McClurg, 15 years old, of Ardmore, a
messenger boy, and the finding of the
bodies of two negroes, neither of
which could be identified.
Early official statements had placed
the number of victims at fifty-five.
The discrepancy was explained to-
night by the fact that several persons
previously reported dead were found
either in hospitals or in their homes
alive after a close police check with
the physicians of the city and hos-
pitals.
GERMANS CLAIM BULGARS;
ALLIES LOOK TO GREECE
THE JEW A GREAT SUFFERER
Berlin Says Rivals Agree to Neutral
Zone and That the Greeks Op- .
pose the Landing of Allied
T roops.
Claim Made Notice Was Given Rail-
road of Tank Car's Dangerous
Condition With Orders to
( Move It.
Berlin, Sept. 28.—The Overseas
News agency says that according to
reliable Information, Bulgaria and
Greece have agreed upon the establish-
ment of a neutral zone between those
two countries.
The suggestion of a neutral zone,
the news agency says, was made by
the members of the Greek general
staff, who acted in concert with K:ng
Constantine. The Overseas News
agency adds:
“Bulgaria agreed and there is no
doubt that she is ready to yield to
Greek wishes about the Serbian ter-
ritories of Doiran and Gevgeti. This
means that the attempts of the o :•
tente allied powers have been frus-
trated.
“English and French officers have
been in Saloniki to prepare for the
landing of Anglo-French troops.
Greece, for the time being, is deter-
mined to maintain neutrality, even in
the face of threats to land troops.”
Ardmore, Okla., Sept. 28.—Proceed-
ings to fix the responsibility for the
disaster of yesterday, in which a
tank car exploded, causing the death
of forty-seven persons, injuries to
more than 100 others and fire loss of
probably $500,000, were started today
by the municipal authorities, who
charge the Santa Fe railroad officials
with negligence.
This was the announcement tonight
by Russell Brown, city attorney of
Ardmore.
• V
Say Regulations Violated
When the proposed proceedings are
filed it is understood they will be
made through .the Oklahoma corporar
tlon commission’s office to the federal
interstate commission. They will al-
lege that the railroad company should
have left the “bad order” car in which
the gasoline was contained at some
isolated siding, according to the inter-
state commerce commission regula-
tions; that the railroad company failed
to do so after it had been warned by
City Commissioner DeWitt that the
car was leaking; that the railroad
company failed to deliver the car to
the Ardmore Refining company, the
consignees after it'had been urged to
do so, and, further, that the railroad’s
failure to comply with these requests
after it was discovered that the tank
was leaking necessitated the action of
(he Ardmore Refining company in
sending a man to repair the leak which
resulted in the explosion and the loss
of at least forty-four lives when this
repair man opeaed the cap on the oil
task*

ed to forty-seven by the death of Otto

The durn fool got too smart;

To see the bullet start.

His folly none could throttle;

Which pitched him. to a shark.

He poked it with some dynamite,
And wa» blown to flinders.

Paris, Sept. 28.—The Bulgarian cabi-
net has agreed with Germany, the
Rome correspondent of the Petit Pa-
rlsiene says he has learned from a
former Rumanian minister, that Bul-
garia shall mobilize only four divisions
to watch Rumania. This will be done,
it is said, to avoid action which might
justify Greece in feeling she was
called upon to intervene under the
terms of her treaty of alliance with
Serbia. Meanwhile, the correspondent
asserts, Bulgaria proposed to have 25,-
600 Macedonia irregulars attack Ser-
bia, but details of this plan became
known in Nish and preparations were
made by Serbia for a possible attack:
