Car Was Overcrowded. a INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED TODAY Suggestion Respecting the Use of a Safety Brake. ee THE EVIDENCE GIVEN The coroner's jury in the case of the young man, Franklin Carleton Hosmer, who was killed Sunday night in the smash- up on the Capital Railway Company's tracks in Hillsdale, as published in yester- day's Star, concluded the hearing this afternoon and returned a verdict as fol- lows: “That Franklin C. Hosmer died at Provi- dence Hospital July 10 from injuries re- ceived in an accident on the Capital Rail- way Company in Anacostia, D.

From them came requests to let them be heard early in the day because of their suf- | ferings, and as far as he could the coroner granied their requests. Statements of Passengers. A young man named George Carter, who lives at 708 I street, testified that he was a pa nger on the car and was sitting on the third seat from the front. When the car had reached a point just north of the asy- lum gate he heard something under the car He noticed the motorman go to the of the car and jump. s the car when he jumped?” bout half way down the hill. “Did you know what had broken?” “I imagined it was a chain.” “Did you hear a jingling noise after the urred?”” ness said he did not hear three bells nor did he see the conductor apply ar brake. The car was crowded and s could not have seen him. Shearer, 1010 1st street southeast, d that the car was crowded to its | utmost capacity.

Witness did not hear the k and did not believe it did Every man who jumped from the car fell. Witness was on the third seat from the front and he advised his friends n seated and not to jump. s said he is a machinist and it was | his opinion that a double chain on the brake would have prevented the accident. “Somebody Said Jump.” Arthur Marks, 1109 5th street southeast, | testified that the car ran all right until the asylum gate was reached. The car’s speed Was not reduced there, as had been the cus- tom. ‘ihe motorman, he said, cut off the current and relied upon the brake. Wit- ness heard the chain snap after the car had arted down the hill. Somebody, I think the motorman, called ‘Jump ia_witne ‘and I jumped. The motor nan jumped just ahead of me. Witress “was knocked senseless and | knew sothing more of what happened. The | car ws crowded. Passengers were on the platfo.ms and running beards, and they were also packed in front of those who | Were seated. He could not say who called “jump.” Edward Stephenson, who lives in Ana- costia, testified that he was in the car with his wife and mother-in-law. They were riding ‘kwards, and the first he knew of ything wrong was when he saw a man ving on the road. Then there were so many men on the road that they looked as if they were so many telegraph poles rest- ing there. Witness said his wife attempted , but he held her, and he also ad- ssenger to remain on the Soon afterwards the lights went out and then the crash came. The roof of the car feli in and witness assisted in rescuing the passengers. He was injured about the neck. W. D. King, Anacostia, who was badly disfigured about the face and head, related his experience on the runaway car. He was on the third or fourth seat from the rear when the chain broke. He heard the motorman call “The chain's broke.” Then go farthest | in furniture. are crying “our prices give or we could not use of our fair Credit values, stock. consequent To make money Of course you want to see your money do full duty, and the chances are that you are puzzled to know whom to believe when all dent that our values must be as great as others | there must be some other cause for the large and steady increase of our business. sign two reasons to it. i and better assorted than others show.

N.W. he gave three bells and the conductor made his way toward the rear brake. Witness said there were about 140 passengers on the car. He had frequently seen the cars crowded as much as was the car. One Hundred and Fifty Passengers. George Thorp, 329 9th street southeast, testified that there were about 150 passen- gers on the car. He heard the chain snap near the asylum gate. The car was then going at the rate of fifteen or twenty miles an hour, and before the foot of the hill was reached it was running at the rate of sixty or seventy miles. When he heard the motorman say the chain had broken, and saw him (the motorman) jump, wit- ness knew it was time to do something, and he went through the air. He knew the car had to stop at the foot of the hill, and he did not know what was going to stop it. “And,” he added, “I thought I would take my chances in the air.” Charles A. Cooper, 819 6th street south- west, said he was astonished at the num- ber of passengers on the car. He thought the current was on when the crash came. Those who jumped, he thought, were hurt worse than those who remained on the car. A passenger on the car gave the bell cord several vigorous pulls, and the con- ductor started back. He thought the con- ductor could not have reached the rear brake in time to operate it, because of the crowd on the running boards. The motor- man, he thought, said nothing. He did hear somebody say, “Jump if you can; the car's getting away from us.” He knew nothing about the breaking of the chain. Chains Not Worn. B. H. White, Congress Heights, formerly employed by the Capital Railway Company, told the jury that he examined the car shortly after the accident occurred and saw it was in two pieces. Witness said that the chains Were ull new ones when they were put on the cars. The pieces of the chain shown him, the witness said, were not worn enough to hurt them. The motor, said wit- ness, can be reversed, but not with any de- gree of safety when the car is running at a fast rate of speed. While he was in the employ of the company he said the brake on this particular car was never reported to him as being out of repair. The fact that the lights did not go out did not show that the current was still on the car. The lights would remain as long as the trolley remained on the wire. Conductor and Motorman Experienc- ed. you leave the company’s em- asked. discharged by the new general manager. The motorman who was on the car, wit- ness said, is an old and experienced man, and the conductor he regarded as one of the best in the city. Both men have had a great deal of experience. Questioned by a juror, witness said that the only brake on car was the single chain brake. He knows nothing of the brakes on the Capital ‘Traction road, but said h® thought the Met- ropolitan company has an auxiliary brake. When witness was with the company the cars were inspected every night. Witne: identified the chain as the one taken fro: the demolished car and said it is heavier than most chains used for this purpose. John W. Lowry, 1219 324 street, w! @ passenger on the car, told the juz he heard the chain snap and saw the m torman jump. The ger: sal were packed in the car like sardines in a box. Witness remained on the car mntil the Anacostia horse car was struck. Tne mo- torman, he thought, rang the gong three times just after the chain broke. Then he jumped off. “Ware you hurt at all?” he was asked. “Only shook up,” was his answer. “As luck would have it, when the top of the car was knocked off it went back over my head.” When the chain snapped the car was go- ing very slow. Witness thought the motor- man trying to stop the car when the chain snapped. Car Running Slowly. Joseph Hennager, 2% 12th street south- east, testified tat before the car started a man who he though worked for the rail- road company said that no more passengers were to get on. When the brake snapped ths car was going slow. Witress said he heard somebody say, “The car's gone,” and he replied, ‘I'm gone too.” After reaching the ground he rolled five or thirty feet and ruined his Witness went to the foot of the hill and helped the doctors until midnight. George Jackson, who was a passenger on the car, told of the breaking of the chain. He conversed with the motorman justi be- fore th» accident happened, and the latter remarked, “If the chain breaks you had better Jump.” Just then the chain snapped. The motor- ssed him and jumped, and just aft- said, he jumped. During the conversation befor> the accident, he said, the motorman remarked, “This old brake ain't no good, anyhow.” Witne: was with Mr. Roberts and the latter re- mained on the car. He was seriously in- jured, and w was told today that he may dle at any tim2. Witness said he knew something of cars. In Baltimore, he said, the cars have what is known the track or safety brake, in addition to the wheel brake. Might Have Been Avoided. Witness said he thought the accident might have been avoided had the current been reversed as soon as the break oceur- red. There was no current on at the time of the accident. Witness thought there were about 135 passengers on the car. J. D. Newton, 430 Jackson street, Ana- costia, who is connected with ihe Anacostia horse car line, testified that he saw the ruined car and found that the chain was broken. The chain was worn « little. The horse cars had safety brakes at one time, but they had been taken off. Aloysius Shaffer, 713 3d street, who was a passenger on the car, also gave testl- mony. Witness could not jump, and so he‘ remained until he was thrown ff. John W. Higdon, 120 E street southeast, who was a passenger on the car, testified that he heard somebody say the brake was disabled. He heard the three bells given ard saw the conductor go toward the rear of the car. Witness thought there were between 80 and 100 passengers om the. car. Motorman Recalled. Motorman Selby was recalled and ques- ticned by a juror. He said he reversed the mctor before he gave the conductor the danger signal. “What happened when you reversed the mctor?” he was asked. “it didn’t take. He denied that he made the remark about the brake attributed to him by the wit- ness, Jackson. He also denied that he jumped before the car reached the foot of the hill. Two days before the accident oc- curred, he said, new shoes were put on the brake. He had never reporied that the brake or chain was defective. There were three or four men on the front platform when the car left Congress Heights. He heard the men talking about tie brake, but he denied that he took any part in the conversation, The General Manager. F. M. Haines, general manager of the Capital Railway Company, testified that when he reached the scene of the smashup he examined the car and found that the chain had broken. Tne fuse had not been blown out. Witness said that the cars were as well equipped as any road in the country. The road, he said, is equipped with safety appliances, and if they did not work he could not account for it. The car was comparatively new, and the chain was an extra large one. At the time the motor- man left the car, he said, nothing could have prevented the accident. Unless there was something wrong, the reversal of the motor should have stopped the car. ‘Were you ever advised by the superin- tendent of the Anacostia line that you ought to have had a stronger chain?” wit- ness was asked. “No, sir." Witness exhibited the broken chain, and said it was not worn to any extent. This closed the testimony, and the case was submitted to the jury. ‘Witnesses Examined Yesterday. After The Star’s report of the inquest closed yesterday several witnesses were examined. Motorman Shelby was on the stand and told the jury that he had no current turned on when the ton of the asy- lum hill was reached. He remained on the car until the curve at the foot of the hill was reached and then jumped off. “Did the conductor jump before you did?” the witness was asked. “He didn’t jump at all,” the witness an- swered. “He remained on the car.” “Where did the chain break?” asked the coroner. “About half way down the hill,” he an- | wered. ‘The car was near the black- smith shop when