One child on the ill-fated Nancy Express disappeared completely.

Two families disputed for posses- sion of the body of an eight-year- old boy, too mangled to be recogniz- ed.

Police after studying marks on the clothing gave it to one family,

ed by grief, sought vainly for their missing son.

Thirty In Hospital

Only 30 of those injured in the wreck, which occurred Saturday night when the Bti-nsborug Flyer ran into the rear of the Exprezs, re- mained in hospitals. A day of na- tional mourning will be held to- morrow when the victlms are to be buried.

A fight to place responsibility for the action will go to the Chamber of Deputies. Deputy Louis Rollin. defender of the engineer and fire- man of the Piyer held in prison on charges of homicide by imprudence, said he would demand that safely measures of the railroad company be investigated.

An investigating magistrate today heard witnesses declare that warn- ing torpedoes left on tl-ie track for the Flyer failed to explode until the last car of the train was passing. The engineer of the ress sold the warning whistle of his cab fail- ed to function when his train was fog-bound.

Condolences were receivrd by the government today from Pope Plus and from ministers of the German Government.
