Hague Conferees Try
te Dedge "13" Hoodoo
The Hague, June 19. (By A.
P.) The popular . aversion te'the
number thirteen, I is apparently
shared by the statesmen gathered
here. While they tacitly agreed
that M." VnnKnrnebeck, president
of the preliminary conference of ex
perts, might put thirteen -members
en each of (he, three sub-commissions
if he found it impossible te
sntisfy the smaller nntlens under the
original plan calling for eleven
members, 'he has been approached
privately by many delegates' who
suggested that the larger number
would be unwieldy. '
Besides, they "believed there were
enough recks ahead without tempt
ing the thirteen hoodoo sq eleven
members only will be named.

given first aid and rushed te a hospital.
P. R. T. wrecking crews were early en
the scene, and after all the passengers
had been cared for work commenced
en the two cars, preparing them te be
towed te the barn.
The motermnn of the Arch street enr,
it is said, was net Injured, although the
front of his enr wns demolished. He
ran te the back of the car when he saw