the chain broke.” Conductor Werner's Testimony. Conductor Werner testified that he was collecting fares on the way down the hill when he received a warning of three betls indicating that his services were required at the rear brake. He hurried to the rear platform and applied the brake. He re- mained on the car and was hard at work on the brake when the crash came “How many people were on the cat?” “About seventy or eighty.” “How many will the car seet?” “About fifty. Witness said there was a ‘wisied lnk vhain on the brakes, but there was no reserve chain or brake for use in case of accident. Werner said he saw the broken chain this morning, but saw no defect in it. “How big was the chain?” “I don't know,” he replied. “Was it as big as a lead pencil?” asked the coroner. “Yes, sir.” “Did you ever know one of these chains to break before?" “No, sii Witness said the brake was similar to those used by the Capital Traction Com- pany. Eyewitnesses. Bruce Underdve, colored, testified that he was standing near Howard and Nich- ols avenues when he heard the noise of the car coming down the Fill. Just after the ecllision with the horse car the runaway car passed him. Something from the car struck him and knocked him down. Wit- ness helped to lift the top from the wreck and getting cut the passengers. Frank Foster, colored, gave similar t timony. Witness could see that the car was crowded, but he had no idea of tre number of passengers. When the car was near Sumner avenue he saw a maa jump off, and afterward he noticed that there was no motorman on the car. Roger Barker, driver of the wrecked herse car, testified that a broken chain caused the accident. “Did you see the chain?” “Yes, sir,” answered witness. my hand.” Vhat caused it to break?” It was worn and was very weak.” Witness saw the conductor in the crowd, but did not see the motorman. The car was lighted until it jumped the track. Then the trolley left the wire and the lights went out. Coroner Carr directed the officer to get additional evidence concerning the acci- dent, as well as some testimony regarding the brake, and the hearing was postponed until this morning. ee Secretary Bliss Defendant. ‘The land controversy between the Aspen Consolidated Mining Company and John R. Williams has again come into court. To- day Mr. August Goerts of the mining com- pany filed suit against Cornelius N. Bliss, Secretary of the Interior, and Binger Her- mann, commissioner of the general land office, seeking to have set aside a recent decision by Secretary pliss in favor of Wil- liam: The Aspen mpany claims patent to certain public mining lands in Colorado. Williams, they claim, encroached. The matter has been before the Interior De- partment many times. Former Secretary Hoke Smith decided in favor of the Aspen company and ordered their entry recorded. The case was reviewed and again taken up before Secretary Bliss, with the result that former decisions were reversed and Wil- Hams’ claim to the land recognized. aes English Naval Experts Alarmed. London Corr. New York Timer Many important subjects thrown to top by the events of the past week being anxiously discussed by British na- val officers. It is hardly too much to say that Santiago has frightened them. They realize that American gun practice must %e infinitely superior to British. Lord Charles Beresford 1s going round declaiming in the lobbies that he warned the admiralty and parliament of this years ago, striving to incite a parliamentary mutiny against the admiralty’s stupid neglect of gunnery. It 1s suspected, moreover, that American ship ordnance and ammunition are superi- or to the British, and it is known that its armoring ts; and this is going to be talked about titterly. But most striking of all is the sudden perception here among naval Cfficers that our Apnapolis men are scien- tifically their betters. While England kas four military colleges, her immeasurably p.ore important naval needs are supposed to be served by a single educational insti- tution at Greenwich, the scope of which can be judged by the fact that it has eight professors and eighteen tutors, several of the latter attending once or twice a weck. This state of affairs 1s really so preposter- ous that it can only require some such sharp awakeniz:g as Santiago has furnish- ed to alter it. There have been no British naval maneuvers for years in which move collisions, accidents and misunderstand- ings have not occured in a week than the whole American campaign in Cuban waters has exhibited. When British offi- cers themselves say that this ts because “T had it the are they are not educated like the Americans, as they are saying all over the country, it is probable that there will be a change. It 1s not an inappropriate place to add that English men of affairs confess tc me their surprise at hot hearing of steps being taken by the United States swiftly to train a young civil service staff for the specific duties of colonial administration. To send cut unskilled administrators, ignorant of the habits and ideas of a country and de- pendent on native interpreters and rebel political advisers, is, they say, to walk straight into the most calamitous kind of a hornets’ nest. tos Catholic Summer School Session. The first week day of the session of the Catholic Summer School of America yes- terday afforded a varied and entertaining program. The president of the school, the Rev. M. J. Lavalle of New York, formally opened the lecture course and the round table talks in the Auditorium. Rev. Thos. P. McLoughlin of New York a music his- torian, lectured on “Gounod as a Song Writer,” and followed his remarks by per- formances of some of Gounod’s master- pieces. Rev. Charles Warren Currier of Baltimore, a well-known historian, opened his ‘historical series. with “Foreign Compll- cations Before 1812.” ‘When a man breaks down with thet Gread disease, consumption, and recognizes his condition, he starts out to fish for ealth.
