f 42 MEET DEATH IN RAIL WRECK | mint + tamomur 1 mm amn maamo t tan PAGE FOUR MONDAY, FEB. 28, 1921 (Continued from Page 1) _— set against the Michigan Contral train while the track was left olear for the New York Central train. Rail road officials at the scene of the wreck said Engineer Wy F. Long of Jackson, Mich., who e&taped unhurt, declared he had‘ received a clear aig- nal and had checked it with his fire- man. He left early today for his home. The New York Central train had plowed through the middle of the other train. All except the two baggage and mail cars of the New York Central train, remained upright, although bits of the wooden coaches of the Mich- igan Central train were scattered for 50 yards. Passengers in the four coaches of the Michigan Central train behind the two death cars were un- hurt except for the shake up and ail the passengers on the New York Cen- tral aped FATALITIES PECULIAR, MANY STRUCK ON HEAD. For no reason that railroad ofti- cials could assign, almost all of the d taken to the little morgife at across the tracks from| their fatal wounds in Some were decapitated, ac- counting for the failure to identify 9 of the 25 which had been taken there up to 6 o'clock. The first group of those critically injured were rushed in an ambulance} to Michigan City, Ind., and two of them died on the w: Railroad of: ficials expressed the belief early to- day that all of the others injured would recover. Hospitals and private homes at Michigan City and Gary re- ceived the injured, according to the character of the injuries. Records of the Michigan Central train disclosed a large number of rail- road employes, travelling on passes, believed to have been on the wreck- ed train, buc they could not be found. Efforts of volunteer doctors and nurses from Michigan City and Gary to rush the injured to hospitals led to confusion in the check of railroad officials upon the list of casualties. SPEED OF TRAIN SAVES. MANY LIVES. ‘wne speed ot the New York Cen- tral express, while fatal to the vic- tims in the death cars was believed to have saved other passengers from serious or fatal injuries, At least six bodies were visible be- neath the heavy New York Central cars, members of the wrecking crew @eclared. Railroad officials had no definite estimate, early today of the number of seriously injured persons as they were rushed to Michigan City and Gary by different groups of yolun- teers in automobiles and ambulances. It was believed that they numbered not more than a score. WRECKAGE FIRED BY ENGINE SPARKS. The engine of the New York Cen- tral train burst through the wooden éoaches with such force that it whirl- ed half around and started a blaze in the wreckage. Porter citizens drag- ged out a hose and quickly extin- guished the fire. Within a short time lights in the upright coaches of both trains were turned on again from an emergency connection and any semblance of panic among the uninjured was al- layed, while the unhurt ministered to those hurled from their seats but still living. . Bodies of Engineer Claude Johnson of Elkhart, Ind., and Fireman George DeLand of Elkhart, engine crew on the New York Central train, were re- covered from beneath their smashed pile of debris, gathered in a basket and taken to the Chesterton morgue. Railroad officials andi Coroner Sei- pel of ‘Vaiparsiso, Ind., at that time had almost given up hope of identify- ing half a dozen of the bodies. After stating that Hhgineer Long of the Michigan Central train had left for his home in Jackson, Mich., mem- bers of the wrecking crew and Michi- gan Central railroad men admitted that he had not gone there but they refuged to disclose his whereabouts. ENGLISHMEN NOT GOING TO ACCEPT BLAME MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Feb. 28— (By The Associated Prees)—“The other fellows can chiry all they want to. We have our own story to tell,” said George Block, fireman of the Michigan Central, wrecked at Potter, Ind., last night. William Long, the engineer, and Blook were found here, awaiting a special train which took them and various Michigan Cehtral officials to Niles, Mich., where an official fail- road inquiry was to be held later today. Long was told he had been accused of responsibility for the wreck by the Porter towerman, and it had been reported also that the police officials were seeking him, but he made no reply. PORTER, Ind., Feb. 28.—(By The Associated Press)—At 1:45 p. m., after the forty-first body had been taken to the Chesterton morgue, P. BH. Preif- er, division superintendent of the Michigan Central railroad, said he thought the last body probably had been found. There were two bodies at Michigan City. There was & possibility, however, he said, that several more bodies might be found under the engine, the only part of the wreck remaining to be cleared away. Vice-President Receives Loving Cup From Senate WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.— A tall silver loving cup was presented to Vice President Marshall today by the senate as a “‘going-away” gift, the ro- Publican and democratic leaders, Sen- ators Lodge of aMssachusetts, and Underwood of Alabama expressing the esteem and good wishes of the mem-~ bership in presentation speeches.

Long of Jackson, Mich., and Fireman George Block of Michigan City, Ind., were able to save themselves, their engine being far be- yond the point of the collision. “I was not to blame.” Towerman Cook told an Associated Press repre- sentative at his home at Chesterton early toda “I threw the block against the Michigan Central train while it was two miles back from the crossing. I do not know why they failed to catch the signal.” An official statement issued from the office of the chief dispatcher of the Michigan Central at Chicago also declared the Michigan Central en- gine crew apparently failed to observe that the crossing signal was eet against them PARTS OF BODIES PICKED UP IN BASKETS.
