Battered Coach Raised Hr PrrM. Chippewa Falls, Wis., Dec. 21.— The identification today of the body of Miss May Morrisey of Stevens Point, Wis., set the casualties resulting from the plunge of a Soo kiine observation car into the Chip pewa river yesterday definitely at eight dead and seven Injured. All passengers of the ill-fated coach have apparently been accounted for. Miss Morrisey was a school teacher at Aberdeen, S. D.( and was on her way home to spend the Christmas holidays. Besides Miss Morrisey the dead are: Barbara Spencer, baby. Mrs. Harry Jones. Sioux City, la. Charles M. Pardoe, Minneapolis, Miss Florence Higus, daughter of Pardoe, also of Minneapolis. Kenneth J.

Spencer, dean of the school of journalism of the University of Washington, and Harry Jones, Sioux City. Spencer, whose wife’s fingers were frozen and whose baby died in the frigid waters of the Chippewa, was Injured Internally and his hands were frozen. Physicians said, however, that he would probably recover If pneumonia did not develop. Jones was suffering from exposure and bruises, but he too probably will recover unless pneu monia sets in. No Other Bodies Found. Work of removing the death car from the river was completed latp today. Twisted and battered from Its 50-foot plunge from the bridge, after splitting a switch, the car was dragged from the water by two huge cranes despatched here from Minne apolis and Stevens Point yesterday.

An official Inquiry into the probable causes of the crash was started to day with Harold E. Stafford, d;strict attorney, and officials of the Soo line pursuing separate investigations. Mr. Stafford said totiight he was not ready to make any announcement. The railroad officials declared their work also was Incomplete.

Washington, Dec. 21.—Railroad freight traffic in October was the largest for any single month ever re ported, it was announced today by the American Railway association, and the expeditious manner in which it was handled saved the shippers of the country mlllons of dollars through prompt delivery of commodities to market. The new record, the statement said, was made possible by prompt loading and unloading of freight cars, by speeding up car movements, and by increasing the load carried per train. The daily average movement per freight car in October was 30.7 miles, the greatest for any month in his tory save October last year, when the record was equaled. In analyzing the various branches of the service which contributed to the record for the month, the asso ciation brought Out that there was a daily average surplus of 100,000 freight cars as compared with 27,000 for October, 1923, and about 200,000 freight cara were in need of repair during the period, an Increase of 45,000 over the same month last year. When these points are considered, the statement said, “the average movement of freight cars'in October this year was even somewhat higher than the figure 30.7 would seem to In dicate.” MOTORIST HITS MAN; DRIVES OFF Dlncoln, Dec. 21.—James Drown, 58, sustained a fractured leg, a broken nose and other Injuries late last night when he was knoceked down by an automobile and left lying In the street by the driver, whom It Is alleged turned out his lights and sped away without offering assistance to the in jured man.

Committed Places 0. K. on Russia British Labor Group, After Tour, Reports Millions Could Be Invested Safe ly in Soviet Industries. Opponents Jeer Report By ROBERT J. I'RKVV. Vnli'crsul Service staff f orre.pomlent. London, Dec. 21.—"Millions of new capital could he invested properly and safely in the development of the en ormous economic possibilities In lius sia, and would fully justify the claim made on behalf of British labor that Russia, under soviet rule, so far, has improved the material and moral con dltions of It* people as to have now earned a permanent place among Eu ropean nations.” This Is the gist of a remarkable statement issued by the trades union mission which has just returned from a six-weeks’ tour of Russia. The party consisted of seven prominent labor of ficials and their statement caused considerable annoyance to the politi clans who are uncompromisingly op posed to the soviets. Sir William Joynaon-Hicks, home secretary, sarcastically asks why the mission did not remain in Russia, since the country Is becoming such a paradise. Importance is attached to the report which It will strongly In fluence the policy of the labor party in the house of commons. The state ment says: Budget Almost Balanced. "Conditions have enormously im proved in Russia since the visit of the British delegation in 1920. The finan cial stability of Russia is more se cure than was expected. The Rus sians have almost balanced their budget and have restored their pro duction, relative to the prewar stand ard, at a rate which compares favor ably with the minora] European av erage. “Industrial undertakings are being developed rapidly, especially electrical power equipment. The high degree ol organizing am] administrative capac Ity and the enthusiasm of the work er* under the new eystem of state ownership, deeply impressed the del egates. . "Housing condition* for workers are being rapidly improved and great efforts are being made to eliminate Illiteracy.

