi -1(M,?f. .-..use.i his
authority whatever to eay tii.it. lOrifn,i, I1Pr,. vou- i)rW:xv ro
speak purely for my.-elf as an in-
prcocnting tlic opinions of nob"dy in k
authority. At tho same- tim I aiiij..
not entirely ignorant ef tiie fact that j
these feeders hov been put out ju.-t
as th3 president in. liie; letter states."
So'ks Definite Information.
Sen. Watstai adde-d that the situa
tion was r.ot one of negotiations
' but of diplomatic "convertition.s.