Portlcello, A. Rramley, Hen Tillett, A A. Findlay, Herbert Smith and J. Turner. Rational opinion here that the committee is biased over the soviets because labor* plan to establish nn shackled relations with Russia and therefor* suppressed any criticisms they might liuve felt they could have made of conditions they found. (>n the other hand, their report is directly contrary to alleged facts as printed daily by the great majority of London newspapers regarding -the all-pervading misery and want, the vice, economic prostration, and the Impending downfall of the eoviet regime.

New Vurk, Dec. 21.—The United States liner Leviathan arrived this afternoon with 11.000 bags of Christ mas mail and 929 passengers. Bishop Charles F. Brent of Buf falo, who attended the narcotic conference at Geneva, was among the passengers.

He said that as a result of the conferences the present annual production of opium and other nar cotics would be curtailed one-tenth. "It should be stated,” Bishop Brent pointed out, "that America. strongly opposed the Idea of the conference, foreseeing what might and probably would happen."

New Rail Mark in 1925 Is Forecast Dawes Plan and Increase in Farm Products Prices to Swell Carloading?. New York, Dec. 21.—A new high water mark of railway traffic is fore cast fcr 1920 by the committee on public relations of the eastern rail roads in its annual review of railroad operations made public, todaj’. Adoption of the Dawes plan, pro viding a market for greater exports of raw material and restoration of the purchase power of the farmer through the Increase in prices of farm prod ucts, are the chief factors which the railroad executives believe will swell carloadings above the record of 50.000. 000 cars, achieved In 1923. In the year lust closing It is estimated that carloadings will fall about 1.000. 000 short of last jear's peak. Kight new traffic records were established by the railroads during the last year. These Included the total number of cars loaded In a sin gle week: the number loaded with grain and grain products In a single week, as well as with merchandise, less than-carload freight and miscel laneous freight; the number of freight cars moved In a single daj’i the number <*f ton miles of transporta tion produced |n one month; heavier shipments of all commodities except coal, coko and ore, and the main tenance of a car surplus In the face of peak loadings. Net operating Income for the rail roads Is estimated at 1975,000,000, compared with f977.000.000 last year. Net' earnings, the review explains, were made nut of s ronslderablj lowgr gross revenue, Indicating a cur tailment of expenses, while railroad earning power wao more evenly dls trlhuted over tha countrj-.

Jugo-Slavia Is Blamed lljr Aft*oeiat*<l Geneva, Dec. 21c—Actively support ing Albania's appeal to the league of nations against Jugoslavia is Dr. B. Bllnlshtf, Albania’s permanent repre sentative in Geneva, who spent a strenuous Sunday circulating infor mation in an endeavor to Justify the appeal of Bishop Fan S. Noli, Al bania’s bishop-premier, for interven tion. Dr. Blinishti issued a series of com muniques fresh from Bishop Noli at Tirana, insisting that the people of Albania, far from revolting against the existing regime, have become more and more united in "combat ing the foreign Invader.” Jugo-Slavia is proclaimed as the invader. Further, the communiques allege the seizure of guns near the frontier bearing marks which prove that they were furnished by the Jugo-Slavian arrny. Prisoners captured by Bishop Noli’s legions are claimed in the commu niques to have admitted that they participated in Incursion into Albania by orders of the commander at Prlz rend. One of the statements says that "soldiers of P.ulgarian origin who had taken refuge in Jugoslavia are also among the invaders and are in charge of the heavy and light artil lery." It declares that, "the entire transport of munitions and general war material fs being done by Jugo slavian automobiles." Delicacy Required. Another communique Issued by Dr. Blinishti characterizes as an inven tion out of the whole cloth the re port that the insurgent chiefs at El Bassan condemned to death Premie I Noli and all the members of his in dustry. Meanwhile the council of tl'e league of nations, which lias just completed a Session in itome. finds .it self confronted with a Balkan con fllct which it Is recognized will re quire delicate handling and which, the arbitration counsel failing, prob ably will necessitate a special meet ing of the council. Prem or Noll himself, who likes to make t he Journey to Geneva and whose picturesque and ironical ad dress at the last assembly of the council made him the most outstand ing figure which had visited i,eneva in some time, still is actively seeking a loan for his country. As he saun tered through the street* of the city hr was easily recognized by his bus! » black beard and was pointed out by many as one of the most curious po litical figures in Europe.
